broken ice at the door trap door
The ice to the door has not worked for the last 2 years. My wife complained about not having crushed ice to drink with. We looked at buying a new refrigerator. I went back online to look for the broken part again (I have looked in the past but never found the part). I stumbled on this website and found the part and it was only $4.00 and change. Only needed 10 minutes and my hands to snap the part in place. I do need a new ice bucket but it works for now and my wife is happy.

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.

Filter stopped up. Causing the refrigerator to make a loud noise. water dispenser didn't work. less than 4.00 fixed all that
Shut off water supply. filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the refrigerator on the inside. open the drop-down door. by hand pull the filter downward. then twist it to the left one quarter turn. it should pull out. I replaced it with a filter bypass plug. you can purchase a high quality filter to replace.it don't buy cheap filter.I made that mistake! hope this helps good luck!

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.

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.

The door clicked when opened or closed.
I followed the other web notes with one change .Since I too forgot the lube , I used a pry bar and block of wood to lift the door and a tooth pick to glob some lube in the lower hinge.

The ice storage bin broke and the ice driver sleeve broke. Needed replacement to make the ice dispenser work.
removed ice bin from the fridge. snaped off the front plate. Removed 4 screws. this led to freeing up the auger. removed it and put the auger into the new bin and replace the front parts. Put storage bin back into fridge. Done. Might want to keep some ice cubes in a separte container until done. Not hard.

The ice crusher quit working
Removed the old one put in a new one, fairly simple. Would have been much easier if I had called the manufacturer first then ordered the part. The first part I ordered was the ice bucket, I thought I was getting the crusher mechanism, but it turned out to be the bucket only. When I finally got the right part it was really easy. I went ahead and kept the new bucket anyway.
