The first step was to determine whether the problem was with the fan itself or the switch. I did this by opening the back cover and using a Volt meter to verify that the fan was not getting power. (I could have skipped this step.)
Next, I unplugged the range, closed up the back cover and lifted the range hood by removing two he

Propping the hood open, I removed the connector leading to the switch, then pushed the switch out the front. Inspection showed that the switch was damaged so I closed up the range and ordered the part from Part Select. Once the part arrived, it was a 15 minute job to unplug the range, lift the top, install the new switch, and close up the unit.
Caution. On starting to install the switch, I failed to unplug the range and my finger brushed one of the hot contacts leading to the switch. Thankfully, I was not injured. Do not repeat my mistake on this issue. Unplug the range even if you're only installing this simple switch.
Unplugged the Range and removed the two screws holding down the cook top. You do not need to remove the vent chamber at the rear of the range since the top lifts up about 4 inches. This should be enough room to get your hand onto the plug going to the door switch. Pull off the plug and remove the swich. Pop in the new one, put on the

Read the thread on "burnt smell" and DO NOT assume it is a burned out element. Follow your nose!!
Fridge stopped cooling. Opened back and could see fan running for coils but no sound from compressor. Other posts indicated this can be caused by bad capacitor compressor. Put fridge in Maint mode using front buttons inside on top. You can find maint mode instructions on internet. Used command to activate fans and compressor for 20 mins
... Read morebut still no compressor response. Ordered new Capacitor Compressor. It is hard to disconnect the old one, you have to open a plastic enclosure where all of the wires are connected into (not logic board, just some kind of master connection thing next to compressor). Brain surgery on that to get the red wire to unplug. Ended up breaking some plastic enclosure latches but don’t worry you can still put it back together. Ones red and blue wires are disconnected you can unscrew the old one and replace with new one. Suggest you take a few photos of how all the wires are connected so you don’t forget when putting back together. It fixed the issue and now old fridge is cooling like a champ.
