Old door handle bent in a move--Missing
First of all, I looked at the blow apart diagrams on Part Select website. That made it really easy to determine the parts I needed to complete the repair. Once I had received the parts and verified that all had arrived in good order, it took me 5 minutes and a Phillips screwdriver to do the rest.

There was no light on in refrig area
Just replaced the switch, but unfortunately that was not the problem; nor was it the bulb....so I am back to square one.
But Parts Select is a great place to order from. Thank you.

Refrigerator stopped cooling. Would restart when thermostat was tapped, but would stop again within minutes.
Instructions were simple and clear. Removed knob, snapped off plastic control panel. Then removed five 1/4" head sheetmetal screws to remove metal bracket holding thermostat. Two more 1/4" head screws held the thermostat to the bracket. Then pulled off the three fast-on electrical connections and pulled the thermostat and thermocouple tube out. Reversed the process to install new thermostat. My 33 year old garage refrigerator now works perfectly again! NOTE: searching for "thermostat" on the site didn't work.. It's called a "cold control thermostat" for some reason. That's redundant; other than cold, why would a themostat be in a refigerator, for heaven's sakes!?

Both outside door handles turned very beige
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

light not working in fridge
It was so easy!
Thanks for the rush to my home on the part.
I just unscrewed the plate that locks in the light switch (screwdriver) and unplugged the old faulty part and plugged in the new switch, screwed the cover back on and I was done!
Easy!
And I am not Mr. Fix-it!

Replaced the refrigerator door handle
1 Measured new door handle against the existing handle brackets. The handle was longer than the space between the brackets.
2 Cut the handle to length to fit in between the brackets (cut off about 1-1/2").
3 Loosened the top handle bracket. Inserted the handle in the handle brackets.
4 Tightened the top bracket screws down, thereby sandwiching the handle between the top and bottom bracket. Repair Completed.

No tempersture control, it was either onand freezing or off and hot.
A simple job to remove the plastic cover held by two screws. Then one screw which held the old controller frame. Then remove two screws which held controller. Putting it back was just the reverse.
I did not have to adjust the new control position but with the wrench in the kit it would have been no trouble to do that either.
The instructions were just fine and anyone with a little mechanical knowledge could do it

In the ice storm in bootheel of Mo the power spiked a few times before it went off. When power came back on, my frige wouldn't stay working. I would have to touch the thermostat to make it cycle back on. Found exact parts on line at partselect needed to repair the fridge. thanks guys!
First I unplugged the appliance, then I took the two screws out that hold the cover over the temp. control knobs,then I removed the cover from the fan and thermocouple probe end. Then I unplugged the two hot wires from the thermostat,and then the ground wire. Then removed the two screws holding the thermostat in place and removed old thermostat. Installed new thermostat following steps in reverse order.
