10655128700 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

After the front panel was removed, disconnected the timer and installed new in reverse order. The provided instructions could be more straight forward, I spent more time reading it than the installation itself.

****Make are you order Capacitor & Starter relay too (we ordered separtely so had to pay shipping twice)**** Super easy just open access panel on back near compressor and remove retention clip with fingers, remove & replace both capacitor & starter, put clip and access panel back on, plug in and allow 8 hours to cool! Works like new again! Hope it goes another 10 years

very good

The refrigerator had to be pulled away from the wall far enough to permit the door to open fully, but no tools were needed and no difficulty was encountered. Removed the old drawer and discarded it. Inserted the new drawer and closed the humidifier vent. Pushed the refrigerator back in place. Job done.

I killed the power to the fridge on my breaker box before I started the repair job. I popped the dispenser panel off by slipping two screwdrivers(one in each slot on the bottom of the panel). Then I removed two screws on the wire panel beneath in order to get to the ice door chute. (Take a mental note of how all the parts are positioned that you must replace.) I had to remove the pin in the ice door lever, then I replaced the spring and the ice door(flapper) with the new ice door support (timed release closure). The new ice door support doesn't require the white shroud that existed on the previous part. The most difficult part of this repair was having the patience to deal with the wire panel dangling in the way, and trying to contort myself in awkward positions to be able to see what I was doing. My hands are large, so it was difficult to maneuver them in order to make everything fit back together. If you have someone to hold the panel up out of the way while you are working, it would be much easier. If you have a short mechanic's creeper chair, it would be helpful!

First, after re-reading your descriptions here on your site ( it took clues from each of them) I unplugged the refrigerator and began on the only day my husband was out of town. The two selector knobs came off easily fingers only. The plate came off with only a slight prying with a screwdriver (it is intended to snap off this way). Loosening the screws and removing them in order to remember which order they returned proved to be a challenge. After disassembly, pulling the thermostat out of the tubing and replacing it with the new one without bending it was hard to do also. The refrigerator runs like new, and may run another eleven years! Thanks!

The repair was easy, I removed the cover on the top front of the fresh food compartment. It housed the defrost timer which was easy to identify and replace. Just removed a screw, unplugged the wires and replaced with the new part. Unfortunately, that wasn't the only problem. I also had to replace the defrost element that the timer sent power to. While I was at it, I replaced the defroster thermostat. The entire repair took under an hour, diagnosing the problem took the most time and effort.

Simple fix. I watched the video it was great.

Turn off power .Remove the control knobs and pry off the front panel ,it just snaps on,Take out two screws holding the control panel Take out the two screws holding the control to the base of the panel to get at the two screws holding the control to the bracket. Ther are screws holding the covers over the thermostat tube. Then pull out the tubbe and remove the plastic cover on the old control and place it on the new control tube. Then route the new tube into the snaps be careful to not make ant sharp bends in tubing.When that is done fasten the control to the bracket and fasten the bracket to the panel.Replace covers over tube to hide it and keep from damaging it when putting things in fridge.. Mount the conrol bracket back to the fridge and replace snap on cover. Plug in electric.

The Defrost Timer is located in Refrigerator section (not the freezer) where your temperture guages are. Move panel and replace the non working Defrost Timer with the new one. It took my husband about 30-40 mins to fix. This was about 2 weeks ago and my Freezer and Refrigerator are working like new. I bought this Kenmore Reftigerator brand new in 1996 and I lost the manuel to it. Thanks to my daughter who found the Defrost Timer on the Internet, I thought I was going to have to buy a new one. This was real easy to fix. The instructions that came with the part was easy to understand and very self explanatory. It also had very good diagrams to follow.

All I did was unscrew the stripped one and screw the new part on. You just have to get it started unscrewing first ( remember that it's backwards! ).

Remove old shelf, install new one. Five minutes - tops; don't overload the new one.

Diagram is not clear, meat drawer is designed to fit on bottom of shelves and humidity control crisper drawer is intended for next level up, after realizing the proper arrangement it was a relatively easy, however after first trying the crisper at the lower level it was not easy to recognize the proper locatiom

SUPER EASY. I pulled out the ice bucket and confirmed the motor ran and the axel turned - however the coupling was missing. Ordered the coupling - pulled out the ice bucket, screwed on by hand with minimum effort, put ice bucket back and ice started coming out the door. It took less than 5 minutes and no tools required.

I started by using some superglue to reattach the broken mounting ring for the pin above the ice door flap. Wait a few minutes for the glue to set (I waited about 2 hours.) After that, install the pin and spring with the spring legs facing the door flap mount and the arch on top. Angle it so the freezer door apply pressure to the spring arch then slot the pin into the circular mount you just glued on the left and the retaining slot on the right.
