WRT148FZDB00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

This job was extremely easy, snap on.

I bought this refrigerator from a big box store w/o seeing the actual model, but was told the one I was buying was exactly the same only w/o handles sticking out. Not so. This model has no full-size freezer shelf even tho there are slots on both sides of the freezer for a full-size shelf. Whirlpool was no help, telling me I'd undo the warranty if I tried to put in a shelf that wasn't for that freezer, but I investigated & found the frig I originally saw, got its full-size freezer shelf model number, & voila! I'm now a happy camper with a better organized freezer. Freezer shelf fit perfectly, came intact due to being well-packed for shipment. Easy to install-just slid it into the shelf track slots.

Followed the video instructions.

Took the refrigerator shelf out. Slid the broken part off the rim on the shelf. Placed the new one on the rim. Remplced the shelf in the refrigerator. Done!

My son said it was easy to put in the motor I didn’t need the fan my fan was in good shape yet thank you so much for everything

Noticed the evaporator fan not spinning but would spin with a finger jump start. After looking up the part on the PartSelect liner parts diagram I found the installation video that really helped. After installing the fan it tested out fantastic. The fan was blowing air 10 times more than the old one. Refrigerator works great on the original econo setting.

The light rocker switch wasnt working. I found the part on the web site. It was so easy. I used a screw driver to pop out the old one and pop the new one in. It took 5 min. Thanks!!!

I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!

Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.

Very simple fix, remove 3 screws, two connectors to the old switch

I first replaced the switch and had no results, I then ordered the Light Socket Kit, and because I had the experience of removing the panel to replace the switch, it took a few minutes to remove the two screws behind the panel, removing the temperature control knobs and then releasing the face plate which is secured by tabs at the bottom. The kit came with extra connectors in case they were needed, but they were not in my case and so I pulled off the wires, pushed the old socket out and the new one in. Attaching the wires to the correct pins, I screwed in the light bulb to be sure that the fix was correct and determining that, I replaced the screws that held the panel in place. Voila, I'm a happy camper who found some outdated jars in the back corners of the newly lighted shelves.

Using a screwdriver

removed old and installed new compartment door by hand.

Since I have All Whirlpool appliances in the home, the only one not a Whirlpool was a counter top dishwasher that looks exactly like it could be a Whirlpool and so not to be the odd unit out, I labeled it with with a Whirlpool logo nameplate on the face of the door. Now everything matches perfectly and all in the same exact color white too.

Just measured and marked where the plate was to be located, cleaned that part of the surface, peeled the backing and carefully placed the logo name plate in place and pressed it on. Voila. Done and looks original as well. Call me the big, deep fakearooski.

Removed the main top glass shelf from the fridge,slide meat drawer shelf into the side of the glass main shelf.Thats it,you can then install your meat drawer into the new meat shelf bracket.

Just took the entire glass shelf of refrigerator out and flipped over. I then slid the replacement rack on and replaced in refrigerator and slid the deli drawer on to rack. Very simple. Took maybe 3-4 minutes.
