If your refrigerator light will not turn on, or stays on when the door is closed, you could have a faulty switch. The switch is spring-loaded and is a generally closed type of switch meaning there should be no continuity when the button is pushed, and continuity through the switch when it is no longer engaged. This plastic, white, OEM switch is sourced directly from the manufacturer, is sold individually and is easy to replace. The repair usually takes less than 15 minutes and requires a flat-blade screwdriver and needle-nose pliers.

Part #6749C-0014E
When a compressor cannot start, the refrigerator may hum, click, run only briefly, or remain too warm. A start relay with a heat-sensitive resistor controls current to the compressors starting circuit. The assembly may need replacement if its housing is cracked, scorched, loose, or rattles from broken material inside. These signs are helpful, but electrical tests and the appliance service information should guide the diagnosis. Verify the exact model before ordering because terminal layouts can vary. Disconnect power, allow the compressor area to cool, and discharge any capacitor if equipped and directed. Do not bend the compressor pins, and reinstall the protective cover before operation.

This part is a replacement light socket for your refrigerator. This model is white in color, and it has two sockets that will fit two separate light bulbs. The light socket connects to the power source, and the light bulb is screwed into it. If the light in your refrigerator is not working when you open the door, you could have a faulty socket. It is important to determine if the light bulbs are simply burned out, or if the socket is causing the issue. Be sure to disconnect your refrigerator from the power source before you begin this repair. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

This water tubing clip holds the water fill tube in place in your refrigerator. The water fill tube attaches and supplies water to the ice maker/water dispenser in your fridge-freezer. If the tubing is in working order, but is hanging loose inside the unit, the issue could be that the clip meant to hold it in place is broken. If this is the case, you should look to replace the clip. This clip is made of black plastic, and is just over half an inch long. This is a genuine OEM replacement part, and is sold separately.

Ice was building up in the bottom floor of the freezer

  • Ronald S. from SANTA CLARITA, CA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
This refrigerator/freezer problem had been escalating for almost a year, requiring me to frequently knock the ice buildup free with a rubber mallet. I finally decided to try to identify the problem by removing the freezer door and all of the shelves and shelf tracks (easily removed with only a phillips screwdriver). Then I removed the bac k plastic panel to expose the cooling coils, which were partially encased in ice. I deduced that the evaporator fan motor was failing, which blows air over the freezer cooling coils and forces the cool air up into the upper refrigerator section (which was not staying cold). I then found and ordered the fan motor from part select. Their search function and exploded drawing schematics made it easy to identify the part and part number. It seems the original part number had been superceded with a new number, which I ordered. Once it arrived after about a week, I transferred the fan blades from the old motor to the new fan motor, and after completely drying out the freezer compartment, I reinstalled all of the parts and plugged in the unit and waited. By the next day, the refrigerator was operating at peak efficiency, and the ice buildup in the freezer has not returned. I was very close to scrapping the entire refrigerator as junk, but with a little diagnostic effort and about $110 for the new motor, I have a fully functioning refrigerator again. Thanks to Part Select for a great experience.

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.
