WRS6W1EW5 Westinghouse Refrigerator - Instructions

I followed the instructions provided in the Part Select video and replaced the bearing. The most time consuming part of the job was emptying (and then cleaning) the items stored in the bins inside the door shelves. Removing the broken bearing was a little more difficult because mine was old and broken and I didn't have an empty table to lay the door on like the video studio did--the floor worked in place of the table.

I removed the food on the door and placed it in the refrigerator. I placed a plastic sheet over the opening of the refrigerator to keep the cold air in. Then I removed the bracket for the upper hinge, remover the door and placed it onto a table. Then I removed the plastic bearing from the bottom of door. I then replaced it with the new bearing. Then I removed the lower bearing and its bracket from the refrigerator. At this point I had to modify the new lower bracket by removing the alignment tab with a dremel because there wasn’t any hole in the housing for it. Then I attached the new bracket and bearing. Replaced the door and upper hinge and the job was complete. It took only about a half an hour to finish.

I replaced the defrost timer,defrost thermostat,and run cap.as it turned out the compressor went bad. I dont know the model because but the time I got this review I replaced the refer with a knew one . two weeks living out of coolers was so much fun !!!!!!!!

Simple installation - just pop into place! We thought they were a bit overpriced, but we certainly can't complain about the service - EXCELLENT!

replaced hinge bearing and cam

The shelve bin tabs broke because they don't snap in properly so they get knocked out occasionally. They hit the floor and if what's in the door is heavy and lands on them they break. Snapping in a new one is not a problem, it's ordering/paying/shipping/waiting. They need re-designed so they fit more securely.

just pull out broken crisper, and push in new crisper drawer.

Remove broken shelf and install new shelf. And that's it

the parts where a perfect match and they snapped in place

Watched the tutorial and I would say it took longer to clean the condiments from the door and take the shelves out than the repair. The easiest repair in my life.

Called a repair man. He said it was a a sensor type valve at the bottom back of fridge and he would have to order. He never called us, so we went to website and ordered it. Replaced it. It WAS obviously burned out/dicolored. Bracket had to be redone, as it wasn't standard. Didn't work. Ordered new icemaker. Worked like a charm. Video for installing icemaker very helpful. He called a couple weeks later and we already had it fixed.

My warranty didn't cover these types of breaks, so I found this website (PartsSelect.com) (it was 1/2 the price of Frigidaire who said no one else made it). Make sure you get the right bin as the bottom two are the same ones. Anyway, it fit perfectly, was in great clean condition, and I haven't had any issues with it since. The shipping time was nominal. I'm in Virginia. I'd buy another part from them any day.

took longer to open the door than to install. Perfect replacement part

Went well overall. I really thought that you guys taking the time to create a very helpful video was awesome. Thanks for doing that! The only difficulty I had was that my old ice maker had the connection toward the front, while the new one was in the back. So I had to use the adapter and had so much extra wiring to bundle, and tie wrap, with little place to go with it that I got frustrated. Wish I just had the correct replacement wire to begin with. Nonetheless, we are stocked with a full bin of ice after about 3-4 days.

bins came == i put them in in less than five minutes. Best part is that if they break within a years time I will get newones at no cost to me. Susan M who I spoke to when ordering was wonderful, polite, pleasant, helpful and from American -- what else could you ask for
