6GD5SHGXSS08 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

There were two small round studs in each slide track missing from the originals. Since there were no corresponding holes in the metal shelf bracket on my fridge, I ground off the plastic studs with a Dremel tool and the tracks fit perfectly.

My door would self-close anymore due to worn door cams. To fix I removed the door by unbolting the upper hinge and lifting the door off the lower hinge. I pried the cams off the door and the lower hinge and pressed the new ones into place. Added a dab of grease and reinstalled the door. Closes like new.

Ordered and received parts. Removed drawer and shelf unit. Removed the glass from top of shelf. Each track(2) slides out of slots on each of the metal shelf brackets. Slid old tracks out of each shelf bracket. Had to use small screwdriver to push down plastic tab that locks track before it would slide all the way out. Each new track had a small tab on each end, which would not let them slide into the slots on the metal shelf brackets. Used a small saw (could also use a file) to remove the 2 tabs on each track. Slid the new tracks onto metal shelf brackets, reinstalled shelf unit, glass top and drawer. Took about 40 minutes.

First, I removed the 6 screws which hold the ice bin to the drum and the front cover. I then removed the screw which holds the door lever and bracket to the ice bin. Then I took the C clip and washer off the end of the auger to remove it from the housing. I removed the plastic nut to remove the auger drum from the auger shaft, being careful to place the blades on the table in the order they were removed. I then installed the new auger drum on the shaft and re-assembled everything in the reverse order. This was really easy for me because I had replaced the auger previously. (about 2 years ago)

First empty the shelves on the refrig. door. Then removed the upper hing cover and removed the three screws holding the hinge to the body of the refrigerator. Lifted the door off the bottom hinge and placed it clear of the unit.
Inspected the bottom hinge and cleaned off the screw holding the closing cam, then with a nutdriver removed the screw holding the cam and removed the cam from the hinge. Installed a new cam closer, secured the cam with a screw. Hanged the door back on the lower hinge and re-installed the upper hinge. Job Complete!

Super easy fix. Inserted shelf in to the shelf frame. Attached frame to refrigerator mounting bracket . Done in less than 5 minutes.

Well - I simply snapped the new shelf into place and vwah la - I have an extra shelf now in our very crowded freezer! Hurray!!!! Super easy.

I just followed the excellent Video for both parts. The door gasket is tedious but doable, just take a deep breath and press on. Putty knife is handy to push edge of gasket under the plastic lip. The closer devices take 3 minutes - simple R&R. Check the videos - they're pretty clear and detailed.

I followed the instruction video and it is very straight forward. My biggest problem was disconnection the 2 tubes that insert into the filter holder. Once I disconnected it from the front, I couldn't pull it far enough forward to get good access to manipulate those tubes. I had to pull the refrigerator out from the wall to get access to the back. On the back, there is another part you can unscrew where the other end of the tubes are connected. Once you've done this, you can pull the filter holder forward and release those tubes. Then attach the tubes to the new filter holder and reinstall everything.

Removed old filter and tried to install new filter according to instructions. Was unable to rotate new filter so I could not complete repair.

After fabricating a new part to hold the spring rod in place, so the dispenser flap would close tightly in place. Every thing else to reassemble was very easy.

The repair went pretty easy. You must remove the cover and lift up the electronics to gain access. The instructions were a little vague since the new door/chute didn't have the electric heater wire. I eventually realized that it wasn't needed and replaced the door without further incident.

With a new valve in the back, I now have water and ice at the door after a couple year hiatus!

Thanks.

Just as shown on your video.The refrigerator side was not sitting even, clunked and did not seal right. I decided to do.both sides, refrigerator and freezer while I was at it as our refrigerator is about 16 years old. Everything went in easily and saved us a lot of money. Very happy with the parts and repair video. Got the refrigerator nice and cleaned out while we were at it..Us and the refrigerator are breathing easier now..Yeepppeee....

Ordered Ice Bin Auger and changed with no problem. Found how to change on YouTube and followed video.

remove top hinge take door off replace parts on bottm hinge put door back on done

The part came in two days!! It had a couple of little bumps that made it impossible to slide in, so I ground them down and had the entire project finished in less than five minutes.

When I ordered, I was confused about the "Left Side or Right Side statement - thinking I needed to specify so I wrote a short email to customer support asking about it. WIthin an hour, I had a reply.

The customer service and speed of delivery were the best ever!!!
