All Installation Instructions for Kenmore Refrigerator 1069614360

ordered a replacement condenser fan kit. kit motor rotated backwards blowing air out instead of inwards over condenser.

Looked up on youtube. found a guy who said that the shaded pole motors are made in china and rotate backwards. (design flaw) so, he had a 4 minute tutorial on how to reverse the motor and it runs the correct way.

Shelf studs broke several years ago and I had a problem locating them. Finally wised up and checked Part Direct and found them, ordered the kit w/ 12 pieces. Then quickly watched the installation video. Took less than 30 minutes to replace two different studs. Wife is very happy.

Simply took broken pieces of old stud out and replaced with the new ones. Used pliers to adjust them. Replace a freezer stud and a fridge stud.

freezer would not freeze

inst said,"50 pct of the time this calls for new capacitor," so we changed the capacitor. Same prob. It also said,"25 pct of the time it's the bi-metal thermostat" So we ordered it. We removed the plastic rear panel from inside the freezer comp. using small nut driver. Here we found much ICE surrounding the defrost unit, three inches thick. We thawed the whole mess. and the freezer has worked fine ever since. I think my habit of getting ice cubes from the inside container rather than from the ice cube dispenser, had kep t the freezer door open too much, interfering with the normal defrost cycle and allowing ice to build up over time so that it finally defeated the system. My new rule, "get ice cubes only from the front."

Light rocker switch broke and refrigerator light couldn't go on.

I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.
