Temperature Sensor

★★★★★

1 Review

Fix Number FIX304103

Manufacturer Part Number WR55X10025

The temperature sensor, also referred to as a thermistor, is used to monitor the refrigerator and freezer internal temperatures. The sensor is a small capsule like device that is protected by a white plastic casing. The sensor sends the temperature reading to the control board, which uses this information to turn on the compressor and fan circuits. If this part is malfunctioning it may inaccurately signal the control board to turn off these components, resulting in warmer than normal temperatures in the fresh food and freezer sections. This part can break from material fatigue through normal use, and will need to be replaced when this happens. You will find this part attached to the evaporator and control housing in your appliance. This OEM part measures roughly 1.25 inches with 18-inch long wire leads. For this repair, you will need a 1/4 inch nut driver, a pair of strippers and crimpers, and a pair of wire splice connectors.

Fresh food section not cooling

Online info suggested thermal sensor was the issue (coils cleaned, fans functional). I ordered the part and received it in 2 days. Finding the sensor was the issue. I removed the shelves, then removed a temp control knob, the lights and the protective panel covering them. I removed a long white panel (no screws), removed two panels (one with 2 screws, one with three screws. The thermal sensor was behind the last panel removed. The cooling coils with the thermal sensor were covered with a styrofoam like device. Used a hair dryer to melt the ice. The new sensor was then put in place as per other videos on this topic. It took longer to melt the ice then to remove the panels giving access to the sensor. All in all a pretty easy repair. BTW, refrigerator is working fine (0-2F in freezer, 37F in fresh foods side).

Bake element replacement

1. Turn of over power at the breaker.
2. Remove bake element cover. There's 2 quarter inch nuts.
3. Disconnect old element. For me there was not much play in the wires so when I disconnected the old element I lost the wire in the insulation. If this happened you can remove the central plate cover on the back of the oven and you can easily find the wires again.
4. Connect the replacement element.
5. Screw the bake element cover back in.
6. Turn power back on. Read more...

Ice Maker

★★★★★

4 Reviews

Fix Number FIX1993870

Manufacturer Part Number WR30X10093

The ice maker assembly makes ice by filling the tray with water from the inlet valve, freezing it until solid cubes are formed, and then ejecting them into the ice bucket. This process will repeat until the bucket has reached capacity. If your fridge is no longer making ice, the assembly may need to be replaced. This is a genuine OEM replacement that measures 10 inches by 5 inches in size and will make seven crescent shaped pieces of ice each cycle. The kit is mainly made of white plastic, and includes a 4-pin round plug-in connector, a 6-post plug-in connector, tube, and fill cup. Depending on your frequency of use, the ice maker may need to be replaced every three to ten years. Regular wear and tear is the main reason this part may need to be replaced but be mindful of accidental damage.

Light Switch

Fix Number FIX8758429

Manufacturer Part Number WR23X10725

The light switch in your refrigerator is used to turn the light on and off when the fridge door opens or closes. This is considered a closed switch, which means that when the fridge door depresses the button there is no continuity and the light turns off. When the fridge door opens and the button is released, there is continuity, and the light turns on. If the light in your fridge is not burned out but will not come on, the switch may need to be replaced. This genuine OEM replacement light switch is spring loaded and made of a white plastic. This is an easy repair that will require a flat blade screwdriver and a pair of needle nose pliers to complete the job. Since you will be working with electrical components, please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your fridge before beginning this repair.

Dispenser Door Assembly or Flapper

★★★★★

1 Review

Fix Number FIX964304

Manufacturer Part Number WR17X11653

This is a genuine OEM replacement door flap for the ice maker in your refrigerator. This part goes by many different names, including door recess assembly, ice door assembly, dispenser door, ice chute door kit, ice chute door, or dispenser door flap. The flapper provides a seal that prevents warm room temperature air from entering the freezer. When the lever is pushed, this flap opens to dispense ice. Over time and with regular use the seal can fail, which can result in frost building up around the dispenser, or the ice maker will not be able to maintain a cool enough temperature to make ice. To complete this repair, you will need a Philips screwdriver and a small flat blade screwdriver. As you will be working with electrical components, please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your refrigerator before beginning this repair.

micro switch failed - water would not shut off

I watched the video and replaced the switch. It took me about 15 minutes to remove the escutcheon, and about 30 seconds to replace the switch. I was careful because I didn't want to damage the clips on the back of the escutcheon so I went slowly. The water dispenser works properly now. I replaced the ice maker door flapper because it was really cheap and I already had it apart. It took about 10 seconds to replace. The parts came really fast (2 days) and the videos are great.

Water Dispenser would not dispense water

Watched installation video and read other comments and instructions by others who changed part. Turned water off at the main in my utility room. There is a valve behind the unit in the supply line, but was not sure of the reliability of the old valve (11 years) having read about it online and problems with it. Figured if I didn't open and close valve could save myself aggravation of old and perhaps leaky valve. Turned on a couple taps to release water pressure so I didn't have to deal with pressure at supply tubes. Unplugged unit. Did not have 5/16 nut drive, so removed screws with pliers from lower cover and lifted out. Found dual inlet water valve readily and removed screw retaining unit. Disconnected electrical connections. One was sticky and used pliers to pull off connecter taking care not to pull on wires. Took out water lines by depressing connnectors. Had towel handy to catch minimal drips. Used utility knife to trim supply lines by 1/2 inch before reinserting to ensure square seating. Attached electrical leads and inserted water lines and reattached to frame. Turned on water and no leaks. Took minute to vacuum dust from motor at bottom right of unit and other accumulations inside to promote cooling and function. Replaced cover on unit. However, this did not fix problem. Did additional search online and found thread that noted frozen water line in freezer door because of design flaw. Used hair dryer inside and outside freezer door along line a few times being careful not to melt plastics. After doing a few times, water came back on. I think it was a combination of replacing the valve and thawing the line that returned the water dispenser to functioning properly. I like this site and have used before on this fridge to replace heater in freezer compartment. Figure I have saved several hundred dollars and time and necessity of waiting on repairman for something I can do. Will always consult this site if I have an appliance problem. Read more...
