10644269600 Kenmore Refrigerator - Instructions

I took out the old socket by moving a clip. Reattached the electrical wires, clicked in the socket and that was it.

Replaced it with a new one

Freezer worked great, refrigerator stopped getting cold and lots of ice formed around the condenser on the bottom of the refrigerator.
First I had a serious ice issue, ice build up around the bottom of the refrigerator and all through the cold air vents, condenser and cooling fan. I unplugged of the fridg and let defrost over night. I also took all the cold air vents out and cleaned them.
Then I followed the switch install video very simple switch install. Now the Refrigerator works Great nice and cold.

It was a drawer I removed the old one and slid the new one in. Took longer to fill out this form than to replace the drawer

bought a new crisper drawer

because one of mine got broken somehow over the years and I ordered an extra door bin because I had space for one and needed the extra room for more small jars of condiments etc. I also ordered an extra shelf for more storage room for food dishes etc. instead oJust placed them in position on the door and on the back grid.
Simple and done !!!

Removed shelves from frig and freezer. Removed cover over evaporator core in freezer and removed loom. Replaced thermostat by cutting out and connecting new part with connectors. Remove console in frig and replaced thermostat for frig temp. Also had to remove channel to expose freezer rod and capillary tube for thermostat. Took extra care not to kink tube. Reassemble both sides and adjusted correctly and plugged in. Both settings at normal and frig is repaired now. Obviously it took awhile for frig to get completely back to freezing and cold temp. Remember frig has not ran for days. Compressor cycles correctly now also.

Emptied door of food jars etc. Used socked on top plate. Removed door and placed on a flat surface. Used socket to take out cam on the bottom of the door. Replaced worn cam. Replaced nylon sleeve on the top of the refrigerator door with needle nose pliers. Placed door in the bootom slot with the new cam in place. Placed top plate in the new nylon sleeve on the door. Replaced screws with socket wrench.

First of all I want to thank Michael from Carlisle,PA and this site for publishing Michael's info on the wiring specifics on the new 3 connector Start Relay ( WP2262185 ). The original relay only has 2 connectors The 2 orange wires which are combined to one female connector need to be clipped and separated each to its own connector. Refer to Michael's blog as to which wire goes to which connector on the Start Relay. I replaced the Run Capacitor, Start Relay and Overload just to be safe. The Start Relay was the actual culprit.Thank you for an excellent website!

switched new drawer for old

just slide the new compartment in

just added new shelf - perfect fit

The Video on U tube was helpful. I have a side by side model and it was difficult to work in such tight quarters to attach the new part . I found that by removing the cable assembly it was much easier to attach (cut and crimp) the new part on the outside , then reinsert the assembly. The new part resolved my problem. Don't panic when you try and remove the cable assembly. Hope this is helpful.

Followed easy installation instructions which were helpful

I simply removed the old switch by gently pulling down on the old switch with a screwdriver. When it was about half way out I just gently pulled down on the old switch and it popped out... I removed the two connectors attached to the old switch by pulling on the connectors with a pliers...I tried using my fingers but wasn't able to pull the connectors off so I used pliers. It worked perfectly.. When pulling off the old connectors, make sure you attach the new switch to the same tabs on the new switch... It was very easy to do and took under 5 mins.....The light switch works perfect....P.S. You should unplug the frig while making the connection just in case....Safety first....!!!
