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....!!!

After 17 years, the old door gasket was split and showing signs of mold
The gasket has an inner lip that fits over the edge of the door plastic liner. The old gasket was removed by pulling it straight out, in the plane of the door. Try not to pull sideways as it could crack the door liner, which gets brittle with age. The new liner had a brown magnetic strip, which holds the door closed, and this fits behind the edge of the door liner. Start on the bottom of the door. A helper is useful to hold the gasket loosely vertical. A flat blade screwdriver can be used to pry away the liner to insert the new seal. Once you have worked in the lower edge, install both sides, and then the top. Some juggling side-to-side may be needed for an exact fit

fridge door switch did not work
I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!
Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.

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.

Did just like the video showed took doors off daughter helped take off doors so easy put door on blanket. My daughter 38 went to town putting it on just watch the corners so easy two days after installation the door seals great. You can do this.
