36366122910 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

shut down power- removed plastic covering in refrigerator -installed new part- This has been installed for about 1 week and as of today every thing is working fine. This problem would occur about every 1-2months. So I will not really know for sure until some time goes by

I visually inspected the compressor and narrowed down the source of the noise to the freezer area. Then I removed the doors and the screws securing the divider panel. Next I removed the bottom panel of the freezer, the styrofoam insullation panel and the evaporator motor. The motor is mounted between two grommets. I replaced the grommet facing the fan blades. The aluminum reflector below the styrofoam insulation panel had also come loose. I reattached it and reassembled the refrigerator in reverse order. The noise is gone!

Pliers only needed if the bar ends needs to be straightened. Attach clips to bar and clip on to the door.

Removed old defrost heater, cut wire then put heat shrink tubeing on wire,spliced wires slid tubing over splice applyed heat. JOB NONE

Turned refrigerator off, removed freezer door, removed plastic bottom of freezer. Used hair dryer to defrost freezer elements. Unplugged broken freezer element and plugged in new element. Saved $65.00 by doing it myself.

-- Hardest part was removing the section to get into the Defrost Thermostat. Used a hand scraper to push plastic piece back wards (39 in parts diagram) once pushed back about 1/4" it then pops up and can come out (towards the front). Noticed that the evaporator was full of ice and the fan was working). Replaced Thermostat after defrosting evaporator... works like a charm.
