25326432102 Kenmore Freezer - Instructions

Replaced fan. I ordered the fan and received it the following.(-:

Found voltage coming into unit but not making it through the control unit. Thermo switch could easly be bypassed with no results so only thing left was the control mod. It was worth the $51.00 guess , ordered the part with credit card about noon, the next day Fed Ex came to the door about 2 PM the freezer was running by 2:30. Very impressed by everyone envolved. Spent the rest of the day bragging about my repair ability. Felt good to hear that baby fire up. Thanks again

Unplugged freezer from electrical socket. Removed lower trays from freezer. Removed sound proof stripping from sides of back panel. Removed upper, lower and side screws from back, lower panel using No. 2 phillips screwdriver. Disconnected motor wires from quick disconnect power supply. Removed motor bracket from freezer back using nut driver. Removed motor from bracket using same nut driver. Replaced motor and screws in bracket. reattached quick disconnect. Attached fan blade to motor making certain to push blade on shaft securely. Replaced bracket to freezer back. Replaced back cover. Replaced stripping. Plugged into power supply. Total time 15-20 minutes.

Watched video on Part Select which shows you how to replace the thermostat with several good pointers. Very easily done and now the freezer works great.

replaced control board and installed surge protector

Followed the sites instructions. Empty the bottom part of the freezer. Remove the screws. Move the panel out of the way. Easily remove the old part and replace with the new. Put the panel and screws back in place. The freezer works.

I paid about $50 for a tech to come to the house to troubleshoot the freezer. He id'd the temp control unit in about 30 minutes and told me he could repair the freezer for an additional $300 or so. I told him 'no'. I looked up the part number with partselect and ordered the temp control unit for about $40 including shipping. I simply plugged in the unit and reset the rear compartment panel and gaskets. I plugged the unit in. The freezer ran but did not freeze. I inspected the rear of the freezer and found that the tech had left the compressor unplugged. I connected the compressor and turned the freezer on, It is working just fine.

Pulled the freezer out and unscrewed the screws around door. Gasket slide right out. After placing the new gasket, I used a hair dryer and sealed the gasket tighter. Works like a charm!! Very pleased with this do-it-yourself fix.

I unscrewed the screws that held the old fan on, disconnected the wiring harness and removed the old fan. I pulled the blades off the motor and put it on the new fan. One thing of note, the screw holes on the new fan weren't threaded. I assume this is by design, so I used the screws to thread the holes before installing it in the freezer. Once I did this, the rest of the installation was easy, just screw it back in and connect the wiring harness.

inspected visible refrigeration lines for evidence of leaking, found nothing substantial that would cause concern, ordered capacitor and defrost thermostat simply because both are inexpensive parts and theoretically either could be causing the problem. Both parts were very simple to install especially since I am a semi-retired refrigeration man.

Remove the cover panel inside the freezer, remove and replace the fan motor (pull fan blades off old motor and push on the new one) and replace the cover.

Pulled freezer out from where located to allow shelves to be removed.Unplugged unit, removed shelves and evaporator cover, installed new fan motor. Plugged unit up to check fan motor operation. Reassembled unit, installed shelves and moved freezer back into original location.

Replaced freezer defrost thermostat. Unit worked perfectly.

I watched the videos (they really help) and followed the steps. Everything went smooth with no surprises

When i found out there was no thread in brace where bolts were supposed to screw in, I panicked. I thought I would have to send part back or go to a machine shop to make a thread. I called a friend for help and he told me the bolts would make the thread if I just screwed them in. Sure enough, the bolts made the thread and then I just proceeded to instal motor and put refrigerator back together. It was simple.
