Crisper drawer would not slide in/out easily, piece from cross support would fall in way
removed all three drawers. remove shelf glass, remove shelf frame which the glass sat on.
Removed damaged side support, which had two keyhole slots, I pushed up on the rear screw attach point and then forward for front attach point. Piece slid off and I put the new side support on in reverse.
Really well engineered. I just had to clean all the pieces I took out which added to overall time of job but not really.

Water was leaking when ice maker or water dispenser was being used.
Looked for the same repair on line by model number. I found it, watched the repair, then used those instructions to complete the repair on my refrigerator. The disassembly and reassembly took longer than actually replacing the part. It now works beautifully with NO leaks.

Difficulty removing old switch.
Everything went as planned except the cold temperature (freezer door switch located inside freezer) made deflection of the switch locking tab difficult to remove. Letting the switch warm up was not an option.

Refer lights not working, there are two lights and neither worked. Decided the switch was the problem.
The switch fix but did not fix the problem. I assumed the wires go on the same way as on the old switch. Is it possible if one light Burns out, the other will not work either?

Small water leak from cracked fitting leading into water reservoir fill valve.
Remove some shelving and have a towel handy. Opened water filter door to expose two 1/4” screws. Removed 2 screws. Placed my hands firmly on upper panel and gently pulled/tugged panel forward and slightly down. Disconnected roof lighting clip. Removed panel from frig. Disconnected both ends from solenoid fill valves by pressing in the colored locking piece to release tubing while pulling tube out. Cut zip ties and removed old leaking reservoir. I also removed the straight reservoir seeing as the part I replace was redesigned and the other one was not needed. Put new zip ties in place. Slid the new part into position and pressed the ends into the solenoid valves. You do not need to press in colored locking pieces, they will self lock. Secured with zip ties. Grabbed a container and filled it up with water through the door to fill and purge and check for leaks. Reconnect light clip, reinstalled top liner and snapped into place. Put screws in. Closed filter door. Took about 15 minutes. I did watch a you tube video prior to attempting this repair myself.

Broken drawer
Once I got a part that wasn't broken in transit (took them sending it 3 times for that to happen), it was a breeze. Remove old drawer, take tracks off old drawer and place on new drawer. Put new drawer in fridge.

Center support for Crisper Drawer broken
The guide wheel and some other plastic for the Crisper Drawers had broken. The new part arrived and only partly resembled the original. That turned out to be good news.
First, you have to remove the drawers, then the glass shelf assembly. Put the glass aside.
To remove the original support, an area of the old one that joined the part to the shelf unit above had to be broken off. Once that was removed the part came away easily.
In contrast, the replacement part easily slid into place. I reassembled the shelf and drawers easily.

No Problem This was a simple replacement of the water filter.
Lower the filter cover on the refrigerator, twist the old filter to remove it, install the new filter by pushing and twisting it, and close the filter door.
Using a pitcher, run water through the new filter until the excess carbon leavings are out then the water is clear and is drinkable

broken light switch in the freezer
We removed the old switch, unplugged it, plugged the new one in and it was easy to do. But when we tried to put the switch back in we had a very hard time doing it. Eventually got it in, but if it had not been for the difficulty we had getting the new switch to snap in to place, it would have taken under 5 minutes.
