followed detailed movie from Utube video

Removed mullion strip with Phillips screwdriver replaced spring reinstalled the mullion strip all in about 15 minutes.

Make sure you remove the double crisper frame that the glass sits on to get both the glass and frame to room (same) temperature!!!!!as easy as that!!!!!

on left side door, I had to remove the flapper (the piece that rotates when you close the door to allow right door to seal. very simple, remove the flapper hingelift up to get the flapper off the door and move it out of the way.
Remove both door gaskets by pulling them out with your hands. Not the orientation of the gaskets because you will have to install the new gaksets in the same orientation.
Press the new gasket in place, into the slot that goes around the inside of the door, by using two fingers to press it into place. Cntinue this all around then go back and press again to assure the gasket is fully seated.
In my case, replacing the gaskets did not solve the issue, but they needed to be replaced do to the condition. The moisture issue was resolve by replacing the flapper (mentioned above)

Expensive to have repair man come out and find out that I’ve been mailed wrong spring again. My icemaker is on the left hand side this is the side of refrigerator- I need the spring for left side with the ice maker. Twice they have mailed me the Wrong spring that goes on the right hand side I have tried to explain this to the person that waits on me. Do I have to pay for another spring and mail this one back ?i have mailed one back and postage is getting expensive.

Removed two screws from door and three locking brackets with a small common screw driver. Raised the bracket, slide in the spring, held down the bracket, installed screws and plastic covers. Less than 2 minutes. Easy application no problem with the new spring or ,mullion..

Pulled old gasket off by hand. New gasket was easy to install by pushing it into molded cutout in refrigerator door.
Very satisfying to have no glitches in the seamless installation.

Have your wonderful Grandson do the repair work.

I disconnected the refrigerator power, removed the 2 screws holding the mullion door on the left side of the refrigerator French-door (it’s the flap that allows the door to close). Removed the broken spring and installed the replacement spring in its place. Reinstalled the mullion door by putting it in place and installing the previously removed screws.

Go to this site on You Tube to watch the "how to" replace the gasket retainer. The retainer I needed did not come with brackets or the cam you will need. You will need transfer them from the old retainer to the new one. Not hard, just be mindful of position of the items you remove to put them back in place the same way. A metal rod holds the brackets and spring in place with a screw on one end to prevent rod from sliding off retainer. The cam has a screw that holds it in place, use from old retainer. If the old cam is not broken use the one from the old retainer. It is not hard and you will save $$$ that you would pay an appliance repair company.

unfortunately my fridge stopped working. I purchased another but wanted to try and repair the old one. when ew one arrived, the old one was supposed to be put in garage but instead was hauled away. Had delivery return next day but they had as already removed and lost the handle screw for the bottom freezer and the screw that holds handle in place. ordered the handle screw and picked up the nut. very simple to install the screw and put handle back on.

Unscrewed cover, 2 screws. Had some trouble getting it out. Was concerned about damaging the cover and cracking the plastic. Was able to remove it with no damage but it comes out of the installation slots very hard. Be patient and wiggle it until it comes out. Two more screws release the led board. It was changed very easily. Reassembly was easy but had to fight the plastic cover to get it to snap into place. Tightened the two screws for the cover. Broke the cover where the flat of one of the screws tightens against. I ordered other parts which assembled well. One part came in incorrect which I was reimbursed for and the new part was sent right out. Over all I give Parts Select a A ratin

Easy replacement job

Simple replacement part.
