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.

I had to cut the replacement bars to the correct length. But everything else was easy. The quality of the repacement bars is much better than the originals. Thanks!

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.

The Dairy door was cracked by an item in the refrigerator and broke into two pieces
This was not technical at all. The old door fell out and the replacement door snapped right into position. It was simple.

Evaporator was freezing up and was running non stop
I tested the components in the refrigerator defrost function. I used digital multimeter and checked for continuity. Defrost thermostat must 32 degrees or lower.

Refrigerator did not cycle
Installation was fairly straight forward. The major complaint is that the problem returned 2 weeks later. I don’t know if I care to re-invest in another switch.
Now what?
Now what?

Fan motor in the freezer was not working. The freezer was still cool enough to keep the food froozen, but the refrigerator was not keeping the food cool and the liquids were getting warmer than normal.
Very easy process. Watch the YouTube video, it goes step by step for the repair. The part was $33, shipping was $6. Take your time and fix it yourself or pay $500 for a new refrigerator.

The end cap for the lower door shelf broke
Removed the broken end cap piece from the shelf retainer bar. You need to pry up the little metal tabs with a screwdriver to remove the end cap, then slide in the new one and crimp down the tabs with the pliers. super easy. Replacement part was identical so it fit perfectly.

I was missing the bar and end caps for the bottom shelf
I purchased a left and right end cap and the bar but I ended up with 2 right end caps of different sizes. Partselect happily accepted my return and shipped the correct part. I hadn't had a bottom condiment shelf for over 4 years. It's nice to have one now. It was easy. Just popped on one end cap, slid the bar on, slid on the other end cap (had to force a little) and popped on that end cap. Voila! new shelf.
