you are an angel sir, no one explained this much detailed so far on UA-cam. thank you.
it is the best tutorial i have seen in my life God bless you .. sorry i am just learning english
es el mejor tutorial que he visto en mi vida.. DIOS lo bendiga..lo siento ..estoy aprendiendo ingles
Great video. Showed how to remove everything EXCEPT the one drawer I need to remove - the pantry door between the main refrigerator compartment and the freezer. Guess I'll keep looking...
Great video for specific instructions how to remove the ice maker assembly.
Thank you!!! I've never had so much trouble getting a drip tray off the fridge door before. I didn't want to break it.
Excellent!!! I've been fixing appliances for 42 years and taking this POS apart GOT me!!!! THANKS!!!!
Thank you. With your video I was able to disconnect my ice maker that had stopped working 3 years ago but recently started making noises. Once I saw how to do it I went further and replaced the ice maker and reinstalled it. We have ice! Awesome video!
Having watched several videos about whirlpool refridges(not my model) all of them great, but this one was the most complete and well produced from start to finish and was almost the exact model I have. Although it didn't discuss anything but disassembly and reassembly, it was the best and most helpful as I understood what the problem was but not the take apart and put it back together stuff. Clear and concise. Thank you!
The kids had popped the water spout out of the housing...within the first few minutes your video showed me how easy it was to get to it to push it back down. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video. Well done and comprehensive. Had mold in and around ice dispenser door as well as behind dispenser handles. Gross! Lots and lots of mold.The fridge is 5 yrs old and I never noticed this until now. Hubby was leery of taking it all apart but you gave us the info to do it! Thank you!
Mine is the same! I only noticed it when the water stream wasn't one solid stream. Gag! How did you clean the dispenser parts? Can those pieces be removed to be washed in a sink?
Thanks once again RepairClinic. You all are SO GREAT for putting a plethora of help video's on youtube. I sometimes buy from you all, but it appears you are doing this to help all of us do-it-at-homers, no matter where we get our repair parts. Very informative and well done!!!
Had to clean the ice maker flap because it had mold on it. Great video, but I broke the black tabs that hold the ice maker display into the door. Be careful!
You make pressing the release button and pulling out the icemaker look so easy. I just got this model last week and my release button is very sticky.
Your description of where to put the screwdriver blade to remove the front dispenser panel is not clear. A photo of the spot would really help.
Very detailed disassembly. Thank you!
This is the video I needed ! I am working in a similar refrigerator and did not know how to dissasembly the ice maker. Great expl;anation, very clear, simple and professional. Thanks a lot.
You're welcome!

This video is a life saver! Thank you so much I was able to clean the mold build up on the ice dispenser THANK YOU 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Great Video, it helped me a lot......I did not replace the "Duck-Bill" Valve, I used the "P-Trap Drain Tube Kit" purchased from Whirlpool
Thanks for this. It helped me get the back wall of the freezer off and that revealed a big issue to resolve .
Thank you! This video saved me $400
very instructional video! thank you very much!
Nice job we learned a lot
Muy buenos consejos
exelente gracias...
Thank you!!!
Beautiful wow awesome thanks so much 💯🙏🏼
Excellent video,my fridge model is WRX735SDHZ04,this model does not allow the glass to be lifted and still looking for an answer: How to remove the glass shelf above the drawer,it’s almost impossible to clean out the dirt that is trapped as a result of the accidental spillage of liquids and food. I think that cleaning is the most important part,accidents happen all the time and many people like me are left without the answer
Thank you so so much , this was very helpful ,!
Fantastic video. Clear, easy to follow instructions.
Very Understandable
Great video
To Remove the Middle Drawer for Cleaning just take off the outside edge of the middle drawer: 1) Fully extend the drawer. 2) The edge is held to the slide assembly by 4 small flathead screws. Remove the bottom screws on each side of the drawer. The screws may be on very tight so spray some WD-40 on first to avoid botching up the screw. 3) Loosen the top screws on each side. 4) The bracket which connects the slide and drawer edge is open on top so you can now slide the edge up and remove it.
5) You can now remove the bin for cleaning and clean inside.
Also, the glass plate above the middle drawer can be removed by just pushing it up from below or pulling up on the edges; it's just set there.
Today after persisting for a couple hours I was able to remove it. I had to stick my arm through the middle drawer (top doors open too) and firmly hit on the backside of the glass a few time with my palm until it popped up. It took several tries due to all the stickiness and my arm kept getting stuck but it popped up enough where I was able to slide up and back and carefully pull it out to clean. Not gonna lie it was a pain but hopefully this helps someone.
Thank-you!
Great step-by-step video. I am having a problem though that was not covered here which is that a plastic container of fruits somehow got stuck behind the middle drawer and I have no idea how to remove that drawer or the glass right above it in order to get the item out...
Thank you very much.
You're welcome!

Have a great day!
Everyone is showing the same model of refrigerator. Try the other Whirlpool 4 door model, in particular how to remove all the compartments in the bottom of the freezer.
Show us how to remove glass shelf above the drawer! It’s impossible to clean out crud stuck under the edges of the glass shelf! This is a pretty major design flaw. Also, liquids spill behind this large, heavy glass shelf and fall behind the large metal drawer that can’t be removed. Wish I’d never bought this French door refrigerator with the drawer in the middle!
The glass shelf just came out for me. Just pulled up from the edges. But I don't know how to take the middle drawer bin out. Did you ever find out how to do that?
I just figured it out. Lift the glass from the back wall first

Is there a video on how to change out the wire harness?
Hi, I have the same refrigerator model as in the video. Where can I buy the part where that holds the ice maker assembly? It's the part locking the icemaker when you push it in. The part that locks the icemaker are broken. Thanks for the video anyway.
GREAT VIDEO!
is there any way to adjust the alignment of the two upper doors? My left door is skewed so that the upper right corner sits about 1/4" lower than the rightside door.
thank you, now it will take me less time to do my job, the way I was accessing the evaporator was longer, I removed not only the sliders but also the sliders retainers because I was scared to scratch the freezer interior while trying to remove the panel to access the bi metal and element.
+Natalino Rolli Thank you for sharing.
Morning, whirlpool French door refrigerator with freezer at the bottom.freeze door is lock, can’t open. Help please,

How do I remove one of the sliding drawers inside the bottom freezer drawer to get to a burned out lightbulb?
Hi I have the Whirlpool G16FARXXY00 French Door refrigerator. I need to replace the hose from the inlet valve. It broke at the valve. I believe I have the proper hose ordered, but the replacement procedure is not obvious to me as the hose goes into the refrigerator just above the valve, and there is no removable panel. I see where the hose attaches to the valve inside on the right side of the fridge behind those panels. But how do I get the new hose from the valve up to where it connects inside the fridge. Thanks so Much! Love your channel.
What is the part number for the hose going from that lower valve up the back of the unit???
How does the fan assembly come out without breaking the plastic frame or drip pan? There is no room to remove it without breaking the lower part of the frame.
Do you have a video on how to remove the cover over the light bulb above the drawer that is second from bottom?
Do you have a video showing how to replace the defrost timer in this WRX988sibm00 model

I have a Kenmore model 253.70313211 and the temps once i press the temp i want it goes back to another temp, it never stays at the temp i press in
You disassembled the entire fridge except the middle drawer??? Do you have an additional video or how to remove the middle drawer? Thanks

How do you replace the ice make fill tube?
Do you have a video on replacing the housing of the ice maker?!?! The "plastic hinges" broke, now my ice maker bin, won't close shut, please help, thanks, ✌
Hi there - did you manage to fix this - I have the same problem - can't close the ice maker bin all the way!
How do you remove the middle drawer ?
Nigel Stars there are two hex screws on each side of the drawer facing the refrigerator. I removed these to clean that shelf. it will be easier if you have help but not too hard alone.
Is there a way to replace a broken fridge door??
This was very informative. However it did not explain how to remove the glass from between the top and the second door.
I pried it up from the back and angled it up and lifted it up. Took awhile
What's the working voltage for the crush ice motor please ? Ramon Perera, Miami. Thanks for responding
Can you please post a video about replacing the LED Lights of the middle drawer. I Took one out, but the electric cord is too short. I must be accessed from the Top.
My middle drawer lights are out too. access from top?
What's the thing on the top of the fridge? Near the back.
How do I reset my Whirlpool gz25fsrxyy2 , I have a red Not Cooling light on
I have model WRF555SDFZ09, only two years old and one LED light is out and the rest VERY dim. How do you replace it?
I have a unit Lg refrigerator french door type,the compressors runs but it does seem to be discharging refrigerant because when I feel the compressor and the discharge line they are not warm as they should.Do you have any clue about what can possibly be the issue and what can be done to correct the fault.
Ice is building up in the bottom tray of the freezer portion. When it builds up enough water starts to leak outside of the fridge. Where should look in the fridge to resolve this problem?
I am having the same issue, I think defrosting the ice build up will resolve this problem.
how do you remove the thermostat
Where is the temp control for the freezer?
Dear technicias ! I am changing the main board on a WHIRLPOOL WRF 555SDFZ but I don't have the code, there is none in the label, so I don;t know what to do next. Would you help me with this please. Thanks in advance, Ramon Perera, Miami.
Hello👋 I was wondering if you could help me. We have an old Whirlpool. Probably like around 20 years old lol. But we noticed the light bulb dimming and getting brighter, then I heard the fan in the back that blows cold air in the freezer speeding up, slowing down, speeding up slowing down...just like the light is dimming, getting brighter. Also noticed it's causing the microwave light bulb to do the same thing. So is it that fan motor going out or the main control board?
Similar to someone else in the comments, I need to remove the middle drawer! Has anyone done that? Due to a full middle drawer right now at Thanksgiving, a slender but rather large box of deli type meat got pushed up and then down behind the middle drawer at the very back of the refrigerator. It's so far back there and jammed against the outer wall enough that nothing long with a hook on it can reach it. With a long hooked skewer, I have tried reaching in through the tiny space under the middle drawer (and above the freezer base below) but can not reach the package of meat jammed behind the middle drawer. I did watch the very good Repair Clinic video and will see if the middle drawer releases similarly to the freezer drawer.
The trick is to remove the outside edge of the middle drawer from the slide assembly. To do this pull out the drawer all the way. If you look at the inside of the middle drawer's outside edge, there are 2 brackets, one on each side that connect the slide assembly to the outside edge; it's edge is connected to the slide with 4 small screws. Remove the bottom screw on each side and loosen the upper screw. The bracket is open on top so when the bottom screw is removed and the top screw loosened you can just slide the outside edge of the drawer up and take it off.
BTW, those 4 screws were on very tight so you might want to use WD-40 to loosen them so you don't mess up the screws trying to take them off. Don't know if you still needed this info, but maybe somebody does.
no light in any section of fridge or freezer, please advise
I was attempting to replace my LED light in my freezer I was able to take it off although there was so much insulation in it. However when i went to remove the LED the main wires attached to the wire harness were yanked away from the harness. The space is so small i can't replace the wires back into fhe harness. The wires are short or stuck in the insulation. Any way to fix this?
Do you have any videos on how to get to the deli drawer lights - onw of mine isn't working
I have the same problem. I don't see that addressed in any of the videos.
I have the Whirlpool WRX735SDBM02 french door. I want to remove the bottom glass of the refrigerator sitting above the drawer to clean under the edges.
Why i am here. Literally took everything apart except that😞
@@irunAMOK- I've asked the repairman when I made a call, and there is no way to remove that bottom panel to clean under it. Sadly it's a (disgusting) poorly planned refrigerator.
@@nunyabusiness5070 i figured it out after a while. I removed the plastic insert for produce and with drawer open i reached all the way to the back and pushed up from bottom of the glass. "It was stuck solid from unseen gunk. Basically preyed it from right to left came up finally and was able to clean leaked meat juice. Hope we where having same problem and this helps. Have any questions, ask. Good luck!
@@irunAMOK- thank you very much! I'll give that a try!
I need help my fridge is leaking at the top where the water goes in the icemaker. any video?
Still no help with this. Ordered a new inlet valve and replaced it. But the line on the top of the fridge is still leaking when I turned the icemaker back on.
I saw where you take the ice maker out, is there a video on how to maybe replace the water line?
SAME INSTRUCTIONS FOR A SAMSUNG BOTTEM REFRIGERATOR
I put in part number WRX988SIBM00 for the 2014 model of this Whirlpool and for some reason this model came up. I am trying to find where the Defrost Timer is located on this model. Others models show there is one. Is it electronic in this model? No tutorial addresses that.
@@repairclinic thank you! I appreciate kniwing this. We were just realizing it must be the board. For now we cleaned off the built up ice (we defristed it manually) and will continue using fridge while we put an order in for the new computer board to fix this issue. Thanks again .
Any idea how to get the release button to work? It's jammed from the inside somehow, so the ice maker cannot be removed. I can saw it out, or smash the entire unit with a hammer, but then I'll have to buy a new one at $$$ just because a tab won't depress. the maker works otherwise.
I had the same issue and I just bought it last week. I called a repairman who showed that you have to use your thumb in the center of the button and push deep while pulling from the bottom with your other hand.
Thanks. I tried this but it didn't work. Ultimately I used a hammer and busted out all the tabs to free the machine. That's what the tech told me to do when I called. Next solution is to replace the refrigerator. Tech said it was a design flaw and irreparable. @@MsGail61
No pasa agua ya cambié la válvula
Tried to take the ice maker out but even though I can get the screwdriver in to move the clip, I can't move the ice maker itself. Is there another button or maybe not strong enough?
Right It wont come out even though im pressing so hard
@@DulceHerrarte-oc4xg Called a repair man to come out. He had a problem with it also, but got it out. The water was frozen, so that is why it was stuck. The water line on the top of the fridge leading into the icemaker had a hole in it. He said it was the first time he had seen that. Lucky to have found a reputable repairman that isn't going to charge me an arm and a leg.
Hello, I have a whirlpool refrigerator model # wxr735 sdbm00 . It was gave to me by a friend. And it is missing, the filter drier and copper, and 1 other line has been cut. Can you send me a diagram of the compressor copper lines? ,Thanks.
Andre-they are a general repair parts company...this is likely why you have not gotten a response. If you have not done so already, contact Whirlpool.
Where is the drain pan for this refrigerator?
No light in my freezer bottom part. Don't beep when freezer drawer left open what the problem????
You have a cheap refrigerator and not the one shown here. I have the one shown here.
I have searched and found nothing, i cannot remove the tray from the ice machine, looks just like this one (on this video) you depress the button on the right and yank out. I thought that maybe the tray was froze shut so i left the doors open 24 hrs unplugged but after the ice melted its still stuck closed, any suggestions???
I have the same fridge as in the video. That button is really hard, it does seem like it’s stuck but it’s not. Using my fingertip doesn’t work so o use my knuckle and press hard
how do I remove the drawer glass shelf to clean it
Just push it up or pull up from the edges. Anyway that's how mine worked.
Thanks!!! really help me I don't need a men hahahahahaha
I came here to see him remove the spill tray and he acted like Chuck Norris when he removed it @1:40!! WTH!!!
Mine is the same, I don't want to force it. I'm afraid it will break.
This may be good for someone who can almost be a trained repairman themselves. But, if my fridge was under warranty, I wouldn't mess with a refrigerator to this degree! Especially, if I was unplugging a mess of wires or water lines! All you need to do is bust of one these cheap plastic panels and you're screwed! I'd rather pay for a cheap extended warranty. But, this video could be handy if you have a dopey repairman , who can't do crap! You might be able t walk Dodo through his job! Food for thought----;)
