No water to door or ice maker
I removed the old valve assembly from the refrigerator's cabinet with a nut driver. I then pushed the lines for the water dispenser and ice maker into the valve and attached it to the cabinet. After connecting the water supply we had ice and water.

automatic ice maker not functioning
Observing the ice maker itself was working, and that water was flowing to the dual inlet water valve, I assumed the problem must be a faulty outflow valve. If either of the two valves do not close completely, the water slowly accumulates in the plastic line and freezes as it enters the freezer compartment. A solid plug of ice will form in the line, either causing no water to enter the ice tray, or it may leak under pressure when the valve opens briefly (as was my case). The solution was simple: change the dual inlet valve, and while this took me approximately 15 minutes to 1)turn off electricity and water to the frig, and 2)replace the part, the plastic tube going to the ice tray warmed up enough as I watched a one inch plug of ice exit the tubing. Once the power and water was turned on, and I checked for leaks, the ice maker worked like new! Not bad for a $30 fix.

Air leaking into freezer through door dispenser
I followed the video instructions. They were clear and consise. I removed the trim ring and controls. Them removed the housing and flapper. I did notice a small burr in the plastic chute and foam insulation. I trimmed this off with a utility in hopes this burr caused the flapper to warp. This is the 2nd time the flapper has been replaced in 1.5 yrs. The repair was really easy thanks to the video.

Heater failed
Troubleshooting was the most complicated. Once I had assured myself that the defrost timer and thermostat were operating correctly, I defrosted the fridge and removed the heater to find that one of the two heaters had failed. I manually defrosted the fridge until the parts arrived and replacement was easy because the wires, brackets and connector were identical to the original. the multimeter wasn't really necessary. Most of the time required was for defrosting.

Refrigerator door would not close completely.
I removed all the items off the shelves of the door. I then removed the top assembly,Then lifted the door off the the bottom hinge and laid it on a flat surface. I then removed and replaced the cam connector on the bottom of the door. I then removed and replaced the cam from the lower right side of the refrigerator. I put the door on the cam without assistance , then reassembled the top assembly. The refrigerator door operated immediately just like it did when it was new over 20 years ago.

Tray and drawer slides
This is the third time I have used parts select to fix an appliance. I have saved thousands now in replacement costs and certainly hundreds in repair costs. They had exactly what I needed and the online diagrams made it easy to identify the parts I needed and install them too.
