The Freezer defrosted and everything on the top and the bottom spoiled
i had used your web site before and i read several problems that your readers had. i went to the back of the unit, removed the bottom cover and right there the i found the run capacitor and i chaged it. since i had only ordered this part to save money i went back and ordered the Start Device which when i took it off it was completely burned. the replacement part came labeled with 2 different compressor #, so i picked the one that i had and unpluged each wire. the part may differ from the one that it's in the unit but it worked when i pluged everything back on. it also helps to take a picture of everything before removing the wires in case you have to leave it and come back later. i hope to use this refrigerator another 10 years. thank you all for your help.

light not working in fridge
It was so easy!
Thanks for the rush to my home on the part.
I just unscrewed the plate that locks in the light switch (screwdriver) and unplugged the old faulty part and plugged in the new switch, screwed the cover back on and I was done!
Easy!

Door gasket leak
Followed other instructions posted. Put gasket in dryer for a few minutes. My son held gasket back while I removed/reinstalled screws. It would have been much more difficult if I had attempted to do it by my self

Door gasket not sealing allowing ice/ frost to form around and inside the door.
It was easy to take the door off by taking the two screws (located on the top of the freezer) off the top hinge and lift the door up off the bottom hinge. I took it outside and laid it on a table. Removed all the screws and took off the panel so I could remove the old gasket and clean the door and panel. The inside of the door was full of ice so we removed that and the insulation which I replaced. My wife then put the new gasket in the dryer on medium temp for about 5 minutes. We slipped the new gasket on the panel and lined it up on the door and screwed it back on the door. Then we put it back onto the freezer bottom first then replaced two screws on top hinge. Shut the door and use a blow dryer on the gasket with the door closed to make the gasket seal / conform to the door/freezer until there are no gaps between the gasket and the freezer. Note: Once the ice and water are out of the door the door doesn't weigh nearly as much as it did. Also

Icing up and leaking into the floor.
Replaced the door gasket.
Loosen the two bolts for the door top hinge. Make them loose enough so you have room enough to lift the door off its bottom hinge. But befor you do that use a marker to trace around the top hinge location, makes it easy to set it back correctly.
Take the door and lay it down on the floor, I used a coffe table to allow for the door handle.
Remove all the screws holding the seal on. Note: it’s likely the bottom screws are rusty so get some replacements before doing this job.
Remove old seal and fit the replacement. I installed the four corner screws first to get the seal aligned.
Install ALL screws before tightening, this aids seal alignment with the holes in the door.
Refit door.

lights wouldn't come on/work in refrigerator
Referencing the info/schematics you have on your website, I unscrewed/unattached top-front panel (carefully), from behind the panel you have to detach the wires (2) from the switch, pushed "in" the switch to remove, put in new switch and attach wires to test BEFORE remounting panel. Tada!! Thank you PartSelect! You saved me at least $80...would have been at least $100 to have a repair person come to the house!
