Simply removed old gasket. Started in a corner with installing the new gasket. It went in easily and quickly.

I disconnected the refrigerator power, removed the 2 screws holding the mullion door on the left side of the refrigerator French-door (it’s the flap that allows the door to close). Removed the broken spring and installed the replacement spring in its place. Reinstalled the mullion door by putting it in place and installing the previously removed screws.

Called a local repair shop to get the problem diagnosed. Nice repair guy came out and was pretty confident that it was the main board . However his supplier had it on backorder and had a 7 day shipment estimate. When he told me I got on the internet and parts select had the part in stock with a 2-3 business day arrival. I rolled the dice and ordered it. Came the next day via Fed x. It took me 15 minutes to put it in and so far so good. Without the diagnosis I would have been in the dark as to what was wrong so it was worth the fee for the service call to get an expert diagnosis

Cover the putty knife with tape so you do not scratch the side wall where the switch is located. Slide the knife under the edge of the switch and push in a bit towards the switch and slightly twist to pop the switch out of its hole. Disconnect the wires from the switch and simply plug in the new switch. Push wiring back into the hole and careful push the switch into the hole until it snaps into place.

My son just pried out the old switch with a screw driver snapped out the old one and snapped in the new one. Pretty sure even I could have done this. Very quick and easy. Thanks. :-)

Six screws to remove the old one (I looked up the process on Youtube) and six screws had it back in tip top shape.
Three wire connections, two were plug in and one was a ground wire.
BTW: It was a 3 wire, not a 6 wire. I had ordered that by mistake and PartSelect made the return and replacement very easy.

Reviewed instructions on YouTube. Removed storage box.Removed Philips head screw on either side of track. Lifted door and placed it on table. Using a flat blade screwdriver removed old gasket (it did not looked damaged). Pressed new gasket into groove in door. Replaced door onto track and replaced screws. Replaced storage box. No more ice buildup.

i removed old and installed new gasket in 5 minutes. i watched a video. it was super easy .

Phillips head screw driver required.

Door stopper attaches to door and front side of refrigerator. Located at the underside of the door at the front of the hinge.

Remove screw, keep screw for installation of new stopper. Remove damaged stopper, install new stopper using the original screw.

I replaced the whole self-contained unit. I removed the old ice bin simply by lifting it out of the door and replacing it with a new one directly under the ice maker. It was a simple fix; no tools or service tech were required.

Unplugged the fridge. Used a screwdriver to loosen the switch. Easy to disconnect from fridge and just plugged the new switch in. Popped right back into the side of the fridge and worked perfectly.
