10651159110 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Thought I was going to have to replace entire ice bin but went on this website and saw I only needed to replace a coupling. Even had video on how to do it. Easy greasy!!

i first removed the ice maker and took the motor assembley off. Right away i saw the problem. The wheel which drives the arm broke.
Once i get the new motor modl i just replaced it (it just pops into place with 1 or 2 screws).
put ice maker back in freezer and wola. Starting cranking out ice within 15 minutes.

Tough part was diagnosing the problem: bad water inlet solenoid, frozen inlet line, bad ice maker motor, or door opening sensor? Went to a parts shop & discussed the problem with the serviceman. He said you just need to sequentially replace each part. No way say I, that could cost $300 with a no-part return option.

I decided to replace the motor...Eureka!! It worked.
The underside of the ice maker cartridge has a plastic snap clip on either side of the cartridge. You need push each up, pull the left side of the cartridge out part way & disconnect the electrical connector on the right side(left..you facing the refrig.) With the cartridge out simply remove the 5 screws from the motor plate of the left side & replace with the new one.
Very simple. Slide the cartridge back in the frig. until the 2 snap clips click. Voila...you done! Cost $86..not $300. Apparently the motor is too weak to do the job & burns out quickly. Manufacturer should correct this defect.

A very cold and brittle switch in a 17 year old fridge. Used screwdrivers to pry out with some resistance Had to cut the molded plug in half and split wires, because replacement contacts were farther apart than the original. End result, works great.

Turn off water supply. Remove cardboard cover. Loosen metal supply line. Remove valve from edge of refrigerator. Remove electric connection, plastic water line and main supply line. Install new valve in reverse order... check for leaks.

I removed the ice bin and on the bottom of it I removed 1 screw. I put the washer and drive lug on and reattached the screw. It was so simple I thought I surely left something off. It has worked fine since.

Extemely easy to install. I just found the model number on ther refridgerator, ordered the part, the part was shipped very fast, installed the Coupling with a small screw driver in less than 5 minutes! I saved myself a lot of money! I am a female and it was very easy to do!

Just like the video showed me.It still does not work. Have to turn it off and on to make it start up.I also replaced thermostat in freezer. Does not work.

I noticed that the refrigerator was having trouble maintaining temperature. Thought it might be time for new one until I found out that a new frig was $5k to $7K. Just happened to notice that the light switch didn't look quite right (was not sitting sqaure to the door). Once I pressed it it came loose. I then realized the the lights were staying on (50 watts of heating). Replaced the switch and the frig started working like new.

After disconnecting the electricity. I followed the instructions as indicated in the "HOW TO" article on the website. I used a steel putty knife and pried the light switch out of its retaining hole. I worked the right side the most since this is the side with the retaining clip. After I removed the switch I transferred the two electrical outlets to the new switch and easily snapped it into place. Engaged the electric power and tested the switch.

disconnected el. power to fridge. pried out broken switch with small screwdriner and pulled out w/water pump pliers. installed new switch and pressed into opening.

First I lifted the ice bucket out of the refrigerator, the broken coupling fell out in three pieces. I ordered a new coupling {$14 including shipping) It arrived 4 days later. I removed the phillips screw and installed the new coupling along with the flat washer that had fallen out. The repair took 5 minutes and saved a lot of money.

The ice dispenser stopped turning for crushed/cubed ice out the chute. Turned out it was this little $10 metal coupling part that broke apart. I'm guessing its not an unusual problem because the partSelect part was redesigned to be thicker than the original part to help prevent it from happening. I was very impressed with the superiour quality of the replacement part.

Part was easy to order, delivered quickly, installation very easy. Just unplug the unit, pop out the old swich using a screwdriver, disconnect and reconnect leads and pop switch back in. Definitely recommend that you can do it too.

Great service. Unpluged old switch and pluged in new one. Works great
