Ice Maker Auger Jambed and Broke Helix
Removed 6 screws total and removed the entire Auger and Ice Crusher. The broken Helix just fell off, I put the new one on after a little finagaling to get it lined up right and it just snap into place. Replace the screws, put the bucket back, dumped in the Ice and the dispenser started working Fine.

Replaced dorr closure cam on both doors of side-by-side
The fridge door was easy. Just unscrew top and lift off hindge. The freezer door took longer. But I had the user guide which helped. We unhooked the power harness at the top of the door, and disconnected the water line at the bottom of the door.
Frankly, it wasn't that hard for me because I had my son-in-law do it!

The right door was sagging and the handles were rubbing together
First, remove the plastic cover off the top hinge by removing the single phillips head screw.
Removed the three hex-head screws holding the hinge to the body of the fridge and then lift the hinge off of the door.
Lift the door off the bottom hinge and place on a flat surface so you can easily access the bottom.
Remove the single hex-head screw from the center of the door part of the closure cam and pull it free. Install the new part.
Next, remove the bottom portion of the closure cam from the lower door hinge (still attached to the fridge) by removing the single hex-head screw. Install the new part.
If needed, lube the lower door hinge with Vaseline and carefully set the door back on. (This is the hard part if you are working alone, as it can be hard to line up the hole.)
Lube the top hinge, reinstall, and replace the plastic cover. Easy as 1, 2, 3.

Internal light did not come on each time the door was opened.
After disconnecting the electricity. I followed the instructions as indicated in the "HOW TO" article on the website. I used a steel putty knife and pried the light switch out of its retaining hole. I worked the right side the most since this is the side with the retaining clip. After I removed the switch I transferred the two electrical outlets to the new switch and easily snapped it into place. Engaged the electric power and tested the switch.

lower cam broke
Remove the grandkids pictures from the door then empty the contents inside the door. Remove the top hinge cover and the top hinge bracket. Lift the door off the bottom pivot. Replace the lower cam by removing one screw. With the door in the horizontal position, remove and replace the upper cam. Apply a little grease on both cam surfaces. Align the door before tightening the top bracket and your done. If you did not take a picture of the door before you started the project you will have to rely on memory to arrange the pictures in the proper location.

light staying on
A very cold and brittle switch in a 17 year old fridge. Used screwdrivers to pry out with some resistance Had to cut the molded plug in half and split wires, because replacement contacts were farther apart than the original. End result, works great.
