25331439102 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

The retainer bar was missing from a refrigerator in our rental property. A tenant had broken it and thrown it out. I found the model # on the appliance and looked up the parts diagram on the PartsSelect website and found what I needed. I placed the order one day and had the parts 2 days later! Unpacking was the hardest part. The parts just snapped together to make up the complete retainer unit. Then I just fit the unit onto the formed clips on the door shelf. I'd cosider this a " simple" job.

I installed new end caps brackets with bars by putting them in place. Now the refrigerator looks new again. These parts were installed in the door, which was broken/missing. This prevented a person from being able to store anything in the refrigerstor door until it was fixed.

These were easy pop in pieces so no tools were needed. Very easy and quick. What I liked best about PartSelect.com was the pictures and labeling used in order to select the correct part. That was my biggest concern. It only took me about 15 minutes to find and buy the parts I needed.

Received 3 parts. Snapped them together. Attached them to fridge door.

Snapped the broken end caps off the rail; snapped on the new ones; snapped the assembled rail/end caps into the door. It was a snap.

Thrilled to realize I didn't have to replace the entire bracket ($$) but was able to buy this inexpensive end cap, remove the cracked one and snap this new one in place. Inexpensive, fast and easy as pie. No tools needed. Good as new.

Replaced broken section

Took out the old tabs that broke off (left inside the retainer bar) with a butter knife - just lifted very gently the ends to slip out the broken off old pieces then replaced with new pieces (pressed lifted sides back down with side of butter knife and then snapped back into door of fridge gently it will pop snap back in - So very very easy to do - should have done this years ago instead of living with taped ends and waiting until husband had time-smiles fridge looks new again do not wait - just do it order the pieces u need and you will be very happy U did

Shipped quick. Assembled by hand. Mounted and tested operational.

I followed the instructions in the video associated with the part that I ordered. The video was perfect and described everything I needed to do clearly. Repair is 100% successful!

Removed old fan motor and installed new one.Not much room for big hands back there.Flexible extensions valuable on this job.

The website said 60% of people with same refrigerator problem solved the problem with a new fan kit. I received the fan kit within 3 days of ordering. Was shipped from Fresno, CA to Long Beach, WA. The fan kit was to be installed behind rear panel in the freezer compartment. When I removed the old fan motor, I noticed the shaft turned harder than the new fan motor, suggesting a problem with the old fan motor. I plugged in the obvious fan motor power bundle with no problem. The instructions and diagram with the kit nearly steered me wrong. Instructions, diagram and splices with the kit instructed to cut the "extra" wire bundle and splice "similar" wires (should have said same color wires). Luckily, I ignored those instructions when I remembered the U-Tube video depicted the extra wire bundle was to be inserted into a factory penetration in the back panel, facing the freezer compartment. This power bundle is for adding an ice maker, which my refrigerator did not have. When reassembled and the refrigerator restarted, I could immediately feel forced air in the refrig, where there was no flow before fixing. I observed that all the refrig and freezer dials do is act like a valve to increase or decrease air flow to the compartments. The dials have no mechanical or electrical connections, just designed to divert air flow from across the cold 'evaporator' fins. I recommend other consumers to remember carefully what they see in the video and watch again if stumped during the job. The video was better than the instructions which may have been written in China or India. I am happy. Repair was a lot cheaper than a new refrigerator and I would not have bought another Frigidaire. Thanks to this website. r. andersen

remove food, then the shelf, then use a hot air gun to defrost and loosen the back panel, then remove the panel, then defrost the coil and thermostat area. using wire tools, replaced the defrost thermostat,and re-assembled freezwr and test

Went on line to PartSelect, found and ordered the part. It was here in two days. I removed the old shelf, inserted the new and the frig was as good as new. I was extremely pleased with the ease in identifying the part and the speed of delivery.

Replaced end cap. Very easy fix. Only took a couple of minutes.
