The light inside the oven had burned out
0. As a safety precaution, unplug the range or hit the relevant fuse breaker before you start. You might also want to grab a flashlight. Definitely do not try to do this while the oven is hot.
1. Pinch the wire over the light bulb cap to remove it. This is inside the oven at the back.
2. Pop off the hemispherical glass cap.
3. Unscrew the old light bulb, and screw the new light bulb in its place.
4. Put the cap back.
5. Secure the cap by putting the wire back in its slots on the cap.
No tools needed, the cap is just held in place with pressure from the wire.

Door ice dispenser did not work. The freezer ice maker stopped working years ago.
I am 70 and identified the problem and ordered the part. I watched a video lots of times that showed how to... slowing it down to catch details.
It is very easy... and the only problem was that when you are trying to get the assembly out you need a lot of hand strenght that I don't have.
My son easily wriggled and loosened it and out it came. Plug in the wires and pop the new unit in.
Two hours later I heard the delightful sound of ice dropping into the bucket and amazingly the bottom freezer started making ice too!
There is no mention that they are related but it did. We thought the freezer sensor had died but it all works!
You can do it! Best, pb

Ice Maker stopped workiing
Hardest part of repair was getting frig. away from cabinets to unplug it.
Turn off water to ice maker.
Phillips's screwdriver to take off the cover of the electrical connection to
the icemaker tip it outward. I used flat head screwdriver to help disconnect the connection.
Also, to help getting the old icemaker removed. Once removed returned New one the reverse of taking it out. Won't need screwdriver to get it back in place. Put cover back in place and put the Phillips screw back in place. Plug refrig. back in. put it back in place turn the water back on should be good to go! BE afew hrs. before ice starts to show up!
Good Luck

Yearly replacement of filter
Moved stuff out of my way on the top shelf, reached in and turned old filter to remove. Filled new filter with water, lined up and turned to lock in place. Whew, never thought I would get that job done. :-)

Auto water stopped working, found that filter needed replacement
Unscrewed old cartridge, ordered new cartridge, installed new cartridge by following very simple instructions. Took only one day for part to arrive from PartSelect although I paid for cheapest shipping, which was "ground." I was amazed!

Water dispensed at a trickle
I only had to remove the old filter and install the new one - all by hand. I then ran about 1 to 1and1/2 gallons of water through the filter to clear it.
A WORD OF CAUTION - HOLD YOUR GLASS CLOSE TO THE WATER DISPENSER FOR THE INITIAL FILLING - IT WILL SPIT UNTIL THE AIR IS PURGED FROM THE SYSTEM!!!
An extremely easy repair.
