10650502990 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

The kit I recieved was perfect. All parts fit and where a perfect match. I will give you an A+ in handling my order and shocked by speed of your delivery.

My husband and I followed the instructional video on how to replace the "direct drive drum". We took note of how everything looked prior to dismantling the ice bin. We made sure we had the proper tools and a large flat surface to work on and started taking out the screws. Replaced the new drive drum part and put it all back together. The whole process took approximately 30 minutes and the ice crusher works great now. I'm a happy camper!!

I was surprised to find that the only part regulating the temperature in the refrigerator was a part called an "air diffuser". This consists of only an actuator that opens slots to let cold air come from the freezer. It is connected to a thermocouple. That's it, no fan, no motor, no other mechanical parts. So it was no surprise that, since the freezer was working well, the only solution as to why the refrigerator wasn't working (besides the doors sealing normally) would be to replace this part. You can use a mirror to "see" if the small door slits are actuating when the refrigerator is calling for "cold" from the freezer. The slits may look like they're not open all the way and believe me, if they aren't open ALL the way the fridge won't cool down properly. I took the old diffuser off and left the hole open and the fridge cooled down better even without all of the ductwork directing cool air to the fridge section. Then you know for sure it's the part to replace. Get a thermometer to check it out. It's fairly easy, but the freezer ductwork needs to be removed in addition to taking the covers off the installed diffuser. There are tabs on the diffuser going into the freezer that hold it in place, only accessible behind the freezer ductwork covers. It was a little difficult to push the new diffuser tabs into place, just push hard on each corner. And there's a small ductwork part that fits inside the diffuser on the freezer side, make a note of how it fits in the old diffuser when you disassemble it, it will fit back into the new one with a little wiggling. Other than finagling the ductwork and shelving out of the way it's quick and easy fix. The fridge works great again!

Unplugged it for a day listened to the ice melting on the inside and plug it in again. Decreased the temperature settings and it now seems to work fine. I will save the part in case I ever need it in the future.

On the left side I unscrewed the screw and replace it with a new one . The right side in had to take s file and file of the rivet. You can use a rivet gun or a metal screw to replaced the clip. Once it is finish open the refrigerator door to see how to line the kick plate into the clip. A piece of cake.

I watched the YouTube video on your website, performed the task as depicted in the video, and had absolutely no difficulty. The fellow in the video must be stronger than I am, so I used a pliers to twist out the old, and twist in the new. And while turning off the ice maker first was a good hint, he forgot to tell me not to turn the old filter upside down after removal because it is pretty much filled with water. I kind of think I'm pretty handy, but your site is really, really good for the average homeowner.

I watched the ice maker installation video and I installed the new ice maker with no problem and was done in less the 30 min. with everything. The ice maker is working great. thank you Fred

Ordered part over the phone and received it two days later.....excellent service

Door cams were worn out. Removed food from door. Removed top hinge cover and hinge. Lifted door off lower hinge pin and placed door on a table. Removed old door cam and installed new one. Replaced closing cam on lower hinge. Set door back on lower hinge and closed door (magnetic strips hold the door in place). Reinstalled top hinge and replaced cover.

I receved the new ice maker and the only problem I had was getting the old ice maker plug disconected from the frig.

I pulled the refrigerator away from the wall, unplugged the electrical cord, and turned off the water going to the refrigerator. I then removed the cover on the bottom rear of the refrigerator by removing 7 or 8 small screws. Luckily the new and old valves were exactly the same except for some color coding. There were 2 screws to remove that attached the valve to the body of the fridge. There were 3 plastic tubes that connected to the valve and 2 wiring harnesses that plugged in. Before removing them, make sure to note which tubes and wires went where. The 3 tubes on the old valve were the push in type, just like the new one. I could not pull 2 of them out like the instructions said. I had to pry them out with a screw driver. In doing so I warped about 1 inch on the end of each tube which I then cut off with a razor blade. The electrical connections pulled out easily. I then pushed each tube back into the new valve which was very easy and pushed the electrical connections in. I attached the valve to the fridge with the 2 screws, turned the water on, plugged in the electrical cord, and checked for leaks. I put the back cover on and was back in business. It took me about 40 minutes but when I was younger could have done in in half the time.
