plastic sidewall of drawer split
ordered new drawer, removed the clear plastic front piece from old one and installed on the new one. It was delivered only one or two days after I ordered it and was in perfect condition. Excellent service.

Freezer wasn't cooling - compressor not engaging
Ordered the Capacitor and the Thermostat Control. Parts were received in a matter of a few days, easy to install, but did not fix the problem. Had to call a repairman to fix the problem (compressor relay - this part not available to order for this model number with Parts Select). Will continue to use Parts Select in the future for other parts, but not happy that the actual part I needed was not available - had to use other methods.

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.

Ice maker stopped producing Ice.
After determining the ice maker was getting water but not harvesting the ice, I ordered a replacement Ice Maker. Installation was easy. One electrical connection and two screws. Following the video to make sure I did not miss any steps I had ice in just a few hours. Just in time for a July heat wave!

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.
