Took the old out and put the new in - sits on mounts in refrig. Took old gasket out (still good) and put it in the new bracket.

The trick was finding the SSN to purchase the right part (failed on first two orders). The SSN was located in the freezer NOT in the refrig where the instructions said it was. Freezer is a bottom freezer making it difficult to see.

At first I went to a local part supplier and they didn't have it in stock but could order it for me for $55.00 plus $10.00 to ship it. I told them I would have to think about it. I went home and got on the computer and found your web site and was I shocked when I saw the same part listed for $6.98 and $7.00 to ship it. You guys saved me $50.00. The part arrived in two day and took 5 min. to install. I now have light in my refrigerator. Thank you.

alined the new part and snapped it on.

Well the part and repair was so easy my wife did it and is very proud of herself

Replacement partfit perfectly.

One of the front studs was broken off. I had to use pliers to pull it out (kind of tight). Then I inserted the back and front holders and layed the shelf back in. Total time...10 min

Replaced broken shelf bracket

Used a screwdriver to pry loose the old switch, swapped wires to the new switch and pushed it into the opening. Took about 2 minutes.

Just replaced the old piece with the new. Simple and easy.

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.

Pry old switch and pull out. Disconect two wires. Put two wires on new switch, must be inserted right and connections not loose. Put switch in, making shure wies do not come off and snap in place
