WRS26MF5AWB Westinghouse Refrigerator - Instructions

I replaced the condenser fan motor, but first I bought a brush to clean the coils. I first unplugged the fridge and took off the back panel. I located the fan motor and noticed how dusty it was back there. All the dust dirt and pet hair can accumulate making the motor work harder and overheat. I cleaned the coils with the coil brush and a shop vac. Once I cleaned it, I started to take off the three screws that held the fan motor suspended,its important that you move the fridge enough so you have adequate room to work. I unplugged the motor and finished removing the screws. When I removed the motor I was upset when I compared it to the motor I was sent because it looked physically different. The motor I removed had a plug that was integrated in the motor, but the one I received had a plug that pigtailed outside the motor. I called PartSelect and told them they sent me the wrong motor. The lady that I spoke with was very friendly and helpful, and after looking up my part # she assured me that it was the right part. Next I had to remove the fan from my old motor, the nut that held the fan on looked like a clip, but it screwed off using open pliers.I removed the fan and put it on the other motor, using the parts supplied. Before I installed the motor I screwed the three screws in and out of the three screws holes to make the screws go in easier during instalation. I installed the fan motor using the three screws supplied, and once it was secure I spun the fan with my finger, making sure the fan spun freely and installed the plug to the fan. I then plugged in the fridge to make sure the fan was working,and replaced the back panel. Hope this helps you out, good luck.

I was unsure how I was going to be able to make this repair. However, it was so easy I have planned to order other items to make the repairs myself. I am a rental manager at a condominium complex and I think my homeowners will be very happy when they see how much money we can save them by our office doing the repairs.

I removed the cover on the door to access the levers that dispensed the water and ice. I was able to pull the assembly out far enough to remove the damaged part and install the new one. It was fairly easy because i have small hands and did not need to pull the assembly out too far. Otherwise it went fairly smooth and was done in no time. The fact that I am a woman had no bearing other than the small hands part. My husband could not have changed the part for that reason. The ease in changing the part saved us quite a bit of money by not having to call a repairman. the only authorized repairman is about 40 miles away and with mileage plus installation it would have cost a fortune and being on a fixed income ease of part installation is great for us older people. thanks for great product.

Removed the drawer rails from the shelf, installed the new ones. Viola!

Replaced all broken pieces quickly for very cheap! Website very easy to use!!!

Followed video instruction provided on this site.

Snap off and snap on! Totally amazed, purchased on line at 8pm and they came the "next" day around 1 pm and shipping was only 7 bucks part select is awesome!!!

Installed the ribbon on the face plate first and then to the main part of the door. This prevented the wires within the ribbon not to be broken. then put the cover on and screwed it in.

The two screws that held the ice maker in place could not be seen do to there location. I could only get one hand inside do to space restriction.So I placed a mirror inside so I could see the screw heads and from point it was very easy to see and line up the nut driver on the screw heads. I then lifted it up and unplugged the wiring and installed the new ice maker. Works like a charm. Paul

1st a changed the defrost stat. Waist of time. Realized there was no evaporator above fan. Noticed ice was builing up behind ice maker near fill tube. Found if I shut off ice maker ice wasnt building up on fan. Moved fridge out unplugged fridge unscrewed plastic nut. Turned 90 degrees. Replaced tube locked in place . Screwed nut back on . Plugged in and turned ice maker on. Wife happy ice was back on and no noise.

Removed the right door. Removed three bolts that hold on the door on. Once removed, I removed the bushing with a screw driver and popped the new one in. Replaced the door and no more noise. Fixed the problem. I also watched a you tube video before I started.

This was probably the easiest repair I have done on this refrigerator. I pulled the unit away from the wall, turned off the water, and disconnected the hose. I have a wooden floor in my kitchen so I was careful to put a towel under the hose and valve. Very little water drained out but I kept the towel there for insurance. After removing the access panel, I removed the two screws holding the valve in place, slid it back to where I could unplug the wiring connected to it. The connectors are color coded so there is no worry about putting them back incorrectly. The new valve uses push-in type water connections, so you have to cut the old style connections off of the plastic water lines. Kitchen shears did this easily. Then is was just a matter of pushing each line into the proper connector on the valve, reattach the electrical connectors, and slide the valve back in place. Reinstall the screws, reinstall the access panel, hook up the water hose, slide the unit back into it's niche, and run about a gallon of water through the dispenser and you are done.
