Crisper Cover Frame was badly cracked at two corners. Both crispers had broken spots on their runner flanges.
We first watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgjfzdHrsak, the PartSelect repair video for this. It was helpful.
We were almost scared off by the first review on the PartSelect site, as it said the glass would not fit into the Crisper Cover Frame. Only later did we see that there was a second review lower on the page, which identified the error the first poster was making: There are two flat tabs, about 2 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide, one above each crisper opening on the underside of the frame. The glass is intended to fit snugly into these retainers, and does not slip in unless you use a flat blade screw driver first, to lever them a little wider open. Then it can slip in. The glass does fit, albeit snugly.
The erroneous review says it is 1 of 1, so initially we didn't look lower. I suggest it be moved down the page, and labeled 1 of 2.
My husband helped, and I, the wife, did the actual repair. So this is something that depends on a little dexterity, and a little patience. That is all.

Unit had stopped making ice
Ordered the icemaker replacement. unplugged the unit, followed the simple instructions and got it done in less than 30 minutes. It did take a LONG time to start making ice. But it's working now.

light not working
I used pliers to pull lightly on the head of the switch, while I inserted a small flat head screw driver into the base of switch and gently worked around the edges to free it from the panel.

Water filter light came on in my refrigerator.
Opened the water filter sleeve on the inside of my refrigerator. Removed the old water filter cartridge. It was a little stuck so I used a pliers to turn the cartridge counterclockwise. The old cartridge slipped out. I inserted the new cartridge and turned it in clockwise until it "clicked." Closed the water filter sleeve. Reset the button on my fridge. All set to go.

A part that goes between the two upper doors had broken off
I was so pleased I got the correct part on the first try!
I know manufacturers use plastic because it's cheap and lightweight, but these parts break SO EASILY and it's ridiculous. At any rate, I used a Phillips head screwdriver to take off the old part- top and bottom. Then I needed another set of hands (or use the painter's tape) to hold it in place while I screwed in the new part, top and bottom. (2 screws each). Other than needing someone to help hold it in place while I did the first 2 screws, it was simple and one person can do it --You use the masking tape to hold it for the first two top screws if you have no help. Thank you

Noisy refrigerator
I visually inspected the compressor and narrowed down the source of the noise to the freezer area. Then I removed the doors and the screws securing the divider panel. Next I removed the bottom panel of the freezer, the styrofoam insullation panel and the evaporator motor. The motor is mounted between two grommets. I replaced the grommet facing the fan blades. The aluminum reflector below the styrofoam insulation panel had also come loose. I reattached it and reassembled the refrigerator in reverse order. The noise is gone!

broken auger in the bucket assembly.
I ordered the wrong part, the ice maker assembly, because your diagram was not marked properly. I returned the part and you credited my account. Thanks. Ordered the new bucket. It worked fine. Now I have ice and crushed Ice whenever I want. Thanks.
p.s. I didnt use any tools, but to satisfy you I select nut driver.

Ice Maker would not fill.
Was concerned that new icemaker was quite a bit different than the one we were replacing. Called GE to confirm it was correct.
Went ahead and installed the unit, using the supplied electric cable adapter.
A little difficult to deal with the extra cable, but everything worked OK and it's making ice normally.

Ice cubes froze in the tray and frost was all underneath
I read stories from the website how others did it so I figured I would give it a try. I put all the frozen stuff in the refrigerator piled up. Took out the shelves. Took out 2 screws with a socket extension ( nut driver will work fine.) Remove the light bulb. lifted up on the back panel...it came right out. Saw the coils and on top the sensor. Took it off, cut the wires, spliced in the color coded new one ( pink to pink, orange to orange) Stuck it in the top coil in the original position and crossed my fingers! I put all the pieces back easily, restocked the freezer and waited. HOORAY!! My ice cubes are all separate and free. NO frost inside. A very easy fix for $20.
Note: If there is a large amount of ice build up on your coils a hair dryer works great. The drain is on the bottom anyway. Also , you may want to seal around the wire nuts to keep moisture out. I did
