143355110 Kenmore Range - Instructions

I purchased the part and put it in,

Initial problem was water not entering the icemaker. Replacing the valve assembly did not solve the problem. Further investigation revealed the inflow tube to he icemaker had frozen water in it. Cleaned the ice our and water flowed a bit but not enough to fill the tray. Still investigating the problem.

Unplug, turn off water supply, carefully remove lower back cardboard cover, unscrew old valve mount, lay towel down, disconnect the three water lines, modify provided “L” bracket by drilling a hole outboard of one of the slots to match/fit the wider original mount holes on the refrigerator’s bottom pan, screw top/short end of bracket to valve, cut back the two clear lines about 1/2” for a “fresh” end, connect all three lines, position valve and secure with original screws (access is tight, used small 1/4” wrench), turn on water/check for leaks, install back lower cardboard, plug in and verify function.

Watched instructional video, read all printed instructions and repair related posts
It's all there. Works great! Thank you!

The wire plugs on the replacement part were in different orientations and the tubing connections were push-in versus the original threaded compression type. The repair kit did come with numerous additional tubes and brackets, but there were no instructions for their use. The slots on what looked like a mounting bracket adapter were not on the same centers as my original mount so I could only use one of the mounting holes - which should be OK since it is not under a lot of load after installation. I cut 3/4" off each of the outlet hoses to get a fresh, round hose end and installed the appropriate metal hose supports in the hose ends before shoving them into the push-in fittings. The size differences in the small, sheet metal internal hose supports are subtle, so be sure to double check them before installation. Be sure to press the hoses in fully or you will have a mess on your hands when you turn on the water (ask me how I know). I had to do some small re-routing of the wires to connect to the new wire connector locations (the wires were long enough). The inlet water connection was the same as original (screw on compression). I had no issues with that. After installation I actuated door water several times to make sure the press-in fittings would not work loose. I also monitored ice machine to make sure no leaks after several actuations. The differences in the original and replacement part were a little intimidating at first, but it can be made to work. 4 weeks so far and no issues, Very happy that a replacement part was available for my 21 year old fridge.

Removed cover change mounting bracket on fan put it back in works great

I watched the video to get up the courage to try the repair myself. I figured out the refrigerator model umber and ordered the parts on line from Parts Select. Parts showed up in a few days. Pretty easy so far. Under close scrutiny of the wife, I unplugged the refrigerator. I used a nut driver on my cordless screw gun to remove the back cover and valve. I removed the plastic water lines and electrical connectors from the old valve and attached them to the new part. Everything matched perfectly. I replaced the valve and back cover. I pluged the refrigerator back in. It might have taken 20 minutes total. The wife has her icemaker back online and I'm a hero! Thanks Parts Select!

I basically followed the step-by-step instructions at the parts order website. I removed the shelves and rear panels to access the fan. I noted the color coding on the wires and terminals, removed the two retainer screws, removed the old fan from the mounting bracket, installed the new fan using the rubber anti-vibration mounts, pressed-on the fan to the center drive shaft and re-installed the assembly to the back wall. I simply replaced the rear panels and shelves and plugged in the fridge. The only issue I had was the distance needed to press on the fan blade to preclude fan noise, which I found by trial and error, before re-installing the panels.

Shut water off. Access rear area and removed water inlet line and leaving water and ice lines from old valve. Disconnected power wires from valve. Removed old valve and installed new valve. Reconnected all three water lines and checked for water leaks. Very easy

Replacement of the valve was pretty simple, after replacing the valve , ice maker still not making ice, after running the ice maker tests , using the test point, noticed the valve was working but no water to ice maker, the saddle valve was clogged, replaced saddle valve, now have lots of ice cubes. Also installed a water filter.

Unplugged freezer, removed lower shelving, removed panel covering the evaporator motor. Unpluged three wires connected to fan assem and removed. Did not install new wiring that came with kit but installed new motor/fan and reconnected existing wiring. Problem gone!

fridge is about 16 yrs old.....valve sedimented...it gets REGULAR condenser/underside cleanings....working perfectly...OEM valve, went on without modifications. PS...I am an HVAC technician, but it really isn't hard

Remove freezer shelves, panel, and change fan.

Removed the old outlet valve and installed the new outlet valve in less than 15 minutes. Thank You Part Select!

I repaired exactly the way it was explained by Partselect on youtube video. Pulled the fridge from the wall, turn off cold water supply, unscrewed the valve from side of the fridge, as I disconnected the power lines one at the time I inserted it on the new one and I disconnected the water tubing one at the time I inserted on the new valve so I would not get confuse later then I inserted the filter tubing that goes from the valve to the filter, then replaced the filter with a new one once there and the job was done. Nothing to it, in the past I hired a technician and charged me $395.00 ; $65.00 for consultation, $95.00 to installed it and $235.00 for the water inlet valve. Is that a rip-off of what? This time it only cost me $35.00 for the valve did it myself with youtube-partselect video. It was so helpful. Do your homework and don't let nobody steal you blind.
