61004754 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

First removed the grill from the fountain. Then removed the 2 screws, raised the escutcheon up and off the fountain assembly. Disconnected the power connection to the escutcheon and laid it aside. Removed the 3 screws holding the fountain assembly and disconnected the power supply from it. Removed the broken door pieces. Removed the 2 screws from the solenoid and replaced with new one and replaced the screws. The instructions said to rotate the spring counter clockwise 1/2 turn but I had to rotate it a full turn (to make the door tight when it closed) and insert the end of the spring in the opening of the fountain bracket. Insert the solenoid plunger into the recess of the door strike (the diagram in the instructions helped because this was the part that was broken and I could not figure out where it went). Then I installed everything back the way I had taken it apart.
I am a 61 year old woman and pretty good at taking things apart and putting it back together. My husband usually lets me fix things because I have more patience than him.
I would like to thank parts select for their packaging of the parts and the included diagram.

Replaced outlet water valve, the job went quite well no problems. The best thing about this repair was able to order the part on line, and have it shiped to my front door,

First I removed the 5 torx head screws that held on the outside panel. Then I unplugged the 2 electrical connectors to the circuit boards, one goes to the touch pad the other is the power. Then I removed the assembly. I only needed the part that holds on the round door but I replaced all the parts that came in the kit.
With the directions that they sent me with the parts, and since I was the one that took it apart. I was able to fix it in about 20minutes and it worked great.

Couldn't believe how easy this was. The pictures you provided were perfect everything went exactly as the instructions said. I had to of saved at least $150.00. I would grade my mechanical skills at about a C+ at best and this was an easy fix.
If I need appliance parts, I now know where to go.

Pulled out ref. removed 3 screws holding the fiber covering. Removed one screw holding the water inlet, disconected the elecrical and the water line from supply and the tubing going to the water filter.
Then connected water lines and the electrical to new inlet, and attached the new inlet back with the one screw, reattached the fiber backing. All Done.

Note: ice cube tray did not fill immediately...air in water line??? However, after short time all works fine.

Removed the front panel and all associated parts from the water and ice on the door.

My husband had taken everything apart and was ready to order a whole new panel. After reading some of the stories on the website of people having the same problem (no ice would come out, water would come out & not stop or splatter everywhere) we decided to start with the part everyone seemed to have ordered. After ordering the part, it arrived faster than I expected, and solved the problem. It helped reading the other stories so we knew what kind of tools were needed and other helpful hints. I have already recommented partselect.com to my sister in law to help with a dishwasher repair.

I removed the outer cover from the door, removed the broken parts, and cleaned the area of debris. After cutting off the power, I replaced the solenoid and door, then prepalce the outer cover. The parts were delivered promptly, and the job when very well.

Replaced flapper, and solenoid per the instructions. It was much easier than I had anticipated. The hardest part was reconnecting the control wire to the front panel. Not much room to get your hands in there, but it finally went together...

Followed instruction provided. Ice door only part required.

Installed solenoid kit.

Ordered the Ice Dispenser Solenoid & Door Kit and replaced the broken door and solenoid - easy with the right parts - FMS

VERY EASY AND WAS INSTALLED IN NO TIME> Many Thanks J

Parts came 2 days after I ordered. Followed the included instructions, removed 4 screws, snapped the new flapper into place, put the screws back and voila - REPAIR COMPLETE!! One of the simplest appliance repairs I could imagine. Thanks Partselect!

I watched video for repair, when the part arrived it was a snap to repair.

The parts just arrived -- wow, I think I've found my favorite parts supplier!!!

Ironically, I had jury rigged a new tab on the ice door by inserting a screw into where the tab snapped off, but it didn't work! As I was taking it apart this time, I realized that the solenoid spring had become unclipped. However, it's nice to have it all back together again and working with new parts!

Thank you -- great packaging, the parts look fantastic, and a great sheet of instructions! I've already repaired my refrigerator (only took about ten minutes) and it's up and running!

Thank you!!
