The large shelf in my 16 year old refrigerator cracked in two.
I simply installed the shelf by placing the built in hooks in the door. I called the 800 number to order because I wasn't sure what the part was called. I received superb help from a real person!! The part arrived very quickly; within 2 days. I am very pleased to have the refrigerator intact again.

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)

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!

Plastic door closure was broken
The DIY video was very handy and precise to every visual detail needed for anyone to do their very own repair. It doesn't get any better than that.

actuator arm broken
Removed broken arm, repositioned spring and reinstalled with new arm. Very Easy. I was suspicious as the part did not look like the old one, but the part info said that it would work with my model, and, of course, it did.

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.

Expected repair instructions to come with
I had watched my handyman take the old auger out realign it so I knew pretty much what to do, that adjustment did not work so I had to order new auger. Problem was lining up the screw holes, metal to ice box, just did not want to work. After about an hour of trying realized that the nylon grooves t the bottom could be slid in from each side after the holes were matched--hard to explain. Being female seems to take us longer to think this out.

Both light bulbs had been replaced, but lights did not turn on.
I tried to remove the old light switch using a putty knife and a hammer. It was hard to compress the plastic tabs to pull it back through the hole, but all of a sudden, the lights came on. I guess banging on the switch freed-up the contacts. The new switch is now a spare part in case I need it.

Plastic wheel was broken- we found parts in drink
There were 23 parts to be removed in order to replace part. So I printed out a diagram of the parts off the computer and the labled each part on the diagram with its name. I laid them all out in order and patiently re-assembled the ice maker. When finished, I gave a cheer!
