Refrigerator door was making a "pop" sound when opened fully
The noise seemed to be coming from the closing cam at the top of the door, so we figured it had worn over time and was no longer operating smoothly, but rather popping into place when the door was opened all the way. We ordered a new cam, which was about $20 for a quarter-sized piece of metal with two holes in it. Expensive for what it was, but cheaper than calling a repair person for sure. Our first problem was how to disengage the spring that closes the door. It was hard to get a purchase while standing on a stool and the tension on the spring was very tight. Finally my husband rigged up a sort of pulley system to get more leverage and was able to get the spring off. The next problem was removing the screw that held the cam assembly in place. We were afraid we were going to have to saw it off, but finally my husband was able to remove it and it was barely salvageable to reuse with the new cam. After that, reassembling the system with the new part and reattaching the spring was relatively straight forward. The good news is, no more annoying popping sound!

water not dispensing from refrigerator
Popped out the old filter from the refrigerator bottom. Removed new filter from the box and pulled off the end caps. Put the end cap on the new filter, aligned the filter( it will only go in one way) with alignment slides and pushed the filter in until I heard it (click) into place. Pushed in the water dispenser tab for a few seconds, but nothing happened. So I waited until the next day and pushed the dispenser in and water flowed out. Repeated this process until the water ran clear. Turned the ice maker back on and a few hours later ice was popping out. Wife's happy, I'm a hero!

Broken Water Filter Cap
Did you know you have to press the button next to the filter before you pull on the filter cap? Like most week end warriors, I just pulled the cap and of course, I broke it! The repair was simple, hopefully, in six months I will remember to press the button!

Light switch in the refrigerator was faulty from the first day we installed the fridge.
I had ordered some other parts for something entirely different off your website and service was great. So after almost ten years of a dark refrigerator, because of a defective switch, I decided to see if you had the part to fix it... You did and the part got here in 3 days. I had a working light switch and all the light in the world where my husband needed it most (in the fridge). It took me at the most ten minutes to replace the part. All is well now and I have a happy husband who can find the leftovers just fine. Thanks for your great service!

Bought a house, refrigerator was missing many parts
All I needed to do was put in all the freezer & refrigerator door bins & slide the freezer basket & vegetable crisper inside the fridge. All items purchased were exactly the right parts.

Water Filter Needed To Be Replaced.
Removed old water filter by simply twisting the the cap that houses it at the bottom of the refrigerator and replaced with new water filter. No fuss, no muss! Very impressed. Also, I was quite pleased to have received the water filter that was designed specifically for the whirlpool model that I own. I expected to receive some generic-type model based upon the reasonable price that I paid. Kudos to partselect!

Light did not come on (bad bulb!) on TC18KL
I have never before seen a bulb with the filament intact not light. If the bulb's filament seems intact, screw the bulb into a known working lamp and see if it lights. When screwing it back into the socket in the fridge, it takes a bit of extra effort to fully seat (until it does, it won't light!). For replacing the switch, I unplugged the unit, used a paint scraper and worked it under the switch bezel from the right side. A bit of moxie, and the switch came out. The replacement switch had a different spade contact spacing than the original. I used a pair of scissors to cut the rubber bridge between the two switch wire connectors so I could connect to the new switch. In the end, it turned out to be the bulb. NOTE: The Model TC18KL is _not_ listed! What I finally found that the number "P7803211WL" on the sticker is actually a manufacturing code. Found this out by searching, and Sears' part search came up with matches.

broken water filter cap
new filter cap fit perfectly, but I couldn't get filter in or out. Called appliance repair person who pushed it in -- no problem. I just didn't have enough arm force to push it in.
