I recommend completing steps 1-3 before purchasing your part, so as to avoid my mistakes.

1) Unplug the freezer and clear whatever is currently in the door. This fix is fast enough you don't need to empty the whole freezer.

2) Use a socket wrench to remove the two bolts holding the top hinge to the freezer. Once they're off, the hinge can pulled up and off.

3) Lift the door free from the bottom hinge. Important Note! Check that it's the door closing cam that's broken, and not, for example, the bearing that seats with the door cam that is listed on the freezer part of the schematic, and not the door part. If you're a smarty pants, you order(ed) the right part. If you're me, you continue with this tutorial but still need to order another part to complete the fix. Don't be like me.

4) Using your philips-head screwdriver, remove the screw holding the remnants of the old door cam to the bottom of the door. Pull out the old cam and insert the new one. Rescrew.

5) Grab your extra person put of your toolbox and have them help you guide the door back onto the bottom hinge. The door is not heavy but no one wants to play blind Battleship while your freezer contents actively defrost.

6) Stick the top hinge back into place and reattach the bolts.

7) PLUG YOUR FREEZER BACK IN! And also check that the door works now.

No repair. The key fit!

Took off cover, unplugged wires, removed old motor, mounted new motor, remounted new motor and replaced cover.

Now need a new control board for same model.

1st Turn off power. Removed freezer racks. Removed access panel to bottom back of freezer. Disconnect the wire harness to fan motor. Use 5/16 nut driver for removing fan motor from support. Removed fan blade from motor and put fan blade on the new fan motor. Bought new fan blades, but new fan blade would not work on new motor. Spring mount would fit on new fan blades, so I use the old one. Installed everything in reverse. Put everything back. Place thermometer in freezer. Freezer cooled down to -10F in 10 minutes. Great save on this one because I bought this freezer off of Facebook marketplace. Saved me $250. Good thing I know about fixing refrigeration equipment. Easy day.

Brought replacement key works just like original I thought it would be metal from reviews but it was plastic and still works perfectly

It's easy to know how to use a key. I didn't have a difficult part, I didn't have the model # because I had lost my key and the model # is inside. I was able to find the energy saving paper that came with it but it had four model #'s. I called a couple places and no could me. I pulled up Part Select on line and just thought I would give them a try. I got a very nice person (Jeremy) He went thru every model that I had and three out of the four matched so he sent me a key and if it didn't work I could get my money back. I give him a A+ four taking that extra step, unlike the other places. Very satisfied!

Oh yea thanx to partselect it went great didnt get fisrtkey but when got the second key it worked great thanx partselect

i only ordered 1, so i replaced each 1 then moved to the next. still no light, so it must be someting else. will try to check the wires with a volt meter to see if i have power next. something wierd happen, when i accidently touch the back of the led board, it lit up, small but still light up. hoping that means the led board is goo, must be in the wiring. i saw it had a main led board so will check the power to that.

take 1/4 hex screws out clean out dust ,remove old fan blade replace with new install bolts .

Unplugged freezer from electrical socket. Removed lower trays from freezer. Removed sound proof stripping from sides of back panel. Removed upper, lower and side screws from back, lower panel using No. 2 phillips screwdriver. Disconnected motor wires from quick disconnect power supply. Removed motor bracket from freezer back using nut driver. Removed motor from bracket using same nut driver. Replaced motor and screws in bracket. reattached quick disconnect. Attached fan blade to motor making certain to push blade on shaft securely. Replaced bracket to freezer back. Replaced back cover. Replaced stripping. Plugged into power supply. Total time 15-20 minutes.

I unscrewed the screws that held the old fan on, disconnected the wiring harness and removed the old fan. I pulled the blades off the motor and put it on the new fan. One thing of note, the screw holes on the new fan weren't threaded. I assume this is by design, so I used the screws to thread the holes before installing it in the freezer. Once I did this, the rest of the installation was easy, just screw it back in and connect the wiring harness.

Remove the cover panel inside the freezer, remove and replace the fan motor (pull fan blades off old motor and push on the new one) and replace the cover.

Replaced fan. I ordered the fan and received it the following.(-:

The evaporator fan would make a very high-pitched whine/squealing noise usually after starting up after a defrost cycle, although, it would make the same noises during normal operation. After performing a thorough inspection of the fan blade and motor, I discovered that there was no interference to the rotating fan, and realized the motor must be failing. After removing the food and racks from the main body of the freezer, I had to remove 8 Philips-tipped screws that held the inside back panel cover on. I disconnected the fan motor from the main wiring harness, removed the fan mounting bracket (2 5/16" hex head screws), and then removed the fan motor from the mounting bracket (2 5/16" hex head bolts. I removed the fan blade and conducted a visual inspection, and found not blemishes of broken/damaged pieces. I mounted the new motor and used the existing fan blade, and replaced everything in the reverse order. I turned on the freezer and it has been operating perfectly since. I disassembled the old motor and discovered that the stator coils were worn, and the bearings allowed to much forward/aft motion.
