Component Teardown
Light Shield Removal
To remove the light shield, remove any adjustable
shelves and then simply grab the light shield along one
side and flex out at the center until retaining tabs are
clear of the liner sidewall. (See Figure 6-34)
Air Duct Removal
Non-Dispenser Models
The fresh food air duct is different on the non-dispenser
models. There is now a single plug to connect to the
main wiring harness. The damper assembly and the
fresh food thermistor can still be replaced separately.
(See Figure 6-35)
Upper Light Fixture Removal
To remove the upper light fixture, disconnect power
from the unit first. Pull the light diffuser away from
the light fixture. Disconnect the electrical leads at the
Molex™ connector. Remove the light bulb by turning
the bulb counter-clockwise. The light fixtures are
removed by extracting the two bolts and pulling the
assembly out from the cabinet. (See Figure 6-36)
Freezer Compartment Light Switch Removal
The freezer compartment light switch is located in the
left side center of the freezer liner toward the back of
the freezer.
To remove the freezer compartment light switch:
1. Disconnect power from unit.
2. Remove the upper two freezer baskets if equipped.
3. Using a putty knife inserted between the liner and
switch, push down and out on the top of the switch
until it clears the liner. (See Figure 6-37)
4. Pull the switch out of the liner and transfer the wires
from the bottom of the old switch to the new switch.
5. To reinstall, put the bottom of the switch and wires
in the opening first and then push the top back in
place.
NOTE: This light switch is activated by a arm sticking
up on the lower freezer basket rail. If the basket rail
arm is bent, it may not hit the switch which will result
in the lights staying on. If the lights do not shut off on
the switch the lower control board will shut the lights off
after 15 minutes.
