Fridge started making a loud racket. Condenser Fan Blade then disintegrated to dust and pieces. The plastic had degraded significantly.
The repair itself total time was quick and easy. Since the original fan blade blew apart, it was only a matter of putting the new one on in it's place. This can be done by feeding the blade between the cowling and Condenser coil and applying pressure to get it on the shaft.
If your fan is still on the shaft, simply push it off and extract it the same way. Then place the new one on the shaft.
In my case, since the part would take a couple days to get, and I had food both in the fridge and the freezer, I removed and unplugged the Condenser Fan Motor and the cowling frame and temporarily spliced a small fan I had into the line for the condenser motor. This kept the fridge working long enough to get the replacement part.
Side note. Direction of airflow is towards the Compressor, and draws air across the Condenser coils.
Hope this helps someone. :)

water leaking inside of refrigerator from filter area
I just removed the filter and then removed the filter housing. The housing is mounted using two screws. The only difficult part was removing the elbows from the water in and out lines. I don't believe the elbows are reusable. So I would go ahead and order new elbows when replacing this part.

Icemaker was producing hollow ice due to water was free flowing out the water dispenser during fill time for icemaker.
Removed old water valve w/ screwdriver, cut threads off old hose (as they just plug straight into new valve) & pushed hoses into new water valve. Solved both problems!!!!

Ice maker was over filling.
Old valve comes out with 2 screws, water lines removed and reinstalled on new valve just as they came off the old valve. Entire job took less than 10 minutes. Very easy replacement.

During cross country move, water valve froze and broke.
Straight forward repair. Remove the four screws holding cardboard back. Remove the 2 screws holding the valve. Unscrew the water lines and unplug the electrical connections. I would caution that it would be wise to either take a couple photos or write down the order of connection. Even though it is somewhat color coded and the water lines are different sizes, a photo removes any confusion. My old valve had threaded connections using brass nuts and ferrules. The new valve has push in connections so you need to cut the ferrules off.. When cutting off the tubing, be sure to cut square. An angled or "squished" cut will leak when pushed into the fitting. Attach the valve to the refrigerator with 2 screws and replace the cardboard back and you're finished. While you have the back off is a good time to clean the coils. I left my fridge out and back off for a couple of ice making cycles so I could check for leaks (how I know the tubing needs to be cut very square). All in all, a very easy fix.

No water to ice maker
Repair was easy. Unplug refrigerator, turn off water to ice maker, remove back panel, disconnect water inlet valve, disconnect water supplies and electrical connections. Cut ends off tubing to modify to new part connections, connect tubing, connect electrical supplies, reinstall back panel, plug refrigerator in, turn water supply back on. We made sure that there was no ice build up in the supply tube into the ice maker and made sure that everything worked correctly before putting it all back together. It was an easy repair.

WE BROKE THE CRISPER DRAWER
I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE LABEL INSIDE THE DIVICE SO I DID NOT NEED OT REMEMBER IT WHILE GOING TO MY COMPUTER TO LOOK UP THE PART. I FOUND PARTSELECT AND ORDERED THE PART. I GOT GOOD EMAIL COMUNICATION FROM PARTSELECT ABOUT THE ORDER AND EXPECTED DELIVERY. I DONOT REMEMBER IF THEY KEPT THEIR WORD BUT THE PART CAME IN SOON ENOUGH. WHEN IT ARIVED I GOT MY BOX KNIFE AND CUT THE BOX OPEN TOOK OUT THE DRAWER AND SLIDE IT INTO THE SPOT WERE THE BROKEN DRAWER WAS. I DID CLEAN THE SPACE WHERE THE OLD DRAWER WAS IT WAS EMBARRISING DIRTY. I WOULD RATHER NOT TALK ABOUT THAT BUT IF YOU LIKE I CAN SEND PICTURES. THE DOOR IS WORKING FINE JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONE DID. PARTSELECT WAS A GREAT CHOICE IT WAS QUICK AND EASY. IF YOU DONT USE PARTSELECT YOU ARE GOING TO JUST MAKE YOUR REPAIR HARD ON YOURSELF.

Refrigerator door was not closing properly, Bits of black plastic had been breaking off from lower hinge area.
My husband researched the possible causes on line and watched some of the videos that were posted on your site. I ordered the 2 parts which did come in 3 business days. My husband and son completed the repair in under 30 minutes. Unscrew the upper hinge assembly on the top right door, lift the door up so that the lower hinge pin is free. Remove the old worn closer plate and hinge bearing. Replace the door, replace upper hinge hardware and check alignment. (It was also a good time to do a thorough cleaning on the coils underneath the refrigerator and check the evaporator pan.)

Not a original factory direct replacement part
The housing is not the same where the wires attach. I had to cut off the plastic shroud around barbs on start relay to accept the original larger wire end Fittings.
