Fridge making LOUD humming sound.
Started removing screws until I got to the fan (it's easy). Then just took out the old fan and put the new one back in the same way. The only challenging part was putting the clamp back on the fan, but I finally got it. The fridge is finally quiet and we can sleep again! PartSelect made it really easy and they were incredibly fast. Thanks!

Defroster fan burned up
First I removed the ice tray rack lifting it out of the way to reach the back cover of the fan. Then, the whole back inside panel had to be removed. Two screws removed the fan and bracket from the freezer unit. The missing bumper lid just snapped into place. Replaced everything in reverse order. Pretty easy job.

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.

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.

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

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.
