Freezer and refridgerator just stopped working.
The Condenser Fan Motor was already removed due to searching for the problem. The new fan motor looked different from the original but I felt very comfortable that Part Select had sent me the new part showing original part number changing numbers over the years. Simply placed the fan blades onto the new motor lined up 2 of the holes placed screws and tightened then plugged the wire ribbon into the Condensor Fan Motor, plugged in the Refridgerator and it worked beautifully.
The instruction video on the Part Select Web Site made it so incredibly easy to install. Installation took under 3 minutes!

The center rail that the 2 crisper drawers ride on broke
I did exactly what the email I got said to do: remove the 2 crisper drawers, remove the glass directly above the crisper drawers, drop in the center rail. It worked just GREAT! Thanks a bunch!

The freezer door was not staying fully closed.
I watched a YouTube video real quick to see what I had to do and got to the job at hand. I removed the old gasket by pulling it out of the track and bring it around the front of the drawer. I wiped down the entire area where the new one would go and started inserting it into the groove, making sure it went in completely in on the bottom. I was done in less than 15 minutes. Super easy! This fixed the issue and the freezer door closes fully.

broken hinge point
Removed cover ,two veggie bins, glass glass shelf, all took 10 min. It took longer to wipe clean every thing I installed the new end cap with 3 screws, I had to add one of my own as the factory only used 2 the rear one was not installed.it didn't matter.One thing that I didn't like was the parts came with no info, but my 40 years of working for air lines made the job easy for me.

Broken Pantry Lid Pin
Watched the excellent video on Parts Select. Followed the disassembly instructions from the video and replaced it just like that. Very quick and easy because of the video.
The only reason why it took me so long to complete the repair was the fact I had to clean a spill I had from I don't know how long ago.
Saved me a ton of money doing it myself!

The end cap that has the hinge pin for the pantry door was broken off
I removed the pantry door, the pantry drawer and the glass shelf above the pantry drawer. I removed 2 screws/bolts from the left side end cap and removed it. I simply installed the new pantry end cap with the 2 screws/bolts and tightened them snuggly. I then replaced the pantry drawer ...installed the glass shelf...reinstalled the pantry door and that was it...the wife took over after that

Water pooling on the floor.
This problem is caused by a "Duckbill" rubber grommet attached to the bottom drain tube of the freezer. This duckbill opens up during the defrost cycle and allows water to drain down the "water slide" to the evaporator pan. It doesn't take much to gum the Duckbill. Once gummed up the defrost water is trapped. The Defrost Cycle eventually makes the water flow out of the coil area to the bottom of the freezer then eventually to the floor. The repair involves unplugging the unit, removing the bottom back cover with a 1/4 nut driver, pop the power clip out to give you room, reach in and pull the duckbill grommet and the water slide, then installing this replacement drain kit. This is a p trap replacement that actually fixes the root cause of this problem. A tricky part is removing the water slide, you can see the white snap that holds the slide in place. Using a small flat blade from the top releases the snap and the unit is pulled upward rather easily. This replacement drain clip snaps in the same place. If I had to do this again it wouldn't take more than two minutes to replace. Oh, one major thing, you need to manually defrost the unit. I pulled the front door off, it is held with 4 screws ... don't remove them just loosen them and it pops off easily. I pulled the bottom tray out an it gave me room to squirt hot water with a baster into the back freezer area. Eventually everything thawed out. If I had it to do over I would have waited on connecting the tube to the evaporator pan and placed the bottom of the tube into a small sauce pan or something to collect the drain water and easily dump it into the sink. I used a sponge and that took forever. BTW, just to reiterate, use this item and not that Duck Bill for replacement, this actually fixes the root cause of this problem!

Broken hinge on bottom drawer
Replaced both sides because they had been reworked to strengthen the hinge portion !! the most important thing to do is to pay attention on how you take it apart and reassemble. Trying to take short cuts only cost you more time taking it apart and doing it again :0) Enjoy

I HAD BROKEN THE PIN OFF THAT HOLDS THE COVER.
I ACTUALLY FOLLOWED A PREVIOUS BUYER'S INSTRUCTIONS WHICH WERE TO REMOVE THE CRISPER DRAWERS, THEN THE GLASS SHELF WHICH THEN ALLOWED YOU TO GET TO 3 SCREWS THAT HELD THE END CAP IN. FROM THAT I HAD TO REMOVE THE DRAWER SLIDER 2 MORE SCREWS. THEN DO JUST OPPOSITE TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. ALL SCREW HOLES LINED UP WITH NO PROBLEM. AND I AM AN 85 YEAR OLD WOMAN.
