No cool in lower refrigerator
I’m a technician,I was contacted by a customer. After listening to the customers issue I determine the freezer evaporator fan was bad. Real easy job loosen the hex head screws on top of the ice maker and pull it straight up. Disconnect ice maker wiring harness.remove the two top 1/4” screws that hold the back cover on and pull it forward. Disconnect your wiring harness and remove the whole back panel. Lay the back panel face down on the floor and remove two metal clips that are up at the top with a flat head screwdriver. Center plastic panel slides up and out maybe necessary to take a flat head screwdriver to the very top to release the plastic clip. Pull your fan blade off. On the backside of the motor just take and twist the flat plastic piece counterclockwise and remove your motor and install the new one Reassemble in the opposite order.

Ice maker failed
Watched YouTube video. Very easy. Used my cell phone camera in ‘selfie’ mode propped up in the upper right hand corner of freezer to see the 2 hidden screws.

Replacing Icemaker
Pull refrigerator from wall and disconnect the water line and unplug the power.
On top of the icemaker, two machine screws hold the icemaker to the side of the refrigerator. You will have to feel around to find the machine screws, but once you do, it is simple to slip the appropriate size socket over the hex heads. I found it helpful to have an extension on the socket wrench. Disconnect the power cable inside the refrigerator (there are little pressure clips on the side that help release the cable) and move it out of the way for the time-being.
Back out both machine screws several turns, but do not remove them completely. The icemaker slips over the screws, so leaving them in the side of the refrigerator makes that process a lot easier. Hand tighten the machine screws once you have positioned the new icemaker in place. One thing to be sure and do is make sure the water line hose coming out of the back of the refrigerator inside is on top of the icemaker. It fits into a slot in the top of the icemaker - failing to do this will result in water pouring into the freezer compartment, not into the icemaker..
Reconnect the power cable to the new icemaker and tuck it up behind the icemaker assembly. Tighten the machine screws completely, but do not over-tighten.
Reconnect the water line on the back of the refrigerator at the wall, and plug in the refrigerator. You should hear the unit fill immediately.
In about an hour you should have ice filling the bin. Enjoy!

The lining of the gaskets were falling apart and the freezer was defrosting
I ordered a freezer gasket/insulation lining; just pulled the old one out and put in pressed in the new one; solved the problem easily. Then the refrigerator gasket was falling apart. I was ready to buy a new refrigerator but then I got laid off from work. I ordered the 2nd gasket. It did not fit easily at all. My husband had to man-handle and stretch it; then it worked, as worked well ever since. Spent $250 instead of $1250+. Thanks. P.S. Could not find the year of the frig.

Shelf door retainer was broken
Our refrigerator door shelf retainer had broken on the side which basically put one shelf out of commission in our fridge. I looked up our fridge on partselect and found the correct retainer and ordered it. The part came very quickly, within just a few days. If fit perfectly and I'm very happy with the part, the speed of delivery, and ease of ordering. I will definitely use partselect again.

very nioce rental unit, people slammed door w/Crisprers open
No big deal. Placed the order, got the replacement. Put them in and that was that! The great thing is, I have a perfect refrigerator for new renters. It would have been a lost rent without these easy to get parts. Thank you.
