Ice maker wasn't making ice
Occasionally, we'd get one batch of ice cubes and a frozen lake of water in the bottom of the ice tray.
The installation was easy and I won't bother duplicating the comments of others who have installed this part.
One word of caution: The ice maker contains a heating element on the bottom. That element is apparently live even when the ice bar is in the upper (off) position. When I unscrewed the old ice maker and went to lift it off the bolts, I severely burned my finger on the bottom of the old ice maker because apparently I started the repair in the middle of the heating cycle.
I highly recommend that you unplug the ice maker entirely before doing the replacement and gingerly ensure that the unit isn't hot before touching it. You'll save yourself a nasty burn.

The original support was broken, tried epoxy and it only held for a few months before breaking again
All I had to do was remove the original support that was on the inside wall of the refrigerator, which I had to use pliers since there were broken pieces, and then I just snapped the new one into the three holes provided for this support. The crisper drawer works fine now. It literally only took about 1 minute.

drawer and rails broke due to under design of the components
This was the second time i replaced the drawer and the first time for the frame.The repair was simply removing the old frame from the refrig and removing the rollers from the frame with screw driver. The rollers are reused with the new frame.The frame was reinstalled in the refrig.
The replacement of the drawer requires reusing the drawer front which is easily removable. The only complication with drawer repair was the need to trim some flashing that was not removed after the molding process at the factory to allow the drawer face to fit properly on the new drawer.
this problem is a quality control issue with the manufacture of the storage drawer.

ice machine was now working correctly
watched the video (VERY helpful) and then removed the old icemaker and replaced it with the new one. Difficult only because of the small working space in the side by side freezer plus you can't see what you're doing when you tighten the screws. Working like a charm now.

Slide ridges were cracked and broken
I used a small screwdriver to pry the tabs of the front glass panel loose, and then slid it upward and out of the broken storage drawer. Then I slid the panel into the front slots of the new drawer and pushed in an evenly downward manner until it snapped in place. It was an easy task and now we have a new drawer that slides smoothly.

Needed to replace ice maker which had been making clicking noises as ice got jammed and then stopped working altogether.
Followed the instructions that came with replacement ice maker...was very clear and easy to follow and only took 5 minutes. I also watched the video sent via email with my order confirmation which was very well done and easy to follow. The only information that would have helped would have been a note to wait over-night for the ice maker to make ice as I thought I did something wrong when it wasn't making ice right away....waited until morning and had lots of ice. If I knew how straight forward and easy this was, I would have done it a lot sooner.
