Refrigerator would work great then after 2 weeks would stop. I had to unplug and wait a few minutes the plug it in again. Would work 2 weeks or so then the exact same thing. Hopefully the main board will solve the problem
(1) Unplug the refrigerator (2) Remove 4 nut driven sheet metal screw to remove access plate in the back. (3) Remove a clear hard plastic cover. Several electronic boards are held in place with plastic tabs. (4) The main electronic board is easily recognizable. (5) Unplug all wire plugs from main board. Don't work about what plug goes where when reinstalling. Each plug is different from the others. It's fool proof. (6) I wore vinyl gloves when I handled and installed the new board. I did not want any static charge to jump to the board. (7) Re-install all electrical plugs. Note use minimum force to remove and install these plugs as some are small and fragile. (8) Before re-installing the hard clear plastic cover make sure all electrical plugs are properly installed. (9) Follow thru to reverse removal procedure for metal plate. (10). Plug in the refrigerator. (11) I purchased a delay receptable to prevent both electrical surges and reduction in electrical voltage.
The door switch was broken so the interior light would not come on.
The instructions in the package were not helpful. They wanted me to cut the wiring harness and described where to cut based on the wire colors. My wires were not the same color! I removed the light mechanism using a combination of a screwdriver, putty knife, and plain old muscle with my fingers! The wiring harness unplugged easily and the new one inserted. It was easy to push the whole assembly back into the door. I spent more time looking for something to cut the wiring harness with (and never did find it) than the whole job actually took without needing to cut anything!
Popped out broken switch with blunt flat edged instrument. Disconnected switch from unit . Plugged new piece in and reinserted into side panel of refrigerator. Very easy.
use kitchen knife to pry out. replaced switch assemble and pressed back into place. Could not have done this with out help from previous customers. Thanks
Disconnect plug from wall. Insert putty knife between light switch.and trim panel , apply pressure to depress plastic spring holding switch in place. Apply a slight twist too putty knife releasing switch from trim piece. This wil expose plug connected to switch. Disconnect plug from switch. Connect new switch to plug. Insert switch into trim. Plug refrigerator into wall socket.
We looked up the problem online with the model number of the refrigerator. We ordered the part and followed the video installation that was sent with the order and was found online prior to purchasing
bulbs were not burnt out. received the new switch in a few days. watch the short video, was good to see how it comes out. used a putty knife to release the defective switch, removed wires put them on the new one and posed the new switch back in. Not bad Part cost $11.00 7 dollars shipping so for 17 bucks it works great. nice to see what is inside the refer!
Eased the putty knife under the edge of the switch housing and pried it off. Pulled two wires off the old terminals and hooked them onto the new one and reinstalled into the refrigerator body.
Water was leaking when ice maker or water dispenser was being used.
Looked for the same repair on line by model number. I found it, watched the repair, then used those instructions to complete the repair on my refrigerator. The disassembly and reassembly took longer than actually replacing the part. It now works beautifully with NO leaks.
Everything went as planned except the cold temperature (freezer door switch located inside freezer) made deflection of the switch locking tab difficult to remove. Letting the switch warm up was not an option.
