light did not work on the refrigerator side
bulbs were not burnt out. received the new switch in a few days. watch the short video, was good to see how it comes out. used a putty knife to release the defective switch, removed wires put them on the new one and posed the new switch back in. Not bad Part cost $11.00 7 dollars shipping so for 17 bucks it works great. nice to see what is inside the refer!

Meat drawer wouldnt slide.
I ordered a new drawer and when it got here I removed the old one and put the new one in. The drawer arrived so fast the bank hadnt even finished processing the payment.

Replace Meat Tray
The tray was easy; however removing the white nylon front piece from the old tray and installing it on the new one was difficult. It was extremely inflexible and I thought it would break before it snapped into place.

Broken light switch
Part was easy to order, delivered quickly, installation very easy. Just unplug the unit, pop out the old swich using a screwdriver, disconnect and reconnect leads and pop switch back in. Definitely recommend that you can do it too.

Door Light switch cracked Mounting
I noticed that the refrigerator was having trouble maintaining temperature. Thought it might be time for new one until I found out that a new frig was $5k to $7K. Just happened to notice that the light switch didn't look quite right (was not sitting sqaure to the door). Once I pressed it it came loose. I then realized the the lights were staying on (50 watts of heating). Replaced the switch and the frig started working like new.

light staying on
A very cold and brittle switch in a 17 year old fridge. Used screwdrivers to pry out with some resistance Had to cut the molded plug in half and split wires, because replacement contacts were farther apart than the original. End result, works great.

We bought the Whirlpool refrigerator from a friend. It is was in great shape, but was missing the meat drawer. He had no idea where it had gone.
I went to the Internet and found your company. I got the model # and serial # off of the fridge and located it on your website. I found it right away and was very happy. It was easy to use your website. It also came in record time. It has been a pleasure dealing with your company!

Internal light did not come on each time the door was opened.
After disconnecting the electricity. I followed the instructions as indicated in the "HOW TO" article on the website. I used a steel putty knife and pried the light switch out of its retaining hole. I worked the right side the most since this is the side with the retaining clip. After I removed the switch I transferred the two electrical outlets to the new switch and easily snapped it into place. Engaged the electric power and tested the switch.
