59675522400 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

I removed the old ice maker as described by the DIY video and had no problem except, I had to remove the ice tray from the motor section so the end cap could be changed. This only required removal of two Phillips screws on the case of the motor assembly, that are used to to secure the tray. Once the tray was off, the ice ejector could be removed and the end cap was free to change. Everything was re-installed in reverse order and unit was mounted. An FYI to anyone with slow ice making, will need to check their freezer temperature. Make sure it's set to get as cold as 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit. After installing new maker, it was not making ice fast enough, only to find my freezer temperature needed to be changed as well. Everything is working as it should now.

Took out the old part(2 screws) and installed the new one and it was fixed, very easy and rewarding, for $20 this was great, a service repair company wanted $150 just to assess the problem.

The nipple on the "pantry end cap - left side" that acted as part of the hinge for the meat drawer cover broke off. After receiving the replacement pantry end cap, I removed the meat drawer, removed the 2 vegetable bins, removed the glass shelf above the meat drawer, removed the screws holding the old pantry end cap, and pulled the old cap out. Then I put the new cap in place, screwed it in, and replaced everything else. The most surprising part of all of this is that I ordered my part on 4/22 and received and installed it on 4/25; 3 days! Thank you partselect for your fast response.

Found glass here and ordered. Had it 2 days later and set new glass in and back in business.

The ice maker was easily replaced, however I still had no ice. I ended up using an on-line repair service which determined that the problem was the water inlet valve. Replacing it was beyond my expertise so I hired an appliance repairman.

Removed Left side support with broken pin (3 small hex head bolts). Replaced with new support with pin in place. Note behind: I broke the pin trying to replace the cover. Now I know to flex back the side to the cover, and not flex the pin which broke. This cost me 25 bucks and one hour, saving me from a probable $300 dollar charge. THANKS, PARTS SELECT!!!!!

Removed long drawer. Unscrewed the end cap. Removed slider from broken end cap. Reconnected the slider to the new end cap. Screwed new end cap in place. Replaced drawer. Done!

After reading the articles previous owners wrote, I tackled the repair. There were no big problems until I had to change out the water line on the icemaker tray--that part was for a different frig--so it had to be changed out with the Amana water line part that was enclosed. I couldn't get that part removed, so I had to have my husband change it out. He then finished the installation. Everything went smoothly, just my pride wanted me to finish it all by myself.

Remove all three drawers. Remove the glass panel. Remove screws from pantry end cap. Remove end cap from refrigerator. Remove temperature control assembly from old end cap. Install temperature control on new end cap. Install new end cap in refridgerator. install screws. Put glass panel back in refrigerator. Put drawers back in refrigerator. Install drawer lid on new end cap. Close the refrigerator. The part arrived within two days. The repair took a total of 20 minutes from opening the box with the new part to closing the refrigerator door after the job was complete.

Took shelves and crisper drawers out, took broken left panel out with nut driver and then replaced with new part. Installed drawers and glass shelf and finished.

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.

I watched the on line you tube video on how to DIY. The putty knife worked to pop out the switch. I used the standar screwdriver to unplug the switch from the wire harness. Then plug in the new switch and pop it back in to the roof of the freezer. Tip: watch out when ordering the new switch - the freezer switch is different than the refrigerator switch. The freezer has three prongs. The fridge has two. I initially ordered the wrong part and added a week to the repair time and had to pay shipping to return the first switch.

got the model number off the fridge. ordered the part. received the part. the funnel part that drains the water into the tray was broke when I received the new icemaker, I took the one that was on my old leaking icemaker an put it on my new one along with the old hardware parts {wireharness, ice level bar}. followed the video instructions an wahlah nomore ice in the bottom of the freezer or in the floor. it looked like the funnel was broke in shipping. its great to have ice because its fixing to get hot!

Removing the large drawer,2 drawers,glass shelve & 2 end supports,two screws on the sliding track & two screws on the Pantry end cap it took me 15 minutes. When removing the left Pantry end cap on the right side, care must be taken because Center Crisper Rail #PS 162879 is attached to the Pantry End cap at the back & real care must be taken to remove it. After all the screws are removed pull the end cap carefuly towards you while moving all to the left until it clears the back wall of the refrigerator. Again, real care must be taken using a flat head screwdriver to remove the plastic track for the Center Crisper Rail. The Pantry End Cap on the left is a lot easier to remove than the right side.

removed the old ice maker and put in the replacement one we purchased.
