Gasket wouldn’t hold door shut.
NO DIRECTIONS CAME WITH GASKET! Project failure as gasket tore on a corner. For the price of this gasket, I was DISAPPOINTED. Door is being held shut with a childproof strap.

I added an ice maker to a 20 year old refridgerator
I added an icemaker kit. Everything I needed was in the kit. The refrigerator was presetup for an icemaker it was just never added. The only problem I had was that the holes for attaching the water solenoid were not pre drilled so I had to drill them myself and use sheet metal screws. The icemaker is working great.

I broke the plastic handle on my brand new refrigerator
Removed the two screws on top, then slide the trim cover at the bottom of the handle down and removed the third screw to remove the handle.
New handle goes in with two top screws first, then third screw at tem bottom of the handle. Don't forget to slide the trim piece back on to cover the third screw...

It was my first time to install a ice maker.
I first read the instruction manual then I watched the installation video. My water line to it was 3/8. Went to the local ACE Hardware to purchase a short peace of 1/4 copper tubing and the fittings to connect them together. It makes ice every 55 minutes.

lights wouldn't come on/work in refrigerator
Referencing the info/schematics you have on your website, I unscrewed/unattached top-front panel (carefully), from behind the panel you have to detach the wires (2) from the switch, pushed "in" the switch to remove, put in new switch and attach wires to test BEFORE remounting panel. Tada!! Thank you PartSelect! You saved me at least $80...would have been at least $100 to have a repair person come to the house!

Getting Ice Maker to sit in place prior to tightening screws.
Don not completely remove holding icemaker screws. Unit slips over screws and drops down into place and the use nutdriver to tighten in place. Rest of unit was sound and wasn’t replaced.
After icemaker is installed wait for a while and unit self activated and creates ice cubes.

My pan crisper is broken.
The repair story webpage has some problems. I want to rate it "very helpful" but it showed "not helpful". I am pleased with the order service. It was very hard to find the parts on the web. There are a couple of web sites but only partselect has it in inventory. I ordered it, and it came in within 5 days. Excellent service. Will continue to order parts from this site in the future.

Freezer door handle needed to be replaced
First I took a Phillips head screwdriver to the top bracket of the fridge and removed the two screws on top and removed the screws out of the bottom of the freezer door, then placed the new freezer handle into the holes of the old one and reattached the screws to the new handle. The customer service rep. that got me the correct sized handle, knew the correct size as the lower fridge handle is longer than the freezer handle of 11 inches. You cannot even tell that the handle has been replaced.
