the speed of part delivery was amazing. using the instructions, posted on your web site, the installation was quite easy. without the instructions it would have taken much longer. thanks to all.

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.

I followed the instructions that came with the part. Less than five minutes it was good as new.

Great experience, part was perfect, service was excellent.

I looked for the obvious sign of malfunction, a leak lack of air flow dirty coil finding nothing obvious I checked the electrical components and the first was the start relay with a bimetal temperature switch was the problem that was identifyed when removed due to the relay sounding like it was internally damaged because of severe rateling

Replaced bracket-amazed to find how quickly I was able to id the part on this 20 year old refrigerator. Ordered the part and received it the next day! Thanks for the good service! , Bob

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.

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.

changed bulb

Remove freezer shelves, panel, and change fan.

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

Unplugged freezer, removed lower shelving, removed panel covering the evaporator motor. Unpluged three wires connected to fan assem and removed. Did not install new wiring that came with kit but installed new motor/fan and reconnected existing wiring. Problem gone!

Followed the instructions on package, went extremely well, with no problems what so ever! Thanks so much for the part and how to do list!

Very simple repair. Followed the video instructions. Simply removed a few screws and nuthead screws. Removed the cover plates. Removed the old thermostat switch. Removed the plastics tubing over the temp sensor probe. Put the plastic tubing on the new sensor probe, ( rubbing a slight amount of vegetable oil on the probe to allow the tube to slide on easier,). Reinstalled the temp probe. Reinstalled the new switch. Connected the wires to the switch. Reinstalled the cover plates and screws. And the job was complete. Almost took me longer to write this out, than it did to complete the project. Hey, it was an easy fix.
