Freezer was cooling but refridgerator was not
The evaporator coil was fully coated with ice. When all the ice melted the 2 leads on the old defrost thermostat (which was defective -- the gel was protruding over the top of the thermostat) were cut and the old thermostat removed. The leads from the new thermostat (bought from PartSelect) were re-attached to the wires that were previously cut and the defrost thermostat snapped back onto the evaporator coil.

The plastic water fill tube got cracked when we moved. I called a parts company and they told me they couldn't just sell me the tube I would have to buy a whole kit for about $50 dollars. I decided to glue the tube. It worked for a while then it started leaking. So I thought I would have to buy
I hand screwed the fill tube into the water tube and stuck it into the freezer hole. I screwed the fill tube to the back of the refrigerator.
Thanks so much! You saved me a bundle!!

Light rocker switch broke and refrigerator light couldn't go on.
I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.
