25344823600 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

simple replacement

Push release button, pull out filter cartridge . Replace with new cartridge.

I pushed the button on the filter holder to release the filter by pushing it out of the holder pulled it out all the way and put the new one in. The whole prosses took five seconds.

Remove lower cardboard refrigerator panel. Carefully pull existing cracked fan blade off of the motor shaft and replace with new fan blade. Reinstall cardboard panel.

Took off cover, unplugged wires, removed old motor, mounted new motor, remounted new motor and replaced cover.

Now need a new control board for same model.

1st Turn off power. Removed freezer racks. Removed access panel to bottom back of freezer. Disconnect the wire harness to fan motor. Use 5/16 nut driver for removing fan motor from support. Removed fan blade from motor and put fan blade on the new fan motor. Bought new fan blades, but new fan blade would not work on new motor. Spring mount would fit on new fan blades, so I use the old one. Installed everything in reverse. Put everything back. Place thermometer in freezer. Freezer cooled down to -10F in 10 minutes. Great save on this one because I bought this freezer off of Facebook marketplace. Saved me $250. Good thing I know about fixing refrigeration equipment. Easy day.

A little research told me the hum plus no cooling was either the compressor or the relay. I ordered the new relay and put it in but it didn't fix the problem. I ended up having to buy a new fridge, but it was worth the $30 gamble to see if I could fix it on the cheap and it saved me the money a service call would've cost. Pretty easy installation, just in a tight space on my model.

Following previous installation instructions was very useful. Would add that the nut driver needs to be 1/4 in and to release the water lines from the valve body, simply squeeze the blue ring toward the valve and pull on the water lines at the same time. Simple fix!

The first order arrived in a huge box and there was no scew to be found, the box had wholes in it. I was given a refund and told to order again.



The repair did not happen and the set screw which was actually recieved the second time was returned because it was the wrong size.

Had to hold the new filter element cartridge whilst wrestling the refrigerator into place. Whew!

took outthr old one and put in the new one

It is very easy..........push button on the exissting filter. It removes easly, then insert new one. Remember to run the water for 3 minutes before next use. It took about 5 minutes.

Replaced water filler. Easy

Removed the water filter cover and then removed the water filter in place, and replaced with the new filter, replaced the cover. Repair done, less than 2 minutes.

Removed the old, installed the new one and finally figure out we had to press the reset button.
