59668942800 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

remove rear plate on refrigerator and remove two screws holding unit to plate. Cut the supply tube and the tube to ice maker and water spout. insert the existing tubes back into new unit and replace back on plate and then plate to refrigerator. That SIMPLE

Unplugged and disconnected the water supply.Disconnected the water line coming from the filter and cut about 1/8 inch off to square it off.
Unscrewed panel to expose inlet valve. With a marker I noted where the lines need to go back to. Disconnected the other two lines and made fresh straight cuts with a utility knife. Disconnected both plugs from the old inlet. The yellow one was difficult to get off, so I carefuly used a screw driver. Be careful, you don't want to break the plug. Reinstalled the new inlet. make sure that you push all of the lines in the valve so that they are completely seated. Make electrical connections. Secure valve to the panel. The water line from the filter should be the last line that you connect. Put screws back in the panel.
Plug in and turn on water supply. Fill up a gallon container from water dispenser. Check for leaks. Let the ice machine fill up. Check for leaks. Place back panel back on and secure. GOOD LUCK!

Everything went as planned except the cold temperature (freezer door switch located inside freezer) made deflection of the switch locking tab difficult to remove. Letting the switch warm up was not an option.

Extremely easy. Probably could have been done with eyes closed.

Pried out old part with screwdriver. Unplugged. When new part came, just plugged it in and pushed the part into place.

Needed ice maker bucket for extra fridge. Part came the next day, and worked perfectly.

Work was done by service tech. I ordered the arm for my mom to save time when tech came back to do the job correctly.

Couldn't have been easier. Took around 5 minutes. All you have to do is remove 4 Phillips head screws, put on new drawer glides, put the screws back in and your done.

The Condenser Fan Motor was already removed due to searching for the problem. The new fan motor looked different from the original but I felt very comfortable that Part Select had sent me the new part showing original part number changing numbers over the years. Simply placed the fan blades onto the new motor lined up 2 of the holes placed screws and tightened then plugged the wire ribbon into the Condensor Fan Motor, plugged in the Refridgerator and it worked beautifully.

The instruction video on the Part Select Web Site made it so incredibly easy to install. Installation took under 3 minutes!

Just 2 screws on each side - took them out, installed new glides with existing screws.
Very easy - ended up giving the fridge a thorough cleaning - fridge cleans so easy and quickly.

I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.

Eased the putty knife under the edge of the switch housing and pried it off. Pulled two wires off the old terminals and hooked them onto the new one and reinstalled into the refrigerator body.

First off, I learned from YTube how to go about figuring out what might be wrong & how to fix it. I watched numerous videos and narrowed it down to the damper as the part to be replaced. I learned how to use the Jazz Board in the fridge to test components & verified the damper wasn't getting signal to open/close. I removed the old damper & put in the new one following what I had seen on the videos. I found a video that had the same type of damper assembly as my fridge & used it to show me how to remove & replace the damper. This was the 2nd part I had to replace to get my fridge up & working. I spent a total of 224.00 on parts and now the fridge is quieter than it's been in years. Finally, if a 66 year old woman can do this, so can you. Just watch YTube & also PartsSelect also has videos also.

Had to push the light switch to get lamp to light up.
Removed power from refrig. and removed old light switch
and replaced with the one I got from Partselect. Turned power back on and was done.

It was so easy just opened the box took out the shelf and plaed it where the old one was. This was the easiest repair ever. Thank you for this website!
