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.

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.

Light switch wasn't working.. As I would close the door I would notice our frig light wasn't going off...
I simply removed the old switch by gently pulling down on the old switch with a screwdriver. When it was about half way out I just gently pulled down on the old switch and it popped out... I removed the two connectors attached to the old switch by pulling on the connectors with a pliers...I tried using my fingers but wasn't able to pull the connectors off so I used pliers. It worked perfectly.. When pulling off the old connectors, make sure you attach the new switch to the same tabs on the new switch... It was very easy to do and took under 5 mins.....The light switch works perfect....P.S. You should unplug the frig while making the connection just in case....Safety first....!!!

The handle broke and my wife was afraid to close the door because she might not be able to open it back.
The part-select video showed me to do the following:
Unplug dish washer
Open the door and unscrew the screws around the inside of the door all around.
Place the screws in the detergent holder with a cap until finished.
The door mechanism is at the top and attached to two electrical wires.
Unfasten the wires from the attachment.
Take the new attachment and fasten the wires to it.
Place the attachment back in the spot and make sure handle is sticking thru the hole to the outside.
Reattach the screws.
Plug back chord.
Finished - 15 minutes
