Hinge on 'goumet lid' in front broke off
Wasn't a big deal. Removed the the shelves and glass immediately above the endcap as well as the large 'goumet' draw. Used a nutdriver to remove two screws. Popped off the old endcap and did everything in reverse. Replaced the long clear goumet draw cover that was still intact. Thanks for making it easy!!!!

broken light switch in the freezer
We removed the old switch, unplugged it, plugged the new one in and it was easy to do. But when we tried to put the switch back in we had a very hard time doing it. Eventually got it in, but if it had not been for the difficulty we had getting the new switch to snap in to place, it would have taken under 5 minutes.

Shattered glass shelf insert
Thank you for the prompt delivery. I thought it was going to be a big problem to get a replacement shelf, but I ordered online and had my part in 3 days! Very easy to insert. Did lay carton on the floor and pulled out the insert. At 83 my strength isn't what is used to be, but it came out pretty easy. I am beyond thrilled with the service. Thank you.

The small peg that holds the panry door in place broke, as a result the door would not operate
It took longer to empty the items off the shelf than it did to do the repair. Slid the veg, drawers out, set them aside.Took glass shelf out set it aside. removed three screws with 1/4in socket. Removed end cap. replaced with new end cap, replaced screws, cleaned and replaced shelf and drawers. Was a very easy task. these pegs break very easy, this is the second time I have had to replace the end cap, both times it was the left size. problem is you have to buy both the left and the right side together,

Cracked lid, broken hinge - right side
Two phillips head screws out to remove drawer slide. Three screws to remove right side drawer support. New support placed, new lid snapped into place. The right side has an adjustment lever. Re-routing that took the longest. The arm had to be removed and twisted to get the adjustment knob off and on.

Evaporator fan motor stopped working
I'm a 37 year old woman who has never worked on a fridge before, ever.
I was able to google how to run diagnostics on it and determine what the issue was.
Once I received the part I was able to take apart the freezer to get to the motor. Remove the old motor and install the new motor.
This was extremely easy I watched a couple of the youtube videos provided here and now it's running just fine.

The right end cap hinge broke for the pantry door.
I replaced both side. The left side I very easy to replace. It has 2 screws holding the end cap in place and the tracking has 2 screws holding it in. Undo the 4 screws and put the track on the new end cap and then you are good to go to install the new end cap on the left side. Now for the right side is easy, but you now have to also undo 2 screws and other 2 for the track just like left side but also you are going to have to undo the humidity control stuff and put it on the new end cap.

Refridgerator was not cooling as cold as normal
Removed the freezer door, by loosening 4 screws and pulling upwards to disengage door from frame. Removed the top basket by pulling up on both slides on the gear shaft sides, note they have retaining tabs you must push in. once the slide / guards are up the top basket comes out. Remove the bottom basket. Remove to angled screws on the top tracks and remove. Remove 6 screws on bottom slides, 3 per side and slide out as a whole unit. Unplug the ice maker, remove 3 screws for it to come out. Note I cleaned mine while it was out with vinegar to remove the mineral build up on it. Remove the screws in the back panel, and pull it forwards. The top vent has 2 clips that hold it in and you will need to remove it prior to fully removing the plate. The plug for the icemaker needs to be removed also. Pull the back plate out. Once the plate is out you can see the fan and access it. Unplug the clips that hold the wiring harness secure. 2 screws to remove the fan assembly. Once fan assembly is out, disassemble it, then reverse assemble it with new parts and fire it up. Mine took right off and running like its brand new.

The Tab on which the lid swings broke on the left side.
An ideal opportunity to clean the tracks for the glass top and sides. I just removed the two (2) screws with nut driver and gently eased the end cap off by slightly pulling it forward and up, inserting the lid onto the new endcap and slipping the cap back into place securing with the two screws. as easy as pie. I did not change the right end cap as there was no need for it, But if U have to change it U must also first disconnect the back plate.
