GB2526LEKS5 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Very easy.... no tools required everything just snapped into place didn't need all parts ordered but return for credit real easy.. All in all a very smooth experience. Followup emails gives great sense of confidence that help will be there if needed

Used screw driver to pop out old switch. Used pliers to hold wire connection from fall back into slot on fridge. Inserted new swith into plug and pressed new switch back in place.

My owners manual said to unplug fridge from elec outlet, use a kitchen knife to gently pry off the switch plate
(manual had a pictoral example), unclip the two wire, replace with on new switch and replace the switch. Close
door and plug back in. Open door to check that the lite
works. Walla! It did. Thanks!

The leftover broken piece of the rail was removed from the crisper shelf supporting brackets and the new replacement installed in place using the front and rear tabs inserted into the crisper support bracket. Both crisper drawers now slide in and out properly.

Popped the old one out with a kitchen knife and popped the new one back in. It tool less than 15 seconds!!

just had to slide the new part into place

I removed the drawers, glass shelf and the old frame. I had to remove several parts from the old frame and reinstall on the new one. It took a couple of minutes to figure out how to remove one part by prying with a small screwdriver. Otherwise, everything was straightforward.

First all product had to be removed in order to remove glass top that cover the crisper drawers, then removed both drawers and thenremoved the broken Crisper Frame Center Rail and installed the new part. Even with cleaning everything and putting it back together the whole job was only about twenty minutes of work time. Best thing of all was the price for the part, I will try to use PartSelect item for any other repairs I do on my appliancce!!

This is definitely one of the easiest, most rewarding projects I've ever done! From the point of easy ordering to receipt of the part in just two days (!!!!), opening the box was probably more effort than clipping the part in place! I'm keeping partselect on my favorites list!

Please bear in mind I am 65 years old & it was harder to get up & down off the floor then to change the switch. Was very easy - watched video, unplugged unit. I used the putty knife at the right front corner to work loose, when it came loose had to loose the left side a little. The unit pulled out easily. detached the wired that had a single plug with 2 prongs on it. Attached the plug, pushed new switch into place. There was no way you could place wires on wrong prong. When done, plugged refrigerator back in & checked if working. I CAN SEE THE LIGHT and the food in the freezer now. Thank you for making an easy repair.

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

I had several times tried to get the old switch out but with no success. Ordered the "repair kit" and followed directions for removing old switch (there is a plastic spring clip on one side). Easy to unplug the old switch, plug the leads into the new one, snap the new one into place. Took about 5 minutes total--piece of cake. I wish I'd thought to try this years ago when the old switch began to fail.

Removed food from refrigerator shelf, removed shelf from fridge, removed broken parts, cleaned everything (yuck), snapped on new parts - no instructions required. Now that I don't have to look at those cracked and broken parts every time I open the door, I no longer hate my refrigerator.

Replaced the center rail

Removed crisper drawers and the crisper frame. Then removed the glass shelf from the frame and also the plastic front piece and the metal rod that adds stability to the frame. Those last two items required a screw driver and pliers. Inserted the metal bar into the new frame, popped on the front piece, and installed frame in frig. Put in center rail, then glass top, and then put in crisper drawers.
