P1181714WW Caloric Refrigerator - Instructions

Lifted both drawer runners removed the broken post, put new post in place. Job completed in lest than two min.

most parts snap in except for rollers that require a phillips head screw driver. The most amazing thing is the parts were available for a > 15 year old fridge.

Pulled out the refrigerator and removed the two panels from the rear of the refrigerator. Removed the fan held in by four screws and unplugged the connector. Soldered on the original connector, installed the fan to the motor and re-installed the unit into the refrigerator. Then blew out and vaccumed the condenser coils.

Noticed fan wasn't running, remo ved, verified that it wasn't a sensor, ordered new part, installed new part...works like new. Everything is cold again!

I removed two screws holding the assembly. removed the assembly then toke the roller and bracket out of the houseing and replaced with new part. reverse the procedure for installation.

Removed rear cover to see non-operating fan - removed three mounting screws on the motor that were a challenge to access. Swapped fan from old motor onto new motor - one threaded nut on the motor shaft. Spliced new fan wires into fan wires of the wiring harness and mounted with three self-tapping screws supplied with new fan motor. Replaced rear cover and plugged it in! Now the refrigerator cools like new (1981 model side-by-side Admiral)

The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.

Removed the door-the hardest part, placed door on saw horses and removed what seemed to be several hundrded screws. In reality there were about 20 screws!! Replaced the gasket and door and kept it tightly closed with duct tape overnight..It's workin' great. Thanks to a guy named Appguy everything came out fine.

By watching a video.

Loosened all the screws and pulled the old gasket off. It was fairly easy to get the new one in place. After I had it on it did not seal well so I had to use a hair dryer to get the seal tight.

A very cold and brittle switch in a 17 year old fridge. Used screwdrivers to pry out with some resistance Had to cut the molded plug in half and split wires, because replacement contacts were farther apart than the original. End result, works great.

Emptied door shelves; removed umpteen screws (electric driver); replaced gasket and same umpteen screws; reloaded shelves. Didn't even turn off refrigerator. And, had great help from you (Sue) when I originally ordered the wrong gasket. Job was a piece of cake and your service outstanding.

Went to PartsSelect. Put in Dishwasher model number. Chose the screws for that model number. Ordered the screws. Can't get any easier than that!
