Freezer no freezing the food
Disconnect the power. To install the Defrost timer which is located inside the console at the top of the fridge I followed a YouTube video. It is very easy. Keep in mind that the Defrost timer comes settled in defrost mode so the compressor will not start after the power is reconnected.There is a hole in the console just behind the Defrost timer where you engaged it with a flat driver and rotate the clock until the compresor start. Now the compressor works for 6 hours and stop for 20 minutes for the defrosting cicle. The freezer now is freezing the meat!!

Crisper glass shelf installed
Just like the video , just pull out the crisper drawers and slide the new one in. I also made sue that I had a quilt on the floor in case I dropped the glass shelf. Also if you are not sure of the model number you can try calling the store where you bought the appliance at which I had to do. I bought it at Conns and they just needed the phone number I used when I bought it.

You have sent the wrong part for the THIRD time. You have sent aaccess cover that is TWO INCHES too short. It does not cover the opening, and you will not answer your phones.
There is no way to complete the repair with the wrong part, You have had my order since June 22nd, 2020 and the incorrect part arrived October 27th, 2020. You charged $7.79 plus $1.06 tax and $9.95 shipping. Please refund the entire amount including the shipping, since I did not ask you to ship the incorrect amount.

I purchased a refrigerator for the first time, and didn't realize it lacked a freezer shelf!
The part fit perfectly. I simply placed the ends on the holes on the side wall inside the refrigerator, and the other end of the shelf slipped right into the matching holes on the other side. That easy!

refrigerator handle cracked totally at the top screw area. Handle non functional
I used Gorilla glue to replace the handle at the screws-pressed hard and left to dry. The replacement handle (s),( had to buy two-guess the manufacturerer expects the other one to crack too!) are hanging in the garage until the glue releases, if it does. NEVER had a refrigerator handle crack before and I am 81 yrs old. Product made to be defective as this is the second repair I've had to have on this refrig., other one a just under 1 year and concerned the freezer dripping water. The refrig is within 2 yrs. Yikes!

Broken meat pan on Kenmore refrig
Just slid it in. Fit perfectly. Called the Help Line just to double check that the pan would fit and they assured me it would. Pan cost $20 less than through the Sears site because of lower price, lower shipping and no taxes. Oh, and the pan came in just two days. Very happy.

Hook on end of snap-on freezer bin broke.
The existing bin fell off when the hook broke as the freezer door was opened. Finding and ordering the replacement part was about as simple as it can be. Delivery time was less than a week. Replacing the bin was just a matter of snapping it in place, which took all of 5 seconds.
