6GD5SHGXSS05 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

I unplugged the fridge, removed the face plate on the front, disconnected the power feeds, unscrewed the electrical panel and moved it out of the way.
I then dismantled and removed the broken part and installed the new part. I was able to use the rest of the existing parts to get the job done.
I put everything back together, and voila! it works great.

Because of the design change of the door hinge it was more difficult to slide the pin into the door and spring. I used an allen wrench to hold it in place on the left side so I could slide the pin in the right hole. Then removed the allen wrench so I could slide the pin all the way. I was very impressed with the time that it took to get the kit. I ordered it about 1:30PM and the following day I had the kit delivered by 6PM. FANTASTIC SERVICE!

Pulled out the ice bin and dumpted ice in the sink. Use 1/4 inch nut driver to take out all 1/2 inch screws. Be careful to watch how door spring and holder goes. Pull assembly apart and remove alger. Plastic nut on end of alger has reverse threads, remove it and then remove broken alger drum. Replace with new drum and reassemble in reverse order.

Removed old switch and installed new - but did not solve problem

replaced the water filter. very easy, just insert and turn.

The do it yourself video that was attached was great

Detached the broken ice guide by expandong the opening bewteen the tabs with my hands. Installed the new ice guide and pressed into place. Took about 3 minutes.

Replaced the cap no tools needed

I changed the bulb but it still didn’t work. I ordered a bulb holder and replaced it and it works properly now. It was an easy repair, remove the bulb, gently pry the bulb holder out with a screwdriver and snap the new one in.

It was useful that under the description of the part in the catalog, it showed that this part was often used to repair this issue. The service was great and the delivery was fast.

This was very easy to install. Part Select had very fast shipping and reasonable prices. I love this website they have everything you need for your appliance. My ice door was very easy to install. I popped it into the grooves on the ice maker. It took about 30 seconds. THANKS PART SELECT YOU ARE GREAT!!!!!! :-)

First I removed the drawer from the tracks. Second I took the whole shelf out and removed the track from it (it just slides in and out of place). Next I went to my computer and pulled up www.partselect.com found my model number,which was very easy, then ordered my part. In about three days my part arrived. I went to the fridge and slid the piece in. I put the drawer back in and checked for proper operation. It worked like new. Last I closed the door and I was done. Very simple job done with a great quality part.

I cut strips from the old slides, super glued them onto the new slides as stiffening where the old slides had broken. This was the 4th set of slides I had installed, a real Whirlpool design fault! I then sild the new pieces into the clips, and away we go!!

1. Pull out drawer. 2. Remove screws to release the auger. 3. Unscrew the end of the auger. 4. Pull parts off. 5. Replace drum. 6. Replace parts in the correct order. 7.

This one is not rocket science, however, it does take some careful "fudging" to accomplish without additional disassembly. The Ice Guide is held in place by three tabs. The tricky part is "tilting" the center tab into it's hole/slot on the ice dispenser lever (center hole), then tilting it up to snap into place.... there is a very tight tolerance here, with the opening of the ice/water dispensing unit. Be sure to "lock out" the ice maker/water dispenser, in order to be able to use the light. Once snapped in place, all is well.

Starting at the bottom, with a flat blade screwdriver pry the front cover off the opening. Unplug the wire connector from the back, remove the cover plate holding the switches and light socket by pushing out on the plastic clips on each side. Use something like a bungie cord to hold it up out of the way. Carefully unsnap the clear plastic ice shoot from the push arm, next carefully unsnap the cover door from the push arm. Clean anything that needs cleaning (CLR works great on hard water deposits)
Install everything in reverse order, the cover door first, ice shoot next, switch plate, plug in the wire connector and snap the outside cover in place.
