GB22DKXGN00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

First let me say the part arrived much faster than I anticipated! I was able to use the box (cardboard) the part came in to cover the freezer while the door was being worked on. I did not remove the door, but did remove all the screws that held the door inner part that the gasket fits around. Like another person wrote, my insulation in the door was frozen. I took that out and put new insulation in. I then fit the gasket around it and then screwed it back on. I have an electric screw driver and without the bit, it fit these hex screws perfectly, so I was able to unscrew and screw quickly.

Unfortunately, I realized the cause for the dripping was due to a faulty defrost thermostat. I'm guessing that part will arrive tomorrow. We did need a new gasket, however, so I don't regret it.

Removed the slide out bin and then removed the many screws that held the inner panel to the outer insulated door panel. Removed the gasket. Melted the ice and dried the fiberglass perimeter insulation in the door panel. Placed the gasket in position on the door that was lying on the table. Replaced the inner panel screws. Put everything back together.

THERE IS A PROBLEM NOW. THE GASKET DOES NOT MAKE CONTACT ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND AIR LEAKS INTO FREEZER. SIDES AND BOTTOM ARE OK. DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.

Removed the cover to the timer, 2 nut screws. Easy. Then emptied freezer, and took off back plate with nut driver. Replaced thermostat. 2 wire plugs that were easy to complete. Left back off, let thermostat normalize temperature, then switched to defrost setting. Worked like a charm.

I had to cut a groove in the bushing to put the elec. wires through it, & then just remove the hinge, put the bushing in & replace the hing.

remove ice maker vent and back piece. Unclip defrost thermostat and unplug. Plug new thermostat in and clip to element, reattach back piece, vent and ice maker. Is a tight fit getting icemaker out, there are 3 screws 2 on top and one on bottom.

I followed the instructions for the installation of the icemaker and its connection to the house water supply.

Watch video. Very helpful, followed instructions went in fairly easy. Gasket deformed, used hair dryer could not get to set straight. WAIST of TIME and MONEY. I wouldn’t recommended buying one of these twisted gaskets, buy a new fridge which is what I’m doing tomorrow.

Had to defrost the freezer which takes most of the time. Once freezer is defrosted its a simple matter of disassembling and removing the cover which covers the evaporator and disconnecting the defrost thermostat and replacing with the new one then reassembling. The information provided at the Parts Select site was all I needed to get the repair done.

let gaskets on cement patio in high ungodly chicago heat during sun shine. freezer had to remove the door 8 bolts . no problem. cleaned area and gasket fit to a tee. top part removed the upper nuts and 4 side ones left and right side . popped the gasket on top and screwed in the center bolt. there are one centering bolt on each side. this insures a sure fitting. worked my way side to side and finnally bottom. did not tighten bolts till gasket fit snug in the groove.

use your site as a referance no problem customer rep was great also

I checked your web site for similar problems. Most were the bimetal defrost thermostat. Some had defrost timer problems. Althought my bimetal thermostat was deformed by the ice I replaced both parts. The fix was easy after defrosting the evaporator. By using the spec sheets I found the locations and replaced the parts. The refrigerator is now working fine.

removed bottom dust cover removed four screws that hold the 8 hour timer and disconnected the wiring harness. second I removed the ice maker and the back panel in my freezer and uncliped the defrost thermostat unpluged the two wires and replaced with the new one very simple.

removed gasket with nut driver and screw gun. warmed new gasket up with hair dryer. worked seal around door. seal installed very easily. video was very helpfull. i didn't take door off. freezer works fine now with no frost or ice buildup.

This is a bottom drawer freezer/refrigerator. Removed the drawer face from the drawer assembly. Removed screws that secure the inside of the drawer and removed the old gasket. Discovered that some fibreglass insulation inside the door was wet and icy from condensation that had gathered over time. Removed the insulation and dried it. This took some time as the ice was slow to melt. Once dry, I replaced the insulation, installed the new gasket and reassembled the door and reinstalled it on the door assembly. Used a hair dryer to warm the new gasket so that it would take proper shape as it had deformed slightly in its packaging . Was tipped off to this approach in the instructions that came with the new gasket. Laa in all the repais was successful.

We looked up the problem online with the model number of the refrigerator. We ordered the part and followed the video installation that was sent with the order and was found online prior to purchasing
