Original crisper drawer broke
Since the original drawer sides had broken off the repair was very easy. I threw the old one in the trash and inserted the new drawer in its place. The fit was perfect and I have had no issues at all. The delivery was rather speedy also. Very happy!!

Refrigeration Door Handle End Cap cracked
The repair was REALLY SIMPLE. I popped off the cap cover from the existing end cap, insert the door handle to the new end cap, screw on the new end cap with a Phillips screw driver, and then push the old cap cover back on. Took less than 10 minutes, if that.

The plastic water fill tube got cracked when we moved. I called a parts company and they told me they couldn't just sell me the tube I would have to buy a whole kit for about $50 dollars. I decided to glue the tube. It worked for a while then it started leaking. So I thought I would have to buy
I hand screwed the fill tube into the water tube and stuck it into the freezer hole. I screwed the fill tube to the back of the refrigerator.

Thanks so much! You saved me a bundle!!

the freezeer gasket was not sealing properly and the refrigerator door one was torn
Since the parts arrived with no instructions and I had a vague idea of what I had to do, I went on You-tube and watched a video which was very helpful. It was a little difficult at first but once I got the hang of it things went smoothIy. It's like a brand new refrigerator now!

Installed Ice Maker in Freezer
Installed ice machine components using kit and included instructions. Easy! Ran a copper line from under sink valve to back of refrigerator under the floor. Drilled two holes to run copper line. Plumber turned water off and replaced single valve with a double valve (one line to faucet and the other for the copper line). Installed shut off valve and filter at the other end of copper line. Then stainless hose to refrigerator. Everything went smooth. Double check the factory installed plastic line from the electric valve to the inlet for your freezer. Mine was barely inserted and leaked. I pushed it in all the way and it is fine now... Ice maker works really well! Wish I had done this sooner!
