door closer spring had broken
A pretty easy, remove and replace, project. The spring that closes the fridge door had broken. Just pulled out the old part on top of the appliance and put in the new part. I noticed that part of the problem was that the bottem hinge needed a little lubrication too, as the door wasn't closing as easy as it should with the new part installed. I can't complain though, the side by side fridgeadaire is getting old and this was a very easy fix.

evaporator freezing up/no defrost cycle
The defrost timer is faily easy to replace, first unplug the unit, then remove the toe gaurd, then lay on the floor with your light and phillips screwdriver, locate the 2 screws at the lower left side, remove them and the timer and it's shield will drop down. unplug the old timer, plug the new one in and re-install everything. The temp sensor is located in the back of the freezer compartment. Again make sure the unit is unplugged, remove freezer shelves and lower basket, then with a 1/4" nut driver, remove the screws holding the rear panel on, remove the panel and locate the sensor on the upper evaporator tube, unclip it and disconnect the 2 wires, reverse procedure and plug it back in. Not to get on a soap box, but this is the 3rd time i have had the same problem with this unit, plus several other problems.

freezing up
I damaged the timer while moving the fridge and did not realize it and it took 10 minutes to change out. "note" don't panic when it don't come immediately there is a dial in the front of the timer you can turn with a flat head screwdriver that will activate the timer

Somewhat difficult to separate the front of the drawer so it could be reapplied.
Once we got the front piece off and washed it thoroughly it snapped onto the new piece readily. Perfect fit.

Fridge door handle broke off, replaced it.
Very simple - removed the plates that cover the end of the handel, then removed the screws and the broken handle. There were four screws - did a top one, then a bottom one, then the other top and bottom one. Made sure they were on tight and put the covers back on. Really proud of myself!

first fresh food too hot, then freezer too hot
Based on the website I decided it was most probably the defrost timer, and that was correct. I ordered it, watched the video, and two days later the part was at my door. Took the nut driver, removed 4 screws, then removed the old defrost timer, installed the new one, re-installed the whole plastic assembly with the four screws, and done!!! Couldn't have been easier.

Frost in freezer, fridge not cold
From most posts I've read, the defrost timer was the culprit so I blindly ordered one. Easy install but did not fix the problem so I broke out the ohm meter. The only other 2 items it could be all tested good with my meter so I bypassed the defrost thermostat (per forum help...actually quite easy)and it defrosted fine, which told me I needed a new defrost thermostat. Installed fairly easy and problem gone.
