I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.

My refrigerator would not defrost.
The first part I changed was the defrost timer but it did
not solve the problem, I replaced the bi-metal defrost sensor
and I have the same problem.
I can defrost by turning the clock manually and heater works.

Ice catcher was missing from the icemaker
I removed the ice catcher from the excellent packaging, rinsed it, and placed it on the counter next to the fridge. I opened the door the the freezer and placed the ice catcher under the icemaker. I lowered the arm on the icemaker and closed the door to the freezer. Then I opened the door to fridge, took out a Guinness, popped the top, and sat down to savor my success.

Retainer clip was broken and as a result the retaining bar could not do its job
I just snapped the new clip in place.
I would like to thank you for your fast service. The part arrived the day after I placed the order. This is almost unheard of.

Crisper shelf glass broke while washing
The part just slips into its frame in the refrigerator. Super-easy. It took me longer to get the glass shelf out of the box than to install it.
Thanks!

The items arrived the next day, in perfect condition (I was concerned about the tempered glass shelf in the mail). These items saved me from buying a new refrigerator!

The clips on the part had broken off. As a result the bar was not held in place.
Removed the old cap from the metal bar. Slipped the new cap on the bar. Fit the bar back into the slots in the frig door.
It was perfect. The part arrived on time. The fix was quick. And simple.

The end caps broke on several of the retainer bars. The retainer bars kept falling out and so did my food.
I replaced the broken end caps by inserting the new ones into the ends of the retaining bar and then inserted the entire piece into the slots of the refrigerator where the bars were missing because the end caps weren't holding the retaining bar and I had to place them in a safe place outside of the refrigerator. Too easy. I'm just glad it was such an easy fix. I'm thankful for this site, the value was great, service quick and my life is now a little easier.
