Is there a video or other instruction for this kit?
Hello Richard, Thank you for your inquiry. I was able to find the following instructions for you.
Installation of this kit requires moving the evaporator coil, so be very carefull as damage to the evaporator coil can cause catastrophic failure to the sealed system of the refrigerator.
1. Unplug the refrigerator and remove the Evaporator Cover.
2. Verify that the defrost heater and defrost sensor resistance is correct. If incorrect, replace the part(s).
3. Move the defrost sensor to the top of the evaporator inlet tube (just below the cap tube joint). If necessary, remove enough mastic material to place the sensor correctly. The sensor must be positioned on the left side of the inlet tube.
4. Check the heater clip on the heater. If clip is shorter than the one in the kit, replace it with the new one. If the clip is the same length as the new one, do not replace it.
5. Lift the evaporator and drain plate out of position and carefully bend them up.
6. Add the two foam strips to the back of the plate and add the seal to the bottom of the drain plate.
7. Bend the bottom row of the cooling ribs on the evaporator.
8. Remove the seal on the back of the Evaporator Cover, if there is one present. The cover should be smooth
9. Replace the drain tube and cap. The refrigerator section tube is on the far right in the compressor compartment.
After installing the new water leakage service kit, you will need to fully thaw the defrost drain on the refrigerator if the drain is iced up. There are a few different ways to thaw the defrost drain. The easiest way to thaw the defrost drain is to unplug the refrigerator and leave the refrigerator and/or freezer doors open for 24 hours. Or while you have the evaporator cover pulled off you can pour hot water in the drain area until all of the ice has melted and water is able to freely flow down the drain to the back of the refrigerator.
Hope this helps!
