61004756 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

The actuator rubber pad had hardened over time so that it wouldn't allow the solenoid to retract and stop the flow. To fix: Turn off fuse to fridge. Removed the screws on fountain faceplate. Remove faceplate. Unscrew fountain computer assembly (2 or 3 screws) to access the actuator pad from behind. Unplugged the computer ribbon. Replace black actuator pad.

It works fine now.

Followed included instructions. Thank you.

My dryer will not say hot. When I turn on the dryer, the flame will turn on but seconds later it turns off. I researched through various sites on the internet and decided my gas coils needed to be replaced. Well, that didn't work so I am currently ordering a ignitor assembly to try and fix the problem......wish me luck

First we ordered a new solenoid. . . The little piece that opens and closes whenever you push the button to dispense ice. That definitely needed to be replaced, and it was easy to do. However, that didn't fix the problem, so we looked and looked at the assembly and decided that a spring was missing. We ordered the spring, and when it arrived, we found that it matched exactly one that was already on the assembly. :-) Not the problem. Thirty minutes later we figured it out,. The diagrams at part select were not helpful with this. It was a matter of figuring out how the magnetic weight fit into the assembly. That's all it was! Now we have an extra spring for the future.

The original ice door was deteriorated because of age (12 yrs). This caused humid outside air to enter the ice chute and resulted in a buildup of ice in and around the chute. Ice coming out of the reservoir was impeded and got stuck constantly in the chute. I ordered a new ice door kit and it installed easily. Then I noticed the ice door actuator pad was worn so I ordered that. things are working better now. One thing I learned, If you are replacing parts in a component of a 12 year old refrigerator, replace everything in that component at the same time. Otherwise you will order three different times and pay the shipping fee three times. You learn by experience. PartsSelect was very prompt in sending the parts that I needed. The schematics on the website made it very easy to order what I needed. I just should have ordered everything at once. Next time I will know better. Thanks for what you do.

I unplugged the refrigerater, then proceeded to remove the three screws that hold the dispenser face in position. When I lifted the dispenser face out of the way, I removed the remaining two screws that held the dispenser actuator pad in place. I lifted the unit away and turned it over. No need to unplug any cables. I simply lifted the old pad away, replacing it with the new pad. I re-assembled everything in the order in which I took it apart. Plugged the fridge back in. Tested the new actuator. Problem solved!

We followed the directions in the video on the Parts Select website.My husband thought it was so easy and he isn't handy. I agree.
