Refrigerator and freezer stopped cooling. Compressor pump not coming on
I removed the cover panel. There is a clip that holds the relay and capacitor to the pump. Use a screwdriver to pry it off. Unplug the relay. The capacitor is plugged into the relay and they come together which was a surprise, I thought I only ordered the relay. Unplug a cable from the relay. Insert that cable into the new relay and plug it into the compressor. Reattach the clip. One be important instruction. Unplug the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before installation to allow the compressor to cool down. I tried first without allowing the compressor to cool and it did not work. After letting it cool I tried again and it worked like charm. Make sure the refrigerator is unplugged when doing the repair

I replaced the end panel where a plastic hinge pin had broken
Remove the shelves and the other trays. Use the nutdriver to extract the screws and the panel. Pay attention to the orientation of plastic parts when replacing plastic slides to avoid breaking the plastic slide components. Avoiding too much stress on plastic parts is important.

The hinge pin broke that holds the door on the full-width vegetable drawer
I removed all drawers (including the two above the repair site, removed the left side end cap - it was help in place with only two screws (one screw hole appears never to have had a screw). Swapped out the broken part for the new one, reinstalled the screws, put the drawers back, mounted the operable door to the two hinge pins, and things were fixed.

Replace Pantry End Cap due to the hinge breaking off.
I removed salad and veg draws, pantry draw and the two glass shelves. Located and removed the screws holding the pantry side, gently eased the side out and replaced with the new one. Just a breeze to replace and for a 73 old female, pretty good. Thank you PartSelect for speedy delivery of part.

Broke parts due to grandchildren not being careful with middle drawer
to repair the center rail, all I did was remove the food and the top glass and insert the rail!!! to repair the end cap all I did was remove the big drawer and remove the broken end cap and replace with the new one. My only thought is this is the third end cap I have had to replace not very sturdy construction where the lid hangs

Ice and Water Filter needed to be replaced.
I snapped the cover plate to the filter open. Pulled the filter down and twisted counter clock wise to take filter out. I installed the new filter in by inserting the filter and tuning clock wise to secure the filter. I flushed the water for about two minutes and then allowed it to be put back into service.

pins holding cover were broken off
My son in law was able to take off the defective end pieces, and replace them with the new ones, in about 20 minutes. 10 minutes were probably spent in finding the right tools.Very easy to do. Parts were received within 2 days of ordering (I placed order on a Sunday).I was able to find the parts right away on your inter net lay out.
