rusty auger tainting ice
It was so easy! I seldom attempt any household repair because I have a husband that can fix anything, but he was not available. One screwdriver & remove 4 screws attaching the existing front to old auger/bucket. Line up the screw holes on new bucket with old front, put the 4 screws in through those holes tighten screws & I was done.

auger and bucket neded to be changed because of rust which caused the auger and other metal parts to rust which created an unpleasant odor in ice and freezer. to
The part arrived promptly but was defective. Upon learning of the problem by PartSelect a new part was shipped and was delivered incredibly quickly. Installing it was easy and took only about 5 minutes. We were pleased with the speed in sending the parts and the ease of installation. We will call on them again if necessary because of their good business practices.

pulled out frig unplugged power turned off water at tank disconnected water line and electrical plugs replaced valve replaced wire hook ups different size but easy to install.(came with valve) Cut water lines off inserted into valve different sizes so easy to connect in right place. Reattached electrical wires. (Note remember were the wires came from) Checked for leaks Done! Might want to make sure tubes are inserted completely and you cut the tubes off straight...possible water leak if not.

bulb out
I ordered the part, within two days we had received it. My husband put the part in and I really don't know what he used doing so. All I know is that the light works now and we don't have to use the flashlight. Thanks a lot.

switch wouldn't come out anymore and turn light on
Gently pry out switch in door jam with screwdriver and pull both connectors off and put connectors on new switch then push switch back into the hole. Looked it up on the internet and video showed how to and also had link to new part, ordered and less than a week later the fridge is bright again. I have an older freezer also and it seems that they all use the same switches. Very Very easy

water was dripping from this valve
I removed the valve from the fridge with a nut driver, this allowed me to disconnect the two lines and the water main inlet. Re attach the main line and cut off ends of both plastic lines with a razor knife and re insert the two lines. Last was to connect the main water inlet and tighten . The last thing was to turn on the water and check for leaks and we had none so put the fridge back in its proper place and job done. Thank you for your help Michael

Ice maker not making ice
I'm a real novice at appliance repair but learned a lot from this effort. After doing enough online research and watching videos, I diagnosed the problem with my 20 year old ice maker. It was working, just not getting water. So I ordered a new water valve, much cheaper than the part Sears recommended. I easily hooked up the new valve but the old copper water supply line was leaking so I ordered a $7 pex line from Home Depot. Hooked it all back up and now I'm in business, and saved some money too!
