EF36IWFSS Dacor Refrigerator - Instructions

I snapped the cover plate to the filter open. Pulled the filter down and twisted counter clock wise to take filter out. I installed the new filter in by inserting the filter and tuning clock wise to secure the filter. I flushed the water for about two minutes and then allowed it to be put back into service.

Followed the video, 5 minutes later new piece installed. Unfortunately, the new plastic is like the old and the same defect could easily recur. thanks

Went on the internet to find someone else with the same problem. I have over 30 Years of Heavy Industrial Air Cond and Refrigeration experience. The troubleshooting was no problem to find the the Control Board failure. Just didn't want to spend $300.00 on the control board on a 3 yr old Stainless Steel side be side Refrigerator. Then we had to wait 6 days for the darn part to arrive. The real difficulty was finding out we had to reprogram the new control board. No directions to reprogram main Control Board came with the part. Also we could not find the original owners manual. (Put up so we could find it later--Right). Had to go to the internet and Google to find the instructions to program the new Control Board. With the CODE #. What a mess.... But we now have cold Ice Cream and Momma is happy.

Simply remove the filter and insert the bypass cap in its place. Cap turned a little hard but if your careful everything goes together easily.

So simple I couldn't believe it! Twist out the old filter then twist in the new! Easy Peasy!

Open box put shelf in

Excellent easy to follow video. Had expected a hassle but whole repair was very smooth and everything worked as shown in video. Sure beats impossible to follow drawings. My wife was amazed I could do it...usually I can't fix anything!

Thought I needed a new filter. Did not solve the problem. I returned the filter to partselect as per instructions. Will order from partselect when I need parts.

Easy...

WAY EASY! Very cost affected. Very frustrating that the peg used to secure the chef's pantry cover is molded into the side piece. Bad design by Amana but PartSelect helps make it a easy, cheap repair if it breaks off. This piece broke VERY easily as it is a little flimsy.

Replaced the water filter with the bypass plug. The water in western NC is perfect out of the faucet.

Used Nutdriver to remove 1 screw.

Told Wife To Watch The Instructional Movie, Got Me A Beer And Watched Football. She Finished In about Thirty Minutes.Good Job

I simply watched the repair video and did it! Super easy, needed start device and capacitor. As easy as unplugging the old and adding the new. The video helped and gave me confidence. Wives can fix fridges too! Saved me $2500. Looks like I'll need a new excuse if I want a new fridge.

PartSelect made it so easy, I entered my model number on their site, stated that I needed the glass shelf and the part came up and I ordered it in only a few minutes. I was still skeptical when the glass arrived two days later that it might not be the right part but I slid the glass in and it fit like a glove, wow was I impressed! Thank you so much because it was a pain without that shelf and I will definitely contact you again should I need anything else.
