Facade Insert - Black WP67004151

I ordered the cover and the face plate because I was unsure of the condition of the cover and because the face plate is stuck on the cover. The repair was very simple. Turn off power to unit. Remove the spill plate, it just pulls out. Then remove the two screws that are seen when the spill plate is pulled out. The cover slides down and comes out. Disconnect the two wires to the operator switch, they just pull off. Take two small screw drivers and gently raise the tabs that latch in the circuit board jack and pull the jack down to remove it. Remove the one screw that secures the circuit board and use a small screw driver to gently raise the tabs that hold the circuit board in place on the bottom side and remove the circuit board. Install the circuit board on the new cover and intall the holding screw. Plug in the jack that connects the circuit board to the unit. The plug in the two wires to the microswitch. Install the cover and install the two holding screws. Slide in the spill plate. Finally install the face plate, it just sticks on and is very easy because the cover is resessed where it is to be installed. In all I think it took me longer to wright this than it did to do the repair.

The facade plate is attached to the ice/water dispenser panel with an adhesive. I used a hair dryer to warm and soften the adhesive. Peeled off the old facade and attached the new facade. Never even had to unplug the old. Fun project!!

Unplugged refrigerator; removed two screws with a nut driver; removed front panel; removed circuit board; disconnected two electric connectors.
Reversed process to install new panel.

Thanks to parts.com showing the schematic the repair was very easy. Note if the buttons fro dispensing water/ice break you need to order two parts. 1. dispenser Facade and 2. Dispenser facade Insert. To replace do the following. remove the catch tray at the bottom of facade. remove the two screws on the bottom and gently pull bottom of insert out and down. Next unsnap the two wires on the selonoid switch. Next pull down on the harness connector from the printed ckt. Next remove small phillips screw that secures the ckt to the insert and gently pry the six plastic clips that hold the ckt to the insert and remove. Next, install the ckt into the new insert and reconnect the selonoid switch. Next, install the insert back on the door. Next, install the Dispensor Facade sticker over the switch buttons taking care that it is aligned properly. Thats it ready to use.

Took lower plate out then removed two screws. Unhooked electronic control board and remove board by removing two small screws. Disconnected wires and replaced with new board. Front cover plate was replaced as the "water - crush - cube buttons on face plate had cracked. Replaced front cover with new plate - used a little glue to keep the small buttons in place. Now we can select all three items and it is working fine.

This was a fairly easy and straightforward repair that simply involved removal of the old facade face plate by pealing it off and sticking the new one in it's place. The worst part was removing the adhesive from the old facade before I could stick the new one on in its place. Perhaps you could include some advice on how to remove the adhesive. I used Goof-off, but was concerned about it attacking the plastic surface. It seemed to work OK.

I checked previous installation instructions posted on your website. Since the facade is a peel and stick, I used a hair dryer to soften the old facade and was then able to just peel it off. I applied heat to one side for about 5 minutes. I then applied the new facade.

The first step in making any repair is finding the right replacement part. It took me about 5 minutes in the internet to locate the correct part at PartSelect. Another 5 minutes to order the correct part and receive a confirming email. Replacement installation of the defective part was 5 minutes to install the new part and verify that the problem was solved. The under-the-counter lighting worked once again which made my wife happy, which as you know make everybody's life better.
Thanks for the fast shipping.
