6GD5SHGXSS08 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

There were two small round studs in each slide track missing from the originals. Since there were no corresponding holes in the metal shelf bracket on my fridge, I ground off the plastic studs with a Dremel tool and the tracks fit perfectly.

My door would self-close anymore due to worn door cams. To fix I removed the door by unbolting the upper hinge and lifting the door off the lower hinge. I pried the cams off the door and the lower hinge and pressed the new ones into place. Added a dab of grease and reinstalled the door. Closes like new.

1. Put pieces of wood under door to support it.
2. Unscrew three screws holding door hinge.
3. Disconnect water line.
4. Unscrew screw holding each cam. One to door and one to hinge.
5 Replace cams.
6. Retrieve plate with threaded holes behind frame that the hinge attaches to.
7. Use thin philips screwdriver through the hinge bracket, shim, frame and screw plate to align it for the other two screws.
8. Replace all three hinge screws.
9. Connect water line fitting.
10. Remove wood for door support.
11. Check door for smooth movement and strong pressure when closed.

removed door took out single bolt pried out cam put new one in returned bolt rehung door. 15 minutes

pulled old gasket out cleaned area where gasket was and lube edge of new gasket with vaseline starting at top slide gasket in then sides last was bottom which was hardest. 20 minutes

I changed the bulb but it still didn’t work. I ordered a bulb holder and replaced it and it works properly now. It was an easy repair, remove the bulb, gently pry the bulb holder out with a screwdriver and snap the new one in.

It was useful that under the description of the part in the catalog, it showed that this part was often used to repair this issue. The service was great and the delivery was fast.

Super easy fix. Inserted shelf in to the shelf frame. Attached frame to refrigerator mounting bracket . Done in less than 5 minutes.

First empty the shelves on the refrig. door. Then removed the upper hing cover and removed the three screws holding the hinge to the body of the refrigerator. Lifted the door off the bottom hinge and placed it clear of the unit.
Inspected the bottom hinge and cleaned off the screw holding the closing cam, then with a nutdriver removed the screw holding the cam and removed the cam from the hinge. Installed a new cam closer, secured the cam with a screw. Hanged the door back on the lower hinge and re-installed the upper hinge. Job Complete!

Well - I simply snapped the new shelf into place and vwah la - I have an extra shelf now in our very crowded freezer! Hurray!!!! Super easy.

Ordered and received parts. Removed drawer and shelf unit. Removed the glass from top of shelf. Each track(2) slides out of slots on each of the metal shelf brackets. Slid old tracks out of each shelf bracket. Had to use small screwdriver to push down plastic tab that locks track before it would slide all the way out. Each new track had a small tab on each end, which would not let them slide into the slots on the metal shelf brackets. Used a small saw (could also use a file) to remove the 2 tabs on each track. Slid the new tracks onto metal shelf brackets, reinstalled shelf unit, glass top and drawer. Took about 40 minutes.

First, I removed the 6 screws which hold the ice bin to the drum and the front cover. I then removed the screw which holds the door lever and bracket to the ice bin. Then I took the C clip and washer off the end of the auger to remove it from the housing. I removed the plastic nut to remove the auger drum from the auger shaft, being careful to place the blades on the table in the order they were removed. I then installed the new auger drum on the shaft and re-assembled everything in the reverse order. This was really easy for me because I had replaced the auger previously. (about 2 years ago)

After fabricating a new part to hold the spring rod in place, so the dispenser flap would close tightly in place. Every thing else to reassemble was very easy.

I just followed the excellent Video for both parts. The door gasket is tedious but doable, just take a deep breath and press on. Putty knife is handy to push edge of gasket under the plastic lip. The closer devices take 3 minutes - simple R&R. Check the videos - they're pretty clear and detailed.

Removed old filter and tried to install new filter according to instructions. Was unable to rotate new filter so I could not complete repair.

Just clicked it in place and was done in less than a minute. Thanks for the fast ship and right part.

Simply remove the cover over top hinge and remove the three outer screws (Do NOT remove the center screw). Lift the door off the lower pivot pin. Turn door upside down and replace the upper cam and then the lower cam on the pivot at the bottom of the refrigerator case. Reintall the door by setting the door on the lower pivot and then reinstall the top pivot and cover. VERY easy and what a difference. No more "POP".

The part came in two days!! It had a couple of little bumps that made it impossible to slide in, so I ground them down and had the entire project finished in less than five minutes.

When I ordered, I was confused about the "Left Side or Right Side statement - thinking I needed to specify so I wrote a short email to customer support asking about it. WIthin an hour, I had a reply.

The customer service and speed of delivery were the best ever!!!
