WRF767SDEM00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Disconnect plug from wall. Insert putty knife between light switch.and trim panel , apply pressure to depress plastic spring holding switch in place. Apply a slight twist too putty knife releasing switch from trim piece. This wil expose plug connected to switch. Disconnect plug from switch. Connect new switch to plug. Insert switch into trim. Plug refrigerator into wall socket.

Popped out broken switch with blunt flat edged instrument. Disconnected switch from unit . Plugged new piece in and reinserted into side panel of refrigerator. Very easy.

I thought this was going to be much more difficult than it was. Take the bottom access door off (using a small socket - same size for all screws). Disconnect the plug to the motor. Unscrew the 4 screws holding the motor. Take the motor out. Unscrew the shaft screws on top (only 2) so you can manipulate it if need be up and down or spin it. Insert new motor and make sure shaft is seated correctly into the motor head. Screw motor back in. Screw shaft back in. Plug up motor. Screw bottom door back on. You are done. EASY!! Took me about 10-15 minutes to do. Much easier than most things.

Just plugged it in

Simply pulled out the old unit and installed new per instructions. I was going to order just the part that houses the auger and ice bucket. I was also going to purchase the lesser quality brands at deep discount but after ready the 'challenges' with all of that - spent the money and saved myself the headaches. (and scratched fingers) Easy peasy.

Once I got a part that wasn't broken in transit (took them sending it 3 times for that to happen), it was a breeze. Remove old drawer, take tracks off old drawer and place on new drawer. Put new drawer in fridge.

1. Call Parts Select to confirm I’m ordering correct part.
2. When FedEx finally delivered expedited shipping, laugh at what was sent.
3. Call Parts Select and ask them to send the part I ordered, not a dryer door.
4. Wait for replacement.
5. Call Parts Select and ask them to stop sending the same, wrong part and try sending a refrigerator part instead.
6. Wait again (now 2+ weeks).
7. Call Parts Select and ask how difficult is it to match the part ordered with what is sent. Ask a 3rd time for the correct part.
8. Wonder if it’s worth it while again waiting to see what Parts Select decides to send this time.

I used the video step by step. The video showed complete process to swap out the motor. It was very simple to do.

Popped out the old switch and replaced it with the one dying

Removed old door. Attached new door to two tabs. Done

Simply replaced the Ice Maker container

Simply placed on the front

The switch fix but did not fix the problem. I assumed the wires go on the same way as on the old switch. Is it possible if one light Burns out, the other will not work either?

I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.

Everything went as planned except the cold temperature (freezer door switch located inside freezer) made deflection of the switch locking tab difficult to remove. Letting the switch warm up was not an option.
