3EHD261MMWR0 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

I found this part on PartSelect. I was so excited it also showed a video on how to fix the door. My neighbor said he would help me and I ordered the pkg. It took 3 days to get here since I ordered Friday night and the part arrived Tuesday , this was the Easter Sunday week end also. Well the video said it was easy to do and I think it said it would take 15 min. My neighbor had it fixed in 10 min. I could not be happier. Thanks Part Select and my neighbor Mike.

This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.

Watched the video and viola, it was done. This was on the refrigerator side. Probably should have unplugged it, but didn't. One suggestion is hang a sheet in front to keep the cool in as best you can, even though it went really quickly.

Just loosened the screws at the top of the door hinge bracket, lifted the door off the hinge and set down on its side. Removed the broken cams, both the door cam & Cam on the lower hinge. Discarded the old parts after making sure the new parts would match up with the holes and screw holes would align. Installed a new cam on both lower hinge bracket and bottom of the door with new screws provided. Added some lubricant to minimize future wear and tear and re-installed the screws. Lifted the door back onto the lower hinge pin, Lifted up the pin on the top of door bracket until the pin would slid into the hole on top of door. Tightened the screws on top of the door hinge bracket. checked to make sure door sealed tightly around the perimeter of door opening and we were done. Total time was about 15-20 min. Anyone could do it. Thanks for the instructions and parts. Very pleased with the results. Sincerely, Jim

I watched the video and then ordered the parts. My job was a little easier because the door was already tapped for a 10-32 bolt. Total time including set and tear down was less than an hour. Watching the video first made the job very simple.

Remove 2 screws on underside of face plate, remove screw holding arm to back of opening. remove 2 screws holding nozzle. pass nozzle and hose through new arm, re-attach nozzle and dispensing arm. re-install face plate.

I was unable to remove the old part so I threaded the new part in front of it. They both fit within the actuator. Done!

It tool me a while to diagnose the problem but realized the ice dispenser motor coupling had failed. It fooled me for a while because it turned on the motor but could not turn the plastic shaft inside the icemaker. I found the instructions for an almost identical repair on your website. 1)I removed the motor. In my case the wiring harness came right off.2) I turned the coupling by hand and found that although it turned, it was actually loose on the motor shaft. I then knew it was the problem. 3) The threads were apparently cross threated. 4) As a prior user suggested on your site, I used a hacksaw to cut the old coupling off, being careful to not damage the remaining threads. 5) I ordered the new coupling which arrived very quickly 6) I screwed it on to the motor shaft (remember it is a left hand thread). 7) Presto!! My icemaker works. As the other user suggested, I did not have to use washers as spacers. The new coupling was better made than the old one and actually has ~1/8" nut or spacer already welded to the coupling. My thanks to those before me who helped make this a successful repair.

Impossible to pass the water tubing through the door as kitchenaid spliced the water tube behind the dispenser and also within the door with tube connectors and not to mention that it was also bundled with the wiring harness. I freshen the connections behind the door and after the tubing exited the door. No leak so far. The only piece of the purchased tubing I used was the spout and attached 12 inch strip of the tubing.

I followed a prior installation, that said to be certain to turn the stud to the left to release it from the refer wall. Very good info since it would have torn a larger hole in the wall and the new stud would not have fit well.

Googled for a solution to how to fix a refrigerator door that would not close. Was directed to a video from PartSelect. Was wrong brand, but I got the general idea. Then, I looked up a refrigerator repair for Whirlpool. Called PartSelect with my model number and ordered a Cam Kit. Total cost shipped $20. Arrived in two days during the Holidays! Nice! (Ordered 12/23, Arrived 12/26). Opened package, fired the video up. Fixed in 15 minutes. Amazing!

Viewed the viedo - it showed what to do

Took socket out and replace it with new one. Very easy. W saved alot of money doing it ourself.

I took the upper three screws pull the door up and then removed the broker part in the bottom of door by removing one screw. Install new part and put door back securing it by the three screws on the top of regrigerator. Very easy

followed the video as instructed. Saved two repairman calls, one to find the problem, one to install. Net savings was about $130.00
