Light switch wasn't working.. As I would close the door I would notice our frig light wasn't going off...
I simply removed the old switch by gently pulling down on the old switch with a screwdriver. When it was about half way out I just gently pulled down on the old switch and it popped out... I removed the two connectors attached to the old switch by pulling on the connectors with a pliers...I tried using my fingers but wasn't able to pull the connectors off so I used pliers. It worked perfectly.. When pulling off the old connectors, make sure you attach the new switch to the same tabs on the new switch... It was very easy to do and took under 5 mins.....The light switch works perfect....P.S. You should unplug the frig while making the connection just in case....Safety first....!!!

fridge door switch did not work
I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!
Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.

Ice maker working with no production of ice
Turn off the water source and unplug freezer. Remove copper tube and then remove valve from back of refrigerator. Disconnect plastic tube and power connection. Mark power connection plug top with a "T", this reminder helps with the new valve. Plug power and plastic tube into new valve and screw assembly back into refrigerator. Using a wrench, connect copper tube into valve. Restore water source and plug back in in freezer. Within a couple hours, ice production was back.
Like the other repair stories (that helped me), this job was very easy.

Shelf shattered when I was cleaning it.
The shelf suddenly shattered when I was cleaning it in my sink. It almost seemed to blow up - glass flew for yards. I went online and by chance found the partselect website, easily found the part and ordered it, and was shocked when it arrived THE NEXT DAY! I have never had such a good experience with any website. I thought I'd have to go for days without my shelf, but instead it was only one day!

ice maker quit working
Replaced the water valve. I knew that the ice maker was working by watching the movement. It was not getting water to it, s I figured it was the electric water valve and sure enough, that fixed the problem.

Ice maker was not working.
Ordered new single outlet water valve, received in less than two days. Removed old one, and the repair pretty much feel in place. Instructions were there as a backup. ........ Just curious if the connection from the water source to the valve outlet connection could b a quick connect just the like the water line going directly to the ice maker. Gregg in PA.

Refrigerator stopped running; could turn off thermostat, then restart by turning thermostat back on.
Pulled refrigerator from the wall and took the bottom panel off. The defrost timer is on the right side. Removed screws, pulled old timer out and plugged the new timer in. It couldn't have been simpler.
PartSelect correctly diagnosed the problem and told us the part we needed to fix the issue. This is the second time we've relied on them to help us get an appliance up and running. Great company, they are our go to for parts.
Thanks PartSelect!

The old ice maker water valve washer in the water inlet port went bad and was leaking. Lasted for 35 years,
The Whirlpool water inlet valve was better design than the original. All I had to do was drill 2 holes to mount it since it didn't mount in the same location as the old one. I liked the push in connection for the water outlet to the ice maker better than the original plastic screw connection.
