AC10 - Instructions

I knew the chances of all the freon leaking out was unlikely so I looked at the wiring to the compressor and there was a capacitor and a starter/overload so i figured I would start there. I went on line and found the parts at this site and they were less than the minimum service call charge for a service tech so I figured what the heck let's give her a shot so I did give it a shot. I ordered the parts and they were there in less time than a service tech could come out and i installed the parts and guess what for 90.00 in parts and 15 minutes in time I repaired my refrigerator. Thanks guys, It took less time to order the parts than it did to make the repair so thanks, your website rocks and is very well designed so my hat is off to you guys!

ordered new part, removed old unit, noted where wires connect, installed new one, done.

changed the starter connected to the compressor

took cover off, installed bulb.
lost the owners manual,
part select's schematics were very helpful
thanks

i had used your web site before and i read several problems that your readers had. i went to the back of the unit, removed the bottom cover and right there the i found the run capacitor and i chaged it. since i had only ordered this part to save money i went back and ordered the Start Device which when i took it off it was completely burned. the replacement part came labeled with 2 different compressor #, so i picked the one that i had and unpluged each wire. the part may differ from the one that it's in the unit but it worked when i pluged everything back on. it also helps to take a picture of everything before removing the wires in case you have to leave it and come back later. i hope to use this refrigerator another 10 years. thank you all for your help.

change light bulbs

pulled switch from door ,unpluged it and then plued in new switch.

I received the part the very next day which was awesome, but when I went to install it, there was a connection discrepency on the back of the switch, and the screw holes were completely off in the front where it connects to the unit. I ended up taking the whole thing apart to try to put the old face with the right screw holes on the new part and ruined it.

I needed Whirlpool part #1167617 but it is discontinued. Also Canada Whirlpool will not deliver it to the US, and Home depot parts doesn't have it. They told me to Google it. After Googling the part number a few times, it brought me to this site and showed me a picture of the knob on an inch graph. I'd already measured the actual hole on my part. After speaking to a customer service person who said I could return the part if it didn't fit, I ordered. It was delivered in two days and fit like a glove. So if you still have this older unit air conditioner that still works and you want to use it a little longer, PartSelect knob #BT3075631 will replace Whirlpool knob part #1167617. Cosmetically, it's a little bigger on the outside but fits and works nicely.

Removed old knob--already off because it was broken. Put new knob on. No problems because it was an easy fix. Delivery was quick.

I accidently broke the knob on our air conditioner. I unplugged the unit and removed the broken pieces and made sure that the actual on-off switch was not broken. Ordered the part from PartSelect.com and in three days had my replacement knob, opened the package and installed the new knob, and turned on the air conditioner. This was the fastest and easiest repair ever.

We have a place that has window units of heat and A/C. In Dec. my business partner went down and called that the unit would not turn on, I told him to check the breakers and plug but he had no idea what I was saying. Another couple went to the unit and they had the same problem. I went down, checked the plug and breakers, found no problem, I turned the knob and nothing moved, I pulled the knob and found it cracked and broken. I put plyers to it and turned it on. I ordered the knob from you on line , got it in two days , heater fixed.

****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

Pro tip! Check how many bulbs you need before ordering. Mine only needed two. I got two. I suspect I’ll buy a new microwave before new bulb burns out again. Ordering/delivery was fast. No need to have spare on hand.

I had a son put in the new light bulbs. Rather simple
