Bad switch for door prevented interior light from coming on
Just as your video described, although due to the age of the fridge, it took a bit longer to remove the defective switch. Your video made this so simple, I can't imagine why we lived with a dark fridge for so long! I was ready to buy a whole new fridge, as repairmen are often nonexistent for small repairs. I am the biggest fan of your company & it's repair video. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Door Shelf Falling Out due to Broken Bar End Caps
I pryed the old end caps off the bar with pliers being careful not to bend the metal retaining tab on the bar. The new bar end caps snapped right on the bar and the new end caps / bar assembly snapped right into the slot on the door. Very Easy Repair.

light in freezer section not working
Using plyers Pulled old switch down and out. Put new one in and pushed new switch up into position. The switch plugs into the contacts, no wiring needed. Worked like a charm. You saved me 200 dollars GE repair bill. Thanks

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 Fresh Food Section Door Gasket of My VERY OLD Refrigerator was SHOT! SEARS messed me up for MONTHS!
I had wasted 5-6 weeks waiting for SEARS to send me the CORRECT Part. They kept sending the wrong part, telling me that the right one would be sent "THE NEXT WEEK" & Then finding out that the CORRECT ONE was on BACK ORDER with NO KNOWN DATE of shipment in Sight! So I looked up the part on the Internet. FOUND PartSelect & THEY found the CORRECT PART(That was on Saturday) with in 3 days... I had the PART! PLUS the Part arrived in GREAT SHAPE-NOT SO WITH SEARS which came with the packaging ALL TORE UP & THE GASKET was half out of the box and BADLY RUMPLED UP! PARTSELECT had very helpful instructions on their site & Over the Phone helped me do it in little or no time at all! I did remove the 2 screws at the bottom or the door-VERY EASY!!! atwhich time I saw that I also needed 2 nylon washers(I had several on hand!) Removing the whole door is not necessary, but in my case I FOUND the very worn washers & Was able to replace them too!... Now the door moves alot easier! PLUS: with the door off, I could do(replace the metal strips)on the Bottom & Inside gasket EASIER!... I WILL NEVER get partsfrom Sears again & ALL of my future Parts Purchases will be from PARTSELECT! I am VERY IMPRESSED & HIGHLY RECOMMEND PARTSELECT!

Fairly easy I pull the fridge foward and remove the backing board and notice the fan wasn't working, so I remove the fan and bench tested and it was burned then I clean the condenser with compress air if you don't have air then a vacuum cleaner works then once the part arrived I install it the now if working very good

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.

switch wouldn't come out anymore and turn light on
Gently pry out switch in door jam with screwdriver and pull both connectors off and put connectors on new switch then push switch back into the hole. Looked it up on the internet and video showed how to and also had link to new part, ordered and less than a week later the fridge is bright again. I have an older freezer also and it seems that they all use the same switches. Very Very easy
