I broke the crisper glass shelf while cleaning my refrigerator.
This replacement glass shelf arrived the very next day-after it was shipped. I was so impressed with the easy method of ordering and the prompt delivery of this product-also, the quality of the shelf was perfect. Great service!! I would recommend this for everything-as far as parts needed for repair or replacement.

Identifying the part on the parts diagram took the longest. Finding the screw driver bit that would remove the old screw that held the original shelf support took longer than the actual repair.
Once I identified the bit that would remove the screw, the rest of the repair took 5 minutes. I removed the screw and discarded the remains of the original but now broken shelf support. With the same screw I simply attached the new shelf support that I received from PartSelect.com. End of story.

Had to be careful not to break other parts.
Popped rail off and replaced with new one. Video showed how to do it. A bit tight to remove and just needed a little strength and patience.

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.

broken rails on meat sliding tray.
I slid the meat tray out of the broken rails and after cleaning it I used a flat head screw driver to pry gently the plastic rails slightly away from the metal tray to unlock the broken plastic rails and slid them forward to free them off the metal tray.Replacement was very easy sliding the new plastic rails back on the metal tray until they locked into place then screwed the plastic wheels on to the new rails and replaced the repaired tray back into place. Thank you Part Select for your service and help.

The support had broken and the shelf was just hanging there.
I unscrewed the support and replaced it with one that I ordered. It was fast and easy.

Old door seal was torn
Removed screws & old seal replaced seal and screws.
Result: New seal will not lay flat against the door making it difficult to close the door completely and causing the compressor to work overtime. I am hoping that it eventually flattens out.

Plastic rails retaining guides broke off.
First I removed all food items from above and in the Meat drawer. Then I removed the meat drawer from the slides and placed it on the counter. Then I removed the shelf that the slide rails are attached to and turned it upside down on some folded towels. Next I inserted a screwdriver (Flat tip) between the bracket and the rail I am about to remove. This released the locking tabs. Then I slid the old rail back and it popped off. I install the new rails without the screwdriver inserting them in the slots and sliding them into place. Next I reinstalled the glass shelf back into the fridge. Finally I inserted the meat drawer back into the new slides. The Job went rather easy, just take your time and don't pry the screw driver too much, just enough to clear the locking tab.

Ice maker broken. Quick fix
The plastic fill cup part is also used to hold one end of the wire “one/off” switch that is manually activated or activated when the ice tray is full. This wire piece fell out because one end, that is part of the plastic fill cup, broke off. The wire switch was fine.
The video demos show you exactly what to do. The repair man showed me a trick to speed up the testing process. The trick is to insert a wire jumper cable to actuate the ice maker and make it rotate. But this isn’t necessary.
Hardest part of this fix is emptying the freezer (bottom with a slide out door) and removing the door.
Why this part is so expensive is beyond me. But I’m happy it was available for a 24yo fridge that still works!!
