Motor stopped working
I thought this was going to be much more difficult than it was. Take the bottom access door off (using a small socket - same size for all screws). Disconnect the plug to the motor. Unscrew the 4 screws holding the motor. Take the motor out. Unscrew the shaft screws on top (only 2) so you can manipulate it if need be up and down or spin it. Insert new motor and make sure shaft is seated correctly into the motor head. Screw motor back in. Screw shaft back in. Plug up motor. Screw bottom door back on. You are done. EASY!! Took me about 10-15 minutes to do. Much easier than most things.

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?

Difficulty removing old switch.
Everything went as planned except the cold temperature (freezer door switch located inside freezer) made deflection of the switch locking tab difficult to remove. Letting the switch warm up was not an option.

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.

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.
