The old crisper pan cover cracked a year or so ago and I threw it away
I opened the refrigerator door, slid the new crisper tray in and I was "in business! You are awesome! The refrigerator is 31 years old and I gave up trying to find parts in Seattle and decided to check on the internet.Thank you. It was all so easy!
The Fresh Food Section Door Gasket of My VERY OLD Refrigerator was SHOT! SEARS messed me up for MONTHS!
I had wasted 5-6 weeks waiting for SEARS to send me the CORRECT Part. They kept sending the wrong part, telling me that the right one would be sent "THE NEXT WEEK" & Then finding out that the CORRECT ONE was on BACK ORDER with NO KNOWN DATE of shipment in Sight! So I looked up the part on the Internet. FOUND PartSelect & THEY found the CORRECT PART(That was on Saturday) with in 3 days... I had the PART! PLUS the Part arrived in GREAT SHAPE-NOT SO WITH SEARS which came with the packaging ALL TORE UP & THE GASKET was half out of the box and BADLY RUMPLED UP! PARTSELECT had very helpful instructions on their site & Over the Phone helped me do it in little or no time at all! I did remove the 2 screws at the bottom or the door-VERY EASY!!! atwhich time I saw that I also needed 2 nylon washers(I had several on hand!) Removing the whole door is not necessary, but in my case I FOUND the very worn washers & Was able to replace them too!... Now the door moves alot easier! PLUS: with the door off, I could do(replace the metal strips)on the Bottom & Inside gasket EASIER!... I WILL NEVER get partsfrom Sears again & ALL of my future Parts Purchases will be from PARTSELECT! I am VERY IMPRESSED & HIGHLY RECOMMEND PARTSELECT!
I started removing the switch by prying on the right side with a screwdriver, when it emerged enough I used pliers to finish removing it. I then unpluged rhe wires from the bad switch and pluged them on the new switch and "poped" it into the hole.
The crisper pan covers (which is also the bottom shelf) cracked and broke in several places.
First of all, I was very surprised and pleased that I could even locate the replacement part for such a refrigerator I've had for years. The two crisper pan covers arrived the next day (couldn't believe the fast delivery). I proceeded to take the broken crisper covers off and replace them with the two new ones, which fit perfectly. I then slid the crispers into the slots so they could slide in and out. It took me less than five minutes to do. No tools required.
Emptied freezes, turned off power, took floor of freezer out [4 screws ], took two screws out of fan mounts and replaces fan. Reassembled by reverse process. Simple
I removed the back of the refrigerator access panel disconnecte the 3 bolst holding the motor to the fan shroud assembly and removed the burned wires from the recepticle end at the wring harness. The fan motor comes with wire nuts but I chose to use the same style of connector as came with the OEM motor. I purchased the new connectors from NAPA and they are an exact fit. The new motor fit perfectly and has run flawlessly since the installation. It is in an awkward location and that takes time to get yourself into position but once there the assembly is very simple and it is rewarding to be able to use the appliance again. The ordering from the website and phone order are very easy to do and you have what you need in a timely and expeditious manner.
Noticed the fan was not working properly and went online and found out that was the cause. I immediately ordered the part that night at 8:21pm and received the motor and fan blade the next day. I flipped the refrigerator on its side and removed the 3 hex bolts, took off the fan blade first and removed the wires from the motor. I put in the new motor and then added on the new blade and put the 3 hex bolts back on and the wires. The whole process took about 30 minutes. Piece of cake.
switch wouldn't come out anymore and turn light on
Gently pry out switch in door jam with screwdriver and pull both connectors off and put connectors on new switch then push switch back into the hole. Looked it up on the internet and video showed how to and also had link to new part, ordered and less than a week later the fridge is bright again. I have an older freezer also and it seems that they all use the same switches. Very Very easy
Bad switch for door prevented interior light from coming on
Just as your video described, although due to the age of the fridge, it took a bit longer to remove the defective switch. Your video made this so simple, I can't imagine why we lived with a dark fridge for so long! I was ready to buy a whole new fridge, as repairmen are often nonexistent for small repairs. I am the biggest fan of your company & it's repair video. THANK YOU SO MUCH
