about 30 minutes. no problem

Unscrewed the old filter and screwed in the new one

Thanks to a very patient husband. He looked at the situation and methodically took the freezer drawer apart by trial and error and was able to replace the old shaft with the one we had ordered. We do not understand why this basic information is not in the manual or on the internet. It was relatively easy once we knew in what order to take the drawer apart.

Drawer guides on the bottom of the crisper frame could not be glued back into place. The replacement frame arrived in 1 day. Be gentle removing crisper vent shutters, trim, and the metal reinforcement channel from the old frame! Re-install them on the new frame then hang the assembly in the fridge. Slide the drawers and glass back into place. I added a dab of clear silicone grease (bulb and socket lube)on each drawer slide.

removed bins and meat/cheese cover. Removed slider with two screws. Removed broken end cap with two screws. There is a plastic linkage to a vent in the rear. Removed three pieces from inside the end cap. These are are all snap-in parts, but require manipulation. Took some time to figure out. Same on reinstall. Cleaned up drawers and cover. Easy!

Piece of cake. Took out old filer and put in new one!

Opened filter area door turned old filter to the left to unscrew. Took out old filter then replaced the new filter and turned it to the right to tighten it, closed cover and that was it all done.

Replaced part--4 hexhead screws. This is my third time changing this part (right and left) and was happy to see that an obviously under-engineered design has been modified. The pin bracket has been reinforced and appears much stronger.The most time consuming portion of the fix was cleaning off the shelves for removal. Thanks for asking. Norm Notdurft

Removed the six screws holding the bottom access plate found at the rear of the refrigerator. This gives you easy access to the run capacitor that has a retaining clip. Remove the wire clip and pull out the capacitor (it has two quick disconnect terminals). Reverse the process using the new run capacitor to complete the repair.

I watched the on line you tube video on how to DIY. The putty knife worked to pop out the switch. I used the standar screwdriver to unplug the switch from the wire harness. Then plug in the new switch and pop it back in to the roof of the freezer. Tip: watch out when ordering the new switch - the freezer switch is different than the refrigerator switch. The freezer has three prongs. The fridge has two. I initially ordered the wrong part and added a week to the repair time and had to pay shipping to return the first switch.
