59666132703 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Snapped old one off, snapped new one on

Followed easy instruction video. It was like new in fifteen minutes.

Removed the glass shelf, position the rail in its slots and replaced the glass shelves.

Removed both crispers and shelf . Inserted new rail as explained in video. Replaced everything.

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out so you can work behind it.I had to get a helper to lean the refrigerator forward and let it rest on a towel I placed on the countertop. The tray was underneath the refrigerator near the back so I leaned it forward enough to remove the metal plate that holds the tray in place. I placed a scotch behind the front wheels to keep it from rolling backward off the counter it was resting on. I had to remove the cover from the unit on the lower back side of the refrigerator to see how the tray was moumted. Once you remove the plate you have to slide the fan off the tray and then you can remove the tray. Simply reverse the whole process to install the new tray, upright the refrigerator and plug it back in to the outlet.

Dropped down the front control panel were you program the the tempertures when you open the doors. This just pops down from the front. Then change out the printed cicuit broad two wires all done.

Thanks for the control board. However, it arrived in two days not overnight, UPS noted on their tracking site the error was their own. Also, the part did not come with installation instructions or programming instructions. Found on youtube a video that described in detail the programming procedure: . . . . . very helpful.

Thanks,
Marc

Refrigerator completely quit due to suspected power surge as a result of daily afternoon thunderstorms. Quit means compressor would not run, LED temperature controls would not light, but fan continued working. First, replaced Start Relay & Capacitor located attached to compressor. This was successful and compressor immediately started. However, Refrigerator controls at Electronic Control Board (ECB)failed to light up indicating no control over over unit. Replaced ECB and unit lit up and control established. The Start Relay & Capacitor are slightly difficult to find as they are black in color and merge into the base of the compressor. It helps to be flexible to remove and replace this unit due to it's difficult location. The ECB is easy to access as it is top inside front behind lights of unit. Plastic housing simply unsnaps for easy removal. Instructions do not tell you to make sure that you re-install the upper narrower control board with press pins toward outside of control face. A simple item but easily overlooked as one has to "pull" at the connecting cable of the two control boards. Success finally after three days. Parts Select was great and item shipped quickly. As a contractor, one can usually figure cost of job at three times the cost of the part. This repair would have approached $600. Cost of parts was $200. Savings were substantial and would recommend DIY provided you have time.

Temp in fridge stayed around 45-46 degrees even at lowest setting. First went with most probable problem of replacing the Evaporator Motor Kit in lower freezer compartment, no change, next ordered thermistor in fridge area, no change, temp stayed in same range, then tried the Electronic Control Board in top of fridge, fridge works like a charm now. Very easy repair, just follow directions to progam new board. Possible cause a lightning strike near house that fried a TV about 2 years ago - fridge began to freeze items at first and went downhill from there.

Clean off the glass shelf, remove drawers and shelf, pop in replacement rail, put everything back in fridge. Replacing the part is the easy part, what I would like to know is why this is the second one I have had to buy this year. There must be a problem with the replacement parts that they break so easily. This time, I bought 2, so that i have a spare - fortunately, the price is reasonable.

Removed the drawers and shelf with glass t.op and center rail, installed new one (popped out and popped new one in). Took all of 5 minutes. Easy to order on line. Should use usps for shipping it is cheaper.

Lift the glass shelf up, slip center rail in place, lower shelf. Time 1 minute.It takes more time to remove everything on the shelf than to replace the part.

First I watched the How To video on the repair process. Then I followed the steps on the video and was finished in no time at all. Very simple! The ordering and delivery of the product was also quick and efficient.

I followed the video instructions and had no problems changing the part.
