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.

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

Refrigerator gasket was worn and old.
Manually snapped the plastic gasket into the slots of the refrigerator. The part fit perfectly after a slight adjustment.

Refrigerator door gasket was coming apart.
I watched the video, supplied on the website, two times and followed the procedure. The repair was very easy and a pleasant experience. Lay the new gasket out flat for a couple of days in the sun prior to installation and remove the door and lay it flat for the installation of the gasket. Remove old gasket and clean track and surrounding area thoroughly. Line up new gasket over track and at each corner and press into track, starting in center of one side, and work your way to each corner - repeat on each of the remaining three sides. Use a wet sponge to slide along the top of gasket while pressing same into track on the door.

gasket cracking at least 8 years old
Excellent instructions from your video. Replaced gasket once without removing door quite harder to do. Placed gasket in sun to warm it up, didn't have to heat it in hot water. Much easier once doors are removed and replaced gasket on large table or bench. Thanks for the video and your prompt delivery of part.

Fresh door gasket leaking.
Followed the PartsSelect how-to video to the letter., using clothes dryer option to soften the gasket before installation. Installing the new gasket a little tedious, but not difficult. Video was dead on as to method and tools.

Freezer door gasket replaced
Both PartSelect and GE advisors told me to remove/loosen screws holding gasket to the door. This model has no screws. After pulling to old gasket from a corner (very difficult) I found that it is held in place by pressing it into a channel running around the door. Very difficult to line up the proper parts and very difficult to slide/adjust it into place. When finally installed, one corner of the gasket protruded so that the door was not flush and actually kept the door from closing. I tried to push/pull it into place. No good. Finally I tried to hammer the gasket back to make it flush. No good, as it evidently crushed the magnets providing the necessary holding power and produced gaps. I finally had to get foam window stripping plus heavy duty magnets to pull door to frame. Result: door closes OK but some moisture collects around door.
