10659562990 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

I removed the 3 screws but also removed the front screw of the left bin rail. This gave more room to maneuver I/M into position. The cover shown with the enclosed instructions does not show an Ice Plus (blower assy.). By removing the two mounting clips fron old unit and snapping on new one blower unit fits as original. Overall a very simple and quick repair. Note: None of the cables Inclosed were used as my harness does not unplug from wall. Thanks for the quick service PartsSelect.

I checked to see if the compressor was running and it was not. I check the defrost fan and the compressor fan and they both were running. All lights were on inside the refrigerator. I then checked the compressor connection and using the multimeter I check for voltage on the two wires going to the compressor and I had 120VAC on the terminals. I then removed the start relay off the compressor as well as the overload relay. I then check the OHMS reading on the compressor terminals and I had good readings. I shook the relay and it was rattling. At this point I search on the internet for the start relay and ordered the parts. Received the part in two working days. Replaced the components and bingo everything started working. It took me more time to troubleshoot the problem than it took to replace the parts. Vernon

I shut the unit off for about ten hours and when I turned it back on and set the temperatures for the freezer and refrigerator it has been working great.I will keep the part in case it happens again.

Easy and amazed at how fast my order was processed. I received the parts next day. Wow!

watched the installation video twice and took my time to make sure all parts were put back together in the right order

Moved fridge out from wall, unplugged power cord. Laid on floor, removed 6 screws from cover. Removed one threaded bolt to allow assembly to slide out. Removed special nut, and took fan off. Removed 3 motor mounting bolts. Unscrewed 2 wire nuts, and untwisted wires. (option 1, no ground) Vacuumed entire area around motor. Used 3 bolts to mount motor to holder assembly, and special nut to install fan. Stripped wires back about 3/4 inch. Twisted two wires together CW, and installed new wire nuts. Slid motor assembly back into slot,(keep wires away from blades) and used one threaded bolt to secure assembly. Reinstalled cover plate with 6 screws. Plugged power cord in to test air flow (out through cover vents). Moved fridge back into place. The loud whirring noise did not stop for a day; then quiet!
