2VED27TKFW01 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

supported the door on blocks. removed old parts with a socket and ratchet. the new parts didn't line up quite right, so some modification with a dremel was necessary. otherwise, the repair was very simple.

Removed the door, laid the door on its side, and pulled the worn part from the door. Inserted the new part, reattached the door, and it works like a charm. The parts diagram online was very helpful. I ended up purchasing a part I didn't need in case an unidentified washer came with it, but I didn't need it. No big deal.

I removed the items from inside the door and removed the door from the refrigerator at the upper hinge. Removed cam from the door and replaced with the new one. Checked for proper operation and it's quiet as a mouse. I love it.

work like new

We thought we were in need of a new seal around the door but as my husband checked the door he found out it was a piece under the door that holds it up so the door was not sealing right when it closed. I went on line. Found this site and found my fridge. My husband viewed the pics of the parts and figured out we needed a cam. I ordered my part and could not believe it came the very next day!!! I didn't even pay for anything other then regular delivery. He took off the door and it was simple to just slip on the new part and replace and put the door back on.. Nothing much to tell here. Less then 30 minutes. Thank you so much for the quick service getting it out to us. I was about to put a child lock on the door just to keep it closed..

I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.

take off the face plate of fridge and follow the cable back to the compartment where fridge and freezer meet. once out, had to remove transluscent cover from thermostat wire - easy and feed that same cover onto the new thermostat. Slow is better and using pliers to force 1/4 to 1/2 inch at a time into the tubing - easier if you have 2 people. After that just put the length back in and insert the controller back in the panel and plug in the electricity again. (to the thermostat). 30 minutes later - cold fridge.

Synthesized other's comments on similar issues, eliminated those issues NOT applicable. Narrowed what was left and decided on thermostat as first of three likely solutions. Followed other's installation comments and completed a successful replacement. The avaialability of other comments was key to success. Thanks for a great web site. Best clue was the result of slapping the front control panel to start the balking compressor. Not likely to find that in a repair manual.

Removed the door and replaced the lower door cam. Old lower door cam was completly stripped. Insatalled new one and door sealed again! Yay!

First I had to tilt the refrigerator on wood on the supports under the refrigerator, the wheels were easy to get to then I unscrewed the old ones and replaced them with the new better wheels. The old ones where plastic.

Removed the door, installed the lower cam & re-installed the door. Diagram & parts list correct. An easy repair.

Used a screwdriver to pry loose the old switch, swapped wires to the new switch and pushed it into the opening. Took about 2 minutes.
