Fridge not cold enough
The freezer was still making ice, but the fridge portion was barely cooler than room temp. I came to the website and saw that the defrost thermostat cured this problem over half the time. I was quite dubious because I don't see how that would affect the non-freezer part of the compartment, but since it was a cheap and easy-looking repair, I figured what the heck, lets see if that's it. Sure enough, it's like new again. I still don't understand it, but I'll take it. The repair itself is simple, just cutting out the old switch and splicing in the new. Two wires, and clip it to the copper tubing where the old one was. The switch is accessed easily after taking out four screws in the back of the freezer compartment. The only hard part was removing the ice-maker, and that's just because the two screws that hold it in are a little hard to get a good grip on. Alas, you have to get the ice-maker out to pull out the back panel, so there's nothing for it but to wheedle those screws out.

A shelf in my daughter's refrigerator broke
I got the model number and because you offered diagrams I was able to order the correct replacement. The piece slid right in and I thought it was miraculous. It was so easy.

broken door rack
took the old one out, put the new one in. Will be an ongoing problem due to the flimsy nature of the rack. Refrigerator is in a rental unit. Great to know parts a just a phone call away, and arrive super fast.

Replace the handle mount
When I was moving the refrig. handles from one side to the other...I broke one of the mounts. It was SO easy to order from this place, and they ship IMMEDIATELY. Second time I have used them, and am VERY impressed.

Broken door handle
Just unscrewed the two screws holding the handle and replaced the handle and rescrewed the screws. This was the second handle to be replaced but this time it was the original handle part and not a cheap knock off that i first ordered from another company. Thanks Partslect.com for having the original part.

the racks on my doors had snapped and I needed new ones
I just put them right on. Took about a minute to figure on the right way to put the racks on (push them down from the top, until they snap into place), and it was done in less than five minutes. I was worried that this wouldn't work - I couldn't find the exact item # to replace the racks that had been on there. But it turns out that they are pretty interchangeable - the sub racks that the website suggested worked perfectly for me.

Freezer door handle broke off.
We'd read a review on this site and thus knew we'd need a Robertson Screwdriver. Luckily my brother had one in a set he owned...was thrilled to have a use for it...and we picked it up before the part arrived...which only took a few days. UPS Drop to functioning door...less than ten minutes!

Evap coil was solid ice, fridge was 64 degrees.
Exactly as the video showed, except I had to take the evap coil cover off and use a hair dryer to thaw it out. It was still frosting up too much, so I ordered the thermostat as well. Both were really easy, once i saw the location of the defrost timer and the thermostat. Thanks for the great site, prices that put the big store to shame, and the good video too!
