The door switch was broken so the interior light would not come on.
The instructions in the package were not helpful. They wanted me to cut the wiring harness and described where to cut based on the wire colors. My wires were not the same color! I removed the light mechanism using a combination of a screwdriver, putty knife, and plain old muscle with my fingers! The wiring harness unplugged easily and the new one inserted. It was easy to push the whole assembly back into the door. I spent more time looking for something to cut the wiring harness with (and never did find it) than the whole job actually took without needing to cut anything!

Refer lights not working, there are two lights and neither worked. Decided the switch was the problem.
The switch fix but did not fix the problem. I assumed the wires go on the same way as on the old switch. Is it possible if one light Burns out, the other will not work either?

As I was emptying the fridge to give to a freind, I broke the crisper cover frame that holds the large glass shelf.
I ordered the part, it arrived very quickly. I removed the large glass shelf, removed the broken frame and replaced it in less than 5 minutes. No tools required!

The door bins slide down into the door so no tools were needed.
After removing the bin from the box and removing the protective grip I aligned the bin to the door and pushed down. Easy Peasey.
Ordered 2 bins waiting on the second now.

Bottom of ice container auger was broken
Simply pulled out the old unit and installed new per instructions. I was going to order just the part that houses the auger and ice bucket. I was also going to purchase the lesser quality brands at deep discount but after ready the 'challenges' with all of that - spent the money and saved myself the headaches. (and scratched fingers) Easy peasy.
