All Installation Instructions for Kenmore Refrigerator 59679249013

Water coming from ice dispenser

First found U Tube video of my exact refrigerator, ice maker remove and replace. Many available, all are helpful. Watch several times. Once part arrived the repair went very smoothly. Only had some difficulty attaching the ground wire, had to loosen the auger motor to attach the tiny screw. Not difficult, just took a bit of time to get the angle on the screw correct.

Seal would not stay on, letting cold air out of ice maker - did not make ice.

The old plactic ring can be removed with flat bladed screw driver, starting on the right side prying it up worked best for me. The new seal snaps in only one way take your time to get it wright.

Remove the grate at the back of the refrigerator. Remove the existing drawn tube. Replace the exiting drain tube with the updated drain tube. Check to see if water was draining properly. Replace the grate. Sit back and have a beer.

I had a loose fitting old condensor fan blade on my new motor.

I made a temporary repair by drilling the old blade plastic hub and put a small screw in it to hold it on to the shaft until the new blade arrived. The new blade came in within the two days I needed before Thanksgiving. I removed the old and pushed on the new. There were 8 screws on the back guard and two to hold the motor on. It was a snap.
Thank you PartSelect.com The wife is very, very happy now, we had 51 coming over for Thanksgiving. :)

One of the light bulbs went out on my Whirlpool refrigerator.

I changed the bulb but it still didn’t work. I ordered a bulb holder and replaced it and it works properly now. It was an easy repair, remove the bulb, gently pry the bulb holder out with a screwdriver and snap the new one in.

It was useful that under the description of the part in the catalog, it showed that this part was often used to repair this issue. The service was great and the delivery was fast.
