25331649102 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

I found the part on PartSelect.com, ordered it, received it, and installed it in less than 3 days. Thank you PartSelect.com! I wish everything was this easy.

measured lenght of parts looked at parts available and matched the size and use together slip broken part off door replaced with newpart. reinstall retainer to to door no tools needed.

I snapped out the broken piece of the old Door Shelf Retainer Bar End Cap, snapped in the new one and reinstalled the door rack in my refrigerator.

Your sight and excellent photos made selecting the correct part fast and easy. I received the part with 2 days in perfect condition and my repair was completed in out 2 minutes!

I would definitely order from this site again.

Removed the broken piece and snapped in the new piece bought from PartSelect. Later connected the bar between the left end cap and right end cap. All done in few minutes. The new piece fitted well into the location with no issues.

Thanks PartSelect

First I had to remove the popsicle sticks and glue that had been semi-repairing the bracket for 1+ years. Then I popped it back together. Too easy.

Slip the endcap off the door--- no tools required for that. Use flat end of screwdriver to loosen the bracket holding the door bar into the endcap. The bar slides right out, is easily replaced, and the endcap slips right back on to the door.

The retainer bar was missing from a refrigerator in our rental property. A tenant had broken it and thrown it out. I found the model # on the appliance and looked up the parts diagram on the PartsSelect website and found what I needed. I placed the order one day and had the parts 2 days later! Unpacking was the hardest part. The parts just snapped together to make up the complete retainer unit. Then I just fit the unit onto the formed clips on the door shelf. I'd cosider this a " simple" job.

Snapped the new parts in.. and good as new!

Received 3 parts. Snapped them together. Attached them to fridge door.

I installed new end caps brackets with bars by putting them in place. Now the refrigerator looks new again. These parts were installed in the door, which was broken/missing. This prevented a person from being able to store anything in the refrigerstor door until it was fixed.

These were easy pop in pieces so no tools were needed. Very easy and quick. What I liked best about PartSelect.com was the pictures and labeling used in order to select the correct part. That was my biggest concern. It only took me about 15 minutes to find and buy the parts I needed.

Removed old fan motor and installed new one.Not much room for big hands back there.Flexible extensions valuable on this job.

The website said 60% of people with same refrigerator problem solved the problem with a new fan kit. I received the fan kit within 3 days of ordering. Was shipped from Fresno, CA to Long Beach, WA. The fan kit was to be installed behind rear panel in the freezer compartment. When I removed the old fan motor, I noticed the shaft turned harder than the new fan motor, suggesting a problem with the old fan motor. I plugged in the obvious fan motor power bundle with no problem. The instructions and diagram with the kit nearly steered me wrong. Instructions, diagram and splices with the kit instructed to cut the "extra" wire bundle and splice "similar" wires (should have said same color wires). Luckily, I ignored those instructions when I remembered the U-Tube video depicted the extra wire bundle was to be inserted into a factory penetration in the back panel, facing the freezer compartment. This power bundle is for adding an ice maker, which my refrigerator did not have. When reassembled and the refrigerator restarted, I could immediately feel forced air in the refrig, where there was no flow before fixing. I observed that all the refrig and freezer dials do is act like a valve to increase or decrease air flow to the compartments. The dials have no mechanical or electrical connections, just designed to divert air flow from across the cold 'evaporator' fins. I recommend other consumers to remember carefully what they see in the video and watch again if stumped during the job. The video was better than the instructions which may have been written in China or India. I am happy. Repair was a lot cheaper than a new refrigerator and I would not have bought another Frigidaire. Thanks to this website. r. andersen

My unit was not defrosting. Defrost heater was not functioning. Defrost heater tested good with a meter. Thermostat (cold) tested bad with a meter. Defrost timer was working properly. I replaced the thermostat but I had to buy red crimp connectors because the blue ones that came with the thermostat are designed for wire bigger than 18 AWG wire. The thermostat leads as well as the wire in my unit were 18 AWG. The crimp was not tight enough for my liking with the blue butt connectors. I also purchased smaller heat shrink tubing. After replacement, the defrost heater started working. I could see it glowing. Unfortunately immediately after getting the heater working the contacts in the defrost timer arced and stuck together thus preventing the timer from exiting defrost mode. The heater went off at this point indicating that the thermostat was now working. I then purchased and replaced the defrost timer and now the fridge is functioning properly. I noticed both replacement parts, even though I looked up my fridge model, were different part numbers than the originals. I'm guessing the new parts are improved? I also noticed the timer was an 8/30 rather than a 10/30 like the original. The fridge is working better than when it was new so evidently defrosting every 8 as opposed to every 10 hours is better for my unit.

Long story short:

Buy the correct crimp/butt connectors before beginning replacement of the thermostat and proactively replace the defrost timer since it is rather inexpensive.
