Broken door switch and beverage door cracked
The beverage door was easy. Just pop out the old and in with the new. The light switch was just a small challenge. Getting the old one out was a little tricky using a putty knife, as directed, after a screwdriver wouldn't quite so it. Once out, the new switch hooked up and went in quite easily. Now, on to the icemaker, a bit more of a challenge.

Broken drawer tab
My 3 year old broke the tab, so I ordered the new piece. My husband installed it, but I was right there watching. Very simple fix. No issues at all. One thing I loved is that the shipping was super fast! I did not request any expedited shipping, but as fast as it came you would've thought I had. I know this is a website I will be purchasing future replacement products from!!

The tab which held the bottom drawer lid opened broke
I removed the bottom pantry drawer, the lid, the two drawers above the bottom drawer, the glass shelf above the bottom drawer, and the plastic supports for the glass shelf. I used the socket set to remove the sliding metal tray, I installed the sliding metal tray piece on the new end cap. Then I removed the two bolts that held the plastic "pantry end cap" in place. Once those bolts were removed, I carefully pulled the end cap into the center of the fridge to separate temperature control rod from the back of the fridge. There is a piece of angled plastic that holds it in place. Once I had that whole apparatus removed (there are three parts) I had to carefully angle the plastic piece to disconnect the temperature control rod from the old end cap, and install it on the new end cap. So long as you are careful and do not force it, it is very straight forward. You do not need to bend or force anything to get it separated and re-installed. Once I had the temp control rod moved over, I installed the angled plastic piece in the back, then angled the end cap against the side wall, then installed the two bolts that hold it in place. Then I put the pantry drawer, shelf, and other drawers back in place.

The pin on the pantry end cap broke so that the pantry lid was not functional.
Replaced the pantry end cap by first removing the pantry drawer. Then removing both crisper drawers and the first shelf with the plastic bars that hold it in place. Removed the slider that the pantry drawer rests on to move in and out -just needed a small flat head screwdriver for that. Then removed three nuts holding the end cap with a nut driver. End cap snap right out and new one went right in. Screwed in three nuts. Then reattached the slider for pantry draw with two screws. Reassembled shelf, crisper drawers and then slid in pantry drawer - reattached the pantry lid to the pins on either end cap. Very easy. The activity that took longest was acquiring the nut driver - I didn't have the right tool. All in all simple job.

pantry door hinge broke
had to replace the whole right side panel, came off fairly easy, but to get the adustable rod out and back into the new panel was somewhat difficult. I found out you can bend more than what you think to get it out and back in. It is the rod that adjusts the air flow

Both sides stopped getting cold
I'm a 65 year old widow on a limited SS income, so I needed to get my refrigerator fixed as cheaply as possible. Partselect's troubleshooting guides took me right to the problem. I ordered the part on a Friday and it arrived the next Tuesday. It probably took me a little longer than it would a repairman, but I did it myself with just a screwdriver and a nut driver and it only cost me $45 instead of the $200 plus it costs my daughter to have someone else replace hers two years ago. Always remember to unplug amy electrical device before removing the covers or attempting any repair. All I had to do was remove the lower back cover on the refrigerator and, using the partselect diagram, locate the casing that covered the start relay and the overload switch on the left side of the compressor. I popped the casing off with the screwdriver, pulled the relay off (it's sits on two prongs), and remove the red terminal wire from the relay. Installation of the new relay is the reverse steps of the removal. Thanks, Partselect! I will be doing business with you again if the need ever arises.

Cantilevered utility bin was broken

The end cap had broken
The little knob that holds the door onto the deli bin had snapped. I ordered the part, it arrived within a couple of days. I emptied the necessary shelves, cleaning as I went of course. Removed the old part and installed the new part- instructions weren't necessary. I had the part back in within a few minutes. Someone else had reported that it took longer to remove the shelves and replace them than it did to replace the end cap. I found my experience was the same. I was very proud that I didn't have to ask my husband to do the repair for me- I did it myself.
