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....!!!

Cracked door handle
Despite a long delay due to a lack of stock on hand, the correct part arrived and matched in color. It came without the little rectangular plastic cap or cover for the bottom bolt, so it was good to have kept the old handle and plastic cap on hand. I imagine other owners might have thrown out a broken part, bolts and cap in the meantime. Strictly the handle arrived, but it was easy to install. I'm grateful for a part I wasn't sure could be found.

Shattered crisper top glass
just cleaned it and put in place. I was really impressed as to how fast it was sent to me. I broke it on Nov. 1 and placed the order that afternoon and received the new glass on Saturday Nov. 3. I really appreciated that as I never expected it until the following week. Thank you for the fast service!

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.

Old gasket had become worn and torn...
Pulled out old gasket. Removed inner door molding then fixed new gasket around the edges. Replaced screws around entire inner door and snugged gasket into place. Unfortunately, it seems that the new gasket's magnets were not so strong and the door tends to pop open easily. I suppose it is better than it was...we'll need to keep an eye on it and perhaps get a manual latch of some sort....

Missing crisper drawer support post
I recently bought an old Amana refrigerator for my garage on CraigsList for 75 bucks. It was in great condition for its age, but was missing the post that supports the fruit and veggie crisper drawers. I did a Google search, quickly found PartSelect, and just as quickly located and ordered the missing part, which was reasonably priced. PartSelect promised it woud be delivered in 3-5 days by FedEx Ground and it was. I took it out of the box, removed the crisper backets - and glass cover for them - installed the post and WHA-LA, the crisper backets work just as good as when the fridge was new! Couldn't have had an on-line mal-order operation go any slicker!

Bad gasket with large open gap
Take off freezer door to take off refrigerator door. Once fridge door off, put freezer door back on, lightly screw in place. Lay fridge door down flat on table. Take out all screws. Put new gasket in, while putting a few screws in to hold in place. Screw down. Use blow dryer to help get any kinks out. Easier than I thought it would be. I think my door is a little warped, but the gasket was enough to make it seal. No more condensation, and the fridge isn’t running all the time. Thanks parts people! Haha.
