25358689894 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

take the ice bin out of freezer. there are 2- 1/4" screws. these screws only need to be loosened a few turns. the ice maker can be slightly lifted up and will come off the screws. unhook the wire harness. take the "L" bracket off the old ice maker and put on the new one. set the new ice maker in. hook up the wire harness. put the new ice maker over the screws, tuck the wires out of the way and pull down into place. tighten the screws.

Downloaded a schematic of the ice container. Disassembled the ice container, keeping track of which different type of screws went where. Followed the schematic to ensure proper sequence of blades and spacers. Manually rotated unit prior to installing into the freezer in case of binding. Finished.

Looked up similar problems and found it to be the defrost timer. All I had to do was remove the plastic portion in the fridge section to get to the old timer. Popped the new one in and put it back together. Works great now. Would have been almost $150 to have a repair company come out and fix it.

But I have back ground mechanical skills, I did see the video one time, and everything went smooth......

Found that that ice maker was working mechanically and electrically but was not receiving water to the ice maker. I found that the dual solenoid valve was not sending water to the ice maker when I asked for water so I ordered a new dual solenoid and this fixed the problem,however I also found the water feed tube was frozen and had to take it off an thaw it out. Now the ice maker and water dispenser is working great.

i removed rhe old storage drawer from the refrigator. removed the front face and slid it on to the new drawer i received from Part Select. put the drawer into the refrigator and it fit perfectly. Part Select web site worked perfectly on selecting the right part. the part was delivered in three days. i would recommend this company for your appliance replacement parts and would not hesitate ordering from them in the future.excellant service.

Removed outside cover on door despencer, (4 screws) unplug wire, removed unit from refrig and replace rusted thru wire that holds door shut. It was fairly easy. I actually took it apart twice, once for diagnosis and once for repair after the part arrived.

Removed parts and reused the old rollers from the sliding meat drawer. Important point to remember is to not through away any hardware before the new parts arrive. New parts are void of hardware. Parts arrvied ontime as promissed and fit perfectly. I saved a ton of money doing this myself and not calling the repairman. great experiance.

The part’s picture on the site was not identical to the part delivered, but the function was essentially the same. It had different connectors to the outgoing tubes and a slightly different method of attachment to the refrigerator (it required 1 additional skew - not included). After verifying the part would still work, I shut off the water. Then I disconnected the two outgoing tubes. Made sure I had bucket handy to handle excess water. Then I removed the part using an adjustable wrench (1 screw) and then detached the incoming tube. Attached the incoming tube to the new part and then remounted (2 screws). And then I attached the two outgoing tubes and turned on the water. It works great and I have no plumbing experience.

I removed the housing at the top of the refrigerator compartment that contained the reefer light and temperature adjustment knob. This required a small nut-driver. Inside, I found the old defrost control, unplugged it, unscrewed it with a Phillips screwdriver, and replaced it with the replacement part. Then I replaced the housing to its original position.

First I removed the plastic grill (pulled out, no screws) from bottom of refrigerator, then I removed electrical plug & two screws from old timer (timer located on the front inside left lower side of refrigerator). Installed in reverse order.

Remove ice pan below ice maker. Got mirrow verifed the type of screws. Obtained nut driver and felt it at right angle remove screws only have way. The ice maker lifts up and off. Took needle nose pliers to grip and remove electrical connection plug. The instruction and picture sent was no help the picture were the size of a thumb nail no detail could be determine. I installed the adapter plug and all the extra length wiring was the most difficult to type wrap with both hands extended out in front. I finally wrestled it in on to the two screws unscrewed from the wall about 1/2". Keep the ice maker water lever up and ensure it aligns to the water trough inlet. Works Great.

First I unplugged the appliance for safety,then I proceeded to remove the sheetmetal from inside, the freezer compartment, this is where the evaporator is located and where you will find the defrost limit switch or thermostat same thing. also the defrost heater is located here as well. I made note of what plugged into what and what the colors of the wires are for future use. You also need to check the defrost timer which on this unit, it is located in the very front lower left coner of the appliance. Once I received the parts I put things back together in the reverse order, plugged in the appliance and so far so good the refrigerator is cold now.There are a lot of repair manuels out there that will help you repair your appliances and save yourself a lot of money. You just have to be willing to do it yourself.

Removed three screws from cover to gain access to the two mounting screws on the water filter housing assembly. How to remove the water line connectors took the most time as I had not seen that type of fitting before. Other than that it was drop dead easy.

Changed the defrost timer and the Thermostat. Still did not fix the problem. Replaced the defrost heater and now it's cooling just like new.
