Drip pan had rusted & was leaking water on the floor
The BIG problem was getting the old drip pan off. The bolt on top of the compressor was too long to allow the removal of the old drip pan. I removed the old drip pan by cutting most of it away with tin shears then cutting the remaining part of the pan around the bolt with a hack saw (taking care not to damage freon lines and raising the pan above the threads of the bolt so as not to damage the threads). I still had to cut half the bolt away with a hack saw by replacing the nut and cutting a third of the bolt away (above the nut), so the new pan would fit. Putting the new pan on was a breeze after that. It may be easier to just cut the bolt off altogether on top of the compressor and use the wire clips per the instructions supplied with the kit to install the new one.

Erratic light.
Simple switch repair: Unplug fridge, pull down to remove switch assembly, slip contacts off. Reverse with replacement switch. HOWEVER, check first to see if the bulb filament might be broken, as this could cause the same symptom. OR in my case, the light socket connection was the culprit. Check that too before ordering a replacement switch.

Refrigerator door gasket was torn at the bottom
After unpacking the new gasket, I laid it in the sun to warm up and become flexible. Then I removed the freezer and refrigerator doors (removing the freezer door was necessary in order to remove the refrigerator door). Then I laid the refrigerator door flat on the door, and loosened the nuts securing the gasket. I removed the old gasket. Starting at the door's bottom corner, my wife and I worked the new gasket into place, tightening the nuts as we progressed. Fitting the corners in place was the trickiest step. Then we fitted the sides, and finally the top. (I reasoned that if there were any slack, it would be best at the top.)

Brokern Door shelf end caps
The door shelves in the freezer door of my Frigidaire refrigerator were broken, rendering the shelves useless. I ordered four (4) end caps from PartSelect. The end caps arrived in about five days. I attached the caps to the ends of the door shelves and popped them into the slots on the door. It was a very easy repair!.
