The refrigerator stopped running
I was told to order the run capacitor and the technician thought it would repair the refrigerator; but it did not. The appliance technician had to take the run capacitor off and install what he called a "hard start" and the refrigerator is operating right now.

Water started drip from freezer door.
Freezer full, so first thought door had been left slightly adjar. Verified the compressor was runing. Left to hopefully cool down. Did not happen. Searching for cause after covers were removed identified that fan in freezer was not working and ice had built up . While troubleshooting, the freezer went through a defrost cycle. Juryrigged the fan to run continuosly and concluded the defrost thermostat must be the problem.
Installed new thermostate when recieved. No change! Deeper search then found crack in the defroster coil, which must have worked off and on but finaly failed completely.

Bought new refidgerator, as this was just one more problem with this older refridgirator. Also ordered new defroster coil to hopefully fix up the old refridgerator as a garage spare.

Replace aged and cracked door gaskets
This is my first time replacing door gaskets so the process was new. First I had to inspect the in-place gaskets to determine how to remove them. On the freezer I took all the screws out and removed the "clamp rails". This allowed me to clean up the edges of the door and the clamps. Once I realized I didn't need to remove everything I put the clamps back on loosely and set the gasket. I had to tweek it a bit and use the hair dryer a lot but all is well. The fridge door went very smoothly based on what I learned previously. The smartest thing I did was use the hair dryer (per instructions) to get the wrinkles out prior to the install. This made the second gasket a breeze. Only took about 30 minutes. Lastly, where the gasket didn't seat right (only one edge about 6" long) i used some clear tape to "pull" it into place and after a week it was as good as new. Thanks

Not Cooling or freezing
Most difficult part was finding where they hid the defrost timer. (it is in the left front under the fridge behind the kick panel.) just unscrew the two fastener screws from the front, tilt fridge up on one side, slide timer bracket back and remove. Unplug and remove timer from metal bracket. Replace timer and remount bracket.

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.
