Bottom freezer compartment frosting over
Followed advice from some forum posts here to replace Defrost timer and/or bimetal thermostat. First started with the defrost timer, but the freezer frosted over again. Then replaced bimetal and seems to have resolved the problem. Simple repair. If it wasnt for having to defrost the freezer each time I replaced the parts, it would have taken less time to repair.

Replacing a door shelf
Slid the new one into place. The only issue was refastening the plastic holders into which the shelf slid. Once I figured out how they reattached, it was no problem.

I pried the old one out with a screw driver and pushed the new one in. I expected instructions in the box it came in but there were none.

Coils frozen up completely in freezer
I unplugged the old thermostat and tested it with my meter and found it was always closed. I hooked up the new thermostat and the ran the defrost cycle and I now had heat in the defrost heater and the problem was solved.

freezer coils would frost up and block flow of air
Emptied the contents of the freezer
Removed the panel covering the coils and fan
Since I suspected the thermostat, I removed it and tested for continuity. When it was constantly "open" I decided it was defective, and ordered a new one from PartSelect.
As an interim fix, I connected together the two wires that had been attached to the thermostat, so the fan ran constantly.
When the part arrived, I connected it, replaced the cover panel and monitored the temperature for a day to verify that it maintained below freezing.

Switch was not working after a repairman had fixed something else
Please bear in mind I am 65 years old & it was harder to get up & down off the floor then to change the switch. Was very easy - watched video, unplugged unit. I used the putty knife at the right front corner to work loose, when it came loose had to loose the left side a little. The unit pulled out easily. detached the wired that had a single plug with 2 prongs on it. Attached the plug, pushed new switch into place. There was no way you could place wires on wrong prong. When done, plugged refrigerator back in & checked if working. I CAN SEE THE LIGHT and the food in the freezer now. Thank you for making an easy repair.
