59679543014 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Two screws hold each of the panels onto the refrigerator. Two more screws hold the metal drawer guides. Once the panel is released from the refrigerator, the metal drawer guides need to be transferred to the new panel. This step is repeated for the right side panel. The right side panel contains the air flow mechanism controlling how much cold air is released into the pantry drawer. It is attached by a network of plastic tabs which need to be pushed back in order to release the mechanism from the panel. A flat screwdriver is helpful to do this. I'm not positive that the air flow mechanism along the back of the refrigerator went back into place correctly; it seemed to sag a bit as it's not attached by screws.

The hook is part of the end cap so I replaced the end cap. The drawers and glass top came out easy. At that point the end cap was removed. It is held in place by 3 screws. Very simple job.

First I removed the pantry drawer, one crisper drawer and the pantry door. Using a nutdriver I removed three screws holding the pantry end cap in place. Once the end cap was removed I used a screw driver to remove two screws holding the drawer slide mechanism. Installation of the replacement end cap required doing everything in reverse order. The repair went smoothly and took about 45 minutes.

Customer service provided a video of the ice maker removal and installation. I watched the video and performed the remove and replacement.
Simple task.
Shout out to the customer service person, OUTSTANDING SERVICE. I apologize for not getting her name, great job.

Removed the 3 bottom drawers and shelves. Removed 4 screws from the old parts. Removes the screws from the existing guide rails and transferred them to the new parts. Put everything back in , in reverse order. Just take your time and do not over tighten things.

First my wife removed the food and the drawer from the unit. She then removed the screws and nuts securing the unit. The end cap was then removed and the new end cap placed. The temperature linkage and knob were reconnected and all screws and nuts tightened. Last the drawer was slid bback in and the drawer cover was hooked back to the brackets.

Switched the drain out using the video tutorial
Fixed the problem
Have had no more drain issues

inst said,"50 pct of the time this calls for new capacitor," so we changed the capacitor. Same prob. It also said,"25 pct of the time it's the bi-metal thermostat" So we ordered it. We removed the plastic rear panel from inside the freezer comp. using small nut driver. Here we found much ICE surrounding the defrost unit, three inches thick. We thawed the whole mess. and the freezer has worked fine ever since. I think my habit of getting ice cubes from the inside container rather than from the ice cube dispenser, had kep t the freezer door open too much, interfering with the normal defrost cycle and allowing ice to build up over time so that it finally defeated the system. My new rule, "get ice cubes only from the front."

Replaced left end cap-really easy. Have difficulty with humidity control on right endcap. Perhaps I can find some instruction on that.

Took out veggie drawers and glass support. Removed 3 screws, took pantry cooling controls of old part put on to new replaced screws and reassembled glass support and veggie drawers. Very easy.

Following the excellent schematic on your site, I disassembled the RH drawer hardware and removed the damaged end cap, installed the new end cap, and re-assembled the drawer hardware.
The replacement part was delivered before I expected it and the schematic was accurate and very helpful. Well done, PartSelect, thanks.

The part needed was not available to me so I had to request a service call ... the service tech came out after a week long wait and did not have the switch ... he had to order it which added another 2 week delay to this very simple repair.

It was so easy to install, no problems. And it works just like new!

remove meat drawer and both crispers, then the shelf below the crispers pull the 2 screws that hold the drawer slide . remove the 3 screws that hold the pantry end cap on, replace it and reverse the operation

remove and replace....
