All Installation Instructions for Kenmore Refrigerator 10641159212

fridge door switch did not work

I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!

Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.

Replaced door gasket and hinge closers on Refrigerator door.

I just followed the excellent Video for both parts. The door gasket is tedious but doable, just take a deep breath and press on. Putty knife is handy to push edge of gasket under the plastic lip. The closer devices take 3 minutes - simple R&R. Check the videos - they're pretty clear and detailed.

Top half of freezer & fridge were not cooling. Freezer fan had been making unusually loud noises.

Piece of cake. It took me longer to remove the food from the freezer, remove shelves and back panel than to do the repair. I heard the fan making some noises so I replaced both the fan and defrost thermostat. I used the instructions submitted by a another customer. My 20+ year old fridge is like new now.

THE SLIDE OUT SHELF WITH GLASS FRAMES WERE BROKEN.

I HAD TO BE CAREFUL...THE SHELF COST ME OVER $200/
iT WAS PACKED SAFELY AND THE GLASS SHELF ARRIVED SAFELY.
REMOVING IT FROM THE PACKING IS NOT TOO DIFFICULT...THE SHELF IS BROAD..

ONCE I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT OUT, I WAS ABLE TO REPLACE IT INTO THE REFRIGERATOR BY SLIDING IT INTO THE FRAME.

I AM NOT A HANDYMAN...BUT THIS WAS EASY.

The refrigerator was clicking but not turning the compressor on long enough to work. So the freezer was thawing and freezing which froze the drain line completely. Forcing the water to flood the refrigerator.

I unplugged the capacitor which allowed access to the on/off relay. Unplugged the old broken one and plugged in the new one. All better.
