WRS26MF5AQ1 Westinghouse Refrigerator - Instructions

Replaced

The repair was very easy, just a matter of snapping the bin on the door. However, i was very please and impressed with the expeditious service that i received. I ordered the door around noon and it was delivered by 10am the next day. This is what i consider "quality service" and I thank this company sincerely.

Took out two screws, installed new parts, put screws back in. Done.

Removed the door,pried out broken pieces.Replaced with new bearing{bushing}Lubricated bearing with light grease and replaced door.Took about 15 minutes by myself.

I can fix just about anything, but when I'm approaching to fix an item that I have previously no experience with I always do some research before attempting a repair. Once I diagnosed the problem (The evaporator fan was not kicking on), I purchased both the thermostat and fan because either one of them could be the source as to why the refrigerator was not working. Unless you want to drink room temperature milk for three to four more days, I highly recommend that you replace both. After cleaning out the freezer and removing the pull out bucket, I removed the screws and pulled out the metal enclosure. The fan was easy to take out along with the thermostat. The time consuming part of the repair was splicing the old wiring harness with the new thermostat and condenser fan since the replacement condenser fan had a different wiring harness. I had to heat sink the butt splice connectors and I wrapped all the wires in a cold weather electric tape. After that I plugged the refrigerator right in and to my delight it worked :) I love this website because it is very user friendly accompanied with fast and efficient shipping. Thanks again!

Installed new valve.There are several pieces of tubing coming off of the valve. Pay close attention to where they go. Color coordination is poor on the new valve.

Very easy repair. Remove 2 screws, unplug wire harness. My model used the included harness adapter. I needed to secure the extra harness length with the included cable ties. Icemaker went back in smoothly with no problems. Making ice like crazy now.

I watched your video on how to do the procedure and followed it, step-by-step. It worked like a charm. When I took the crisper drawer and runner out of the refrigerator, I noticed that the lower drawer support had broken as well. So, I have ordered 4 to have a few on hand and will repeat the process when my new order arrives. I'm very pleased! Thank you very much.

(1) Pull out drip tray. (2) Remove three screws holding in front panel. Pull out panel. (3) Unplug wiring harness and lay front panel aside. (4) Remove three screws holding in a long, narrow circuit board. (5) Unplug wiring harness at left end of board. (6) Pull unit forward so you can see the ice actuator. Loosen (do not remove) screws holding small metal plates where ice actuator pivots. Move left plate (single screw) out of way and remove actuator. (7) Insert new actuator. Be careful that gear on right side meshes with gear on black rubber door that holds ice in. (8) Reverse process to reinstall parts.

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 .

Part Select's website is really user friendly and has all the info you need to determine which item you actually want. I ordered on Friday afternoon and received the part on Saturday without having to pay rush shipping. Wow! Now that's service!

bought new icemaker

Just popped the bin onto the door. Super easy. What's even better is that I ordered it late afternoon and had it the next day. Super fast service! I will do all my business here in the future.

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.
