3VED29DQAW01 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Well I have to say as a HVAC contractor for 32 years this was a very easy repair for me or anyone who is not a HVAC contractor such as myself. I always like to do a little research on any repairs that I have not performed myself and the instructions and video that was available on this web site was awesome. I did this repair in less them 15 minutes removing parts and reassembly of new part. I did let ice bin sit out for about 10 minutes after I removed ice to de thaw and reach room temperature to keep from cracking frozen plastic parts.The new ice auger drum was a very nice perfect fit and was made of a much better quality plastic then the OEM that was replaced. My mother was very pleased as I did this repair for her at her home and she watched me do the repair and she is 74 years old and she commented that she could have done this repair herself after watching me and she also watched video from this web site after I mentioned it to her. I would highly recommend that if anyone needs parts for there freezer or refrigerator to buy from this web site. The price was much lower then anyplace else I could find and it was shipped to my front door in less then 2 days. I would give this company 5 stars and when I need parts for my refrigerator I will sure stop back here and buy the parts again. Thank You PartSelect and keep up the great job. Ken

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.

Only critical item about this repair is to turn the shelf stud counter-clockwise as you remove it and clockwise as you insert the new one through the holes left by the old one. You turn and pull, gently, and the stud pops out. You'll see that its held in place by two little wires that dig into the sidewall of the fridge once its inserted. The new stud goes in by gently pushing and twisting the new stud. So easy, but a little scary the first time you grap the stud and start pulling--the whole wall comes with it for a bit. Use a vice grips, but grab the stud just tightly enough to hold it without smashing it.

Took out the bin, took out the glass, took out the shelf, took off two white gaskets by hand. Used a screw driver to pry off a metal decorative strip. Replaced the two gaskets and metal strip onto NEW plastic shelf. Placed plastic shelf in refrigerator place glass on top of shelf and put in bin. Very easy.
