Light did not come on (bad bulb!) on TC18KL
I have never before seen a bulb with the filament intact not light. If the bulb's filament seems intact, screw the bulb into a known working lamp and see if it lights. When screwing it back into the socket in the fridge, it takes a bit of extra effort to fully seat (until it does, it won't light!). For replacing the switch, I unplugged the unit, used a paint scraper and worked it under the switch bezel from the right side. A bit of moxie, and the switch came out. The replacement switch had a different spade contact spacing than the original. I used a pair of scissors to cut the rubber bridge between the two switch wire connectors so I could connect to the new switch. In the end, it turned out to be the bulb. NOTE: The Model TC18KL is _not_ listed! What I finally found that the number "P7803211WL" on the sticker is actually a manufacturing code. Found this out by searching, and Sears' part search came up with matches.

Bottom nylon washer gone
I watched the online video and followed the directions. The only thing that was not obvious (and this is where the video saved several minutes)was how to remove the upper part from the door. This repair makes the door seals much more effective and should reduce the compressor run time. I have to compliment you on your prices and speed in getting the parts to me...great service!

Door won't close and freezer frosted up
First My Frig side of the double door unit wasn't closing on its own. Kids don't look, so they walk away...next thing you know the frig warms up and the freezer starts to frost up from running so long...Now it won't shut off.... I checked the hinge and sure enough it was wore down. Now mind you, I ordered a hinge kit first without checking to see what type I needed...don't do that...Less than 15 mins you can take the door off and see which one you need.As soon as I saw which type of hinge set I needed I went and ordered it...returned the other one. It came pretty quick.... 15 mins had that sucker changed and working... But... the door still wouldn't close on its own... Common sense told me the heat from the frosted freezer caused the door and frig walls to swell... Yes I said the heat... When the component in the freezer frosts up it does not keep the frig cool, nor will the freezer stay kool... the frost prevents the cool air from moving around...thus "HEAT".... It took a full 24 hrs for my frig n freezer to get back to normal... and now the door closes just fine... MIND YOU! I had to take the covers off the freezer unit inside, then take a steamer and melt all that frost off of every inch including down the drain... That took me a good 5-6 hours... and what a mess.... but it was worth my time.... because I don't have to replace my second hand Jenn-Air which I could never afford to buy brand new.... Whew....what we have to do to keep things going... $11 bucks worth of parts.... "Super Mom" :o)

Light switch which turns on the lights when the door opens went out
This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.

ice agitator was stuck and wouldn't dispense ice
I've been messing around with the old part for literally years. Every now and then the metal agitator rod would spin out of the plastic cup that joins it to the freezer. I'd have to disassemble it and try to get it back into alignment. This time nothing worked, so I ordered a new assembly. It arrived even more promptly than PartSelect predicted and it installed in five minutes. I couldn't be happier!

Light in the refrigerator didn't work
I did exactly as the video showed. I popped out the old switch, disconnected the two terminals, connected the new switch and put it back. The light now works! The refrigerator is over 25 years old and the switch works! What a great website this is. Couldn't of done the job without Partselect's help.
