Laid the three seals in the sun for an hour and then took and stuck each seal, one at a time, to the door of an adjacent freezer and used the hot air gun to straighten the seals which were bent due to the packaging.

with the freezer working I knew the compressor was working. I confirmed that the actuator door in the refrigerator was working but no air was blowing out. The hardest part was removing all the freezer drawer components and the ice maker so I could remove the panel in the back covering the evaporator motor. A quick resistance check of the motor confirmed no continuity in the motor. Take your time so that you dont break any of the snap in pieces. The motor I received did not look like the one I was replacing, but in fit in place and bolted right in. They provided an adapter wire to connect the wiring. All in all it was a fairly easy job. The video I followed was very helpful.

bulbs were not burnt out. received the new switch in a few days. watch the short video, was good to see how it comes out. used a putty knife to release the defective switch, removed wires put them on the new one and posed the new switch back in. Not bad Part cost $11.00 7 dollars shipping so for 17 bucks it works great. nice to see what is inside the refer!

followthe instructions in the book that came with the refrigerator

I’ve replaced one Whirlpool ice maker in the past (about 15 years ago). It was a similar unit.
I looked at several videos about testing the ice maker, testing the water valve, and removing roll out shelves and freezer door ( the ice maker is in the bottom freezer unit. Getting down on the floor to remove the unit is the hardest part (69 years old/280 pounds).

I unplugged the refrigerator and turned off the water supply. I removed the two front screws on each side that secure the top roll out shelf. This allows the shelf to be freed from the brackets. I then released the clips holding the two rear rollers. The shelf slid right out.

I then loosened the four screws holding the freezer door to it’s mounting brackets. The door lifted right off.

I then was able to easily reach the ice maker mounting screws with a 1/4 inch nut driver…I used an additional three inch extension. I Loosened the top two screws and removed the bottom screw entirely. The unit was lifted off the freezer wall. The wiring harness has a quick connection that releases in order to disconnect. I separated this modular connection.

I plugged the replacement wiring harness into the harness in the freezer unit. I then reversed all steps. After plugging the refrigerator in, I shunted the two contacts (shown in video)on the ice maker to make sure the water valve was still working. Water flowed into the ice maker. Finished. Started producing ice in about six hours.

A younger, more limber person may be able to complete the replacement without removing the shelving and door.

I called my nephew and begged him to come install the new ice maker. It came will everything needed. I cleaned the freezer out and washed everything down and that took longer than Jonathan replacing the ice maker. Super easy. I had him watch the repair video and it took him about 15 minutes.

I noticed the coils very dusty dirty, tried brushing it clean, ended up blowing it clean. I noticed the condenser fan motor was never turning, I had power, so I ordered a new one. I actual received the evaporator motor, so I had to order the correct one. After changing it, and it started blowing right away. But my refrigerator is still warm. I do not know where the evaporator blower motor is located. I cannot make out from the diagram breakdown. HELP

Eased the putty knife under the edge of the switch housing and pried it off. Pulled two wires off the old terminals and hooked them onto the new one and reinstalled into the refrigerator body.

We looked up the problem online with the model number of the refrigerator. We ordered the part and followed the video installation that was sent with the order and was found online prior to purchasing

Opened up the door that covered the filter, unscrewed it and put the new one in and closed the door back up.

replaced ice and water filter

After disconnecting the electricity. I followed the instructions as indicated in the "HOW TO" article on the website. I used a steel putty knife and pried the light switch out of its retaining hole. I worked the right side the most since this is the side with the retaining clip. After I removed the switch I transferred the two electrical outlets to the new switch and easily snapped it into place. Engaged the electric power and tested the switch.
