GI6FARXXQ07 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Pulled the unit out after reminding myself how to do so on the internet.

Replaced bad assembly with new. Not for the average person, some basic mechanical know-how needed.

I followed the video provided by Part Select. I also let the refrigerator stay unplugged overnight with all the doors open. This p-trap kit has fixed the leaks out of the front of the refrigerator. There is no ice build-up in the freezer. Perfect!

Removed the ice tray with nut driver underneath after removing and unplugging ice machine. Then by remembering, unplugged the necessary electric connectors because electric worked well(replaced electric last time I got a new assembly). Plugged in electric needed, not all (again I'm saying that), then fit back assembly with nut driver underneath.

unscrewed old filter, screwed in new....good to go!

Put new one on matching the sctew feet and design of the grill

Looked up a video on utube. That was a big help. The new ice maker didn't come with a insulation guide.

Checked Video online. Had to remove the 2 snap on track/gear covers. Pry out the gear with screwdriver and the gear bearing unit. Align the flat side of the bearing unit and snap in. Position the cut teeth on the gear to match original and snap into the bearing. Insert the connecting rod into the long shaft gear and then push back into the short shaft gear. The video said to remove the drawer front but I did not and don't see that it necessary.

Everything went as planned except the cold temperature (freezer door switch located inside freezer) made deflection of the switch locking tab difficult to remove. Letting the switch warm up was not an option.

Switched the drain out using the video tutorial
Fixed the problem
Have had no more drain issues

Bought new cap.

The Condenser Fan Motor was already removed due to searching for the problem. The new fan motor looked different from the original but I felt very comfortable that Part Select had sent me the new part showing original part number changing numbers over the years. Simply placed the fan blades onto the new motor lined up 2 of the holes placed screws and tightened then plugged the wire ribbon into the Condensor Fan Motor, plugged in the Refridgerator and it worked beautifully.

The instruction video on the Part Select Web Site made it so incredibly easy to install. Installation took under 3 minutes!

I followed the video. If there is an exact opposite of handyman or mechanic, it would fit me. I don't fix things well and I have very little patience for fixing things.
I fixed this easy by following the video. The first side took about 30 minutes because I was super cautious. The second side took less than 5
minutes because it was really easy.

Removed Phillips head screw on the front cover of both guides. Pull the drawer forward until it stops. Snap up the cover on each geared wheel to allow the basket to lift enough to continue removing the basket.
Swing the front of the guide rail towards the back which allows for the rear tab to come out of its hole.
Put new guide back in following reverse order.
Done!!

When you open the box, have flat place prepared so you can lay the seal down to allow it time to relax. Only handle the seal by the corners. Lay it flat. I used a hair dryer to remove the creases during its time in the box. Keep the hair dryer moving, don't rush this step, take your time and allow the seal to relax on its own. Once it's completely relaxed. Remove the old seal by starting at the corners. No tools needed just keep working around the entire seal. Inspect the seal chanel and clean as needed. Pick up the new seal by the corners and press in place with your fingers, starting at the corners. I found doing the top first then the sides, leaving the bottom to last worked for me. Hope this helps.

Took the old one off put the new part on. Took 1/2 hour
