A Door Bin On My Refridgerator Broke On Christmas Day From Stuffing It With Wine
Just popped the new bin into place with my thumb. I also wanted to say. . . Don't bother with express or overnight delivery. I ordered the new bin on a thursday, paid for 3-5 day delivery and it arrived the next day. Installed it in less time than it took me to unwrap it.
Freezer leaked, no water disp. & Crusher didnt crush
First I defrosted the entire unit, both sides for 24 hours. Restarted, I now have water dispensing. (It had apparently frozen) Next I took out the ice crushing part and took it apart, (a few screws) by removing the broken floppy piece; the small plastic floppy door that allows ice to crush, replaced this small piece, rather than replacing the entire big plastic piece that I ordered. Used a slot screw driver removed the old floppy piece that was broken and removed the same piece from the new one and switched them out. Reassembled the entire unit (a few screws), put the ice back in and it works great. I got the instructions for taking apart this from this site, however, it was fairly easy to figure out. Just be patient with the plastic parts.
Refrigerator wasn't "winterized" ..This is a summer home, the cold winter cracked the water valve
I put the new unit up to the old one to see exactly how it goes, took the 2 screws holding the unt off...Took the 3 water lines off with adjustable wrench, put back exactly the same way and it worked with no leaks
Replaced wall pins pulling center pins removeing set new ones replaced drawers. Damm Kids Busted the old ones it was easy to find your web site , parts and purchasse items as this was a new one It was diffacullt to use drawers
Water dispenser dripping causing corrosion below tray
Replacement of the water valve repair was a snap. Only the main supply line needed to use a nut to secure the water supply. All other lines were simply cut below the pointed end of the plastic tubing line, nylon nut discarded and simply pushed in to seat with a O-ring fitting. Took no more than 10 minutes to install the new valve and test for leaks after turning water back on. This was the easiest appliance repair I have done in > 5 years, 100% success first time,
During cross country move, water valve froze and broke.
Straight forward repair. Remove the four screws holding cardboard back. Remove the 2 screws holding the valve. Unscrew the water lines and unplug the electrical connections. I would caution that it would be wise to either take a couple photos or write down the order of connection. Even though it is somewhat color coded and the water lines are different sizes, a photo removes any confusion. My old valve had threaded connections using brass nuts and ferrules. The new valve has push in connections so you need to cut the ferrules off.. When cutting off the tubing, be sure to cut square. An angled or "squished" cut will leak when pushed into the fitting. Attach the valve to the refrigerator with 2 screws and replace the cardboard back and you're finished. While you have the back off is a good time to clean the coils. I left my fridge out and back off for a couple of ice making cycles so I could check for leaks (how I know the tubing needs to be cut very square). All in all, a very easy fix.
Removed and replace solenoid manifold valve in rear of appliance using inadequate You Tube video. Removed and replaced augur motor after dismantling various housings using a seriously mistaken You Tube video. The latter video informed us that the yoke that screwed on the motor's shaft was a reversed Left Hand thread. It wasn't at all, and we struggled to figure that out. The people that make these videos leave out steps that they thunk are obvious, but aren't at all.
