36368662890 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

Checked the defroster coil which is located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment, it was still working. Followed the schematics down to the defrost timer, which is located in the lower front of the refrigerator and tried that. Plugged in the new part and the problem is solved.

Fairly easy I pull the fridge foward and remove the backing board and notice the fan wasn't working, so I remove the fan and bench tested and it was burned then I clean the condenser with compress air if you don't have air then a vacuum cleaner works then once the part arrived I install it the now if working very good

Just snapped in.

removed the inside fridge electrical panel and swapped switches

It went great! Parts ordered were exactly what I needed. Installation was quick and easy and everything working perfectly.

1) This is a built-in refrigerator with the compressor, coils, etc. at the top. Turn off the breaker to the fridge. 2) Remove the front panel off the top (just push up and pull out). 3) Removed 2 screws to the old timer and carefully remove the plug. Plug the new timer in and screw in. 4) Since our fridge was heavily frosted up, we moved everything to another refrigerator and coolers and kept the refrigerator off until all panels were room temperature. 5) If you haven't cleaned the coil in a while, vacuum it with a soft brush attachment. 6) Turned back on and the refrigerator is cooler than ever!

easy pry out, disconnect wiring, connect on new switch and press in switch.

I took it right out of the framed box to keep the gasket in shape and snapped it back on the gasket mount on the freezer door it took 5 minutes or less perfect fit

repalaced the old one with the new one. easy

Removed ice cube tray and fan cover using a cross-tip screwdriver. Old air duct foam had been damaged by defrosting meat and made entire refrigerator smell. Part easily slides out and slid in knew foam. Replaced with new air duct foam after thoroughly cleaning refrigerator by sliding it into place, replacing fan cover and ice cube tray. Hardest part of entire replacement was cleaning refrigerator. The actual replacement of the part took less than 15 minutes.

quick and simple--removed the old one and slid new part in on same support pins.I had the new part via UPS LESS THAN 24 HRS.FROM THE TIME I PLACED THE ORDER! THANKS, SOMEONE IS REALLY ON THE BALL.

I started removing the switch by prying on the right side with a screwdriver, when it emerged enough I used pliers to finish removing it. I then unpluged rhe wires from the bad switch and pluged them on the new switch and "poped" it into the hole.

Connected the 2 wires and pushed in the switch until it clicked.

per your instructions

Removed lower and rear panels in freezer. Coils were completely iced over. Thawed coils with hair dryer using towels to absorb water. Cut the 2 wires (orange and yellow) of the thermostat unclipped and removed it. Cut short the wires of the new thermostat. Spliced new wires with remaining old ones using the wire nuts (2). Wrapped the splices with the electrical tape and clipped the new thermostat back into place. In the fridge section removed the box which holds the light socket, temp setting dial, etc. Inside unclipped the main connector which powers the light in order to remove the entire box. Unclipped existing defrost timer using the needle nosed pliers to gently wedge the clip away from the timer. Connected new timer and reassembled unit. Problem was really the thermostat, I decided it might be a good idea to replace everything, would have replaced the heater but I tested it for continuity and it was good.
