This would have been an extremely easy job if the screws behind the catch pan hadn't been rusted.

After pulling the catch pan off, we had to cut a slit for a flathead screwdriver into the heads of the screws and only the middle one came out while the other two heads broke off.

There were two other places for screws (on either side of the middle screw )that weren't being used so when we put it back together we had to drill two holes through the panel that the screws were holding in place and find screws that would fit so we could use the middle screw hole and the two that hadn't previously been used so that when we put it back together it would have some stability.

Replacing the ice actuator was easy and putting it back together was easy.

The descriptions of other repairs for this part were dead-on accurate and very helpful.

I followed the video and everything went smoothly. After pushing the pin in I pulled out the broken pin with needle nose pliers-very easy just like on the video. It took more time finding all the simple tools than the job itself-well almost!

Unscrewed tye top door bracket lifted off the door and popped on new bearing takes minutes to do. Takes more time to empty thenshelves beforentaking door off

I just followed the instruction that were already there. A piece of cake with the help for the web site.

Had to replace with a whole new part, had to take it all apart to replace

We took the door off the hinge which invovled removing the top screws on the door. The part that broke split in two pieces leaving the shank inside the bottom of the door hinge. The most challenging part of the repair was pulling that piece back out since there was very little to grab on to. Once we got that out it was easy to replace with the new piece.

Replaced shelf

I used an extended socket wrench to take the cover off and then pulled the hoses from the water filter housing, used the socket wrench to remove the cracked water filter housing and put on the new on. Put the two hoses back on and then put the cover back on and that was it. The part was $34 with shipping. Works great now and saved me a lot of money on a service call!!

I took out the broken drawer and replaced it with the new drawer

This was an easy repair. I had already read about the same problem from another of your customers and followed his directions. But more remarkable than the ease of the repair was how quickly I received the part. I ordered the part, using standard delivery, at approximately 2:00 on Thursday afternoon and received it the next morning and had the refrigerator repaired within 24 hours of ordering the part. That's service.. Thanks

This was the last step of serial repairs to the ice crusher portion of the ice maker. I have practically replaced the entire assembly. All the blades were installed incorrectly (at factory? Afterwards?) and had bent. That caused problems for other parts. I hadn't noticed that the housing was weakened and my prior repair I did something dumb and the door on housing wasn't closing properly, so it snapped. I bought a new housing and installed it. My #1 tip is WATCH THE VIDEO! There are some things that have to be put together just so. You need things to line up and be under slight tension from springs. Last time I had it under too much tension. The door got in the way of the blades and broke. So this time I was more careful to do it correctly. Everything is working perfectly now. This design is clever, and I feel like I can diagnose and fix it again in future. "Steve's" instructional videos are a huge help. He shows exactly what to do.

removed freezer door and installed the new one. This was a pretty easy thing to do, although putting the old handle on the new door was a challenge. No knowing that there is a plastic piece holding the top of the handle i broke the that piece and had to order another one. Mean while the freezer was making alot of frost inside, so that had to be cleaned after the new part came.

I ordered the replacement part, and when it arrived, I used a flat-blade screwdriver to remove the two glides from the old drawer and installed them on the new drawer by snapping them into place. Then I removed the sliding humidity control from the old drawer using gentle pressure, and installed it on the new drawer. Then I slipped the drawer into its place, loaded the vegetables into it, and was done in less than 5 minutes.

As it turns out when i pulled the drawer out and then the door holder i discovered that there was a big piece of material that was suppose to be around the water line that was causing the problem. The old drawer holder was not the problem so the new piece was not needed. All is well.
