replaced the refrigerator door gasket
The original gasket had ripped and the magnet strip was hanging out. Following information from several youtube video clips & suggestion from the seller, I soaked the gasket in a tub of hot water for 30min to make it more pliable. After removing the old gasket, I put on the new, which only appeared to just snap into a metal tract. However the door couldn't seal. There were big gaps. That is when I realized that the gasket was still rigid. So I took a heat gun and carefully blew hot air on the gasket as I pulled it out enough for the metal edge of the gasket to attach itself to the refrigerator. Took quite a while to get it to seal correctly, but seems to be working well now.

Frezzer would freeze up, refrigerator stayed cold, solved the problem. Now the refrigerator seems to be running more than usual.
Checked the defroster coil which is located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment, it was still working. Followed the schematics down to the defrost timer, which is located in the lower front of the refrigerator and tried that. Plugged in the new part and the problem is solved.

The old gaskets were not sealing properly.
removed the old gaskets with the putty knife to pry it loose then pulled the old gaskets off. Soaked the new gaskets in slightly boiling water to make them better able to straighten out and then installed by lining them up and pressing them in place, making sure they were lined up and that they were in the track provided for them.

Broken Vegetable Pan Cover
I replaced the Vegetable Pan Cover myself and it looks and fits great. The hardest job was unloading so that the previous cover could be taken out. I was proud of myself for being able to do this job myself without any help. Ordering and receiving the part was so easy that I will always use Parts Select. Thanks again. Juaneese

failed light switch
I started removing the switch by prying on the right side with a screwdriver, when it emerged enough I used pliers to finish removing it. I then unpluged rhe wires from the bad switch and pluged them on the new switch and "poped" it into the hole.

Refrigerator and freezer too warm
1) This is a built-in refrigerator with the compressor, coils, etc. at the top. Turn off the breaker to the fridge. 2) Remove the front panel off the top (just push up and pull out). 3) Removed 2 screws to the old timer and carefully remove the plug. Plug the new timer in and screw in. 4) Since our fridge was heavily frosted up, we moved everything to another refrigerator and coolers and kept the refrigerator off until all panels were room temperature. 5) If you haven't cleaned the coil in a while, vacuum it with a soft brush attachment. 6) Turned back on and the refrigerator is cooler than ever!

Sides of old shelf cracked
Pulled out old shelf and put in new one. However the new shelf is too narrow and will break at some point just like the old one. Apparently no way to fix this issue.
