25344123803 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

unplugged the old one and pushes in the new one DONE IN LESS THAN 6 Min.

Slid the new one in easy !

I pushed the button to eject the old cartridge - it came out - I pushed the new one in until it locked in place - I reset the filter light on the front. This took less than 1 minute.

When i found out there was no thread in brace where bolts were supposed to screw in, I panicked. I thought I would have to send part back or go to a machine shop to make a thread. I called a friend for help and he told me the bolts would make the thread if I just screwed them in. Sure enough, the bolts made the thread and then I just proceeded to instal motor and put refrigerator back together. It was simple.

I was able to take away the trim covering the parts with a nutdriver. The base was disconnected using a phillips head screwdriver. The only real issue was how to disconnect the plastic water lines from the old base and connect them to the new one. I finally realized I just had to cut the lines where they entered the filter base because they would not pull out. I then finally understood that to install them into the new base I just had to push them in securely. The lines were long enough to do this but probably would not be long enough to install another filter base. In that event I do not know what all would have to be done. The leak had been going on for years (it only leaked when water was running to the ice machine or water dispenser). It is great having it repaired and we hope to get quite a few more years out of this old fridge.

I followed previous directions, and would recommend them! Briefly, I removed the plastic covers for the water filter, water tubes, temperature control switches to allow removal using a screwdriver and a nutdriver(I think)to remove the hexagonal screws. I also removed the water filter before beginning. I pressed the blue thingies in the back towards the base to remove the water supply lines. It was a bit tricky, and took the bulk of the repair time, but they came lose once enough pressure was applied. I took out the old filter base, put in the new one, attached the water lines, and put back all the covers. Everything comes apart very easily, and went back together very easily. A simple repair that had us back in ice and filtered water within an hour!

Replaced fan. I ordered the fan and received it the following.(-:

Just took old knob out put new knob in real easy thank you jd

Pulled the old filter out and pushed the new filter in.

Remove the cover panel inside the freezer, remove and replace the fan motor (pull fan blades off old motor and push on the new one) and replace the cover.

Push the button on the right side of the ice maker filter compartment which releases the old filter. Just pull old filter out and slide the new filter all the way in. Be sure and mark on the new filter the date that will be time to change the filter again. I ordered the filter on one day and received the filter in the mail the next day and I had not paid extra for overnight shipping.

I unscrewed the screws that held the old fan on, disconnected the wiring harness and removed the old fan. I pulled the blades off the motor and put it on the new fan. One thing of note, the screw holes on the new fan weren't threaded. I assume this is by design, so I used the screws to thread the holes before installing it in the freezer. Once I did this, the rest of the installation was easy, just screw it back in and connect the wiring harness.

Everything went according to plans and as expected. It could not have gone any easier. Customer service was outstanding! I will certainly use your service again.

By removing the old water filter and installing the new one

I replaced the filter. However the ice cubes are very small and are being caught in the tines. Hopefully, once the filter gets more water through it, the ice cubes will be bigger. This is what happened the last time I replaced the filter.
