Internal light did not come on each time the door was opened.
After disconnecting the electricity. I followed the instructions as indicated in the "HOW TO" article on the website. I used a steel putty knife and pried the light switch out of its retaining hole. I worked the right side the most since this is the side with the retaining clip. After I removed the switch I transferred the two electrical outlets to the new switch and easily snapped it into place. Engaged the electric power and tested the switch.

Both outside door handles turned very beige
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

light staying on
A very cold and brittle switch in a 17 year old fridge. Used screwdrivers to pry out with some resistance Had to cut the molded plug in half and split wires, because replacement contacts were farther apart than the original. End result, works great.

replaced ice maker with ice tray shelf
Disconnected electrical plug between ice maker and frig. Removed 3 screws holding ice maker in place and removed ice maker. Ice tray shelf only uses the upper 2 screw locations. It would have been helpful if I had been told that the original screws holding the ice maker would not work because they are too short, and that I would need some special washers/spacers that fit the new shelf. Luckily I had longer screws available and I was able to fabricate the washers from some scrap plastic. Installed successfully.

The center support rail (plastic) for the crisper bins broke at the front end support plate. No obvious way to fix it.
I easily identified the needed part from the diagram on the PartSelect.com site and ordered it. It arrived within three business days (standard shipping). It simply popped into place in the respective slots in the bin frame--no tools needed. The whole process cost less than $11.00 with more than half of the cost going for shipping.
