WRS23MF5ASP Westinghouse Refrigerator - Instructions

After receiving the parts, I clamped on the connector ends, and put on the shrink tubes. Unplug frig, took out the shelves (4) screws, unscrewed back panel (4) screws. Took old thermostat off tube, clipped (2)wires on old thermostat, splice wires, clamped connector on old wires, moved up shrink tubes, and used a heat gun to shrink the wires. Put new thermostat on the tube the old one came off of, put panel, and the shelves back. Pugged frig in. Works great!

Loosened the two screws on the side wall, disconnected the old unit. Reverse the order for installation. There is a small bracket at the botton that helps level the unit. Be sure to remove that bracket and put it on the new one.

Had to pry the old one from the cabinet. Had to work remaining piece evenly as to not crack the cabinet of the fridge. Not the best design on Frigidaire's part but it was fixable. Thanks for stocking every part under the sun.

Removed shelf and rails. Removed screws from the sides. Removed old broken rails. Mounted replacement rails and secured with screws. Mounted shelf back in refrigerator. Important!! Sanded down the rough edge of the original tray which had cut through the plastic rails. then I lubricated the sides with a small amount of lithium grease.Mounted the drawer and was incredibly impressed by the ease of operation!It is sooo smooth!

take out the old....put in the new...couldn't be easier!

I simply pulled out the ice container and auger assembly and,after washing the new one, Iput the new one in and it worked immediately. It couldn't have been any simpler.

Initially, I traced the noise down to the evaporator motor area. I thought it was the fan blade so I ordered and changed it. Noise level better but still not good. Then I ivestigated problem area again. Removed the motor,discoverd that the motor shaft was loose /drifting which caused the "hummm" and uneven fan blade rotation. Orderd and installed new motor and all is good.

Realized Ice Maker was not getting water during it's cycle and suspected water valve based on other posts to this web site. My fridge is 9 years old and the tubes connecting the valve were plastic screw on type. The new valve did not have threads to accept the nuts. Turns out all I had to do was cut the nuts off and insert the water tubes into the valve which auto-locked the tubes to the valve. Ice maker now works great.

I removed the top hinge (3 screws), lifted the door up and off the bottom hinge, then removed/replaced the bottom hinge pieces (2 screws) while the door was laying on the floor. I set the door back on the bottom hinge and reinstalled the top hinge. It's very easy to align the door while tightening the top hinge. It took about 15 minutes. The popping stopped and the door works like new!

Pulled out the fridge from the wall, unplugged it, and turned off the water supply. Took off the cardboard backing at the bottom of the fridge. Cleaned the dust and gunk. Unscrewed the old valve. Unplugged the 3 electrical connections. Since the new fittings for the water lines were different, we unscrewed the old ones, lopped off the nipples, and inserted the ends of the water lines into the new connections (they were super easy - just push the line in until it clicks). Reattached the valve. Reattached the cardboard. Turned water back on, and plugged in the fridge. Our ice maker still didn't make cubes, though. So I took out the fill valve from the top rear of the fridge. It had a tiny piece of ice lodged in the bend of the back, right above where it connected to the water line. I rinsed it out, reinstalled, and now we have a full bucket of ice!!

problem still persists part did not fix problem. made repairs recommended per your site.

replaced ribon i have an enginers degree in electronics so it was pretty simple for me to just unplug the old cable and plug the new one in

The repair went exactly as illustrated by the video offered by part select. That video was helpful and showed me step by step how to accomplish the repair. The replacement part was exactly the same as the original, thank you part select.( Allow the old ice maker to return to room temperature before you remove the 1/4 nut securing the level mechanism, otherwise the frozen head of the not will break off).

I was able to take away the trim covering the parts with a nutdriver. The base was disconnected using a phillips head screwdriver. The only real issue was how to disconnect the plastic water lines from the old base and connect them to the new one. I finally realized I just had to cut the lines where they entered the filter base because they would not pull out. I then finally understood that to install them into the new base I just had to push them in securely. The lines were long enough to do this but probably would not be long enough to install another filter base. In that event I do not know what all would have to be done. The leak had been going on for years (it only leaked when water was running to the ice machine or water dispenser). It is great having it repaired and we hope to get quite a few more years out of this old fridge.

Followed the video instructions posted below the product. Its a tight area to work in but it can be done. It did not immediately start making ice. I waited and waited.... 3 hrs 4 hrs still not filling up or making ice. Finally I decided to pour some water in the tray and see if it would freeze ice and dump it. It did and immediately started to fill up on its own after that! Its been working perfectly ever since! So dont be alarmed if yours doesnt work immediately and try pouring some water in it if yours doesnt being working within several hrs. I am happy I was able to do this myself and save repair man costs. Its just not work the cost they charge for older appliances.
