On July 22, 2007, Bra'er Bear broke into our mountain home near Tahoe City, California and proceeded to get into the refrigerator and the freezer (at the top of the fridge) and dine on most of the contents of both sections. When the bear got into the freezer he/she worked over the food that was on

Repair was simple.....order the ends from Parts Select and upon arrival place them on the ends of the shelf. Hence, no tools....just fingers.

the compressor capacitor overheated

it was great. I ordered the capacitor for my frigidaire frig and it arrived
in 3 days. plugged in the part to the compressor and my frig has been
working ever since. I spent 3 minutes ordering the part and 30 seconds
attaching it to the frig. Easy, very easy. saved myself a 75 dollar repair
visit. thanks

broken glass shelf

The "repair" itself was only a replacement of a glass shelf but I just wanted to say that I ordered this part mid-day wednesday and when I got home from work thursday night it was on my deck, I was shocked. Also it was glass and was very securely packaged Great job parts direct.

freezer frosted up and air could not circulate to the food section, causing the temperature to get warm, 55 degrees

I followed the procedure online and found the thermostat was ok, it had continuity when cold, and the heater coil was also ok, it too had continuity, therefore the problem was a bad defrost timer. the refrigerator works great, thanks parts select!

I dropped the glass insert while cleaning it and it shattered in a million pieces

I went to the internet to find the replacement glass and shocked at some of the prices....I found PartSelect.com on a blog and the prices were nearly 50% less than the other suppliers. Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong part the first time and had to send it back but after speaking to a Customer Service Rep, I got the right part ordered, recieved it two days later and "voila"....fit perfectly....I so grateful to PartSelect.com for their assistance and the pricing is fabulous..

Freezer Worked Fine, Refrigerator Was 47 Degrees

I went on partselect put in make and model number, a list showed the probable cause. I watched the how to video. When I received the part in short order I loosened 2 screws disconnected the wiring plug (sprayed it with contact cleaner) pluged it in, removed screws from old part put them in new one. Put timer back in its location and tightened the screws. Very eazy, works fine.

Freezer was cold bit the refrigerator was warm.

Based on the diagnosis on this site I thought the 66% odds of the problem being the Defrost Timer looked pretty good, $30 including shipping versus a Sears tech phone estimate of $250-300. BINGO! Just follow the online installation instructions and don't forget to use the reset switch as described. Works like new! THANK YOU
