WRF736SDAW12 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

I used the video step by step. The video showed complete process to swap out the motor. It was very simple to do.

Remove some shelving and have a towel handy. Opened water filter door to expose two 1/4” screws. Removed 2 screws. Placed my hands firmly on upper panel and gently pulled/tugged panel forward and slightly down. Disconnected roof lighting clip. Removed panel from frig. Disconnected both ends from solenoid fill valves by pressing in the colored locking piece to release tubing while pulling tube out. Cut zip ties and removed old leaking reservoir. I also removed the straight reservoir seeing as the part I replace was redesigned and the other one was not needed. Put new zip ties in place. Slid the new part into position and pressed the ends into the solenoid valves. You do not need to press in colored locking pieces, they will self lock. Secured with zip ties. Grabbed a container and filled it up with water through the door to fill and purge and check for leaks. Reconnect light clip, reinstalled top liner and snapped into place. Put screws in. Closed filter door. Took about 15 minutes. I did watch a you tube video prior to attempting this repair myself.

shook bottle and painted waited a day and repeated

Once I got a part that wasn't broken in transit (took them sending it 3 times for that to happen), it was a breeze. Remove old drawer, take tracks off old drawer and place on new drawer. Put new drawer in fridge.

System not cooling. removed back cover and notice fan not rotating. Looked up unit and found diagram. Ordered motor which was received in less than 5 business days.
Replacement was super easy. Just unscrewed from frame, pulled off fan, put fan on new motor and remounted back in frame. Took 10 minutes tops.

Removed old door. Attached new door to two tabs. Done

Lower the filter cover on the refrigerator, twist the old filter to remove it, install the new filter by pushing and twisting it, and close the filter door.
Using a pitcher, run water through the new filter until the excess carbon leavings are out then the water is clear and is drinkable

I followed the instructions in the appliance reference manual, and successfully replaced the water filter in 2 minutes, and reset the water quality indicator.

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

Replaced motor

Open door. Remove broken bin. Replace with new bin.

Eased the putty knife under the edge of the switch housing and pried it off. Pulled two wires off the old terminals and hooked them onto the new one and reinstalled into the refrigerator body.

bulbs were not burnt out. received the new switch in a few days. watch the short video, was good to see how it comes out. used a putty knife to release the defective switch, removed wires put them on the new one and posed the new switch back in. Not bad Part cost $11.00 7 dollars shipping so for 17 bucks it works great. nice to see what is inside the refer!

I thought this was going to be much more difficult than it was. Take the bottom access door off (using a small socket - same size for all screws). Disconnect the plug to the motor. Unscrew the 4 screws holding the motor. Take the motor out. Unscrew the shaft screws on top (only 2) so you can manipulate it if need be up and down or spin it. Insert new motor and make sure shaft is seated correctly into the motor head. Screw motor back in. Screw shaft back in. Plug up motor. Screw bottom door back on. You are done. EASY!! Took me about 10-15 minutes to do. Much easier than most things.

Pried out the old switch and installed the new switch.
