Freezer and Frig was not cooling down. The freezer side was all froze up on the coils.
Unplug the Frig and left the freezer side total defrost. Mine was so frozen up, it took about 6 hours with the door open. I had a towel in the botton to catch all the water and ice that fell.
Removed all the shelving units. There are 3 screws that hold the ice maker in place. Loosen the 2 screws above the ice maker about 3 or so turns. Then remove the screw under the ice maker completely. Then lift the ice maker off of the 2 screws that you just loosened. Then with a small flat blade screwdriver, push the plastic clip that holds the connector of wires that plug into the ice maker.
Then remove the screws that hold the back plastic cover that conseals the coil.
Now you should see the coils. There is one heater unit in the middle and one at the botton. There is a screw on each side of the heater unit that you need to take out. They are screwed into a metal bracket that is part of the coil system. Once the screws are removed, you simply remove the heater units. They are plugged in at the top of the coil system on a circuit board. Unplug them from there, (one of the spades connector was slightly bigger then the other, so I new where to plug them back in). Fish all the wire and heater untis out and you are ready to re-oinstall the new units.
Getting the wires back up through the coils was tricky, but I was able to do it.
The hardest thing was working inside the freezer unit. It is not very wide and was sometimes hard to get both hand inside to work.

The door gasket was very hot which is caused by an overheated expansion line that runs along the area of the door gasket. This was caused by a failed cooling fan motor.
Pulled out the refrigerator and removed the two panels from the rear of the refrigerator. Removed the fan held in by four screws and unplugged the connector. Soldered on the original connector, installed the fan to the motor and re-installed the unit into the refrigerator. Then blew out and vaccumed the condenser coils.

The selection knob on the washer broke, the threaded center broke off the outside part of the knob.
Used pliers to twist the broken knob part off the threaded stem, replaced with the new one. Easy, took 5 minutes. Was happy I could find a replacement for an 18 year old washer! Using vice grips to turn the machine on every time I did laundry was a less-than-ideal situation! Thanks!

Broken Timer Knob
The repair was simple. I just removed the broken knob and replaced it with the new knob. The real story is I ordered the replacement knob one day and it was delivered the very next day. Fantastic service from PartSelect. Thank you.

Turned the small piece the knob broke off of counterclockwise to remove and turned the new knob on by hand. Took less than a minute and it works like new. Thank you.
