EV150NXAW00 Whirlpool Freezer - Instructions

followed the video as instructed. Saved two repairman calls, one to find the problem, one to install. Net savings was about $130.00

1)pry out the old/defective light rocker switch with a screw driver (flat head) and pull out the cables 2)unplug two connectors at the end of light rocker switch 3) connect new light rocker into two connectors 4)push the wires inside and put back new light rocker switch

I did exactly as the video showed. I popped out the old switch, disconnected the two terminals, connected the new switch and put it back. The light now works! The refrigerator is over 25 years old and the switch works! What a great website this is. Couldn't of done the job without Partselect's help.

First i unplugged the power. I changed the thermostat first. With a nut driver i removed the 14 screws and slid off the back panel inside the freezer compartment. I removed the old thermostat by unclipping it and disconnected the two wires it came with. I clipped in the new thermostat and reconnected the two wires. I slid the panel back on and put the screws back on. This took less than 10 minutes. It is so easy. My seven year old son can do this. I then proceeded to change the defrost timer. I have a built in so i removed the wood panel on top of the fridge to expose the timer. The timer was a bit hard to get to because its inside a metal housing on built ins. I removed as many screws on the front part of the housing until i was able to squeeze in my hand. I removed the two screws that attach it to the box and then unplugged it and slid it out. It was really stuck so i used a screw driver to loosen it from the plug. I plugged in the new on and screwed everything back in. It took about 20 minutes. If its not a built in refrigerator, it will take 5 minutes. I plugged the refrigerator back in and everything is perfectly cool and cold. It is really simple and cheap to change these parts. Don't get suckered into expensive repair bills.

Since the defrost timer turns the cooling functions on and off for each defrost cycle if seemed the most likely problem. That was confirmed by manually advancing the timer with a screw driver and the cooling functions would resume and run until the next defrost cycle (every 8 hours or so). The repair itself was to swap out the timer which took five minutes with a #2 phillips screw driver and a 1/4" nut driver. Once the timer was removed from the cover plate there's a simple plug-in connector to remove from the old and plug into the new timer. Two machine screws hold the timer in place behind the cover plate. Be sure switch the power off on the compressor cabinet before removing the cover plate.

I wasnt about to call Mr Appliance of Bayport NY the last time I called him I got a bill for $72.00 and he told me I needed a new frig. So I paid him then the next day I went to parts select and fixed it myself for about $50.00 But this time it was my Moms frig and the frig side (fresh food side) wasnt getting cold So again I went to parts select and put in a bimetel thermostat and it works perfect now. Im sure I saved a lot of $ and thanks to parts select, They helped me diagnose the problem and make the repair step by step! EASY! Thanks parts select...Garry from long island NY

I watched the video and thought "I can do this". Made some notes and then proceeded to remove the old switch and replace with the new one. Thank you.

I have never before seen a bulb with the filament intact not light. If the bulb's filament seems intact, screw the bulb into a known working lamp and see if it lights. When screwing it back into the socket in the fridge, it takes a bit of extra effort to fully seat (until it does, it won't light!). For replacing the switch, I unplugged the unit, used a paint scraper and worked it under the switch bezel from the right side. A bit of moxie, and the switch came out. The replacement switch had a different spade contact spacing than the original. I used a pair of scissors to cut the rubber bridge between the two switch wire connectors so I could connect to the new switch. In the end, it turned out to be the bulb. NOTE: The Model TC18KL is _not_ listed! What I finally found that the number "P7803211WL" on the sticker is actually a manufacturing code. Found this out by searching, and Sears' part search came up with matches.

Removed correct part from those provided and slipped it into position. No tools necessary.

Replaced air baffle between sections - part number PS321610. This part is quick connect with no wiring required. Start by turning off appliance using thermostat dial on freezer side. Remove cover for air baffle in upper left rear corner of refrigerator compartment. Remove wire harness cover between air baffle assembly and front upper control panel of refrigerator. Remove screw covers from under upper front control panel in refrigerator. May need to pry them off with a butter knife or thin screwdriver. Pull off thermostat dial. Unscrew mounting screws to remove upper front control panel cover. Pull out old air baffle assembly but do not unplug wire harness. Slide new air baffle assembly into position. Following the old part's wire harness, run wire harness for new part to point where old wire harness connects. Match up the old and new wire harness connections, unplug the old wire harness and plug in the new wire harness making sure the wires for the old and new correspond. Remove the old part and wire harness and secure the new part wire harness in the wire harness track. Reinstall the front control panel cover and thermostat dial and the screw hole covers. Reinstall the wire harness cover. Reinstall the baffle door cover. Turn the appliance on. You have now saved yourself a few hundred dollars in labor costs!

disconnected el. power to fridge. pried out broken switch with small screwdriner and pulled out w/water pump pliers. installed new switch and pressed into opening.

I tried to just replace the cover rather than the whole unit but it was impossible - the cover would not go/stay on. I tried to remove the old unit completely but it would not unplug it was practically fused to the back of the fridge and the liner was cracking. I ended up breaking the cover and jerry rigging it over the bulb to prevent items in the fridge from being able to touch. Bad solution.

I had ordered some other parts for something entirely different off your website and service was great. So after almost ten years of a dark refrigerator, because of a defective switch, I decided to see if you had the part to fix it... You did and the part got here in 3 days. I had a working light switch and all the light in the world where my husband needed it most (in the fridge). It took me at the most ten minutes to replace the part. All is well now and I have a happy husband who can find the leftovers just fine. Thanks for your great service!

We tried repairing with a new switch which was very easy to install but it didn't fix the problem.

This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.
