WRS26MF5AW9 Westinghouse Refrigerator - Instructions

The part was perfect. Did it on a Saturday night is about 3 minutes. Wa the total fix.

Removed old filter...put in new...ran water for three minutes before drinking. Easiest repair/replacement job ever!!!

put in a new one

It snapped in place.

Loved the website. Easily found the part I needed. Filter received in two business days. Wow, really fast service. Replacing water filter was a piece of cake. Pulled out old filter, removed caps from new one and slid it into place. Will certainly look to this company for parts in the future.

I had a repair man do the work.
That's always best.There was one day delivery on the part and the price was great. Thanks

I noted this repair as easy and it is if you know what you are doing. I read the repair stories on line and thought I would give it a whirl. I ordered the part on line and in my haste I didn't even consider that I would need to order by color. I have a black appliance. To my dismay when the part came it was white. While waiting for the part I had attempted to find the small screws that would allow me to get to the repair site as described in the sucessful repair stories. There was no screws visible. The water pan on my model does not come out and there didn't seem to be any way to get to the actuator without prying off the ice and water portion of the frig. I was afraid to take a screwdriver to my frig as I didn't want to scratch it up . I decided to just call a repair man. He came with the black actuator. I returned the white actuator. The repair took about 15 min. He popped off the front which I was afraid to try and took out the three tiny screws and replaced the part. The total charge was $167.00. $75.00 of the charge was for diagnosis even thought I told that no diagnosis was needed. Part cost was $19.99 and th rest was labor.

Removed cover from top bracket with phillips sd. removed bracket with socket wrench; lifted door from hinge; removed remnants of old hinge from recess, this took a while because it had broken inside, eventually I used needle nose pliers to break it up and pull it out in three parts; installed new bearing hinge; reset door, and installed bracket and cover.

Easy!

I used the paint spatula to pry out the old part and then put in the new part and pushed in the holder with my fingers. Super easy.

Changing the water filter was extremely easy.

Replacing the water actuator required a little patients but was a relative easy fix aslo.

Good luck.

I had seen technician remove cover for warranty repair. If I had not I would have been in trouble... I removed tray exposing screws, removed screws and lifted off cover. I then pulled off connector to circuit board. I removed the three screws holding the broken dispenser part and removed it. The reverse was easy. The hinge cover was easy since I had learned to slide it forward FIRST (that's when I broke it). The shelf supports were tricky. The old ones would not come out. I sawed them off with a serrated knife and then picked the pieces out. Installing the new ones wasn't going well until I realized that I had to hammer the pegs in. Then they went right in.

Slipped off the top and bottom screw cover plates unscrewed the 4 retaining Phillips screws, removed the old handle and replaced it by reverse the procedure. The best part of the process was the amazing quick delivery and efficiency of Parts Select.

ordered the part, watched the video....it was a snap

1. Turned off water and unplugged refridgerator. 2. Removed the drip tray. 3. Removed the 3 screws under drip tray. 4. Pulled facing off the fridge. 5. removed the 3 screws at top of dispenser. 6. Pulled the dispenser out far enough to remove broken actuator. 7. Removed 2 screws holding broken actuator in place. 8. Removed broken actuator and replaced with new actuator. Re-attached everything in reverse. Be aware that there are two serial numbers on the labels inside the refridgerator. The one with the letters at the end tells the color of the refridgerator. I had to return and reorder. The company emailed me the instructions and that went well too.

just pushed into the ice filter slot
