59679513013 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

First, let me say that it only broke because a teenage house guest that didn't know how to open the lid, yanked on it.

I, the lady of the house, repaired it myself. I took out the wide pantry drawer, the two smaller drawers and 1 glass shelf, unscrewed the glider rail (2 screws), unscrewed the old panel (4 nuts). Put the glider on the new panel, screwed the new panel on, put the shelf and drawers back. No Problem. Thank you.

Followed the video exactly as shown from the website. I do suggest using a mirror or your phone to visualize the notch to press to drop the cover.

Removed the Pantry drawer, glass top and plastic supports.
Removed the Right Hand end cap by removing the three holding screws with a nut driver.
Removed the slid out metal rail from the end cap along with the slide mechanism for temperature control.
Replaced all of the parts in reverse order.

Unsnapped and pulled off small cover exsposing two phillips head screws. I removed larger cover and styrofoam insert fully exsposing the damper unit. i unplugged same and with a 1/2 inch wood chisel was able to release the "snaps" holding the old unit in place. Simply reverse procedure to install new unit.

The installation video for condenser fan motor helped a lot to know how to disconnect the old fan motor and connect the new one. So easy just know how to remove and put back the fan gently, observe carefully where is the center and the connector position; 15 min after everything was done and the unit works well to date.

Watched the excellent video on Parts Select. Followed the disassembly instructions from the video and replaced it just like that. Very quick and easy because of the video.

The only reason why it took me so long to complete the repair was the fact I had to clean a spill I had from I don't know how long ago.

Saved me a ton of money doing it myself!

Removed cover ,two veggie bins, glass glass shelf, all took 10 min. It took longer to wipe clean every thing I installed the new end cap with 3 screws, I had to add one of my own as the factory only used 2 the rear one was not installed.it didn't matter.One thing that I didn't like was the parts came with no info, but my 40 years of working for air lines made the job easy for me.

Pretty simple, remove the pantry lid, drawers above glass pantry cover and then the glass cover and its metal supports.
Then the pantry tray from its metal slides.
Remove the slides then the broken end cap.
The slides and end caps are attached with 1/4 inch hex drive screws.
I did notice a small change in the new end caps which will improve the
strength of the problem tab. I do not expect the same problem again.

The glide was very easy to put on; however it is easiest to put in the front screw first, due to the thickness of the glide. Pretty easy!

I removed the pantry door, the pantry drawer and the glass shelf above the pantry drawer. I removed 2 screws/bolts from the left side end cap and removed it. I simply installed the new pantry end cap with the 2 screws/bolts and tightened them snuggly. I then replaced the pantry drawer ...installed the glass shelf...reinstalled the pantry door and that was it...the wife took over after that

Refrigerator was not cold.

I had this problem before and it was the control vale in the back of the refrigerator. I ordered it and change that out in 5 minutes. That wasn’t the problem. I had the repairman come over and within 5 minutes he told me what the problem was. He showed me where the control board was. He then walked me through the removal process.

First remove the light cover on the Freezer & Refrigerator in front where the light button is located. Pull down on the front of the light cover. It pops out.

Second, in the front of the freezer & refrigerator temp control panel put your fingertips in front of the panel and pull down it’s hard to get the pins to release but the front pins will release, then pull down a little to allow the back hooks to release. (You can use a small common screwdriver if you can’t get it with your fingertips).

Next, once the panel is removed then disconnect the wiring harness. Then bring the panel to the counter, this is where you remove the circuit card and replace it. There are 4 hooks that hold the circuit board in place. Use a small common screwdriver to push the hooks away from the board. The new board comes as one piece. The board is perforated to allow you to snap the board. Directions come with the board and how to snap it. You will need to pay attention on how you removed the board. You will need to put the new board in the same way it came out.

Once the board is re-installed and lock into position reverse the process and install the control panel back into position.

Next is the programing of the board. Follow the directions that come with the control board and you will be back in business

This task took about 15 minutes to remove & replace and to program.

Removed the access panel on back of unit located the Run Capacitor on the compressor and removed the bad one and put the new one on and pugged refrigerator back in and it started up and works fine now

Used the suggested problem list here to narrow down that the repair was most likely the run capacitor. Poped the new one in and I now have better control of my compartment ranges. I have a temperature gauge in each compartment. Check them every opening of the doors.

Was told capacitor was problem 90% of the time.Capacior was not the problem.Bad start relay.

I did exactly what the email I got said to do: remove the 2 crisper drawers, remove the glass directly above the crisper drawers, drop in the center rail. It worked just GREAT! Thanks a bunch!
