1068265583 Kenmore Freezer - Instructions

At first I went to a local part supplier and they didn't have it in stock but could order it for me for $55.00 plus $10.00 to ship it. I told them I would have to think about it. I went home and got on the computer and found your web site and was I shocked when I saw the same part listed for $6.98 and $7.00 to ship it. You guys saved me $50.00. The part arrived in two day and took 5 min. to install. I now have light in my refrigerator. Thank you.

I pried the old one out with a screw driver and pushed the new one in. I expected instructions in the box it came in but there were none.

Removed door,took out old part@replaced with new

I watched the how-to video on your website first and it made the job so much easier. Just remove the upper hinge, lift the door off, and replace the cam bushings on the bottom hinge. Put it back together in reverse order and your done! Thanks for having such an informative website! It saved me from buying a new appliance.

My owners manual said to unplug fridge from elec outlet, use a kitchen knife to gently pry off the switch plate
(manual had a pictoral example), unclip the two wire, replace with on new switch and replace the switch. Close
door and plug back in. Open door to check that the lite
works. Walla! It did. Thanks!

removed door,removed worn part and replaced with new.

1. Used fine tip marker pen to draw outline of upper hinge position

2. unloaded food from door

3. took decorative cover off upper hing mount

4. loosened 3 screws (not completely) and lifted up upper hinge to permit upper door pin/hinge to come free.

5. lifted door off lower hinge.

6. remove broken pieces, cleaned, put in new pieces, added small amount of grease

7. put door on bottom hinge.

8. put top hinge into door

9. snugged up three screws in top hinge plate.

10. had to loosen top hinge screws and tap hinge plate around to get door to close by itself when about 1-2 inches from being closed

Best part was PartSelect save me bunches of money and got parts quickly

Popped the old one out with a kitchen knife and popped the new one back in. It tool less than 15 seconds!!

The parts were delivered promptly. I ordered the kit assembly because I didn't know which part was the problem. Reading the remarks from other people's symptoms and solutions made the process much easier. I replaced both the upper and lower cams. Lubricated the cams and reinstalled the door.. Problem solved!!!!

Empty the refrigerator door of all items and removable shleves.
Reomve top hinge (three screwsa at top of exterior).
Lift door off of bottom hinge pin.
Lay door across table
Remove top half of cam from door and replace with new cam half.
Remove bottom half of cam from bottom door hinge pin.
Lubricate both cam surfaces with small amount of silicone lubricant.
Replace door on bottom hinge pin and replace top hinge.
You may need help guiding teh door back onto the botttom hinge pin.
Replace all door shelves. Done!

I am a single female so the hardest part was lifting the door off and then trying to get it back on the hinge. I used the same bolts that were on the door so putting the new parts on was the easiest part. The slowest part was finding the right socket for the bolts and unscrewing the originals. Beats hiring a repair man.

I removed the door and replaced the door cams and reinstalled the door

rem upper hinge on door on & lifted door off. installed kit provided & ressemble.

I removed the door (three screws on top). Flipped the door upside down, removed the cams, and replaced with the new ones and replaced the door. Now the door closes great. The only problem is that the door sort of "clunks" into place when I open or close it. I am not sure that I used the right cams. The drawing on the directions was not at all clear.

Please bear in mind I am 65 years old & it was harder to get up & down off the floor then to change the switch. Was very easy - watched video, unplugged unit. I used the putty knife at the right front corner to work loose, when it came loose had to loose the left side a little. The unit pulled out easily. detached the wired that had a single plug with 2 prongs on it. Attached the plug, pushed new switch into place. There was no way you could place wires on wrong prong. When done, plugged refrigerator back in & checked if working. I CAN SEE THE LIGHT and the food in the freezer now. Thank you for making an easy repair.
