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.

Freezer and refrigerator stopped cooling
The site offers a video for this part which worked perfectly. In addition to replacing the part, since the cardboard panel was off, we also cleaned all the dust off of the coils which someone recommended to do annually.

Door shelf bar broke
This was a really simple repair. The hardest part was getting the broken piece of the plastic end cap out of the metal retainer bar. I had to use a small screwdriver to gently pry it out of the two notches in the retainer bar. Then I just slipped on the new part, and snapped the whole retainer bar into the fridge door and that was it.
If the end cap doesn't lock into place when you slide it into the metal retainer bar, you may need to bend the bar (gently) to get the notches around the plastic clips. You don't need a lot of force to do this since all you want is to lock the end cap in place.

Lightning struct the house and fried the evap thermostat
Noticed the evap fan wasn't working, so trying to disconnect the wire broke the connection so had to order a new motor. Installed the motor but it still didn't work. Had a technician look at it and he said it was the control board. Ordered and installed control board and still didn't work. The only element left is the evap thermostat. Jumped the thermostat and it worked so ordered and installed a thermostat. It works now
