106964 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed the existing broken end cap, and replaced it with the new one. Installed shelf securely back in fridge. Easiest repair I've ever done. Less than 5 minutes. I wish everything were that easy.

The repair was easy. The amazing story was that I ordered the part around 12:00 noon on Friday December 21st and it arrived by USPS mail the next day Saturday December 22, right in the heat of the Christmas rush.

This website saved my marriage. For the past two years, every time we would open the fridge everything in the door shelves would fall all over the floor. This was not only embarassing when we would have family and friends over but I really got tired of my wife yelling every time she would open up the fridge. I tried every type of glue ... Read more and repairs to try and fix it, finally gave up and thought the only way I would find peace at home was to purchase a new fridge. I accidently stumbled across your website and before I knew it and about $6 later my life improved more than you can imagine. The best part was how easy it was to find the part I needed with the detailed pictures you have. The part was shipped fast and very easy to install. I will definately use partselect again. Thanks!

Because of the age of the unit, I replaced all but the wire harness. It was easy to repalce.

alined the new part and snapped it on.

A very cold and brittle switch in a 17 year old fridge. Used screwdrivers to pry out with some resistance Had to cut the molded plug in half and split wires, because replacement contacts were farther apart than the original. End result, works great.

Great service. Unpluged old switch and pluged in new one. Works great

removed retaining bar removed and replaced end cap and reinstalled retaining bar.

Figured out You have to pop off the cocer than remove the 1/4 hex head screws only not the philips ones

disconnected el. power to fridge. pried out broken switch with small screwdriner and pulled out w/water pump pliers. installed new switch and pressed into opening.

Used a screwdriver to pry loose the old switch, swapped wires to the new switch and pushed it into the opening. Took about 2 minutes.

Part was easy to order, delivered quickly, installation very easy. Just unplug the unit, pop out the old swich using a screwdriver, disconnect and reconnect leads and pop switch back in. Definitely recommend that you can do it too.

removed the 2 screws that held the panel in place, had to reach up and push on locking tabs to lower trhe front of the panel. was able to then push on the locking tab of the switch to release it. removed the wires, replaced them onto the new switch, and snapped the switch into place. the rest was reverse of the uninstall process.

Well the part and repair was so easy my wife did it and is very proud of herself
