The plastic water fill tube got cracked when we moved. I called a parts company and they told me they couldn't just sell me the tube I would have to buy a whole kit for about $50 dollars. I decided to glue the tube. It worked for a while then it started leaking. So I thought I would have to buy
I hand screwed the fill tube into the water tube and stuck it into the freezer hole. I screwed the fill tube to the back of the refrigerator.

Thanks so much! You saved me a bundle!!

Metal end cap on freezer door handle broke
Parts Select was easy to deal with -- had the item next morning after ordering! But Whirlpool should be ashamed -- this is the FOURTH time this part has had to be replaced in the 13 years we've had this refrigerator. Unrelated, but still a Whirlpool problem, the icemaker broke within 6 months -- had it repaired twice and then gave up. Will buy a different brand frig next time.

Broken wheel on leveling roller
I removed one bolt and took out the old roller after first blocking up the fridge. Then I was puzzled for a moment because the hole in the new assembly was not tapped. But then I saw that the old bolt was a self tapping bolt. I used it to tap the hole then removed it and installed the new assembly. No sweat job.
