RS20AKXDN00 Roper Refrigerator - Instructions

One day the ice cream in the freezer seemed mushy, but the ice was still frozen. There was not water in the ice bin. However, the problem resolved itself. This suggested that the defrost timer had become stuck for an extended time, but then continued to run. The fact that the freezer went back to frozen, implies that all the components of the cooling loop (compressor, condenser & fan, evaporator & fan) were fine. It was possible that the problem was caused by a bad defrost (?evaporator?) thermostat but everything I saw on line suggested that the defrost timer is the culprit about 40 - 50% of the time. Anyway, I followed the instructions in the on-line video at this site for replacing the defrost timer and it was easy. It would have only taken 15 minutes, but I spent a while reading the defrost timer instructions and hunting down a schematic for my refrigerator, to determine which pin the loose wire should go on.

Very easy!

Followed the awesome Youtube video posted by PartSelect! Gave me the confidence to do it, and I'm glad I did. Thanks everyone at PartSelect!

I followed the video instructions. Additionally the ordering process was easy and efficient and I received the parts promptly. Ordered on on 7/29/12 and received the parts on 7/31/12. The rep who took my order was very helpful and steered me to the right part. I'll use PartSelect again and will recommend them to my friends...ps. I have no connection whatsoever to this company.

No repair needed, just replacement but I would like to say that you did a fantastic job getting it to me. I ordered the part at approximately 2PM and by noon the next day, it was at my front door. Thank you for shipping so quickly.

The shelf support the refrigerator crisper container end had broken off. I found the part on the website and viewed the installation video. If I had not seen the video I would have had difficulty completing the job. Following the video instruction the old bracket that supports the shelft broke off. But, because I had been covered in the video how to remove the bracket enabled me to overcome the part breaking. Good set of instructions made the job go well even with the bracket breaking.

Emptied the inside door. Took out the screws from the top hinge. Lifted the door off the bottom hinge. Laid the door on the kitchen table. Replaced the cam on the door. Replaced the cam on the bottom hinge. Placed door back on bottom hinge and put screws back on top.

I knew the repair wasn't difficult. It was a matter of finding the replacement part. Luckily, I found the part via the internet on your site. Lucky for me, there was an installation video!! These videos are worth 1000 bucks!! Never have encountered a site with installation videos before. It gave me complete insight as to how the job was sequenced. I'm a very visual person, so videos are the perfect helper for me. With fewer and fewer affordable local service companies around to fix problems like mine, your site gave me the complete confidence to easily switch out the condensor fan. I completed the repair for about $63.00. Your site ROCKS! Keep up the repair videos because they are awesome and extremely helpful. I felt like your pricing was competitive for this item. Thanks again!!

Was very simple once I found out where the defrost timer was located. I had a friend walking me through trying to find the location on the phone. Not all models have them in the same place. Once the part was located all I had to do was remove the cover, unplug the old one and plug the new one in just the way the old one came off. The black wire was easy to locate on the old and just matched it up. Put the cover back on and plugged it in. It was no time till I started feeling it cool. Checked both top and bottom with thermomater and it was where it should be within 12 hours. I am happy and using it again. Was almost ready to throw it out. Did not know it was so cheap to fix one. Nothing anyone can't handle. If this woman can do it anyone can.

I found the condenser fan was not working so I bought a new condenser fan kit and installed it. Fixed!

This is a simple repair. the only reason it took as look as it did was because you need to empty the products from the door(s). Of course this is a good opportunity to thoroughly clean the fridge. The problem was caused by wear on the plastic spacer for the bottom hinge. Remove the plastic covers that conceal the top hinge located on top of the refrigerator. Remove the three bolts that attach the hinge to the housing. The door can then be lifted off the bottom hinge. Remove and replace the bottom spacer. Then remove and replace the receiver in the door by prying it out with a screwdriver or pliers and popping in the new one. I put a dab of lithium grease on the hinges before I reassembled them to reduce the wear and extend the life a little. Reverse the procedure to reassemble.

Took old drawer out, put new drawer in. When I first opened the new drawer I was a little disappointed as the printing on the edge of the crisper (where it says humidity low-high) was a different color than my existing drawer, I know it's such a small detail that nobody would notice but me. My fridge is almost brand new and I'm the one who broke the drawer so I was a little sad but then realized that I could remove the edge of the drawer and replace it with my old one... VIOLA brand new drawer with purple letters! The drawer itself came so fast, I believe it was 1-2 days to my door! Thank you Part Select

pull unit away from the wall, and unplug it. remove the grill, and cardboard guard on the lower back of the unit. remove Three screws for the motor bracket. Remove the bracket legs from the old motor and assemble them to the new motor. take the fan blade off the old motor, place it on the new. Cut the wires at the old motor, strip the insulation back, use supplied wire nuts to connect the new motor. Reverse order to reassemble. Plug in unit to test function.

I have a KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator and the right door clunked everytime it opened. We think it was damaged when contractors had to move the fridge and probably were too rough with it. I went on line and found that I could actually repair it myself (thanks to this web site, a great web site, by the way). I researched and found out through others that I needed a new door closing CAM kit. I only needed to fix 1 door, but bought the whole kit anyway (PS358690, Door Closing Cam Kit)to have spares. The kit showed up, I followed the great instructions via the video to remove the door, replaced the upper CAM on the door first and then ran into a snafu with the lower cam. The hinge on my model fridge does not have a replaceable CAM, it is physically attached to the door hinge. The instructions that came with the kit showed a hinge that was not my hinge - sigh. I had to put back all the old clunky parts, put the door back on and go order a new hinge (hopefully). Luckily there was a hinge available for my model with the CAM installed. I purchased it (PS331817, Door Hinge with Cam) and it came quickly like the other parts. I took the door off again (I knew how to do it this time), I replaced the hinge with ease, put the door back on and it is no CLUNK-FREE - Smooth like when we bought it. Thanks to everyone who wrote in about their clunking issues and thanks to PartSelect for the parts and the help.

Followed the video, very helpful! Basically a walk in the park.
