The Light Socket Burned Out.
I pulled the socket out and unplugged the wires. I replaced the light socket by plugging in the wires and snapping the light socket into place. A very simple fix.

Poor design leaves fitting vulnerable to damage. Part was broken when pushed to close to the wall.
Simply removed the old and replaced with the new part.

Movers broke the icemaker water fill tube shoving my refrigerator through the front door.
I unscrewed the fill tube screws from the back of the fridge, and pulled the tube out.
Then I put the new tube in, screwed the screws back in and reconnected the waterline.

Gasket was splitting
Had to remove both doors freezer and fresh section. Once I had door off removed the screws, and old gasket, cleaned all aroud where old gasket was, and proceeded to put new gasket on, It was hard lining up gasket with metal rods that hold gasket on could only do one screw at a time, because gasket kept slipping out, it was very time consuming.
