Temperature on refrigerator side was unstable. I was adjusting the thermostate control (center knob) frequently.
I followed the instructions shown in the on-line video for replacing the thermostate control. I had difficulty freeing the capilary tube from around the mechanical lever that controls the freezer side vent opening. I had to remove a screw that held the vent lever in place. This is a delicate activity. I was not happy with the way the on-line video delt with this particular issue. Otherwise, the video was right on and straight forward. The problem is fixed.

Fridge kept turning off.
Just replaced the thermostat and is working perfectly. I would have to tap cooler knob and it would kick on. when it ran it ran well. So i knew it had to be electrical.Put in new thermostat and is working great!

Front support stud for crisper broke off
Grasped the base of the old part with pliers and turned a quarter turn until metal stays released and part could be pulled out (two online help videos: one says 1/4 turn clockwise, the other, 1/4 turn counter-clockwise, or, 1/4 in right direction, 3/4 in wrong direction). New part slipped in easily and snapped into place with 1/4 turn. Difficulty getting tray to seat fully until I whacked it with my open hand and it then snapped into place. Remains to be seen if it will be difficult now to remove.

Shelf Support Stud Replacement
The shelf support the refrigerator crisper container end had broken off. I found the part on the website and viewed the installation video. If I had not seen the video I would have had difficulty completing the job. Following the video instruction the old bracket that supports the shelft broke off. But, because I had been covered in the video how to remove the bracket enabled me to overcome the part breaking. Good set of instructions made the job go well even with the bracket breaking.

non functioning light switch in fridge
This repair was super easy. there are only 5 screws to remove to get at the defective switch. 3 in the housing where the light bulbs are and 2 in the front trim piece where the cooling adjustment dials are. I never did unplug the fridge ,but probably should have although nothing bad happened. I removed all 5 screws using a 1/4" socket ( a nutdriver would work well also). there is also a small dia rod that comes down from the coolness adj. wheel that when you re-assemble goes though the middle of the wheel. The switch has only 2 wires that clip on with the push on flat type connectors. Very simple. I removed the wires and then the switch can be removed( it is only held in by 2 squeezable side clips). I put the new switch in and connected the wires , checked to see that the lights went on and off. which they did. then just put the screws back in.....done. also I would like to say that when I ordered my switch it came super fast. I ordered it online at 11:00am on a tuesday and it was on my doorstep in wisconsin by 10:00 am the next day...Thanks
