Coke can exploded when dropped and some got on the switch making it stick in off positionmaking thehe switch stik
Pried the switch on the bottom with a flathead screwdriver, twisted it and the switch came out far enough to take it out by hand. The bottom of the switch has to be raised upward a little because the connectors are on top of the switch. Changed the wires from the old switch to the new one, one at a time. Insert the new switch. Saved a repair call, and probably a more expensive switch. Less then 15 minutes.

Light Switch stopped working
Used screw driver to lightly remove the old switch. Disconnected the 2 electrical leads to the old switch, then I connected those leads to the new switch. The light immediately came back on and I placed the switch into its housing hole and popped it in place. It works perfectly now. My wife said "let there be light"! Very easy installation. Thanks.

Dropped a glass bowl hitting and breaking off the light switch.
Ordered the part and within three working days the part was delivered. It took two minutes to pry off the broken part and one minute to snap in the new one.

Broken light switch - refrigerator side
It really was as simple as the other folks noted. Slid a screwdriver into the edge of the broken switch and it popped right out. Disconnected and reconnected each of the two wires and just slid the switch back into the slot. Truly a DIY fix.

Broken light switch cause lights in fridge to remain on the fridge became warm enough to brown hammer
Things fall out of my refrigerator frequently thus the broken lite switch. Thought tape would solve until new part arrived. Thank goodness part came the next day as even with tape on and door close and light bulbs removed fridge read door as open and would not cool It is programmed not to run with door open. Within 24 hours part was delivered, unbelievable . It was that fast. Easy insertion and plugged in to the wiring and my refridge once more recognized the door was shut and began cooling. Thanks again

Light switch broken on inside of refrigerator door
The light switch was accidentally broken. I looked it up on your site and found the part. I ordered it and switched it out in a matter of minutes. It also helped having people who purchased their switches from the site explain how they repaired their switches with relative ease.

Loud noise from the freezer area during the defrost cycle
Removed all the freezer inside panels to inspect the motor before I ordered the part. It looked like a relatively easy job to change it. I also watched the really nice video on the website that re-inforced my confidence in doing the job. The part came in a few days. I disassembled the freezer interior exactly as the video showed.(Warning: be careful with the styrofoam piece if the fridge is not fully defrosted. The ice build-up could cause it to break when trying to pull it out!)The only problem I had was getting the little collar on and off the motor fan shaft, and getting the fan off the shaft. I had to pull really hard for it to come loose and then I had to push really hard to get it back on the new motor shaft. I didn't know if could have used any kind of lubricant or not, so I didn't. After that the re-assembly inside the freezer went well, being careful to put everything back in the correct order and position. Started the fridge back up and it has been running very quietly ever since. But, most important, my wife was impressed with my work and is very pleased with the result!

Refridgerator was warm, Evaporator Fan was stuck
Followed the video by Parts select. Very accurate to remove and replace. The only trouble I ran into was getting the clip back onto the fan blade shaft! Have to improvise and use a wirenut to spread it and it went right onto the shaft. Now working perfectly! Thanks for the video and the fast part service shipping...
