Freezer froze and refrigerator wet
First took all frozen food out and than undid the screws that held back on--than cut the wires that held the piece and replaced it but also found that the plug was frozen so we thawed that out, that is why it took longer. Used air compressor to blow air and it broke it free and than we finished and put the food back after it got cold. So far it is working find and to beat all we received our part the next day so my husband could fix it that weekend--Thank you for the quick respond-

The lightbulb burned out
Replace the refrigerator lightbulb while traveling 88 mph then turned on the flux capacitor being carful not to get stuck in a worm hole. This allows you to fix the problem before it starts to go bad.

Old seal was pulling apart, door wouldn't seal tight.
Having 2 people makes the job a snap. On our model the freezer door had to be partially removed so the other door can be lifted off, then slightly tighten freezer door in place. Lay door flat and remove the 36 screws & gasket making sure the new gasket slots are tucked under to match up with screw holes. We started all the screws & came back and tightened firmly. Loosen the freezer door and set the bottom door back in place, make sure doors clear each other and tighten down. Finished! I took the advice of another post and put gasket in clothes dryer for about 5 minutes,helps a bunch. Start to finish,30 minutes. Taking food out of door & replacing.

The freezer was icing and the refrigerator was running constantly
I took the freezer door off. Gasket screws ran on the four side of the door. I unscrewed the top and three sides but the bottom screws were completely rusted and stuck. As the refrigerator was almost 19 years old which is the predicted lifespan I decided to just buy a new refrigerator. I was able to adjust the old gasket and got the freezer working normally but decided to go ahead with the replacement.

Light switch wasn't working.. As I would close the door I would notice our frig light wasn't going off...
I simply removed the old switch by gently pulling down on the old switch with a screwdriver. When it was about half way out I just gently pulled down on the old switch and it popped out... I removed the two connectors attached to the old switch by pulling on the connectors with a pliers...I tried using my fingers but wasn't able to pull the connectors off so I used pliers. It worked perfectly.. When pulling off the old connectors, make sure you attach the new switch to the same tabs on the new switch... It was very easy to do and took under 5 mins.....The light switch works perfect....P.S. You should unplug the frig while making the connection just in case....Safety first....!!!

I broke the crisper glass shelf while cleaning my refrigerator.
This replacement glass shelf arrived the very next day-after it was shipped. I was so impressed with the easy method of ordering and the prompt delivery of this product-also, the quality of the shelf was perfect. Great service!! I would recommend this for everything-as far as parts needed for repair or replacement.

Identifying the part on the parts diagram took the longest. Finding the screw driver bit that would remove the old screw that held the original shelf support took longer than the actual repair.
Once I identified the bit that would remove the screw, the rest of the repair took 5 minutes. I removed the screw and discarded the remains of the original but now broken shelf support. With the same screw I simply attached the new shelf support that I received from PartSelect.com. End of story.

fridge door switch did not work
I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!
Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.

Refrigerator door bottom shelf fell apart
I googled 'appliance repair' and discovered PartSelect. Tracking down the right part was easy - all I needed was a measuring tape to compare with the gridline
Ordering was easy and installing it was a breeze.
It was nice to know I don't have to depend on an appliance repair man or local store to fix everything.
