Light hinge broke
Repair was tremendously easy. All I did was remove old light switch by prying out with screw driver and plugging in the new light switch and pushing it into the hole. Simple! The instructions weren't needed, but they were very thorough.

Broken refrigerator compartment light switch.
The best part of the repair was how easy it was to find and order the part. Instead of searching the parts houses around town I just went to the PartSelect web site, quickly found and ordered the part in about five minutes, received the part the next day at my home and was ready to make the repair. Wow! What a pleasure for something to work the way it was meant to. Removed old switch located by prying out with sharp knife or screwdriver. Don't worry about breaking it or cracking plastic. Disconnect(unplug) wires from back of switch. Replace (plug-in) wires on back of new switch. Insert in location of old switch. Finisheed.

replaced ice maker with ice tray shelf
Disconnected electrical plug between ice maker and frig. Removed 3 screws holding ice maker in place and removed ice maker. Ice tray shelf only uses the upper 2 screw locations. It would have been helpful if I had been told that the original screws holding the ice maker would not work because they are too short, and that I would need some special washers/spacers that fit the new shelf. Luckily I had longer screws available and I was able to fabricate the washers from some scrap plastic. Installed successfully.

The refrigerator side is too cold, ice maker and water do not work.
I'm a pretty handy person generally but I had to call on my engineer neighbor to help. I've never soldered before so I didn't feel comfortable installing the thermistor. I had everything ready for him so all he did was cut the existing thermistor out, strip the wires on the replacement , solder and tape and he was seriously done in 10 minutes! I replaced everything and plugged the fridge in to find that my fridge still freezes everything. I have now ordered the damper control and gasket to hopefully fix this problem.

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.

The center support rail (plastic) for the crisper bins broke at the front end support plate. No obvious way to fix it.
I easily identified the needed part from the diagram on the PartSelect.com site and ordered it. It arrived within three business days (standard shipping). It simply popped into place in the respective slots in the bin frame--no tools needed. The whole process cost less than $11.00 with more than half of the cost going for shipping.

Broken light switch
Part was easy to order, delivered quickly, installation very easy. Just unplug the unit, pop out the old swich using a screwdriver, disconnect and reconnect leads and pop switch back in. Definitely recommend that you can do it too.

Lights didn't always come on when was opened
Used a screwdriver to pry loose the old switch, swapped wires to the new switch and pushed it into the opening. Took about 2 minutes.
