Light switch wasn't working.. As I would close the door I would notice our frig light wasn't going off...
I simply removed the old switch by gently pulling down on the old switch with a screwdriver. When it was about half way out I just gently pulled down on the old switch and it popped out... I removed the two connectors attached to the old switch by pulling on the connectors with a pliers...I tried using my fingers but wasn't able to pull the connectors off so I used pliers. It worked perfectly.. When pulling off the old connectors, make sure you attach the new switch to the same tabs on the new switch... It was very easy to do and took under 5 mins.....The light switch works perfect....P.S. You should unplug the frig while making the connection just in case....Safety first....!!!
Determined that compressor was not running, after researching problem on another site they recommended i try the condenser moor fan or motor, the defrost thermostat or defrost timer. . I was not satisfied with their recommendations. If I had tried their recommendations i would have likely gotten frustrated and spent upwards of $3000 to replace the 22 year-old hand me down unit. Thank you Parts Select for properly diagnosing my relay failure saving me a ton of money.
Broken plastic part at top of water fill tube to freezer
Simple. 1st, removed broken part to understand part (water fill tube to freezer, plastic part at top of fill tube cracked). 2nd go on your web site and look at prints to find part number, Study video to understand video. 3rd. Called customer service and lady was very nice and efficient. Placed order and received. Study video again and installed. My 9 year old grandson was visiting from out of town and assisted in installation. Just over 30 minutes to install
Freezer worked but the refrigerator was not cooling
Toddler left the fridge door open for an undocumented amount of time. The freezer was operating perfectly but the refrigerator was not cooling. After some research I ordered the part needed and went to work. Process was simple, just keep track of the fans mounting bracket. I installed it upside down and the holes didn't align with the back wall freezer cover.
Step 1: Unplug the fridge Step 2: Gloves and safety goggles Step 3: Tools - Socket Set and screw drivers. Hammer and chisel for the ice build up. Step 4: Remove the back wall of the freezer carefully Step 5: Remove fan and motor housing, unplug Hot, Neutral and ground wire from motor Step 6: Drink a beverage Step 7: Remove fan and motor from housing. You will have to reuse the rubber gaskets/washers so do not dispose. Step 8: Install new motor and connect the hot, neutral and ground. Do not overtighten the screws connecting the motor housing to the mounting bracket. Step 9: Before mounting the bracket, plug in the fridge to confirm the fan is operating. Step 10: Put everything back and have another beverage.
The evaporator coil was fully coated with ice. When all the ice melted the 2 leads on the old defrost thermostat (which was defective -- the gel was protruding over the top of the thermostat) were cut and the old thermostat removed. The leads from the new thermostat (bought from PartSelect) were re-attached to the wires that were previously cut and the defrost thermostat snapped back onto the evaporator coil.
I first read the instruction manual then I watched the installation video. My water line to it was 3/8. Went to the local ACE Hardware to purchase a short peace of 1/4 copper tubing and the fittings to connect them together. It makes ice every 55 minutes.
New part was similar, except contact blade was for a full 1/4", my model utilizes 1/8". So I cut the blade in half with a hacksaw, filed off the rough edges and reassemblied the connector; attached it to the compressor Now being a retired electronic engineer; who's great idea was it to hide a klixon inside the connector?
The light rocker switch wasnt working. I found the part on the web site. It was so easy. I used a screw driver to pop out the old one and pop the new one in. It took 5 min. Thanks!!!
