Side by Side Freezer/Refrigerator - Refrigerator not cooling
While waiting for parts I removed the control and side panels, placed duct tape partly over the hole to the freezer to allow fridge cooling and left the panels lay inside plugged up while I monitored the fridge temp. This worked until the parts arrived.
1. Remove 3 hex screws holding (underneath) the front control panel to the top of the fridge. 2. Remove 2 screws holding the left side assembly. The control panel and the side assembly come down as 1 L shaped piece. 3. Unplug the large control cable and the small cable then remove the entire assembly. Note the position of the freezer sensor extending into the freezer. Separate the control panel from the side assembly to access the cable bundle. 4. Remove and replace the Damper Control Assembly. Note: You can remove the complete old styrofoam (glued in place) or cut the tape holding a 2 part styrofoam section that holds the damper in place and only replace the upper part. Be sure to tape the 2 styrofoam parts back together. Make sure the freezer sensor is placed properly on the Damper assy. 5. Remove and replace the old thermistor assembly, secure the wiring bundle and reattach the control panel to the side panel. 6. Place the entire assembly back inside, plug up the cables. 7. While supporting both panels insert the freezer sensor in the proper position and replace the 3 screws securing the control panel then the 2 screws securing the side panel. Check that the side panel is flush against the side after installation. 8 Wait about 12 hours for the temperature to stabilize.
The drum ice maker broke in half so it couldn't dependent the ice.
I had removed the housing that the drum was in and taken the screws out to get to the broken drum. I removed it there was a set of 6 blades that crushed the ice that had to go back on the same order when I removed these I put them on a piece of wire in the order they came off (so I would get them back I the correct order). Then I reversed the order and reassembled it in the opposite direction . It was fairly easy to do. I'm a 68 year old disabled woman so if I could do it I'm sure you could to. Good luck. It cost me $14.00 if I had bought the whole assembly it would have been $150.00. So it was well worth my time and effort.
We followed the video instructions and it went fairly smooth. After turning off the water at the street we found that the faucet at the wall had it's own "on/off" valve. When finished, we turned on the power and heard the gears going through their revolutions, but no ice was made. We waited 24 hours and still no ice. I removed the cover on the ice maker and adjusted the amount of water to see if that was malfunctioning. Still no ice was created. Waited another 24 hours - nothing. Waited another 24 hours (the site said that sometimes the ice maker would take time to reset itself) - nothing. Then on the fourth day after changing out the triple water valve we heard water being dispensed and later that day it put out the first ice in weeks. Another hour later another batch of ice cubes were ready and deposited into the bin. Since that time, we have had a full bin. I moved the set screw back to it's original setting because a little too much water was being delivered. The cubes weren't separating to individual cubes. That cleared up the problem. This was easily completed - we recommend others do their own work. Just be patient for the system to reset itself.
Ordered new water filter. It arrived, I opened it and took out the old one and put in the new one. I worked perfectly as soon as I realized I had to remove the protective caps.
This is the second time I've had to replace the crisper cover, so I had that step mastered. As before, I took the glass from broken crisper cover and dropped it into new cover in seconds. Had to use a screwdriver to pry old crisper supports from the walls of the fridge. This was the only hassle. Popped new supports in, replaced crisper covers, and slid crisper drawers back into place. From now on, I'll have to be more careful about how much weight I put into crispers.
1. Removed exposed screws 2. Removed face plate 3. Disconected wire from switches on face plate 4. Removed screws holding ice/water dispenser 5. Removed screws holding actuator in place 6. Removed wireconnection on actuator (lighted) 7. Replaced broken actuator w/new 8. Replaced all parts in reverse order of removal 9. $300 service call costs me $75 and and 30 minutes of my time. I will always try to fix appliances with the help of PartSelect before calling for service. Thank you!!
The basket hanger is plastic and the rack tips of the basket hanger are even more delicate. Replaced basmet hanger no problem. They were expensive i.e. $70.
Unscrew 4 screws . Remove broken basket hangers. Install new basketo hangers. Screw in 4 retaining screws...
Consult the exploded view of the Ice Container on this site. A likely cause the end plate (17) is worn. This plate connects the rotating corkscrew to the final plastic worm that pushes the ice into the crusher and thence to your waiting glass. The worm alone will not do the trick. To replace this plate, you need to take out all of the screws you can see, including the one that holds the spring for the crusher select bar.. First, the front cover, then the plate, and finally, locking ring from the worm and the black housing for the crusher. Now you can remove the whole worm assembly. Using a cloth or rubber insulator to protect it, unscrew the end screw and slide off the crusher teeth. Store on the table as a unit to facilitate re-assembly. Slide off the old bar and worm, put them back, and re-assemble. Takes a little dexterity to get the crusher select bar back, but not hard. Easy job.
Took the ice storage bin out. Took the unit apart,and disamble the augar unit. Ordered parts from manufacture, which arrived in two days. As soon as I got the parts, I reassambled it. Work perfect. Good job!
Water Was Dripping From Base And I Had No Ice Being Made Or Water In The Door.
Removed the plastic water tubes cover with a nut driver. Disconnected water hoses. Dropped control box assembly with nut driver. Removed old filter base with phillips screwdriver. Assembly opposite.
Removed screws holding unit and removed unit. Removed switch from connectors in unit. Replaced unit without switch. On day switch arrived (delivery was prompt) my wife replaced switch by attaching the two connectors and slipping into unit without having to remove entire unit. How easy was that!!!
