GC5SHAXVT01 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.

We popped out the new filter and replaced the cap with a twist. It was so easy. It is important to vaccum the front of the refrigerator for accumulating dust.

Removed the 2 screws holding the light bulb shield, then the 4 uolding the metal panel. Unplugged the olw door switch and replaced.
reassembled the pieces.

Remove Ice bucket, Remove Phillips screw from bottom of coupling. replace washer, Coupling and screw. replace bucket. very simple.

First I removed the tracks from each side of the metal rack. Very easy using your hands to slide the tab until the part falls away.

Next I inserted the track into the tab position and snapped it into place.

Warning, dont let your kids pull the produce bin out all the way to the end of the track as it will bend and then finally crack like mine did, but thankfully an easy fix using the PartsSelect.com web site with their easy to navigate parts illustration list and manual.

Replacing this part was a breeze. But I could not believe how fast the part arrived at my doorstep - was expecting it to arrive in 3 days but it arrived in 2. And the part exactly the right one - the pictures on the sight helped a great deal in correctly identifying it.

I would absolutely order from here again and recommend it to friends.

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!

Searched my issue on the internet then chose part select to see if bi-metal thermostat was available and it was so I ordered part which was under $30.00 incl. shipping. I then went to You Tube to watch how to replace the part but most importantly to find out where it was located and degree of difficulty. Replacement was rather simple and it fixed our 22 year old fridge. I must add that when I looked up the part it also told you what percent of the time that particular item actually fixed the problem based on others experience. I thought that was neat info. as I felt better about ordering something that may or may not fix my problem. Thank you,

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.

Very easy doit repair. Watched Youtube video helpful. Small nut driver and flashlight the only tools needed. Ordered part with standard delivery and received the new motor in under 24 hours! Impressive. I will use Part Select again! So happy to have a working augur. No more stale ice at the bottom of the bin. No more scooping ice with fingers!

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!!

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 pulled off the panel covering the part in the freezer cut and stripped the wires. Used crimper and connectors put the new part on put the wires band panel back on and plugged the refrigerator back in. Everything works just fine now.

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.

Freezer worked great, refrigerator stopped getting cold and lots of ice formed around the condenser on the bottom of the refrigerator.
First I had a serious ice issue, ice build up around the bottom of the refrigerator and all through the cold air vents, condenser and cooling fan. I unplugged of the fridg and let defrost over night. I also took all the cold air vents out and cleaned them.
Then I followed the switch install video very simple switch install. Now the Refrigerator works Great nice and cold.
