All Installation Instructions for Whirlpool Refrigerator TT20BKXWN01

A bottle broke the glass bottom shelf.

The best part was that it took 2 minutes to order the part on the internet, and the part was delivered in three days. Earlier than expected. it was packaged very well amd I was able to transport it to the refrigerator in our vacation home with out hiring a repairman or additional delay.Thanks.

Ice maker motor excessive slip (essentially worn out) & contacts were worn

1 removed bottom off old ice maker (3 hex screws) and ice drop shield (white plastic ice flips over into ice holder, old unit had different drop angle, see how described below, but I just musled it off the old unit) 2 removed "ice sensing bar off new ice maker and rotated mechanical sensor to on (leatherman tiny flat head) 3 removed end cap from new ice maker, then loosened to large screws (Phillips, leatherman) for motor unit cover. This allowed removal of ice drop shield on new unit (two tabs, one at each end). 4 removed ice drop shield and installed old ice dropshield on new unit 5 tightened two endcap screws (Phillips/leatherman) and reinstalled end cap 6 installed old bottom unit/tray on new ice maker (3 screws) 7 ensured wiring matched and routed plug properly 8 installed unit slides in 9 plugged unit to existing plug 10 installed old wiring shield (1 hex screw). Waited two hours to verify water valve worked properly, although IR codes did indicate "okay". Machine has been making ice and IR sensor shuts it off properly. So far a success. I have many spare parts if I need to do further repairs including a new water solenoid. Only saying it was a bit difficult because of the parts exchange, in actuality for me it was really easy.

Fan was noisy - bearing had failed

It's self-explanatory. The procedure is obvious; it's just a little difficult. The only hard part is attaching the mounting brackets to the fan. If you can't tighten the mounting bolts, loosen them and reposition the brackets. You might end up mispositioning them at first, because they are hard to reach.

Refrigerator coils froze up and 5 weeks later it got stuck in defrost.

The parts were reasonably priced, shipped promptly and received in a couple of days. I reviewed a YouTube video before starting that was beneficial. Huge savings over retail repair service. A+ replacement parts house and I would highly recommend.

Ice buildup in freezer causing leaking water into fridge section

In my case the defrost thermostat was not the problem. Not worth going through the hassle of checking the thermostat as I would have had to cut it out and test it in another freezer (while the food that was in the freezer was being stored elsewhere). I just ended up buying it and replacing it. So, like I said the defrost thermostat was NOT the issue. I ended up getting a drain tube heater strap, and have been keeping my eye on the fridge. It hasn't been long enough to say the strap fixed the problem, but all indications are pointing to that being the case.

Refrigeration Door Handle End Cap cracked

The repair was REALLY SIMPLE. I popped off the cap cover from the existing end cap, insert the door handle to the new end cap, screw on the new end cap with a Phillips screw driver, and then push the old cap cover back on. Took less than 10 minutes, if that.

Cimpressor would not start

Checked compressor with amp meter, and found it was not running, found Overload Switch bad.
When removing old switch watch carefully which lug you move wires from, so you will know which
lug to put the new switch on.

BE SURE YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT
ELECTRICITY!!
