NT2139 (3G60A) Admiral Refrigerator - Instructions

took replacement knob & threaded it back onto post. Done in literally seconds ! ! ! Took longer to open the package than to install new knob.!

I unscrewed the broken plastic piece that was there and replaced it with the new part. Just turned it clockwise with my hand until it stopped.
The counterpart of the new knob is now metal (yeah!!) so perhaps I will not ever need to replace this knob again on my 21 year old Kenmore clothes washing machine.

I looked up the part description on PartSelect. I did not find a match by Kenmore model number (I guess it is really old), so I searched by type of part (knob) and other parameters such as size. There were still a couple of hundred hits, but the very first page had the most relevant match, and the excellent graphics made it easy to see the part I wanted. I was a bit concerned that the original part was white plastic, whereas the replacement was black metal, but I went ahead and ordered anyway. I was a bit put off by the prce i.e. a simple knob costing $20+ is a bit of a rip off, but unfortunately, there is no alternative to find an exact replacement part (the alternative is to buy a new washer for $1000+).

Once I ordered, everything went very smoothly. The part arrived very prompty (I ordered on a Sat, and part arrived on Wed) and it took less than 5 minutes to unpack it and twist it on the washer. And now it works great! I am glad it is metal so won't break off (even though aesthetically, it is not as pretty, being black on a white washer).

Overall, excellent experience at PartSelect. They have a great selection of parts, detailed descriptions/graphics/reviews and excellent service.

Ordered the leveling bolts, very fast shipping, parts correct as shown. Purchased a condo by the shore, frige had no levelers, they went in smoothly & was done in no time.

removed back cover, removed fan motor and replaced with new one. connected new power wires. worked right away

Order the part from the Internet on Sunday, it mailed out on Monday and I received it on Tuesday. I unplugged the fan then undone 3 screws that held the fan bracket to the refrigerator pulled it out unscrewed 3 more nuts and replaced the fan on the bracket and I cut the old wire plug off the old fan and with 2 wire nuts put it on my new fan. Replaced the fan and bracket back on the refrigerator plugged it in and it works like a new refrigerator.

Pop off six mounting screws and the ground screw. Remove the fan blade and reattach. Reinstall. Save yourself big bucks.

I looked up the part number--within two days the new part came by FED-EX. I simply screwed the new part in place and BINGO--- saved a service call and washer is working fine.

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.

simply screwed the new timer knob (which was metal instead of plastic, thank goodness) on the screw left when the knob broke. Easiest and cheapest repair I have ever made, and saved me from buying a new washer.

removed broken part of knob from timer shaft then screwed on new timer knob on to timer shaft

It was as easy as 1,2,3! I just had to screw the new knob on and it works like new.

Very simple to do. I unscrewed the piece of plastic left on the screw threads. Then screwed the new knob on. No tools required. I like the fact that the knob has a new design. It is metal not plastic. Voila, did it myself.
Unfortunately, there was no more excuse not to do the laundry!!!!!

Simply screwed the New Knob on existing threaded screw.

All I had to do was to screw timer knob back on threaded spindle. It took less than a minute to put it on. Easy! Thanks so much for easy find on your website. A HAPPY CUSTOMER FOR LIFE! Will keep all my old appliances! B. Paul
