WRT18A0AW0 Westinghouse Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed the lower trim panel from front of fridg. and loosened two screws enough to turn it about 1/4 inch so the screw heads were in the larger holes. Pulled it out disconnected the wire connector and transfered the heat shield and screws to the new clock, connected the wire connector and aligned the screws. tightened them and job done. Has worked like new sense. Thanks Roger

unplug fridge,Then take rack out n remove the 2 screws on the icemaker set aside,then remove 2 screws on the back panel, cut wires n splice in new part! put back the same.

Diagnosis: used wiring diagram attached to frig and determined cause could be wiring, heater element, thermostat or timer. After completely defrosting the frig (turned it off) I removed the rear cover in the freezer and looked for an obvious problem. None seen. Removed temperature select pod from the frig box and looked for obvious problems. None seen but defrost timer appeared poorly made. Repair: Since I had no practical way of checking the defrost cycle in operation, I checked probable failures on the Part Select website and saw defrost timer as most probable. I ordered the timer. Installed it. Waited a few days to make sure the frig went through a few defrost cycles then removed the freezer rear cover. There was no excessive frost buildup so I'm reasonably sure the repair was successful.

Slipped the end caps on the bar and reinstalled in refrigerator. Took less thsn 2 minutes.

Used wood blocks to raise the door off the lower hinge bracket then unscrewed the suspect hinge. Cut a small shim, two layers of soda can, to place under the lower edge of the new hinge bracket and doubled the washers by using the old one to ensure I had adequate clearance for the door. After a little silicone lube I installed the new hinge bracket. All better now.

I first thought the defroster heater broke - took the back wall of the freezer off and cooling fins were fine. Then took the defroster timer out and opened it up. The contacts were badly burnt so the compressor and fan ran during only part of the cooling cycle. Replacing the timer took less than 5 minutes - turn off the power, remove one screw to take out the control box, cut the ground wire (new timer housing is plastic and does not have a ground connection), remove two screws to unmount the timer, unplug the old timer, plug in the new timer, fasten with two screws, put the control unit in and fasten with one screw, turn power back on.

I ordered a new door gasket and defrost timer ,which this site recommended. The parts came in two days time (y) excellent !! I watched the video for the timer on the parts list and the replacement was so easy. By the way im a woman lol ,anyone can do this and the new gasket took like 5 mins . Im keeping my fingers crossed this eliminates my top glass flood problem. This site is wonderful thank you carol

Looked up troubleshooting info on your web site. Decided to replace the defrost timer. Ordered it using Paypal. Received the Shipment in about 1.5 days in Rural NC. Watched Your Video, cut off power to the fridge, removed the top self and unbolted the panel, removed the defective defrost timer, installed the new one and re-installed the panel and top shelf. Set the timer to defrost to check the operation (looked inside the freezer to see that the defroster was glowing red - it was) waited about twenty minutes to ensure that the fridge started cooling again. Fixed!

Instructions from partselect were very clear and probable cause made it easy to narrow things down. I have the manual for the refrigerator that shows the location of the defrost timer. Very surprised that it turned out to be a cheap and easy fix.

Ordered whole new retainer assembly. New bar was incorrect part, but endcaps were OK, so got old part out of the garbage and straightened damaged areas, used new endcaps, and reinstqalled on door. Works.

We cleaned all the parts we had and did a quick survey of which pieces needed to be replaced. We ordered the parts and they arrived within 48 hours. I snapped the pieces together and put all the shelving back together. I do have one difficult spot where the tab inside the door that the shelving attaches too was also ripped. I filled the spot with super glue and let it set for a day and finished installing the last shelf in a few seconds. The Best News...No more ketchup or juice bottles falling to the floor everytime you open the door!!

my wife did it when I was gone !!!!!!!!!
