25331642100 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

When my side by side Kenmore refrigerator quit keeping the top half of my freezer and refrigerator cold I called Sears to see how much it would cost to get it checked out and fixed. Bottom line it was going to cost minimum $65 (which was just for him to come out) to $250 on up depending on what the problem was. So i decided to "do it myself"! I took it apart and within a few minutes figured out that it was my evaporator fan. So I went to sears to order the part based on the part number and with shipping and handling it was going to cost $125. While at sears I got on one of their computers and quickly looked up Kenmore parts and partselect.com came up and I quickly found the part for $62 and I chose overnight delivery and spent a total of like $83. When my part arrived I realized that the wiring/plug ins didn't quite match up. So I got online and went to their website and found a video for "do it yourself'ers" like me on how to splice the wiring to make it match. It took me about 20 min to splice the wire and put my refrigerator back together and IT WORKED! Easy easy easy and I saved moocho bucks! Ill never pay a repairman again. Oh and by the way, I am blond! :-)

Ordered whole new retainer assembly. New bar was incorrect part, but endcaps were OK, so got old part out of the garbage and straightened damaged areas, used new endcaps, and reinstqalled on door. Works.

We cleaned all the parts we had and did a quick survey of which pieces needed to be replaced. We ordered the parts and they arrived within 48 hours. I snapped the pieces together and put all the shelving back together. I do have one difficult spot where the tab inside the door that the shelving attaches too was also ripped. I filled the spot with super glue and let it set for a day and finished installing the last shelf in a few seconds. The Best News...No more ketchup or juice bottles falling to the floor everytime you open the door!!

All three shelved had been broken for years. I finally broke down and bought the parts, and I can't believe I waited so long. The retainers are very easy to install. The bars take some time to measure, and cut, but once that is done, it is very easy to assemble the parts, and get back to having usable shelves.

per the video..easy installation....unfortunately the temperature did not improve. We still have a refrigerator temp in the upper freezer.....and a "cooler" in the refrigerator section

Exactly as the video showed, except I had to take the evap coil cover off and use a hair dryer to thaw it out. It was still frosting up too much, so I ordered the thermostat as well. Both were really easy, once i saw the location of the defrost timer and the thermostat. Thanks for the great site, prices that put the big store to shame, and the good video too!

Refrigerator and freezer was not cooling sufficiently due to an inoperative evaporator cooling fan. Replacing the mini evaporator fan was extremely easy. Here are the steps needed to replace the fan. Step 1: Unplug refrigerator/freezer main power cord from the electric wall outlet. Step 2: Remove the food rack from the freezer compartment. Step 3: Using a 1/4" nut driver, remove the (2) 1/4" screws that hold the freezer vent panel/temperature control in place. Step 4: After removing the screws, disconnect the motor's wire harness connector which is located on the top left corner behind the freezer's vent panel/temperature control. Step 5: Pull away the entire vent panel/temperature control panel and lay it flat on a table. Step 6: Remove the vent cover from the main panel by holding the left side and the right side of the vent cover and squeeze both ends at the same time. Step 7: With the motor now being visible pull the motor's fan blade straight off. Step 8: Using the 1/4" nut driver, remove the (2) screws that hold the motor bracket to the rear of the main panel. Step 9: Using the 1/4" nut driver remove the (2) screws that hold the motor to the bracket and the (1) ground wire screw. Step 10: Install new motor back onto the bracket with the original (2) screws and the (1) ground wire screw onto the same locations.Step 11: Re install the (2) screws that mount the fan bracket to the back of the main vent panel.Step 12: Push the motor's original fan blade back on the shaft until it's fully seated. Step 12: Snap back in place the small vent panel back onto the main panel. Step 13: Push in place until you hear a click, the motor's wiring harness connector back onto the top left corner of the freezer's main power wire harness connector. Step 13: Push the main vent panel until it's in place and then reinstall with the original (2) 1/4" screws. Step 14: Reinstall the freezer's food rack back in place. Step 15: Plug in the main power cord into the wall outlet. Get ready to enjoy ice cold drinking water and a super cold freezer. Pete,your weekend mechanic

Went on line to PartSelect, found and ordered the part. It was here in two days. I removed the old shelf, inserted the new and the frig was as good as new. I was extremely pleased with the ease in identifying the part and the speed of delivery.

Slipped the end caps on the bar and reinstalled in refrigerator. Took less thsn 2 minutes.

There is a local appliance parts store that charges high prices but one can return parts. I ordered 3 things and they got ONE correct. I thought I can do better than this. I went on line and found PART SELECT which provides very good schematics so I could order my own parts with confidence. I got a lll the correct parts, quicker and at a very good price. II have a lot of apartments so this is IMPORTANT to me. PARTSELECT is now my GO To for appliance repairs

my wife did it when I was gone !!!!!!!!!

Replaced end cap. Very easy fix. Only took a couple of minutes.

snapped the wires from frig onto the proper prong and viola,it works. The proper prong is identified by the size because there are two prongs with the wires and two connecting prongs in the socket. I talked to a very helpful representative and she gave me the number for Frigidaire, when I was confused by the placement of the wire. Wish I had remembered her name to share with you. As it turned out I didn't need to call Frigidaire.

I used a screwdriver to open up the slot to be able to press out broken piece of old Bar end and slipped in new part and crimped bar down tight again no problem at all simple job

Ordered part attached part to bar and installed on door.
