Slide rail cracked and fruit drawer wouldn't slide open
Trust me when I say that I am not a very handy person. It took only a matter of seconds to remove the broken slide rail, took 2 screws out. I found the part easily on the website, placed the order and the part was in my house in 2 days. My 12 year old son and I replaced the slide rail in a matter of seconds-required only the same 2 screws to secure in place. We replaced the glass shelf, slid the draw into place and now it is as good as new! A very easy repair!

Door would not shut by itself.
I followed the directions on the computer and everything went just as the video said it would. This was one of the easiest repairs I have ever done. Usually, it does not go as planned.

Fridge door was not self-closing
Followed step-by-step instructions in previous post. Note that there are TWO approaches, both of which work.
Option 1) Order TWO cams (PS297995), drill out the rivet holding the frame's cam, and replace it with a nut and bolt. (See post on 07/19/09.)
Option 2) Order the entire hinge assembly (PS290199), which includes the door's cam and an assembled frame hinge and cam. (See post on 10/29/08.)
We opted for Option 1 which was pretty easy. Option 2 would be even easier and take less time but costs about $9 more.
Thanks to previous posters for excellent instructions!

Old Cam Had Deteriorated, And Was Breaking Into Pieces And Falling Off.
We taped the door with 3 pieces of duct tape, then put boards under it. Used socket set to remove cam and then cut off rivet so we could just use a screw to keep in place. . . Just for your information, I ordered 2 cams, and was glad I did as I need 2 to make the repair. . . Didn't read about this online or on order recommendation. The cams go 1 up and 1 down thanks for the installation repair stories, it inspired us to "do it ourselves " and we saved about $75 to $100. 00

broken cam riser on the bottom of the door
I ordered a cam riser for the refrigerator door. I watched the "how to" video the day I ordered the part. It took about a week to get the part, but I was ready when it arrived. The 'how to' video was a big help. It showed me how to take off the door and replace the part. The process was quite simple! Oh! Don't forget to turn the refrigerator on again!

The rail that holds the drawer cracked
Just used a screw driver to remove the old part and install the new one. The gal on the phone from parts select was excellent helping me find the correct part. Highly recommend this web site.

Fridge cam broke, door barely closed and crooked
I followed your terrific video. I first got all tools ready, covered a table in cardboard, and removed food from the fridge door. I removed the cap and screws on top of the door hinge. Lifting the door off was simple, and after laying the door on the table, the retaining screw was easily loosened, and the cam screw removed. The only problem was that half the thin gasket under the broken cam was missing. No new gasket came with the part. I wanted the new cam to lay flat, so I made a partial gasket from a matchbook cover and filled the gap. It all went back together quickly. Just have tools ready beforehand. Ten minute job, unless you have to make a new gasket or part of one. Thanks, guys.

Cam riser broke so door was staying open
Best for 2 people on this repair as 1 person needs to hold the door and the other position the bottom pin in place on reassembly. On my side by side I was replacing the cam on the cold food side, not the freezer. But I got down and inspected both the broken cam and the cam on the side that wasn't broken to understand how the parts fit together. Each door has 2 cams that work/fit together. So be sure the one you are replacing is installed properly (flat side towards the door body). Remove all contents from inside door including the shelves. Use a phillips screwdriver to remove the cover plate on the top hinge. Use tape or a marker to mark on the refrigerator top a corner of where the bracket is positioned, for proper placement on reassembly. While someone is holding the door, remove the 2 bolts from the top bracket (or the back one is just loosened so bracket can be moved out of the way). Lift door off the bottom pin. Turn the door on its side to expose the bottom bracket. There should be 2 bolts here. The furthest one from the pin only needs to be loosened. The other bolt will need to be removed but as you do this be sure to not let the other 2 metal pieces fall out. Remove the broken cam and replace with the new part. Realign the parts and bracket over the pin rod hole and tighten both bolts. Replace the door onto the bottom pin. Then add top bracket and align it to the marking and screw back in these 2 bolts. Test door for any needed adjustments (I had none). Then replace the top bracket cover with its screw. Voila! Clean the shelves and put them in the door and fill them up. :-)
