Fits well in my Kenmore Whirlpool fridge freezer. A Few Tips

Installed on Kenmore Two Door Refrigerator 106.56576400 (Whirlpool). The problem is that the evaporator didn't defrost on the freezer side, so it was pretty cool on the freezer side and hot on the fridge side. Side. Once the evaporator is filled with ice, the air does not circulate towards the refrigerator. Although it's not that difficult, it does require some work to install and a few YouTube videos can help you with that. This requires removing all contents only on the side of the freezer and all shelves/drawers on that side. Some water on the bottom can be unavoidable when the evaporator is clogged with ice. After taking it out, all that ice melts, so take rags and a bucket with you just in case. The most uncomfortable part is working on my knees, struggling against the freezer door trying to close and finally getting to the screws. It is better if you unplug the refrigerator. Behind the plate are a fan, a resistor, and live wires. YOU MUST unplug the refrigerator from the outlet before removing the cover plate. Take a picture of the location of the original switch, take a picture of the old switch's wiring and connections. You may need them later. Removing the old switch and installing the new one is pretty easy. You will need pliers to connect the new one; Some basic electrical skills are required. Do not use a cordless drill. It's easy to break the threads holding the screws, revert to the old style and use a hand screwdriver (in good condition).
