3ET18ZKXAW01 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

One of the front studs was broken off. I had to use pliers to pull it out (kind of tight). Then I inserted the back and front holders and layed the shelf back in. Total time...10 min

I had to use a screw driver to spread the prongs enough to fit into the area to secure it. Very easy. The service was great , we recieved the part in 2 days

I put the end caps on the shelf bar and popped them into the slots on the refrigerator door. Very easy.
Good experience ordering from PartSelect. Glad I could make repair with minimal expense.

I removed the self brackets and installed new parts, installed the enclosed tape on the bracket and reinstalled into the door.

snapped in the new end cap and snapped it into the fridge. I shouldn't have waited so long to order the part. it was cheap and easy to do

Installation was a breeze! Simply place shelf front into end cap set and while door is supported with assistance from another person, press endcaps into slots of the door backing. A proper quick fix and no more items falling out.

replaice the end caps with new ones. very easy. happy with partselect.com

A little firm pressure snapped the new parts in place in the door so that the shelf could be replaced.

taped the door shut ,measured a block of wood and stuck it under the door for support.....unbolted bottom hinge,slipped on hinge bracket and reassembled.no muss no fuss.

Looked up the process on you yube and watched the repair video from the parts website

I simply attached the part. It was so easy. What amazed me is how easy it was to order the part. Locating the part was on line was the simplest item I've purchase, the diagrams of the refrigerator were very helpful.

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

This problem can be caused by 3 different part failures. Timer, thermostat or heater. After contacting a service repair shop I was told that most often it is the thermostat. The cost of the repair would be at least $115. To much for an old refer. So I ordered the part from Partselect for $33. and put it in myself. Step1 cut the power to the refer. Step2 remove ice maker if you have one. Step3 remove base and back panels in the freezer. Step4 the coils were badly frozen so I used a hair dryer to thaw it out. Would have waited a long time for it to thaw out otherwise. Step5 The thermostat is clipped on to copper tubing next to the coils. Unclip it and cut the wires close to the thermostat. Strip the wires and wire nut the new thermostat. Clip it back on to the copper tubing. Put it all back together and start it up. It's over a week know and no problems. Note: We have whirlpool appliances that are over 16 years old. I have repaired the washer, oven, and now the refer with parts from Partselect. Good company. Always received the correct part within about 3 days from ordering. If you are able to do the work yourself you can save big bucks and keep your appliances running longer. Good Luck

The fix was easy. I jacked up the unit and put on blocks. I used socket and ratchet removed the wheels. Reinstall new ones and let off the blocks.

First I called my friend Robert in Kissimmee, Fl to have an idea regarding the problem because I had never serviced a fridge before. Then he suggested that I check with PartSelect on the Web. Then PartSelect repair videos showed me everything. I followed step-by-step but the problem persisted. I finally realized that the airflow conduit between the freezer and the fridge was clogged with ice. I then proceeded to remove the ice underneath the coil on the aluminum cover and Bingo. The problem was in fact the ice. Well, I only spent $33 dollars for the non-necessary Bimetal Defrost Thermostat. I learned a great deal from that repair.
