could not use the meat drawer as it kept falling off
I removed the screws that were in the original part that had a broken plastic endpiece on it. Put the new hanging rail on with the screwdriver and good as new!. I also replace some clips that were worn out and kept coming off when I put too much in the freezer doors. They were snap on so it took less than a minute to replace all 4 that I ordered. Now my refriderator and freezer work like it new and doesn't keep falling apart.

Not freezing
All I had to do was change out motors, and the fam would spin right,and the freezer was alive again. With your older models you may have to re-mount the motor bracket in the back for the fan to clear,due to the fact that the motor sits alittle lower than the old model

Broken door handles on both frig and freezer in rental house.
simply backed out 2 screws on each of the handles, then by observing the key ways in the new handles, i realized all i had to do was push down on the old handles to release them. then it was a snap to slip the new handles in and secure them with the original screws. SO EASY!

The rail holding up the meat (deli)drawer broke.
The rail holding up the deli drawer has clips (not screws) which attach to the upper shelf. My husband accused my of overloading the bin because the drawer kept falling down. He thought by tightening the screws, the problem was solved..No! Instead, when he went home for a few days (this is a vacation home) the rail cracked. I went on line AND called to make sure the replacement part was correct. I spoke to the nicest most helpful and patient man, ordered the part, received it in three days,screwed the old clips into the new rail and attached the rail to the shelf in 5 minutes. I would have paid double the price (it was so reasonable) just not to hear him moan, carry-on, complain about the HARD WORK and time he has to waste on repairs. I had to show him the packaging and broken rail (with a larger , incorrect sized screw he used!) because he could not believe that I (andsolved this problem...Thank you! you)

Needed to replace missing glass shelf
We bought our house and the lower glass shelf in our refrigerator was missing. We lived without the shelf for almost two years figuring it would be a pain to look up the part and replace it on an older fridge. Finding the part and ordering it with PartSelect.com only took me all of 5 mins. If I had known it was going to be that easy.. I would have done it two years ago!

Freezer wall was frosted and ice cream was soft. Refrigerator was was not cooling food. Beers werent warm but they weren't cold or even chilled.
This is a top and bottom frige. I unplugged the fridge and I took off the sheld in the freezer and removed the blower fan cover and unplugged the fan to remove the back freezer panel. Be careful when moving the fan. It looks sensitive. I used a hair dryer to melt the frost to get to the screws. Because it was frosted the back panel was hard to take off. Don't force it too much, just keep melting the ice. Once it was off the radiator looking thing was completely frosted and iced over and I couldnt even see the thermostat. I started blowing it with the hair dryer and it started melting. It took an hour to get the ice melted enough to actually see and remove the thermostat. You may want to leave the fridge off for a day. I didnt have a choice because I didnt have anywhere else to place the food. I was using the freezer as the fridge. Thats how cool the freezer was. I cut the wires for the thermostat. Im sure you could check which is positive and which is negative. I just looked at the direction the wires went. This works but it is not guaranteed. Check for ground. Google it if you need to know how. I used the clamp connector things but I didnt have a clamper so I used a plier. It works but I didnt like how it clamped. The little tubing didnt work for me becuase I didnt have a solder gun to warm it up and using a match is not good. You'll burn the wire. Buy electric tape and wrap it around. Dont use regular tape. Go to home depot it costs 99 cents. Make sure all ice is melted. Go over everything with the hairdryer to melt the ice. You dont want it to start freezing and clog up the vents, expsecially the one that goes from the fan to the fridge. Before I put everything back together I changed the defrost timer because I figured its best to change it since you never know. I loosened the two screws but first I took offf the screw holding the timer panel. I changed the defrost timer and connected it back. Then I screwed everything together. Then I screwed in the back freezer panel but not the fan cover so I could see if the fan is working. I plugged in the fridge and the fan didnt work. If you look under the defrost timer panel, the timer has a round part that you can move with a flathead screwdriver. Move it lightly clockwise and the fan will start. I read that the fan goes for 8 hours and then it turns off for a half hour. Seems like a lot of time to be on but its been a week and the fridge and freezer are working real good. This website is good and the aprts are cheaper than Sears.
