Freezer just quit working. I could turn thermostat off. Click ever few seconds would stop..I figured the thermostat was good compressor not starting
First unplug it and pull away from wall to gain access to the Rear of freezer.
From the rear of the freezer. You can clearly see the compressor.....I had to lay in the floor. Best way to see what your doing .
Attached to the side of the compressor
Is square cover over the start relay..it has a metal bail that retains the cover. Simply remove the strap with a flat blade screwdriver the cover can then be removed. A flashlight and screwdriver is all I needed
The switch body plugs onto the compressor with pins or blades. Mine broke in a few pieces by the time it was completely removed. The start switch has very tight connections so its a bit of a struggle to get it off. ..stick screw driver behind it and try pry evenly until its off..secure new switch on the pins and push it in ..there is one single wire attached to the start switch no confusion there.install cover and its retainer and its done..

Shelf on door broke
The plastic ends that held the shelf on broke off, once my new ends came in the mail I had to attach them to the metal bar that holds the condiments in the door's shelf. To do this I had to hammer the ends of the shelf a little to get the caps to fit. Once they were on I put the ends of the caps into the holes on the door and had to push down with some force to get them to snap in. Very easy once I realized I had to push harder than I expected to get them to snap in. It's great to have my shelf back!

Defroster didn't work
Ordered a new defroster timer and replace old one. It works just fine. A $35 repair vs a $500 new appliance.
Cool.

No freezing or cold in either freezer or refridgerator - compressor did not run.
Traced issue to defrost timer ( burned compressor & element contacts). This unit is mounted next to the temperature adjustment control in the refridgerator area - right in front. Removal of plastic cover provided easy access to the timer. Unit unscrews from the mounting then unplugs. Installation is reverse of removal.

Refer iced up and would not keep the bottom cool. It was 70 Farenheit inside.
I simply removed 4 screws holding the casing and then 2 more holding the timer. It was very easy. I then replaced the timer by unplugging and plugged the new one in. I replaced all the screws and the job was done. Less than 30 minutes. I was very impressed with the shipping time. When I ordered the part, I had it the next day.

End caps broken - shelf kept falling off
Snapped the end caps onto the existing shelf, and eased the assembly into the door slots. Light tapping with a hammer was required to fully seat the assembly into the door. All in all, a straightforward and simple repair.

Freezer built ice, fridge not cold enough and running constantly.
Removed front low grill, removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the wires. Reversed process to install new timer.
