Ice machine would not turn off when bin was full.
This is the second time for this repair. Seems to occur after cleaning. Make sure you get the right part. Look at the old thermistor for correct model number, they look the same but are different. Turn off machine, unsnap cover plate, unplug old thermistor, remove holding screw with nut driver, replace in reverse order, turn on ice machine. Next time I clean the machine I may remove the thermistor.

The ice machine was overfilling with ice
Pull the white cover from the front of the machine. Remove the screw that holds the thermistor body in place. Disconnect the old thermistor. Plug in the new thermistor. Snap the new thermistor body into the cover and reinsert the screw to the sidewall. Replace white cover. Complete!

Ice bin overflowing not shutting off. Kept making ice
Pull cover off in front of ice tray and ice grid cutter to make easy to get at temperature sensor wire connector. remove connection plug to temperature sensor remove screw on side of ice bin that holds sensor in position.
Put sensor in a class of ice 32 degrees and measured resistance read 6.2K should of been read 8.7K Ordered a new Temperature sensor from partselect.com . Installed in 5 min working like a champ again.
The instructions book call the part I need a Bin Thermister instead off temperature sensor.

Very easy installation.
Tools needed:
- 1/4 inch nut driver or socket & ratchet (or wrench... depending on what you have available.)
- Optional: Flashlight and mirror
1 - I turned the power off.
2 - Grabbing the bottom of the cover (above the ice bin) with both hands, I pulled sharply toward me and the cover was free.
3 - I used the nut driver to remove the screw holding the thermistor in place against the wall of the ice bin.
4 - I used the flashlight and mirror to confirm the placement of the connector.
5 - Used my index finger to depress the locking clip and gently pulled the connector downward.
6 - I attached the new thermistor to the ice bin wall using the nut driver.
7 - I threaded the connector up to the control board and pushed it into place. (This step was the most difficult for me... I had to use the mirror to confirm that I was properly aligned.)
8 - Turned on the power (and shut off the "FAST ICE" option -- may not be available on all ice maker models).
9 - I scooped out a gallon of ice for my tea maker.
10 - A few hours I checked the bin level to confirm that the ice maker was behaving.
All in all, a very simple repair and certainly beats paying someone $200 or $300 for a five minute job.

Refrigerator light stopped working
Followed the instructions in the video provided via email from Partselect
However, the part received was the opposite design of the part removed.
It appeared this could be left hand right hand choice of part. Moreover, the button on the switch that turns the light off/on when door is open/closed was not functional due to the part being the opposite of the part I was replacing. I tested the switch I was replacing and it appears this is not the problem. I think the light socket is the problem. I am 69 year old female and capable of doing small repairs, but limited knowledge of electrical so having to troubleshoot by trial and error. Thank you.

Refrigerator was very noisy. Investigation revealed that the condensor fan motor was going bad.
First let me say that the instructional video on your website for this repair was very informative. My son and I watched that before we began the repair. We unplugged the unit first. After removing the back cover, he unplugged the old fan's electrical connection, and then proceeded to remove the fan and bracket from the unit. We then removed the old fan from the bracket, installed the new one and then he reinstalled the new fan and bracket back into the unit. He used the included electric adaptor cable to complete the electrical connection, plugged in the refrigerator briefly to confirm all was well (it was), then replaced the back cover and we were done.

Motor sounded like a small little airplane under my fridge, very loud.
Unplugged the fridge first then took the bottom panel off with a 1/4 inch nut driver. Disconnected the wiring & used my ratchet to reach the 3 screws that held the motor. Took me longer to clean the bottom of the fridge then the installation.

Replacing Condenser Fan
I was anticipating that the fan would be facing the back of the refrigerator. It actually was perpendicular to the back. There was some difficulty removing the bolts of the fan. I persevered and was victorious.

I popped out the old switch with a screwdriver pressing down the tab on the bottom and unplugged the terminals. Then I plugged in the new switch and popped back into the socket. Piece of cake!
