The door activated light switch was missing.

Light socket missing in refrigerator
Frig parts had been scavenged in an apartment complex. Restoring socket was only a matter of plugging in two spade contacts and clipping in socket.

Bad switch for door prevented interior light from coming on
Just as your video described, although due to the age of the fridge, it took a bit longer to remove the defective switch. Your video made this so simple, I can't imagine why we lived with a dark fridge for so long! I was ready to buy a whole new fridge, as repairmen are often nonexistent for small repairs. I am the biggest fan of your company & it's repair video. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Hard to get started at the corners because it was hard to see the slot.
My wife and I followed the installation video & put the gasket in hot water. We struggled to get it started in the second corner on top. Gasket had cooled down so wasn't wanting to go in the slot. I finally got the bright idea to use a hair dryer to warm the gasket as we pushed it along.
That helped us finish the installation.
Not sure the new gasket is the complete answer to the leakage at the top of the door (forming ice crystals). The MAGNETS ARE WEAK compared to my 1 year old GE top freezer refrigerator!
My newer refrigerator "snaps" shut.

Gaskets needed replacement to maintain correct temperature in the refrigerator and freezer
Removing the old gaskets was very simple. Replacing the fresh door gasket was the most time consuming. It would have been easier if I had help, it took a some time and patience. The gasket works perfectly. The freezer gasket was easy to replace. The gaskets fit perfectly, thank you. For the ladies out there, you if I can do it, so can you.

The old gaskets were not sealing properly.
removed the old gaskets with the putty knife to pry it loose then pulled the old gaskets off. Soaked the new gaskets in slightly boiling water to make them better able to straighten out and then installed by lining them up and pressing them in place, making sure they were lined up and that they were in the track provided for them.

Frezzer would freeze up, refrigerator stayed cold, solved the problem. Now the refrigerator seems to be running more than usual.
Checked the defroster coil which is located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment, it was still working. Followed the schematics down to the defrost timer, which is located in the lower front of the refrigerator and tried that. Plugged in the new part and the problem is solved.

Fridge too warm, fan sounding stressed
Removed lower and rear panels in freezer. Coils were completely iced over. Thawed coils with hair dryer using towels to absorb water. Cut the 2 wires (orange and yellow) of the thermostat unclipped and removed it. Cut short the wires of the new thermostat. Spliced new wires with remaining old ones using the wire nuts (2). Wrapped the splices with the electrical tape and clipped the new thermostat back into place. In the fridge section removed the box which holds the light socket, temp setting dial, etc. Inside unclipped the main connector which powers the light in order to remove the entire box. Unclipped existing defrost timer using the needle nosed pliers to gently wedge the clip away from the timer. Connected new timer and reassembled unit. Problem was really the thermostat, I decided it might be a good idea to replace everything, would have replaced the heater but I tested it for continuity and it was good.
