The Light Would Not Go On
Knew the switch was bad. Researched on the internet how to fix. Used a steak knife to pop the old one out, changed the contacts to the new switch and popped it back in. It took longer to open the box than it did to replace the switch. And the part arrived 2 days after I ordered it.

noisy refrigerator
I followed your video and completely dismantled the refrigerator evaporator motor, fan, brackets, and grommet, I completely cleaned the refrigerator including the cooling coils. I then ordered the evaporator motor ,fan, grommets, lid bumper, and brackets. The order would take a week to arrive. In the meantime I cleaned and reassembled all the old parts, waiting for the new ones to come. Guess what! The refrigerator was quiet as a mouse. I really did not need the new parts, but I kept them anyway just for good luck. Not bad for a refrigerator that's twenty four years old.

Refigerator was amking a loud noise when the fan came on to cool.
Followed the on line instructions and found the repair to be very easy. Took longer to remove the food from the freezer than to switch out the fan motor.

Freezer freezer up warm temperature in the refrigerator
This is the symptoms you have when your defroster with timer goes bad. Warm refrigerator, frozen freezer. The pants of the model of the refrigerator. There is some screws to be removed from the back panel to access to the heating coils. Make sure that the coils are defrosted, so can easy access to the heating element. You will have to unscrew hitting element out of the wall without breaking or bending the lines and gentle, remove any pens or connections on a side, and underneath to remove the heating coil harness it’s attached around very easy install putting back the same way, it should not even not experience person. It should not exceed more than half an hour. Common sense and a very important make sure all power has been disconnected before you start working.

I had condensation in freezer compartment, and local dealer said to replace freezer door seal.
When I received the freezer door gasket, I placed in in the house over heater outlet for a few hours to warm up. Then I removed old gasket, and installed new gasket. It went well, but I could detect small leaks along bottom of door gasket, so I placed small strips of Monster Tape between seal and door frame to complete the seal. I works great now, and an easy repair. Thank you

The switch was loose ( no spring). The lights did not work.
Unplug the refrigerator. Gently pry old switch out with screw driver. Move wires to connector on new switch with needle nose pliers. Pop it back into the hole. Plug back in. Peek inside to see the lights working.
