All Installation Instructions for Kenmore Refrigerator 2533180210D

refer door hinges were lost during the move in to our first home.

The center door hinge was still attached to the refridgerator so I only had to install the bottom and top hinges. I also moved the door handles to the other side so the doors open the "right" way. The hinges were just 2 bolts and 3 screws. Now, just if the repair man from our home warrentee company would show up to fix the refridgerator. It's blowing hot air!!!

Parts Used:

Lower Hinge Bracket

Single Washer

Lower Hinge Pin

Upper Hinge

Crisper glass shelf installed

Just like the video , just pull out the crisper drawers and slide the new one in. I also made sue that I had a quilt on the floor in case I dropped the glass shelf. Also if you are not sure of the model number you can try calling the store where you bought the appliance at which I had to do. I bought it at Conns and they just needed the phone number I used when I bought it.

Refrigerator did not cycle

Installation was fairly straight forward. The major complaint is that the problem returned 2 weeks later. I don’t know if I care to re-invest in another switch.
Now what?

Old gasket was cracked, dirty, and causing the refrigerator to run overtime.

Easy to peel out old gasket, and new one tucked right in. I was embarrassed that it was so easy and I waited so long. Has made a big difference in how the frig looks and also operates.

Putting the shelf in was a no-brainer. It comes with matching slots and you can't put it in upside down or backwards. Only the right way!

Old gasket was torn and falling out

I removed the old gasket and cleaned the area. Then I started at the bottom and pressed the new gasket into the door. You must use firm pressure and go all around. It does get tricky hear the end as it seems like there is excess, but it will fit. Just keep using firm pressure.
