EW26SS85KS2 Electrolux Refrigerator - Instructions

The gaskets aren’t really attached, they are just wedged into a small notch the goes around the entire door. So you can just pull the old one off with no tool. The new one arrived looking very bent and twisted but if you heat it with a hair dryer it goes back to its shape. When installing…You start in the corner and work your way around with a butter knife and hair dryer and it eventually sits into the notch. We watched a video on YouTube, it was easy to find a video and easy to do with two people and no tools or experience. Takes a few days for the gasket to feel fully settled into the notch

I followed the instructions, my ONLY issue was about the Part 46 the Ice Dispenser Actuator Rod. The front of the arm has flared out grooves and it didn't warn me about making sure the rod is properly aligned thru part 23 Front Plate or else when the ice maker actuates the rod it will not move properly if the grooves are not aligned on each side of the Front panel. I hope you can understand what I mean, if not just look at how the Part 46 rests in Part 23

I changed the defrost thermostat and the heater.

Remove ice drawer ,Removed front of drawer 4 screws ,Removed broken crusher 3 screws Ordered new parts reassembled replaced fix blade spacer that was broken and blade cover housing reattached front of drawer !

Called "local" repair warehouse and ordered part. They shipped the wrong part. Went on-line to Part Select and got the right part.

DID IT JUST LIKE THE VIDEO SHOWED. UNHOOKED ELECTRICS, CUT TUBING, HOOKED UP ELECTRICS THEN TUBES TO NEW PART. PIECE OF CAKE.

Consulted You Tube. Took off old gasket. Easy. Put on new one after getting it warm. The track on the new gasket did not sit properly. Took multiple attempts but finally worked. Size was perfect but the gasket color was different than original and therefore, different from the refrigerator door. No tools required.

Removed evaporator cover and dismounted evaporator coil. Threading in the new heater was difficult but not impossible.

Followed install instructions on utube. Once freezer was empty, back panel was easily removed, and defrost thermostat was in plain sight, and easy to replace. Hope that solved my problem. Refrigerator has been plugged in for four days now, and is cooling properly so far.

installed end piece onto the glass and placed it in the freezer at the known shelf location

Original unit had screw on lugs. After removing old unit, I unscrewed the lugs, cut the lines to remove the nuts and inserted them into the new unit. Everything was color coded so connection was simple. Reinstalled unit, cycled the ice maker several times only to discover the fill tube at in the freezer had frozen ice blocking the tray from getting water. Used a hair dryer to thaw out the tube, water flowed instantly. Very easy repair.

Just push the button on the top right hand and pull the filter out; then proceed to instal the new one pushing it in place. It's really an easy operation!!

The part i recieved, from parts select was a larger in circumfrence (<1/4) than the original. However i was not aware of this until after i treid to repair it.

I removed the broken fan from the condenser. This was very sipmle.

When i pluged the refridgerator back in to the outlet the fan tried to start up but soon began to make aloud noise, due to there not being enough clerance.
