How to take apart Kitchen aid/Whirlpool French Door Refrigerator. (How to get to Evaporator) 

Thank you! This video saved me hundreds on a repair call! I ended up just putting the ice maker to the side when taking the vertical air duct off and putting on because I just couldn't remove the water supply line and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to reattach it if it was so difficult to attach. It worked out! Thanks again!

Thanks. This helped me replace my evaporator sensor harness; saved me about $220 in service fees.

Thank you brother! Got it all apart. Fan is running but everything is frozen up.

Very useful, thank you! I had to replace the sensors that are part of the cooling fan and managed to do so thanks to this video. I did manage to get the air tower thing off the back wall without pulling the ice maker.

Thank you so much for the video. It was great! Wouldn't have been able to fix my refrigerator without your help. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANKYOU!

Thank you...This was a great video. It solved my problem of trying to get to the coil

Thanks for the awesome video. I’ve already had to clean out the defrost system p-trap when my freezer wasn’t defrosting. Just had to do the fridge and your video made it so much easier not having to figure it out myself.

Perfect description! Thanks a lot!

Just EXACTLY what I needed to see!

THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO MAN! I have a job where the evap on this model is so frozen that the customer can't get the bottom drawer to close because there is so much frost built up. That explained why her fridge was warm.

Thank you very much for the video! It was very helpful!

Thanks Bearded man. 👏🏼👍🏽. Love your videos

Thank you. It worked great for me.

Unfortunately, I’ve had to do this 4 times over the last year...just finished another one last night. Thank you for your video, followed your instructions to a “T” for the first two times. At the third time, I decided to figure out an easier way. And it’s worked both times, including a disassembly I did last night. Basically, I bypass everything you do with the roof/water lines/ice maker and go straight to the cooling tower retaining tabs on the back wall, which I loosen with a flathead screwdriver. I use the same flathead screwdriver to pry the cooling tower upward...it only needs a fraction of an inch (I was so nervous the first time, that I’d snap the plastic, but it’s very pliable), and as you can see in your video, there’s no lip or anything on the lower cover that prevents it from sliding forward once it clears that fraction of an inch. Anyone who has to do this multiple times might appreciate the time saver, and as a bonus, you still have the fridge LED lights on, and in place to see what you’re doing.

This video was a HUGE help!...thanks =)

Love your videos. Do you have a video on disassembling the freezer drawer? We have a “rattle” in the fan behind the back panel of the freezer and want to check to make sure nothing is stuck in on it. Thanks

Please do more of these. Ty

Nice job really helped me replace the fan and temp probe quickly. Only broke 1 clip pulling down top covering

Great video! Question, I have this exact unit. The bulk of the fan noise is coming from the freezer section at the bottom. Does the steps for disassembling the top refrigerator section still apply when trying to fix the sound coming from freezer?

Hey BAR, I have this same fridge. Last night it started leaking water. It appears the water is coming from somewhere in the area of the compressor you are showing how to access in this video, is filling the bottom tray area under the meat drawer and then running out the front door area. Are there any water connections in that area that could be the culprit? I couldn't tell with the quick peak you gave after removing the cover.

Thanks!

Thanks. If theres a giant ice chunk on the outside of the evaporator coil cover , what does this mean? It's hard ice not frost

GREAT Video! Two questions... 1. Who made this for Kitchen Aid? 2. I have to replace the drip pan in the FF section "leaking onto floor "inside the FF section" under crisper drawer", do I have to remove all of this to get to it? Thanks very much!!!

Perfect your video did the trick All it was was ice build up rubbing against the fan blades. Why does ice build up? Maybe i can keep it from happening again

Great video very interesting question what's the part number for the closure of the refrigerator door that goes into the top portion to avoid air escapes need one of those. Thanks in advance

I have a Whirlpool french door model that I want to replace the water line from the inlet valve to the filter. I see you removed the top cover to the filter by prying from the front. I have removed the 2 screws near the filter and have pried to hearts content but the cover will not release from its hidden tabs. Do you have any tips as to just where the cover is fastened?

Thank you so very very much

How does the coil defrost? Fan runs.Mine was frozen over. Can't seem to see how it defrost or a t stat. I have a slight rip in door gaaket..could it just have been over worked?

Hey, Great video, really helpful. I need to replace the drain pan on my same refrigerator do I have to remove everything like you did?

How do you turn on the bottom thing that slides the one that you adjust the temperature it says meats/poultry cold drinks and deli/cheese

Do you have a video for a side by side or is it the same process?

Great video, do you have 1 that shows how to get to the evap fan on the 5 drawer kitchen aid fridge?

Hi need some help with my french door refrigerator. Its cooling the guy came and bypass a part thats feeds the evaporator coils and still not cooling need some assistance plz

Great video. I have the same refrigerator. The side lights and the light in the freezer not working and I guess these are in same series. Can you suggest any troubleshooting tips? Thanks.

Having a heck of a time getting the water line loose when disconnecting the ice maker . Any helpful hints?

I cannot get that icemaker reattahced for the life of me, any hints?

Great video! I have a question that perhaps you could answer. I have already had a service tech move the sensor because of a chronic ice up behind the long drawer which blocks air flow and then raises the fridge temp. This did not solve the problem. I'm now guessing that the evaporator tray, which appears too small in length, (doesn't fit around the plastic shroud over the evaporator) is bent down away from the drain which starts a cycle of water pooling and freezing up and blocking the airflow, etc, Do you think that this might be the issue and do you think changing the tray to one of adequate length and pitched toward the drain might solve the problem we're experiencing? I've run out of ideas. I too have a Kitchenaid KRFF507ESS01

Kitchenaid ksf26c6xyy keeps breaking the wiring harness at the bottom of the freezer Two wire continue to break, even after repair by solder and wire nuts. can that wiring harness be replaced.

Would you have a video on how to disassemble a very similar Whirlpool refer except that it has the extra fresh food drawer that has the flexible electrical conduit that moves in and out with the drawer? I plan on changing the evaporator fan motor

What about the WRF992fif!???!!?? I couldn’t get that section apart if my life depended on it!!!😭🤯😱

That's a lot of work to get to that fan

Hello, we find your videos great, I did have a question that hopefully you can answer.I think that my damper control is bad because my freezer is working great but my fridge is not working. The evaporating coil fan works but the cold air is not going in to the refrigerator part. Where would I find the damper or better if there is a place where I could look for assembly diagram it would be great? I own a Whirlpool WRF736SDAM11, Thank you in advance

Got everything apart, found evaporator frozen up, and fan not running…..next steps?

Where is the defrost timer in a whirlpool refrigerator gold series model wrf989sdam03

You are so right I hate it !

Hi Bar, I have an issue with ice build up. The defrost sensor is on the evaporator like you said, and I changed the defrost setting to basic, so it’s set to defrost every 8 hours....but it’s still icing up. What else could it be?

What kind of loser downvotes this? Trolls? Ever tried figuring out getting one of these apart? SHEESH.

Is the defrost timer located behind this panel where the fridge evaporator is?

I have this same fridge and today realized that it is not cooling properly. I noticed that the deli meats drawer was not going all the way in, and when I looked behind, saw that I have a huge accumulation of ice behind it.. Now I'm trying to decide the best way to attack this.. Taking this apart to get to that coil looks to be doable, but once I get to it, what do you advise is the best way to attack the ice, and then of course why did the ice build... The fan seems to be running, but it seems as though the ice has built up in the vents.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a kitchenaid KRFF507ESS01 .. Thank you for any help!!

So, those two screws that are important to prevent future issues... why are they important?

The fan is working by the evaporator; the tray just under it has frozen water in it why?( WRF990SLAM) Whirlpool.

Thanks!
