One of the light bulbs went out on my Whirlpool refrigerator.
I changed the bulb but it still didn’t work. I ordered a bulb holder and replaced it and it works properly now. It was an easy repair, remove the bulb, gently pry the bulb holder out with a screwdriver and snap the new one in.

It was useful that under the description of the part in the catalog, it showed that this part was often used to repair this issue. The service was great and the delivery was fast.

original meat drawer broke due to overloading. I ordered from PART SELECT but had the agent help me with the exact item!
Getting the right part was the key but I had the serial number and the agent in Nova Scotia helped me identify the part and using the 360 degree camera, I was
able to determine how it was going to slide into the shelf. It took less than 15 minutes and was extremely easy to install. Everything just slide right in. The agent was the key to my success!

The original shelf that came with the refrigerator broke and we ordered a replacement.
The problem with the replacement part is that it didn't fit cleanly and doesn't slide well with the existing drawer.
We were disappointed.

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!

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....!!!

broken meat drawer ;shelf
When I did not see instructions on how to replace the broken shelf that holds the meat drawer, I was afraid it would be difficult but after seeing how the broken piece placement was placed all I had to do was slide it off and place the new one. No problem, Thank you!!!
