Rear mount tab broken on Center Crisper Rail
It took longer to empty the glass shelf above the Crisper Bins than to replace the rail. Since the part simply snaps in place, no tools were required

I scratched the door handle while moving the refrigerator into my house.
With a small allen wrench, I was able to loosen the two screws to remove the door handle and replace the new on without any problems. A very simple operation.

Key pad for ice and water was just cycling and then after several days, stopped
Watched online video that demonstrated how to remove old, install new, and how to set correct code.
Prepped with correct tools, and general screwdriver set.
Took socks off so I limited my self collecting static electricity. Removed back panel and took a picture of the position. Once removed, I touched the refrigerator, before touching new piece and installed new panel.

The door switch was broken so the interior light would not come on.
The instructions in the package were not helpful. They wanted me to cut the wiring harness and described where to cut based on the wire colors. My wires were not the same color! I removed the light mechanism using a combination of a screwdriver, putty knife, and plain old muscle with my fingers! The wiring harness unplugged easily and the new one inserted. It was easy to push the whole assembly back into the door. I spent more time looking for something to cut the wiring harness with (and never did find it) than the whole job actually took without needing to cut anything!

Easy fix for Whirlpool refrigerator
I followed the video provided by Part Select. I also let the refrigerator stay unplugged overnight with all the doors open. This p-trap kit has fixed the leaks out of the front of the refrigerator. There is no ice build-up in the freezer. Perfect!

Difficulty removing old switch.
Everything went as planned except the cold temperature (freezer door switch located inside freezer) made deflection of the switch locking tab difficult to remove. Letting the switch warm up was not an option.

Install Gasket without Gasket puckering
I followed the video instructions.
When it got to removing any pucker from shipping, I chose putting the gasket in a tub with hot water rather than using the option to use a hair dryer, on places I thought needed the heat.
The option worked perfectly, except with the first gasket I did not dry all the water from parts of the new gasket, so some fell on the floor as the gasket was inserted into the refrigerator door.

freezer would not freeze
inst said,"50 pct of the time this calls for new capacitor," so we changed the capacitor. Same prob. It also said,"25 pct of the time it's the bi-metal thermostat" So we ordered it. We removed the plastic rear panel from inside the freezer comp. using small nut driver. Here we found much ICE surrounding the defrost unit, three inches thick. We thawed the whole mess. and the freezer has worked fine ever since. I think my habit of getting ice cubes from the inside container rather than from the ice cube dispenser, had kep t the freezer door open too much, interfering with the normal defrost cycle and allowing ice to build up over time so that it finally defeated the system. My new rule, "get ice cubes only from the front."
