The original door gasket was in very bad condition due to neglect.
Easily removed the original door gasket starting at an upper corner by pulling the old gasket off completely. I then cleaned the area where the new gasket was to be pressed into the channel on the door of the fridge. I also cleaned the area on the fridge where the new gasket would seat upon completion of the installation.
With that completed, I began in the upper right corner of the door, easily pressing the new gasket into the channel on the fridge door. I then pressed the upper left hand corner of the gasket into place, into the channel on the door. I then pressed the entire upper horizontal part of the gasket into the channel along the top of the fridge door.
I then pressed the left and right vertical portions of the gasket into the channels on the fridge door. I then pressed the lower left corner of the gasket into place, followed by the lower right hand corner into place of the bottom channel of the door.
Lastly, I pressed the lower horizontal portion of the gasket completely into the channel of the bottom of the fridge door.
Finally, I rechecked all portions of the gasket to be sure they were securely fitted into the channel of the door.
Mission accomplished in less than 15 minutes. It's a piece of cake to make this repair!

Broken Plastic Frame On Glass Refrig Shelf
Removed shelf from packing, washed it, slid it onto the refrigerator shelf rails and done. Took longer to unpack the shelf than install it! Very easy, perfect fit, and very happy with the exact replacement. Super careful packing, quick shipping. Very good experience. Hope I don't need anymore parts, but if I do, I will definitely get them here.

The water valve for the ice maker was bad
Pulled the refrigerator out from the wall. Then unplugged it took my nutdriver with a1/4" socket on it and took out the screws from the cardboard back on the bottom of the refrigerator. Then I removed the two screws holding the water valve on. Then I unscrewed the supply water line from the main water inlet valve. Then I removed the outlet waterline going to the ice maker from the water valve. Then I reversed the procedure to put it back together. Hooked up the main water line and turned the water valve on for the water to flow to the valve at first nothing happened had to wait for a couple of hours for everything else to get to the right temperature before the ice maker would start making ice.

Replacing Icemaker
Pull refrigerator from wall and disconnect the water line and unplug the power.
On top of the icemaker, two machine screws hold the icemaker to the side of the refrigerator. You will have to feel around to find the machine screws, but once you do, it is simple to slip the appropriate size socket over the hex heads. I found it helpful to have an extension on the socket wrench. Disconnect the power cable inside the refrigerator (there are little pressure clips on the side that help release the cable) and move it out of the way for the time-being.
Back out both machine screws several turns, but do not remove them completely. The icemaker slips over the screws, so leaving them in the side of the refrigerator makes that process a lot easier. Hand tighten the machine screws once you have positioned the new icemaker in place. One thing to be sure and do is make sure the water line hose coming out of the back of the refrigerator inside is on top of the icemaker. It fits into a slot in the top of the icemaker - failing to do this will result in water pouring into the freezer compartment, not into the icemaker..
Reconnect the power cable to the new icemaker and tuck it up behind the icemaker assembly. Tighten the machine screws completely, but do not over-tighten.
Reconnect the water line on the back of the refrigerator at the wall, and plug in the refrigerator. You should hear the unit fill immediately.
In about an hour you should have ice filling the bin. Enjoy!

Perfect!

Motor had failed due to ice ejector frozen to tray.
Removed the ice maker. Took off the cover and proceed to remove the motor. The only trick was to dis-assemble the electrical connector to replace the wires. I chose to do this rather than splice the new motor into the existing system and it was simple with a little patience.
Easiest repair to make and half / third the money for a new ice maker. The in-laws have ice again (it was over a year).

Not running
After waiting over 2wks for my part to arrive, I purchased the part locally and made the repair the same day as I am still waiting for the part to arrive from you guys. Your customer service really needs improving. I paid for 2 day shipping, what a joke. I will be returning the part as soon as I receive it thanks.
