61004754 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

When calling to see what the repair would cost my prices ranged from 250.00 to 175.00 with parts and labor. But I decided to tackle this project myself after watching the installation video. My parts arrived quickly and I watched the video had my repair completed within 30min and saved myself over 100.00 dollars. Thank you PartSelect!! The step by step instructions made this project a breeze.

Removed two screws from face plate then nudged plate up until it cleared the two top screws. Removed three screws holding the actual kit in place. Gently pulled the unit forward and pulled the water tube out from above the kit, then disconnected the wires connecting the unit. At this time the unit is separated from the refrigerator and you can disconnect the solenoid to remove it. The plunger in the solenoid was a little different from the old one as it connects to the insulator flap bar but Partselect has made a good/easy modification for replacement. Before installation I recommend lubricating the plastic actuator switch. Reverse the procedures you used to access the unit. Very easy.

Removed dispenser unit, replaced solenoid and door support, and reassembled. Repair video on website was extremely helpful. Only needed door support but found it was easier to order and install the entire assembly with the new door. Item number PS2003478

Your video made this repair simple. Thanks for the info. Also received my parts on time. Keep up the good job .

I followed the directions from the YouTube video, which were spot on correct! Loved it. No problems. I did have to wind the spring one more turn than it showed on the video, but that was easy to figure out. No problems!

Watched the video and followed the instructions ... time to repair was slightly longer than expected due to the fact that my fridge had wood panels requiring removal. Still, the video was terrific since I am a visual type person.Part Select service was amazing ... ordered one day and the part arrived at my door the very next day. Had the same type of service on a previous repair to replace the ice crushing part of the ice maker. What a company!!! Thanks so much.

ordered this part first thinking it was the water line issue. we fixed it and it was not that hard but it did not solve the problem. We ended up ordering the icemaker part and installed it and it works fine now. I should have ordered the inside part first and then the valve but it is new now.

The only part I needed was the Valve assembly. I checked for frost and found none. I took out the Ice Maker and found it was in poor condition but working. I did put in a new one but with the same problem. I finally read the comments from your costumers and found one place that told about a leaky water valve that was letting water drip into the ice maker so slowly it froze and blocked the valve. So I put in a new valve and thawed the pipe and allis well. What made this job so easy was the costumers comments and the best was the one day delivery of the parts. Thank you for all your help.

I had to buy the ice dispenser solenoid AND door kit just to get the door kit. The little flapper door was all that needed repair. I followed the video and this was so easy.. anyone could do this repair. PartSelect made this small job easy. Many thanks. HBoykin

Followed the video exactly. Replaced both valves in less than 1 hour. No more leakage. Very simple!

replacing the electric water valves was not to bad took about 30 minutes but still had low water pressure traced it to the filter housing had good pressure going in but low coming out so I removed the housing and found a rubber washer was restricting the water flow so I removed the washer ,put it back together and it worked fine

I followed the instructions that came with the kit.

After receiving the parts to repair the ice door, I replaced the solenoid and new chute door without problem. Then a problem I had been experiencing for well over a year, re-emerged. No Ice! I realized the icemaker was old, over 12 years and that the Teflon within the wells as well as the contacts for the timer were well worn. The ease of finding parts and the instructions provided by PartSelect, (written, video and users), I would attempt the replacement of the Ice Maker. When I examined the Freezer, I also identified that the Ice Maker shelf and enclosure (where the auger that drives the ice) was broken and barely hanging in place. I quickly identified the additional parts and ordered them. The total repair took about 60 minutes. and was treated to the sound of ice dropping into the bin by early evening. I am very pleased with the service, the quality of the products and the helpful hints from fellow users. I have added PartSelect to my IE favorites and it will be my first stop when I need repairs for any of my appliances.

The original ice door was deteriorated because of age (12 yrs). This caused humid outside air to enter the ice chute and resulted in a buildup of ice in and around the chute. Ice coming out of the reservoir was impeded and got stuck constantly in the chute. I ordered a new ice door kit and it installed easily. Then I noticed the ice door actuator pad was worn so I ordered that. things are working better now. One thing I learned, If you are replacing parts in a component of a 12 year old refrigerator, replace everything in that component at the same time. Otherwise you will order three different times and pay the shipping fee three times. You learn by experience. PartsSelect was very prompt in sending the parts that I needed. The schematics on the website made it very easy to order what I needed. I just should have ordered everything at once. Next time I will know better. Thanks for what you do.

I watched the instruction video and followed the instructions. Removed the old valves and installed the new one with the same water supply and electric wires
