Water Fill Cup Broke
The Ice maker unit had to be removed and the shaft had to also be removed, which required dis-assembling the motor drive. The thickness of the shaft and the bearing fill cup prevents it from simply pushing it in place. Other than that I have Ice.

The door shoot plastic had cracked allowing air to get into the freezer compartment.
I unplugged the fridge, removed the face plate on the front, disconnected the power feeds, unscrewed the electrical panel and moved it out of the way.
I then dismantled and removed the broken part and installed the new part. I was able to use the rest of the existing parts to get the job done.
I put everything back together, and voila! it works great.

Ice cube door would not close pr0perly
Because of the design change of the door hinge it was more difficult to slide the pin into the door and spring. I used an allen wrench to hold it in place on the left side so I could slide the pin in the right hole. Then removed the allen wrench so I could slide the pin all the way. I was very impressed with the time that it took to get the kit. I ordered it about 1:30PM and the following day I had the kit delivered by 6PM. FANTASTIC SERVICE!

lights wouldn't come on/work in refrigerator
Referencing the info/schematics you have on your website, I unscrewed/unattached top-front panel (carefully), from behind the panel you have to detach the wires (2) from the switch, pushed "in" the switch to remove, put in new switch and attach wires to test BEFORE remounting panel. Tada!! Thank you PartSelect! You saved me at least $80...would have been at least $100 to have a repair person come to the house!

Pins that hold the ice dispenser switch were broke.
Ordered the part from your convenient diagram, watched your video, and changed the part. I flipped the breaker switch so I didn’t have to move the fridge to unplug. Thanks. Saved me a lot of money.

Cast plastic parts of bracket that held the water dispensing switch secure were broken, and left switch loose and not able to be tripped ON.
Observing how the control bracket was held in place, and how the switch for the ice dispenser was secured to bracket, I removed the control bracket free of plastic clips. I disconnected the main wiring harness from ctrl brkt. Next I removed water dispensing switch from brkt, and ice dispensing switch from brkt. And laid the broken ctrl brkt aside. I simply reassembled all parts to the new ctrl brkt, placed brkt secure to holding clips, reassembled wiring harness clip, reassembled faceplate assembly to dispenser housing, and tested water and ice dispensing.

Replacement of the Ice Guide
This one is not rocket science, however, it does take some careful "fudging" to accomplish without additional disassembly. The Ice Guide is held in place by three tabs. The tricky part is "tilting" the center tab into it's hole/slot on the ice dispenser lever (center hole), then tilting it up to snap into place.... there is a very tight tolerance here, with the opening of the ice/water dispensing unit. Be sure to "lock out" the ice maker/water dispenser, in order to be able to use the light. Once snapped in place, all is well.
