unplug power! Remove the screws from lower panel on back of refrigerator. Lift wire mount out of back panel. Capacitor is mounted directly to the relay and overload switch located on the left side of the compressor. Remove the spring clip holding the capacitor in place and pull the old capacitor out. Plug in new capacitor and replace spring clip. Use vacuum to remove dust from drip pan and wipe fan blades clean. Replace wire into slot on back panel and replace screws. Remove front coil cover below freezer door. vacuum dust off coils and replace cover. Plug refrigerator in and enjoy cold beverages. Relay and overload kit were not required for this repair.

I unplugged the refrigerator(for safety). Using a 1/4" nut driver I removed 1 screw holding ice tray rack. I then removed the 2 screws holding the lower shroud inside the freezer section. I then removed 1 screw holding cover plate where ice maker would be and disconnected the ground wire from the back panel. I then removed the 2 screws holding the back panel in place. This allowed me to removed back panel from from inside the freezer. I removed the fan blades from evaporator motor by pulling straight away from motor. I was then able to disconnect the power wires and the ground wire from evaporator motor. Using the 1/4" nut driver I removed the 2 screws holding the front motor bracket and removed the evaporator motor from its bracket housing. Using the an electrical cord that i had fashioned with two female spade connectors on each lead of the wire, i connected these to the motor and plugged the male end of the electrical cord into a standard 110v outlet to verify that the motor was in fact the defective component. The motor did not operate so I replaced the evaporator motor with a new motor and put everything back in reverse order. The refrigerator is running like a champ and keeping the refrigerator contents a cool 42 degrees. Thanks PartSelect.com

It would have been nice to know which booklet to read and why send to water valves,with out saying something about an extra vavle. After checking holes to see which valve to use the rest of the installation went fine. Most of the time was figureing which set on instructions were for our refrigeator

Replaced the fill valve on the back of refrigerator took about 15 min. We had that night

Thanks to some reviews we found online about replacing gaskets, ours went very smoothly. One person said to soak the gasket in hot water, which we did til it was very soft. Installed like a breeze. Then, the same person said to tape the door closed after installation, we did that too. The gasket looks like it was professionally installed and we have never done it before. Thanks!

took a voltage check to ensure had 120vac to the motor and did. Ordered new evap fan motor, installed, refrig works as good as ever now. Thanks for your website.

removed the old unit and put in the the new one, no other parts were needed

I followed instructions, both supplied with gasket, and some I found on-line. Pretty easy - loosen screws holding existing gasket, remove existing gasket, install new one, tighten screws. [TIP - I didn't soak new gasket in hot water before installing - definitely do this to get rid of the "wrinkles" caused by shipping. Throw it in a tub, and let it soak.] The problems I had to iron out were AFTER I installed new gasket. Door alignment shifted, so I loosened all gasket screws, realigned, and then tightened. Then door was not closing (it had dropped for some reason at the handle side), so I had to loosen hinge bolts, push up door, and re-tighten. I had to do this 3 times before door closed right. I also had to heat two sections of the new gasket with blow dryer to smooth gasket. After about two days, the gasket was sealing perfectly. No condensation in fridge, no leaking out bottom. I estimate by putting in a $100 gasket, I saved over $1,500 because my wife was ready to get brand new fridge. Good luck, and be patient if door needs to be realigned. Also - gasket may still have small gaps even after you install and heat it - give it a few days to conform to fridge before trying heat again.

be sure the power cable is NOT plugged into an electrical outlet - removed the cover on the bottom rear of the refrigerator - using a flat blade screw driver pry the cover off the side of the compressor - remove the old relay - remove the wires from the old relay and install them on the new relay in the same location - install the new relay on the compressor connections - snap the cover back on the compressor - replace the cover - power the refrigerator on - the compressor should start and run normally

tested that water got to inlet valve, but not past it. the rod inside the pump was separated from the plunger. i ordered part. i was quite impressed that i got part within two days. replaced valve. ice maker works.

I found the evapoator iced over and the evaporator fan not working . I tested for voltage on the fan circuits ,found them to be good .ordered the part i needed and repaired the fridge . in the meantime until i recieved my part i put a small fan in the freezer to keep the evaporator form icing over so my food would not spoil .

took the fridge door off, took off old part that didn't work, replaced with new metal door stop (small part). Perfect-o problem solved with a $5 part! Customer Service here was AWESOME! THANK YOU! WILL SHOP HERE AGAIN.

I followed the instructions in the video on the PartSelect website. The only problem I ran into was that I couldn't switch the grounding tab connector from the original side of the motor to the other. I had to add more wire so that I could reach it in its new location.

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.
