The door shoot plastic had cracked allowing air to get into the freezer compartment.
I unplugged the fridge, removed the face plate on the front, disconnected the power feeds, unscrewed the electrical panel and moved it out of the way.
I then dismantled and removed the broken part and installed the new part. I was able to use the rest of the existing parts to get the job done.
I put everything back together, and voila! it works great.

Weight of the produce bin with the contents inside had cracked the tracks
First I removed the tracks from each side of the metal rack. Very easy using your hands to slide the tab until the part falls away.
Next I inserted the track into the tab position and snapped it into place.
Warning, dont let your kids pull the produce bin out all the way to the end of the track as it will bend and then finally crack like mine did, but thankfully an easy fix using the PartsSelect.com web site with their easy to navigate parts illustration list and manual.

Ice would not dispense from the door
Removed ice bucket and discovered the auger drum was broken.
After I received the new part, I removed the front screws of the ice bucket, removed the clip that held the auger and other parts together, and then slide each part off the auger until I got to the broken drum.
Assembly was in reverse except you must pay attention where all the spacers and ice crusher bars go back into the original position. This was the most difficult step.
Works great now, crushed and cubed ice dispenses thru the door like new.

Ice cube door would not close pr0perly
Because of the design change of the door hinge it was more difficult to slide the pin into the door and spring. I used an allen wrench to hold it in place on the left side so I could slide the pin in the right hole. Then removed the allen wrench so I could slide the pin all the way. I was very impressed with the time that it took to get the kit. I ordered it about 1:30PM and the following day I had the kit delivered by 6PM. FANTASTIC SERVICE!

Ice would not come out of the despensor
Pulled out the ice bin and dumpted ice in the sink. Use 1/4 inch nut driver to take out all 1/2 inch screws. Be careful to watch how door spring and holder goes. Pull assembly apart and remove alger. Plastic nut on end of alger has reverse threads, remove it and then remove broken alger drum. Replace with new drum and reassemble in reverse order.

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!!!!!! :-)

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.

Compressor making excessive noise
One front roller was flat on one side. Decided to replace all rollers at same time. Placed shims under unit and removed mounting screws for one front and one rear roller. With new rollers in place, I was able to level the refrigerator side to side, but unable to do so, front to back. Left the new front roller in place and reinstalled the old rear roller. Have decided to replace refrigeratorin the near future. This is one of my few repair failures!
