Bought new cap.

Switched the drain out using the video tutorial
Fixed the problem
Have had no more drain issues

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.

No tools required, but you must be careful not to shove or jam this kick plate into place as it is a plastic part and not really very sturdy. This is the second time I have replaced the kick plate and PartSelect has always been knowledgeable, polite, and helpful

I opened the large cardboard container the way it appeared to have been sealed. I knew i was dealing with glass. It was packed soooo great! After opening I Saw that the glass was tucked behind a separate piece of cardboard. Glad I had laid the package on the table to open. This made it easy to lift up out of the package. I went over the glass with a slightly damp cloth and dried. Peeled off the little stickers and laid it on top of the shelf supports and middle divider. It rested down right on top and eased into place. Wah-la!! All done! Thanks! Easiest repair I have ever had, and I am almost 70 with a lot of history in repairs!!

I took all items off the glass shelf. Removed the two crisper drawers. Removed the glass shelf. Installed the center rail. Replaced the two crisper drawers, the glass shelf and all items. Job done in less that 1 min. Thank you for great customer service and quick delivery.

Like you video

Lift off glass shelf and insert tabs of rail on each end , replace shelf.

Was told capacitor was problem 90% of the time.Capacior was not the problem.Bad start relay.

Used the suggested problem list here to narrow down that the repair was most likely the run capacitor. Poped the new one in and I now have better control of my compartment ranges. I have a temperature gauge in each compartment. Check them every opening of the doors.

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."

The glide was very easy to put on; however it is easiest to put in the front screw first, due to the thickness of the glide. Pretty easy!

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.

Quite simple, Remove the one bold and slide the rail-mulln off the retaining clips. They all face into the refigerator so it just slides off. Disconnect the sensing wire and reverse this three step process to install. Just be careful to have all three hindges aligned before you put the bolt in.

The glass shelf sits on top of the crisper housing. That was the problem since when I turned the housing over to clean, the glass fell off. I just had to set the new part on to the housing and it was fixed.
I do want to comment on how easy it was to find the part on your website, how reasonable the price and the quick delivery. Thanks!
