DFSS9VKBASS Refrigerator - Instructions

Went on the Internet to find the installation instructions.

If this repair looks hard then you probably aren't doing it right. The key to doing this fairly easy upper hinge replacement is to pry the metal back off of the swinging panel attached to the door as a first step. Doing so exposes the screws that hold the hinges in the panel, and also the tabs that you must press in to release and remove the hinge covers. I accidentally broke the tabs on both hinge covers removing them, but I discovered that it didn't matter - I was still able to snap them both into place without having to replace them as well. Once you've released the hinge covers slide the panel upwards to reveal the entirety of the hinge, then push the hinge up with a flathead screwdriver so that it slides off of the anchor piece on the door. Slide the replacement part down onto the anchor, slide the swinging panel down and replace the hinge covers. From inside the panel reattach the screws (middle hinge only) and replace the panel parts including the metal back. Whole repair takes about 15 minutes.

Nothing to tell it was just a replacement part that the old part was removed and the new one inserted. Works like a dream Thanks

just had to unscrew old one put the new one in

Used a pair of needle nose pliers and replaced the spring.

Show how to fix it on YouTube so that helped a lot. I ordered a new spring gave all the correct information and the spring was too big that showed up
lol so had to go to Plan B an modified the broken spring lol works great now

In order to remove the condenser fan motor I needed to remove the fan blade. The blade is attached to the shaft with a press fit and there is a spring clamp that squeezes the blade to the shaft. Removing the spring clamp did not allow the fan to slide off the shaft because there must be some type of adhesive used in addition to the clamp. In forcing the blade off the shaft expect to damage the fan blade so that is why it was replaced. Very tight working area and difficult to get the leverage to pull on the blade.
The new blade will push on with a bit of force.

This company has everything!! One simple spring was all I needed. Fast shipping and product was exactly what they said I needed. Took me less than a minute to fix!! I’ll definitely shop here again!!

Once I understand how to remove the old part the rest was very easy .
Had ice in a couple of hours .

Really nothing to say simply replace the old spring with the new one and it’s as good as new

Used pliers to put new spring in place;
Time took about 3seconds and I’m a female. Video provided very helpful.

Replacement ice maker was plug in unit, only needed to remove one screw holding plastic plate that hid plug and wiring. Plugged it in and reattached plate with screw and done!

I took out the old one and put in the new. 15 seconds.

I am 70 and identified the problem and ordered the part. I watched a video lots of times that showed how to... slowing it down to catch details.
It is very easy... and the only problem was that when you are trying to get the assembly out you need a lot of hand strenght that I don't have.
My son easily wriggled and loosened it and out it came. Plug in the wires and pop the new unit in.
Two hours later I heard the delightful sound of ice dropping into the bucket and amazingly the bottom freezer started making ice too!
There is no mention that they are related but it did. We thought the freezer sensor had died but it all works!

You can do it! Best, pb

Called someone else. Got the parts elsewhere.
Got the fridge back online 3 week longer than it should.
got charged for the part then failed to send it.
then finally allowed they didn't have the part in stock.
