Refrigerator door on a side by side unit would not stay closed.
First empty the shelves on the refrig. door. Then removed the upper hing cover and removed the three screws holding the hinge to the body of the refrigerator. Lifted the door off the bottom hinge and placed it clear of the unit.
Inspected the bottom hinge and cleaned off the screw holding the closing cam, then with a nutdriver removed the screw holding the cam and removed the cam from the hinge. Installed a new cam closer, secured the cam with a screw. Hanged the door back on the lower hinge and re-installed the upper hinge. Job Complete!

Refrigerator too warm, produce freezing in drawer, freezer Tito cold
First, let me say that PS was unbelievably fast in getting the part to me ... Extraordinary, in fact. Unfortunately the new part was not the same dimension as the old one ... the four plastic arms that extend through the wall from the refrigerator side to the freezer side and secure the part in place measured a full 1/4 inch shorter than those on the original part ... Even with much effort and a few choice words, it was impossible to get the arms to clip into place ... It wasn't,t even close. So, we used our fine-toothed Swedish saw to take off 1/4 inch of the large part of the styrofoam "housing" so that the arms would extend farther into the freezer side ... Even then, it was difficult to get the arms clipped into place. If the part had been the proper dimension, it would have been a 15 minute job - just remove top two shelves from both sides and move ice maker out of the way ... Just need a nut driver to remove two screws from fridge side to get the two cover plates off and one screw from ice maker ... Push part from freezer side to fridge side, pull wire plug off old unit, plug into new unit, push unit in place on fridge side until arms click in place, replace ice maker, cover pieces in fridge, and shelves. Unfortunately, we didn't get a part that fit. Unfortunately, after all of that agony, our problem remains. We had replaced the bimetal defroster first, which also was delivered quickly. It was different from the original, but it fit and was easy to replace. Next we'll try the thermistor! Incidentally, I agree with an earlier reviewer ... Kitchenaid is junk - not the same since Whirlpool acquired it ... Same with Maytag, in my opinion. Thank goodness for Partselect.com!

Refrigerator and freezer stopped cooling.
The repair was incredibly easy. The only reason it took me so long to do it was that the instruction sheet did not make it clear that the parts supplied covered 4 possibilities. It took me a long time to realize that in my case (the discrete) I only needed to use the separate relay, one of the funny shaped parts, the jumper wire, and the cover, but not either of the combo versions. Maybe I'm dense or just too cautious. However, once installed, the fridge started up and is working fine.

Freezer Temp was -20 to -30 degrees F. and did not defrost because of the extreme low temperatures.
The Video on U tube was helpful. I have a side by side model and it was difficult to work in such tight quarters to attach the new part . I found that by removing the cable assembly it was much easier to attach (cut and crimp) the new part on the outside , then reinsert the assembly. The new part resolved my problem. Don't panic when you try and remove the cable assembly. Hope this is helpful.

refrigerator door not working properly
Just as shown on your video.The refrigerator side was not sitting even, clunked and did not seal right. I decided to do.both sides, refrigerator and freezer while I was at it as our refrigerator is about 16 years old. Everything went in easily and saved us a lot of money. Very happy with the parts and repair video. Got the refrigerator nice and cleaned out while we were at it..Us and the refrigerator are breathing easier now..Yeepppeee....

Top half of freezer & fridge were not cooling. Freezer fan had been making unusually loud noises.
Piece of cake. It took me longer to remove the food from the freezer, remove shelves and back panel than to do the repair. I heard the fan making some noises so I replaced both the fan and defrost thermostat. I used the instructions submitted by a another customer. My 20+ year old fridge is like new now.

Machine Leaking Water
I did some tests and determined that the tub-to-pump drain hose had a leak in it.I then looked on the web to find disassembly instructions. I have a stacked washer dryer combination in a very confined space. The repair involved disconnecting both the washer and dryer from the water, gas, electric and venting systems first, then unstacking the dryer from the washer (not so easy, it required a helper). The machine was then pulled out so I could get at the parts necessary to remove the outside components and sheet metal. Then, I disassembled the top, front and access panel in the back. The disassembly went very well. I got access to the drain hose assembly and removed it fairly easily. I ordered a replacement drain hose assembly and found that installing the large port of the assembly was very difficult. (The two other ports were easy.) After thinking about it, I tilted the machine back a bit so I could try it from the bottom. That worked fine.I then reassembled and tested the machine. No leaks. Good luck with yours!

The door would not stay closed after it was installed. It was as if there were no magnets in the gasket.
We used the hair blow dryer to soften the gasket after being in the package. We laid it on our bed and made the gasket straight with the heat of the blow dryer. Then we began to install the gasket and once we installed it, the door would not stay closed.

Door no longer closing, washers worn down to nothing
Undo a few screws on top of door, replace closing washers at bottom part of door, put door back on, and done. Easy. Just make sure you have the top and bottom closer washers that go together...2 parts.
