Freezer work refierator compartment is warm
Defrost timer is hidden in the control panel in the refrigerator top middle. Turn to off and remove two screws which are hidden behind white tabs. I had to pry the old timer from the plug with a screw driver because it was tight. Try not to short across the terminals. Plug in the new timer. Replace it in the clip where you got old one and reinstall the controls. The freezer was still all frosted up so I had to remove the cover and defrost it with a hair dryer to get it to work. Then I turned it on and it works great.

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.

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!

compressor running and hot, refer and fridge room temp.
Watched a youtube on capacitors- though on a motor with a pulley, the symptoms were the same, motor running and pulley not turning-bad capacitor. Took a chance for a 17+ dollar part vs a new compressor. It worked.

fan and compressor wont start
Googled the model number of refrigerator with symptoms of "refrigerator wont run". Parts select web site appeared on my screen, opened Parts Select website, Partselect said probable cause of my frige symptom was that the run capacitor usually burns out 51% of the time. They were correct with the diagnosis 100%. I ordered the run capacitor for $23.00, installed it in 10 minutes, refrigerator runs good as new. Thank you for saving me cost of service call. I probably saved $200 or more. I will use Partselect again with my next problem. THANK YOU,

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.
