59678539803 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

No tools needed. Snapped right into place, easy as could be.

Popped out broken switch with blunt flat edged instrument. Disconnected switch from unit . Plugged new piece in and reinserted into side panel of refrigerator. Very easy.

I followed the video provided by Part Select. I also let the refrigerator stay unplugged overnight with all the doors open. This p-trap kit has fixed the leaks out of the front of the refrigerator. There is no ice build-up in the freezer. Perfect!

Receive part in two days. Super fast.
Repair was very easy. Whirlpool designs so even the "average joe" can fix it. Took abour 20 minutes to repair. Even with no directions.

this pantry lid was warped when the fridge was new. tolerated it for a while finally it cracked then worked pretty well for a couple years until the RH hinge pin (part of a support for the pantry door)broke. I had never bought parts from partselect.com before, but I have in the past bought repair parts from other sites. Partselect.com had drawings of the refrigerator parts that although were a little hard to see were adequate to tell what parts I should order. I ordered the parts, they came in after an acceptable wait. The parts were literally perfect, went right in, and everything is working quite nicely. I am happy with Partselect.com and will probbly go to them first in the future. I actually like the refrigerator a little more now than I did when it was new.

****Make are you order Capacitor & Starter relay too (we ordered separtely so had to pay shipping twice)**** Super easy just open access panel on back near compressor and remove retention clip with fingers, remove & replace both capacitor & starter, put clip and access panel back on, plug in and allow 8 hours to cool! Works like new again! Hope it goes another 10 years

I ordered the part and it arrived in about 5 days. I removed the two lower crisper drawers and the glass shelf seperating these from the Wide-N-Fresh compartment, to give me room to work. I removed the two screws holding the right side endcap in place. The temperature adjustment mechanism was a bit tricky to remove from the broken endcap and replacing it on the new endcap. Once that was figured out everything fell into place and the lid was snapped into place and worked properly

Replaced both sides because they had been reworked to strengthen the hinge portion !! the most important thing to do is to pay attention on how you take it apart and reassemble. Trying to take short cuts only cost you more time taking it apart and doing it again :0) Enjoy

Put new one on matching the sctew feet and design of the grill

Took drawer out and shelf removed old pieces took off rails rescrewed back on new side pieces rescrewed sides back on put drawer back on rails and done very easy and everything fit perfect.

Removed the 3 bottom drawers and shelves. Removed 4 screws from the old parts. Removes the screws from the existing guide rails and transferred them to the new parts. Put everything back in , in reverse order. Just take your time and do not over tighten things.

inst said,"50 pct of the time this calls for new capacitor," so we changed the capacitor. Same prob. It also said,"25 pct of the time it's the bi-metal thermostat" So we ordered it. We removed the plastic rear panel from inside the freezer comp. using small nut driver. Here we found much ICE surrounding the defrost unit, three inches thick. We thawed the whole mess. and the freezer has worked fine ever since. I think my habit of getting ice cubes from the inside container rather than from the ice cube dispenser, had kep t the freezer door open too much, interfering with the normal defrost cycle and allowing ice to build up over time so that it finally defeated the system. My new rule, "get ice cubes only from the front."

The switch fix but did not fix the problem. I assumed the wires go on the same way as on the old switch. Is it possible if one light Burns out, the other will not work either?

Removed the access panel on back of unit located the Run Capacitor on the compressor and removed the bad one and put the new one on and pugged refrigerator back in and it started up and works fine now

Removed cover ,two veggie bins, glass glass shelf, all took 10 min. It took longer to wipe clean every thing I installed the new end cap with 3 screws, I had to add one of my own as the factory only used 2 the rear one was not installed.it didn't matter.One thing that I didn't like was the parts came with no info, but my 40 years of working for air lines made the job easy for me.
