106708764 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

I put the end caps on the shelf bar and popped them into the slots on the refrigerator door. Very easy.
Good experience ordering from PartSelect. Glad I could make repair with minimal expense.

Part # had been replaced with another timer. Original timer had 2 wires coming out of it. Replacement only had 1 wire. Instructions showed 2 options for where to place the wire. I chose option 2 and I guess I was right. Installation took less than 15 minutes and refridge is back to normal. (Quiet)

Bimetal Defrost Thermostat: Per enclosed instructions. Defrost Timer: Per enclosed instructions. Working fine now ! Right parts, delivered right on time and very good instructions.

I just followed the enclosed instructions

On the left side I unscrewed the screw and replace it with a new one . The right side in had to take s file and file of the rivet. You can use a rivet gun or a metal screw to replaced the clip. Once it is finish open the refrigerator door to see how to line the kick plate into the clip. A piece of cake.

Tried cleaning drain and defrosting and wire around heater element into drain line. Kept freezing up. Noticed I could not get the heater to come on ? Resistance through heater was 34 ohms. I knew thermostat was ok because temp in fridge and freezer ok. So the only things left were Bi-Metal and defrost timer. I cut wires from Bi-Metal and used water seal wire nut to install. I removed timer and thermostat tray from fridge area and removed defrost timer and installed new one and reinstalled tray. Instructions said to make sure timer not in defrost cycle, but did not say how to tell. So I finally moved the timer wheel on back of timer to a position that the old one had and reinstalled and compressor came on and started running. I checked the freezer compartment later that day and heater was on and ice melting and water in drain area.

This problem can be caused by 3 different part failures. Timer, thermostat or heater. After contacting a service repair shop I was told that most often it is the thermostat. The cost of the repair would be at least $115. To much for an old refer. So I ordered the part from Partselect for $33. and put it in myself. Step1 cut the power to the refer. Step2 remove ice maker if you have one. Step3 remove base and back panels in the freezer. Step4 the coils were badly frozen so I used a hair dryer to thaw it out. Would have waited a long time for it to thaw out otherwise. Step5 The thermostat is clipped on to copper tubing next to the coils. Unclip it and cut the wires close to the thermostat. Strip the wires and wire nut the new thermostat. Clip it back on to the copper tubing. Put it all back together and start it up. It's over a week know and no problems. Note: We have whirlpool appliances that are over 16 years old. I have repaired the washer, oven, and now the refer with parts from Partselect. Good company. Always received the correct part within about 3 days from ordering. If you are able to do the work yourself you can save big bucks and keep your appliances running longer. Good Luck

unpluged refrigerator. removed panel in front of fan. Removed the fan motor. Installed the new fan kit. Replaced the panel in front of fan. Pluged the refrigerator back in. The refrigerator runs a 100 percent better

R/R part, 3 screws reconnect 3 wires. easy.

Unplugged the refrigerator then removed two vertical screws on the very back back of the control panel (the ones with the washers). Do not remove the four other vertical screws in the panel. The front plastic plate on control panel snaps off and there are two horizontal screws under the plate. Remove them and the control panel will drop down allowing access to the light switch. Unplug the two wires (one black and one white) from the old switch. Discard the old switch, snap the new one into place and reconnect the two wires. Snap the front plastic plate back into place, plug in the refrigerator and you are done! Problem solved with a new $16.00 switch and saved at least $75.00 or more from an appliance repair call. Thanks Part Select!

Remove back cover of freezer compartment; Remove old fan assembly, new fan terminals did not exactly match old one so I had to remove one of the terminals from old fan and attach it to new fan/ then install new assembly and repaced freezer cover

Talked to local appliance repair tech, who explained how to manually turn timer with a screw driver and listen to the switch go from on to off.

Took socket out and replace it with new one. Very easy. W saved alot of money doing it ourself.

taped the door shut ,measured a block of wood and stuck it under the door for support.....unbolted bottom hinge,slipped on hinge bracket and reassembled.no muss no fuss.

I did the repairs in the following order: First, replaced the Defrost Timer Kit. Let it run for a day. However, no change with the refrigerator defrosting the freezer. Second, I replaced the defrost timer kit. After about an hour or so, the fan in the freezer turned off for the first time in a very long time. However, the defrost cycle wasn't running long enough to defrost the mess the freezer had created so I manually ran the defrost a few times. However, things were quite back to normal just yet. I then decided to check to see whether any water was dripping onto the drip pan and found out it wasn't. I took apart the compartments in the freezer and removed all the ice that had formed underneath. I then ran the hair dryer onto the drip hole in the back of the freezer. After about 25 mins or so, I used a small 6-7 in copper wire which I made from an old hanger using a wire cutter. I then ran this wire through the drip hole several times until the water started to drip onto the pan once again. I then dried up the mess from the ice and put everything back together in the freezer. Since then, my freezer has been working like new. I spent about 40 bucks on the parts plus total time of 2 1/2 hours for all the work I performed. Hope you have the same success that I did.
