My kids broke the track on the slide out drawer
First I removed the drawer from the tracks. Second I took the whole shelf out and removed the track from it (it just slides in and out of place). Next I went to my computer and pulled up www.partselect.com found my model number,which was very easy, then ordered my part. In about three days my part arrived. I went to the fridge and slid the piece in. I put the drawer back in and checked for proper operation. It worked like new. Last I closed the door and I was done. Very simple job done with a great quality part.

Replacement of the Ice Guide
This one is not rocket science, however, it does take some careful "fudging" to accomplish without additional disassembly. The Ice Guide is held in place by three tabs. The tricky part is "tilting" the center tab into it's hole/slot on the ice dispenser lever (center hole), then tilting it up to snap into place.... there is a very tight tolerance here, with the opening of the ice/water dispensing unit. Be sure to "lock out" the ice maker/water dispenser, in order to be able to use the light. Once snapped in place, all is well.

Ice was missing ice door
This was very easy to install. Part Select had very fast shipping and reasonable prices. I love this website they have everything you need for your appliance. My ice door was very easy to install. I popped it into the grooves on the ice maker. It took about 30 seconds. THANKS PART SELECT YOU ARE GREAT!!!!!! :-)

Rubber cover seal old and sticking to the plastic opening - may cause the arm to break
Starting at the bottom, with a flat blade screwdriver pry the front cover off the opening. Unplug the wire connector from the back, remove the cover plate holding the switches and light socket by pushing out on the plastic clips on each side. Use something like a bungie cord to hold it up out of the way. Carefully unsnap the clear plastic ice shoot from the push arm, next carefully unsnap the cover door from the push arm. Clean anything that needs cleaning (CLR works great on hard water deposits)
Install everything in reverse order, the cover door first, ice shoot next, switch plate, plug in the wire connector and snap the outside cover in place.

Slide track required modification - Door cams installed easily
There were two small round studs in each slide track missing from the originals. Since there were no corresponding holes in the metal shelf bracket on my fridge, I ground off the plastic studs with a Dremel tool and the tracks fit perfectly.
My door would self-close anymore due to worn door cams. To fix I removed the door by unbolting the upper hinge and lifting the door off the lower hinge. I pried the cams off the door and the lower hinge and pressed the new ones into place. Added a dab of grease and reinstalled the door. Closes like new.

my drum was broken and would not put ice down to be used
I could not have done it without reading the repair story about this same issue. I DID take a digital picture before taking the blades out and that was helpful. NO ONE, except in the repair story, ever mentioned the reverse screw to get the blades off. It simply made it possible for me.
I fixed it!!!! I am a 69 year old widow who loves crushed ice, so I am happy!!
The PartSelect service is great!

Meat drawer tracks(2) broken on ends
Ordered and received parts. Removed drawer and shelf unit. Removed the glass from top of shelf. Each track(2) slides out of slots on each of the metal shelf brackets. Slid old tracks out of each shelf bracket. Had to use small screwdriver to push down plastic tab that locks track before it would slide all the way out. Each new track had a small tab on each end, which would not let them slide into the slots on the metal shelf brackets. Used a small saw (could also use a file) to remove the 2 tabs on each track. Slid the new tracks onto metal shelf brackets, reinstalled shelf unit, glass top and drawer. Took about 40 minutes.

Ice Bin Auger Drum was broken.
First, I removed the 6 screws which hold the ice bin to the drum and the front cover. I then removed the screw which holds the door lever and bracket to the ice bin. Then I took the C clip and washer off the end of the auger to remove it from the housing. I removed the plastic nut to remove the auger drum from the auger shaft, being careful to place the blades on the table in the order they were removed. I then installed the new auger drum on the shaft and re-assembled everything in the reverse order. This was really easy for me because I had replaced the auger previously. (about 2 years ago)

Refrigerator door on a side by side unit would not stay closed.
First empty the shelves on the refrig. door. Then removed the upper hing cover and removed the three screws holding the hinge to the body of the refrigerator. Lifted the door off the bottom hinge and placed it clear of the unit.
Inspected the bottom hinge and cleaned off the screw holding the closing cam, then with a nutdriver removed the screw holding the cam and removed the cam from the hinge. Installed a new cam closer, secured the cam with a screw. Hanged the door back on the lower hinge and re-installed the upper hinge. Job Complete!

The filter holder needed to be replaced because it was leaking
I followed the instruction video and it is very straight forward. My biggest problem was disconnection the 2 tubes that insert into the filter holder. Once I disconnected it from the front, I couldn't pull it far enough forward to get good access to manipulate those tubes. I had to pull the refrigerator out from the wall to get access to the back. On the back, there is another part you can unscrew where the other end of the tubes are connected. Once you've done this, you can pull the filter holder forward and release those tubes. Then attach the tubes to the new filter holder and reinstall everything.

Replaced door gasket and hinge closers on Refrigerator door.
I just followed the excellent Video for both parts. The door gasket is tedious but doable, just take a deep breath and press on. Putty knife is handy to push edge of gasket under the plastic lip. The closer devices take 3 minutes - simple R&R. Check the videos - they're pretty clear and detailed.
