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.

The end pieces for the refrigerator door broke
The repair was so easy. All I had to do was take out the screws, and fit the new pieces in. Even though the new pieces were chrome plated plastic (unlike the original metal black ones) you can't tell that they didn't come that way. It makes the refrigerator almost look brand new! When we move out our landlords will definitely have received an upgrade!

Movers broke the icemaker water fill tube shoving my refrigerator through the front door.
I unscrewed the fill tube screws from the back of the fridge, and pulled the tube out.
Then I put the new tube in, screwed the screws back in and reconnected the waterline.

Water tubing was accidentally broken from the back of the freezer.
Removed the two screws holding the funnel in place...removed the old one and replaced it witht he new tubing...screwed screws back in and the jov was complete. It actually took longer to get it out of the sack than it did to put it together

Poor design leaves fitting vulnerable to damage. Part was broken when pushed to close to the wall.
Simply removed the old and replaced with the new part.

End Cap cracked and broke from age.
Removed the one screw and replaced with new end cap. Only disappointment was the beige color, as I would have preferred a white one. White color was not offered. Other than that it took less than five minutes. I'd rate it 4 stars.

Broken light switch
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.
