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....!!!

Refrigerator suddenly not staying cold. Freezer icing up about 1 month before.
Noticed the evaporator fan not spinning but would spin with a finger jump start. After looking up the part on the PartSelect liner parts diagram I found the installation video that really helped. After installing the fan it tested out fantastic. The fan was blowing air 10 times more than the old one. Refrigerator works great on the original econo setting.

Freezer Shelf
I bought this refrigerator from a big box store w/o seeing the actual model, but was told the one I was buying was exactly the same only w/o handles sticking out. Not so. This model has no full-size freezer shelf even tho there are slots on both sides of the freezer for a full-size shelf. Whirlpool was no help, telling me I'd undo the warranty if I tried to put in a shelf that wasn't for that freezer, but I investigated & found the frig I originally saw, got its full-size freezer shelf model number, & voila! I'm now a happy camper with a better organized freezer. Freezer shelf fit perfectly, came intact due to being well-packed for shipment. Easy to install-just slid it into the shelf track slots.

Refrigerator light would not turn on.
I first replaced the switch and had no results, I then ordered the Light Socket Kit, and because I had the experience of removing the panel to replace the switch, it took a few minutes to remove the two screws behind the panel, removing the temperature control knobs and then releasing the face plate which is secured by tabs at the bottom. The kit came with extra connectors in case they were needed, but they were not in my case and so I pulled off the wires, pushed the old socket out and the new one in. Attaching the wires to the correct pins, I screwed in the light bulb to be sure that the fix was correct and determining that, I replaced the screws that held the panel in place. Voila, I'm a happy camper who found some outdated jars in the back corners of the newly lighted shelves.
