61004753 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Pulled out ref. removed 3 screws holding the fiber covering. Removed one screw holding the water inlet, disconected the elecrical and the water line from supply and the tubing going to the water filter.
Then connected water lines and the electrical to new inlet, and attached the new inlet back with the one screw, reattached the fiber backing. All Done.

Note: ice cube tray did not fill immediately...air in water line??? However, after short time all works fine.

First I removed the 5 torx head screws that held on the outside panel. Then I unplugged the 2 electrical connectors to the circuit boards, one goes to the touch pad the other is the power. Then I removed the assembly. I only needed the part that holds on the round door but I replaced all the parts that came in the kit.
With the directions that they sent me with the parts, and since I was the one that took it apart. I was able to fix it in about 20minutes and it worked great.

followed the direction that came with the part. really easy. Thanks

It was not that hard. I am not totally inept, but also not a mechanice or techie. I have discovered that a lot of repair jobs have a video that shows you how to do things, and seeing it done makes a task doable for me.

I watched the repair video before I even ordered the part. That helped me determine if I felt I could make the repair. The video was extraordinarily helpful. Can't say enough about it. I even took off the dispenser door to see if I thought I could do it. The part arrived quickly, in just a couple of days. I only needed the door flap but it came with the solenoid which is not uncommon on ordering parts. (I couldn't even find the part on other web sites much less a video on how to repair.) I reviewed the video again. I removed the drip tray and door facing as instructed. When removing the mechanism I did get incur a slight electrical shock. I had not unplugged the refrig. Duh.. Got the mechanism out and inserted the door flap. The solenoid strike bar had come out and I had a slight problem getting that back in but referenced the video and no problem. Put in all back in place. Had to clean out the ice bin some because water had frozen in the bottom. Put it back in, plugged in the refrig and I am back in business! Terrific! The video was the key for me. It gave me confidence with very clear instructions. Bill

i removed the front cover of the dispensor, easily put the parts in and put back together , the first tome the flpapper came off as i did not secure properly but it only took a few minutes to resecure and now working fine .

The repair did not work. The new door strike did not embrace the solenoid.

I had the old spring, and it fit exactly. I also ordered a roll pin, but have no clue as what to do with it. Excellent directions came with the door strike, but nothing with the roll pin.

Was hoping the roll pin would connect the door strike to the solenoid, but did not see how that would work.

The repair was easy following the instructions provided with repai kit. pictures were a little blurry but other wise very helpful.

My part was received in only 3 days. It was exactly what I need. The directions sent with the ice door were really simple to follow. Within 30 minutes my family was back to getting ice from the refridgerator door. Nobody wants anything to tear up, but I hope if I do have troubles in the future, it's something that partselect carries parts for. These days it's hard to find a business that gives you want you want, quickly, for a fair price. If you were a movie I would give you two thumbs up. Thanks for making this a good outcome and not just another headache!!

Easy to install and it works fine. Recommend using the instruction manual and it was a breeze

Ice Dispense Repair on front door:
Just followed the directions to remove that front panel, removed the screws, as needed, to take out the unit. The new parts installed easily, in fact, much easier than I thought it would be. Just re-assembled unit and was back in business...

Parts came 2 days after I ordered. Followed the included instructions, removed 4 screws, snapped the new flapper into place, put the screws back and voila - REPAIR COMPLETE!! One of the simplest appliance repairs I could imagine. Thanks Partselect!

Followed instruction provided. Ice door only part required.

Installed solenoid kit.

Ordered the Ice Dispenser Solenoid & Door Kit and replaced the broken door and solenoid - easy with the right parts - FMS
