WRS23MF5AS5 Westinghouse Refrigerator - Instructions

The defrost thermostat kit is located in the freezer side of the refrigertor. I turned off the electrical breaker for the refrigerator. I began the project by removing all the frozen food on the lower half of the freezer. I removed the racks and 3 rails on both sides using a cordless drill with a 1/4" socket and located panel. The panel had 4 1/4" screws holding it to the back of the freezer. I removed all screws and the panel came out easy. I located the defrost thermostat and with some wire cutters, I cut the wires. I connected the the new defrost thermostat with wire connectors and reattached it to the copper tube I removed it from. I put the panel back on along with the side rails and racks.. This project was very easy.

take 1/4 hex screws out clean out dust ,remove old fan blade replace with new install bolts .

bought new icemaker

I followed the instructional video and it went well except the piece in the door did not pop out easily and broke into other fragments. I had to use a needle-nose pliers to remove them from the cavity in the door.

Removed the door, removed the broken part, inserted new part, used vaseline on all exposed parts and put door back on (better than new)!

Replacing the tray was easy once I received the correct tray. It seems the part number on the tray had been changed over the years since I had purchased the refrigerator. By ordering the part from just the catalog, I had no idea I was ordering the wrong part. When I received the part, I called and the representative who I spoke with told me of the problem and with the serial number the correct part was ordered...good Customer Service.

It was a piece of cake took mins Thanks ps for those who are not mechanical they even have videos to show you how to make the repair

I watched the do it yourself video which helped tremendously. My husband was busy so I was able to do it myself.

removed the front cover and then the motherboard underneath, removed the old tounge and placed the new one in, very easy and straight forward

I changed the valve but still no ice, changed the filter also. think it was just froze. could have saved me 70 bucks

Purchased a replacement part only to find the new part had push on fitting and my part has screw on fittings. Went to Youtube where Partselect had a video on how to replace the part from screw fittings to push on fittings

Well to be honest with you, I followed the directions that someone else had posted. And it was somewhat easy. The only thing that I was having problems with was dropping the screws while trying to put them back. So I used a magnet, several times. My 9 year old grandson helped me. It really didnt take that long to replace. Good Luck

Easily done. Great fit.

took old valve off one peice of it was broke off from freeze replaced it with new valve all but one conection was quick connect electric connections were color coded quick fix works fine thanks Gary

Not long after we bought this fridge, the plastic on the light switch cracked, making the lever stick out too much so that the door wouldn't close. It's been taped down ever since. I simply pulled the old switch out and plugged the new one in. I'm kicking myself that I didn't do this ages ago. It was so easy and now I can see inside my refrigerator again.
