25331437100 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

1. I took out one screw on the ice maker and loosened the other two screws and unplugged and removed the ice maker.
2. Next I took out 2 screws from the bottom of the auger drive box and unplugged the wiring harness and removed the box. The wiring harness was a little tricky. The lock on the plug pushes in to unlock even though it looks like it pulls out,.
3.next you must remove 2 screws from the left side bracket that holds the auger box and remove the bracket.
4.Now take out 8 screws that hold the back panel in place and remove the back panel.
5. now your looking at the evaporator fan blade and motor. The simple way to replace the fan blade is to unplug the motor and remove it from the freezer. It just sits in with nothing holding it. The fan requires a little pressure but should pull right off. Install new fan blade and put everything back in the same order it was removed.

Unplug, remove 2 screws off back panel inside the freezer. Cut wires on old one and crimped in new one. Light to melt the shrink wrap that came with it. Pretty easy.

The bulb has a plastic clear cover. That cover can just be carefully removed using a screwdriver. It's held in by a metal bracket. After you remove the cover. You'll just need to replace the bulb and then re-install the cover and bracket.

I had to cut the replacement bars to the correct length. But everything else was easy. The quality of the repacement bars is much better than the originals. Thanks!

Unscrewed the broken part, lined up the new door handle and screwed it on. Easy Peasy! I'm a 78 year old grandmother.

removed freezer door and installed the new one. This was a pretty easy thing to do, although putting the old handle on the new door was a challenge. No knowing that there is a plastic piece holding the top of the handle i broke the that piece and had to order another one. Mean while the freezer was making alot of frost inside, so that had to be cleaned after the new part came.

Removed old , assembled and popped in new.Perfect!

I purchased a left and right end cap and the bar but I ended up with 2 right end caps of different sizes. Partselect happily accepted my return and shipped the correct part. I hadn't had a bottom condiment shelf for over 4 years. It's nice to have one now. It was easy. Just popped on one end cap, slid the bar on, slid on the other end cap (had to force a little) and popped on that end cap. Voila! new shelf.

I just slid the end of the cap on the end. REAL EASY...Now I can use my shelf again.

Removed the broken end cap piece from the shelf retainer bar. You need to pry up the little metal tabs with a screwdriver to remove the end cap, then slide in the new one and crimp down the tabs with the pliers. super easy. Replacement part was identical so it fit perfectly.

snapped shelf end cap in place, now my wine bottles don't fall on the floor when you open the fridge door!

Thawed out freezer, I recommend laying a couple old towels in freezer to soak up melted ice. Replaced old thermostat with new part. Removed 2 screws, removed back plate, unplugged 2 connectors and cut 2 wires. Crimped in new thermostat and repositioned to original part location. Reconnected plugs as I reinstalled back plate. Installed 2 screws and connected power. Works like new! Trouble shooting and part installation video is very helpful, great site!

Ordered a new evaporator fan motor and watched the repair video supplied by part select on their web site.It was spot on step by step instructions

There were no directions. Everything was self-evident. It was actually impossible to screw up, although the parts did not exactly snap together immediately. A bit of juggling and a bit of careful force (you don't want to break the plastic) was needed, but I prevailed!
