Light in the refrigerator didn't work
I did exactly as the video showed. I popped out the old switch, disconnected the two terminals, connected the new switch and put it back. The light now works! The refrigerator is over 25 years old and the switch works! What a great website this is. Couldn't of done the job without Partselect's help.

stopped chilling
I did a Google Search for a 1998 Whirlpool ED22RF, looked for trouble Isolation procedures. Don't remember the web sites but two parts were mentioned namely the timer and the thermal relay. After making sure it was unplugged I removed the back lower insulation panel, removed the red wire from the relay located on the left side of the condenser and unplugged the relay. I examined it for physical damage before checking with an ohmmeter and found the thermal relay sounded like it was full of sand when I shook it. So we found PartSelect and searched for the thermal relay and found an exact picture with the part number and ordered the part. We received the $30 part 5 days later. Only took 15 minutes and two tools to install. Thank you for saving us a few hundred dollars.

Refrigerator side was warm.
I was amazed how easy it was to replace this control board. I printed the pictures and instructions for the part that were on your site. There was a video for another part and it allowed me to get familiar with the layout of my unit. Thank you very much.

Light switch which turns on the lights when the door opens went out
This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.

Broke the arm off the food compartment rocker switch
After receiving the new part almost immediately,using two screw drivers, removed the broken switch from the plastic frame. Be careful not to scratch or otherwise tear the plastic...very pliable. Since the original switch was factory installed and the wires were packed in fiberglass insulation, the switch came out but the wires and clips were still in place and could not reach the new switch. It was necessary to pull them down with bent long nose pliers...used a lot of "pull" but the wires held up.Connected the switch, turned the power on and there was light! Reports from other users really took the uncertainty out of the task.

fresh food section not getting cold
First I called Mr appliance from Bayport ny, And they told me we needed a new frig. So that night we went out and bought a new one from PC.The next day I canceled it and watched your video. The freezer side was cold and the fan was running so I figured it was most likely the defrost timer or the bimetel thermostat as the evaporator was frozen.I ordered the part from you (parts select)installed it EASY And it runs perfect!! This is my second time the last time it was my Moms frig but in this case the fan was not running. So I ordered from you watched your video and again it runs perfect. Thank you for all your help. I will always order from you.Oh and the part was at my door in two days.And I was able to cancel the other frig 1300.00 saved Thank you parts select

Protective cover for bulb had melted
I tried to just replace the cover rather than the whole unit but it was impossible - the cover would not go/stay on. I tried to remove the old unit completely but it would not unplug it was practically fused to the back of the fridge and the liner was cracking. I ended up breaking the cover and jerry rigging it over the bulb to prevent items in the fridge from being able to touch. Bad solution.
