Shelf studs broke several years ago and I had a problem locating them. Finally wised up and checked Part Direct and found them, ordered the kit w/ 12 pieces. Then quickly watched the installation video. Took less than 30 minutes to replace two different studs. Wife is very happy.
Simply took broken pieces of old stud out and replaced with the new ones. Used pliers to adjust them. Replace a freezer stud and a fridge stud.

compressor clicks on for about 5 seconds and then shuts off, evaporator fan is running but no cooling in the fridge.
Disconnect power. Remove back panel on the refrigerator. Relay and overload is a modular unit attached to the compressor. Disconnect module from compressor, install new unit. While you're in there clean the condenser coils with a vacuum and clean the fan and condensate pan. Reassemble, and you're chillin. Total time approx. 15 min.

Freezer Cold - Refrigerator Warm
After searching online to diagnose the issue with my refrigerator being warm and the freezer being cold and not shutting off to defrost I decided to get the defrost timer kit. The kit arrived within 2 day. With the directions included, after unplugging the appliance for safety, I installed it relatively quickly with only a screwdriver . I then plugged it back in and it immediately went to defrost. I thought, wow I have it fixed. Well unbeknownst to me it still didn't cool in the fridge area. After doing more internet research I found a suggestion to unplug the fridge for 24 hours to unthaw ice that may be lodged between the freezer and fridge that is blocking the distribution of cold air into the fridge. After doing this, it now works like a charm.

The Light Socket Burned Out.
I pulled the socket out and unplugged the wires. I replaced the light socket by plugging in the wires and snapping the light socket into place. A very simple fix.

Broken wheel on leveling roller
I removed one bolt and took out the old roller after first blocking up the fridge. Then I was puzzled for a moment because the hole in the new assembly was not tapped. But then I saw that the old bolt was a self tapping bolt. I used it to tap the hole then removed it and installed the new assembly. No sweat job.

Two of the parts were broken so the shelf was laying on the drawers so neither could be used effectivly
Pulled out the stud with a wire cutter and replaced it with the exact part you shipped in the kit.
The other 2 parts just slipped on the brackets
Nice thing is now I have extra parts for the other shelf.

Motor noise while running and clicking when shutting off
The instruction sheet supplied with the new motor described the steps to take very good. Replaced the rubber grommets for the three motor mounts also. A flashlight or light source was needed or was very helpful.

Therostat needed to be replaced -would not come on again when fridge warmed up
take off the face plate of fridge and follow the cable back to the compartment where fridge and freezer meet. once out, had to remove transluscent cover from thermostat wire - easy and feed that same cover onto the new thermostat. Slow is better and using pliers to force 1/4 to 1/2 inch at a time into the tubing - easier if you have 2 people. After that just put the length back in and insert the controller back in the panel and plug in the electricity again. (to the thermostat). 30 minutes later - cold fridge.
