JFD2589KES Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

I noticed that the refrigerator was having trouble maintaining temperature. Thought it might be time for new one until I found out that a new frig was $5k to $7K. Just happened to notice that the light switch didn't look quite right (was not sitting sqaure to the door). Once I pressed it it came loose. I then realized the the lights were staying on (50 watts of heating). Replaced the switch and the frig started working like new.

the repair went great, right parts work every thanks

Removed the drawers, glass shelf, removed the three screws with a small socket set then took out broken part. I needed to unsnap some attached slide parts after removing the assembly. Attached removed parts from the old side piece to the new side part and replace the screwws initially removed. Then I snapped the shelf flip cover into the the new right and old left side. It is good as new now. It was quite easy once I figured out how to remove the sliding parts. It took more time to clean the shelf and bootom of the drawers than it did to replace the part.

Inspection did not reveal the problem...replaced the unit.

Removed the old ice maker by disconnecting the wiring harness, loosening to side screws and removing a third screw under the ice maker. Installed the new ice maker following the above instructions in reverse order. Ice maker started working after about 30-45 minutes (probably for the tray to get cold enough). It was a very simple process. Thanks.

removed three screws from left side of unit then the next set of screws, next disassemble unit to water fill bucket , remove new fill bucket and replace with old one, reassemble in revered order

It literally took 5 mins. Remove the crisper drawers and pantry drawer for ease of access. Remove the 3 screws holding the end cap in place. Remove the glide from the old endcap and reattach it to the new part. Remove the humidity control arm from the old endcap and reattach to the new part (hardest part of the job - just takes a little finesse). Reinstall the new endcap and the drawers.

Just to add a few items not on other lists.


Get appliance manual out to see how to turn the unit off.
Has a tubing valve in the rear on water inlet. Used valve to shut water off.
Then replaces whole unit as per instructions on site.

Repair was easy. I removed the food from tha refer and backed out four screws that help end cap in place. I replaced part and screwed it back in using a little locltite on the screws so they didn't work their way out. I then snapped the cover back onto the hinge points and put the food back in the refrigerator. Done

Per the instructions I shut the power off to the refrigerator, took the ice cube tray out. I disconnected the electrical connector to the ice maker, removed the 1 screw holding it in place. I then lifted the old ice maker off the 2 tabs and out it came. I reversed the above steps and turned the power back on....It was making ice again in about 3 hours.

pulled out both crisper drawers, removed panrty drawer, removed drawer slide screws, removed right pantry end cap, gently removed temperature selecture slide assembly, then worked backewards from there with the new part. Not bad very easy,

I removed the vegetable drawers and glass. Removed the deli drawer and glass. I then used a small nutdriver to remove the small hexhead screw. Once removed I unscrewed the metal slider and screwed it to the new part. I screwed the new part in where I removed the old one. It was pretty easy. I just wish they made that part that breaks off so easily out of metal. I am frustrated by the number of times I need to replace it. PartSelect is great at delivering the part fast.

Removed all the screws. Removed all the parts the did not come with the new unit. Wireing,face plates. Assembled the parts and reinstalled

I was amazed at how quick I received the parts

I simply took the drawers and bottom glass shelf out and took the two screws that hold the end cap in out, removed the draw slide from it, installed the drawer slide on the new part and put it it. Very easy.

Pry old switch and pull out. Disconect two wires. Put two wires on new switch, must be inserted right and connections not loose. Put switch in, making shure wies do not come off and snap in place
