All Installation Instructions for Whirlpool Air Conditioner ACE254XJ1

The cooling selector switch stopped working

First removed the power and front panel. Then in order to get to the damaged cooling selector switch, I needed to first drill out three riviets holding the small front pannel that the switch and thermostat selector switches are mounted on.

Then it was a simple matter to unscrew two small screws holding the broken cooling selector switch in place.

At this point, I unhooked each wire (about 7 of them) from their terminal connector on the back of the switch, and reapplied each to the new switch. After I was done I then mounted the new switch with the two screws and realigned the pannel.

The only thing remaining was to install the small pannel using three pop rivets and slide on a new knob, and reinstall the large A/C front cover.

FYI, The new replacement switch and knob were perfectly identical, and worked like a charm.

Needed new Ice Maker

Removed back cover, and installed the water valve. Removed the water supply tube cover and installed the supply tube. Opened freezer and removed the electrical cover, removed the knockouts and pulled line out. Hooked up ice maker and installed it to wall. Turned water on and waited a couple hours, it is making ice. Installing the ice maker was easy. Running water line to it........well that is another story. LOL.

Both motor clips broken - >40 year old dryer!!

Removed the back - Saw the broken clips on the base of the dryer (the wires to the motor were pulling out because the motor was slipping).

Guessed that the parts were motor clips (no pix in the web site!)

Got the parts in post - they were identical except needed some rubber grips inside to hold tight (Used pieces of bike tire inner tube cut to fit for this.) Attached clips. Works fine!!

(Son is an engineer - he found the problem. Husband is a retired doctor - he couldn't!! but together they
supplied the muscle)
