Door Gasket was damaged and required full replacement
The repair was very, very easy. The old Gasket was easily removed by pulling at (1) of the (4) corners and simply pull from slot around the full perimeter of the door. No tools of any kind are needed. Replacement of the new Gasket was simply to again start at (1) corner by pushing new gasket into the perimeter slot and using fingers push into the door grove all the way around. This install took no more than 10-15 minutes max.

Lower handle broke.
Open refrigerator door to gain access to top door handle mounting screws. Remove two screws at top of the handle on the refrigerator door. Slide handle up to release the bottom mount. The handle is now removed. The bottom screw remains in the door. To install the handle slide the mount onto the bottom screw and check the fit. If the fit is loose screw it in clockwise and check the fit again. Adjust the screw until the bottom fits flush with the door face. Align the top two mounting screws and snug them up. Close the door and align the bottom handle with the top handle. Open the door and do a final tighten on the top two screws. Be careful not to over tighten because you can crack it.

Original gasket damaged at bottom
At first I tried to insall the new gasket with the door still attached to the refrigerator. It was difficult to assure that the bottom of the gasket was properly installed at the bottom. As a result I removed the door from the refrigerator, finished installing the gasket and then put the door back on the refrigerator

Replaced the heater-core motor
It was fairly easy. Only had to remove the back cardboard. Remove 3 screws and the power plug.
Replacing the screws took a little time the motor mount didn't seem to be tapped exactly for the screws supplied and it was in a tight area. Its working great now.
