WSF26C3EXB01 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Simple, turn and pull to remove. Push and turn to install.

I removed the cardboard back then using a nut driver removed the three mounting screws, removed the old fan/motor and installed the new one, installing the three screws and replacing the cardboard cover.

My big problem was getting the right parts. Don't ever order refrigerator parts using the refrigerator model number. I did and got the wrong part, sent it back and talked to the parts lady and ordered again describing the error, the needed parts shape etc and she sent me the exact part I had sent back. I sent it back and removed the fan motor to get the part number, called and ordered by number and got the right one. Hallelujah!

i had used your web site before and i read several problems that your readers had. i went to the back of the unit, removed the bottom cover and right there the i found the run capacitor and i chaged it. since i had only ordered this part to save money i went back and ordered the Start Device which when i took it off it was completely burned. the replacement part came labeled with 2 different compressor #, so i picked the one that i had and unpluged each wire. the part may differ from the one that it's in the unit but it worked when i pluged everything back on. it also helps to take a picture of everything before removing the wires in case you have to leave it and come back later. i hope to use this refrigerator another 10 years. thank you all for your help.

It was so easy!

Thanks for the rush to my home on the part.

I just unscrewed the plate that locks in the light switch (screwdriver) and unplugged the old faulty part and plugged in the new switch, screwed the cover back on and I was done!

Easy!

And I am not Mr. Fix-it!

took old bin out replaced with new , two minute job
Parts select is an easy co. to do business with THANKS Andrea

Ordered the replacement part, came in 2 days, opened the box,rinse and dried it and put in the door. Nothing to it.

Hold both water filter reset touch sensors down together. This will reset the water sensor indicator.

Very simple, easy, and quick! Anybody can do it!!

Nothing to do, part came, fully assembled, it just went right into the door. Yea!!!

Used a screw driver to pull old switch. Pulled one wire at a time, only two wires. After wires instlled to new switch push new one back in place where the old one was.

change light bulbs

First I removed all food in freezer.Then removed selves and hanger brackets.Then the back panel and light cover.Then I unplugged motor but before this I unplugged refrigerator from the wall.Removed motor from bracket after pulling of fan. Reversed the order to install motor and put back together

I replaced the water inlet valve. This was a easy except for the place the valve was located. I removed the back panel cover after unplugging the refrigerator, shut off the water feed line to the refrigerator. After some cleaning with a vacuum cleaner, to remove build up dust and lint, I was able to reach in and pull the valve loose from the mounting bracket. I removed the electrical plugs from the valve and all three water lines. One that was completed, I was able to remove the valve from it's location. Replacing the valve, was easy enough, as I just attached the water line hoses back into the mounting location and plugged in the electrical plugs, then placed the valve back onto the mounting bracket. I then turned the water feed line back on and checked for leaks. Once I was able to make sure there were no water leaks, I replaced the back panel cover and plugged the refrigerator back it to the power plugin. The valve immediately began working, supplying water to the icemaker.

Unplug, then on the freezer side, remove the drawers, then remove the screws holding the sheet metal cover, remove the rails (for the drawer) that interfere with removing the sheet metal cover. pull the wires off the motor. There is a big plastic piece that holds a small plastic piece that holds the motor. Remove the plastic piece that holds the motor/fan (you might be able to swap the motor by removing the little plastic piece that holds the motor, or you can remove the bigger piece and then remove the small piece that holds the motor). Pull the fan blade off (to reuse), swap the motor. NOTE - the new motor wire terminals may be on the opposite side of the motor vs. the old motor - that is not a problem - there is plenty of room for the wires. After the motor is installed put the fan blade back on, reinstall the removed plastic pieces in the back of the refrigerator. Now, I'd suggest a quick test. Make sure the new motor works and the fan blows before you button it up. Once you know it works, power it off, and put the sheet metal cover back on, reinstall the basket brackets, put the baskets back in place, close the door, and turn it back on.
