Remove and replace light switch

Video makes it look easy. Kenmore refrigerator does not have "groove" along the right hand side of switch that allows for pushing down on release. Used a thin screwdriver to get under to push while holding switch edge with pliers. Kept slipping. Tape sides to avoid scratching inside of refrigerator.

I pulled the gasket off and installed the new one. It was very easy. All I had to do was to push the new gasket in place in the grooves in the door. The gasket I received was identical to the one I replaced.

Replaced Old Molded Gasket with new one
8 of 8 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Megan from Elk Grove, CA
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins

For the right side of the refrigerator door, just pulled off the old gasket and replaced it with the new one. Old gasket came off easily. Just had to pull it off. No screws on the right side. Just pushed the new one in place in the groove on the door.

For the left side, needed a Phillip’s screwdriver to remove the flap first. H elps to have a second person hold the door from moving. Once flap was off, pulled the old gasket off and installed the new one just like the right side. Then screwed the flap back on once the gasket was in the groove properly.

Initially after install, it seemed like the magnet on the door was not strong enough but after a couple of days, the magnet seems a lot stronger, sealing the air out. Very happy I replaced it. It was a lot simpler to replace than I thought it would be.

Broken Door Mullion Spring
17 of 36 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Maurice from SEATTLE, WA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
Had to buy the entire door mullion because the spring broke, wasn't happy. Got the new part very quickly and it was a new replacement part number. Somewhat tentative. Took it out of the box and looked it over. No spring! Groan! Thought I got the wrong part. Flipped the bottom hinge and it snapped open, no need for a spring! Two screws, di sconnect the wire harness, throw away the old, get new, connect the wire harness, connect hinges, put in two screws! Super easy. Watch the video for some pointers along the way.

Original gasket became deformed creating bad seal.
7 of 7 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Stanley from Armona, CA
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
Soak new gasket in hot water in bathtub to soften while removing old gasket. No tools required, it was a little difficult pulling old gasket out but once you get it started part way out it will come out real easy. By the time you get the old gasket out the new gasket will be warm and easy to get started into the groove it pops into. Start ing on back (hinged) side is of door, begin pushing new gasket into groove. Work up and down pushing gasket into place working towards the corners and around to the front side of door. Your all done. This is a job I went into a little nervous thinking I might be calling a service man out to fix, but it turned out to be really easy.

Error Code dH F
13 of 26 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Garthlette from COVINGTON, GA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers
The refrigerator had the above code and when I check on YouTube, it explained that the defrosting was not working properly. It was taking more than 80 minutes to defrost. I ordered the Temperature Sensor first and it was not the issue. I also ordered the Defrost Temperature fuse or the Thermistor. I had to defrost the refrigerator first by using a portable heater to get it done quickly. (See Youtube on how to get to the Defrosting Unit inside the freezer). The Thermistor was the wrong part. I called the Partselect and explained that the part with the heating element is one piece. (Heating Coil Thermistor or Heating Coil). By replacing that piece solved the Error Code issue. I listened to Youtube for the instructions on how to replace the Heater Coil. So if you see the Error Code dH F, you need to replace the Heating Coil, which comes in
one piece and sits on the bottom of the Defrost Element.

Door gaskets on French doors needed replacement.

Saved me $175.00 to $250.00 for an appliance repairman to come to my house for this. Absolutely simple to do. Pull gasket from right side door, no tabs or screws. Replace with new gasket, simply push new in by hand. Left side door needs two screws removed from’ flap. Now, gently bump the bottom of the flap to lift the flap up only three i nches or so. Remove the electrical connection tab under the metal plate that the two screws secured. Now, repeat what you did on the right side door. Simple!

Gaskets were deteriorating from use
6 of 6 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Rick from STAMFORD, NY
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
I started with the right door and just pulled the gasket off. I then made sure which gasket was for that door and aligned it with the old gasket to make sure of top and bottom. Then it just pushes in with your thumb. It took about 5 minutes. The left door is a little more complicated. First remove 2 screws that hold the mullion. Gently hi t the bottom of the mullion In an upward motion with the flat of your hand. The mullion comes loose and can just hang by the wires. Remove old gasket and install the new one. Reinstall the mullion and you are done. This one takes about ten minutes. DONE!!

Ice Maker Quit Making Ice
8 of 12 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Jeff from HUMBLE, TX
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
For this model the ice maker is very easy to replace. All it takes is a phillips head screwdriver. There are two wire connections you have to unplug. Easy out easy in. You do not have to disconnect the water line, just make sure the line is lined up correctly when you reinstall the new icemaker. It seems to take approximately 8 hours befo re you start getting ice again. If you have this same model, you already know this ice maker is very slow in making ice and is not able to keep up with daily usage of ice for a household of 3.
