refrigerator door wouldn't close and almost fell off the hinge when my wife opened it.
Called repair person, 80.00 to come look at it. Deceided to see if I could find part on my own. Surfed the net found this website, ordered the part for 5.00, total 13.00 including shipping. waited a few days, received part in mail, lifted refrigerator door off hinge, inserted the part. Works like new. 80.00 plus repair, cost me 13.00. Amazing

The drive blade was worn and wouldn't turn the drum
First off make sure you have a good quality Phillips screw driver. When the blade is worn out you can disassemble the ice maker with out removing the front. But to reassemble the front cover must be removed. Do yourself a favor and buy the drum and nut also. I am a mechanic by trade so the tools and repair was really easy. Be careful of the ice crusher BLADES they are very sharp. If your not mechanically inclined take pictures before disassembly, that will help you greatly. Hope this helps someone. Thanks Rory

Water leaking from dispenser
Used a nut driver to remove the small panal from the back of the refrigerator. Removed the two screws holding the valve in place. Unscrewed the water lines from the old valve and cut the ends off of them. Push the water lines back into the new valve. Unpluged the wiring from the old valve and installed them in the new valve. reinstalled the new valve and put the cover back on. Tested system for proper operation.

Door would not shut itself.
I looked up the model number here& found the parts list. They were very detailed, making identification of the proper part easy. I then watched the repair video which showed just how easy this repair was to complete. Once the part arrived, I removed the hinge cover screw, removed the two hinge bolts and lifted the door off the bottom hinge. It took the most amount of time to remove the broken hinge bearing. The new one popped right into place. I reversed the process and was quickly finished.

Stop crushing ice.
Crusher housing had broken so I ordered the part and replaced it. I have since put it back together twice. When I first installed it it crushed the ice no problem. From that point on it seems to lock up and won't crush the ice, cube ice works but the blades seems to hang up after the first use. I can turn the cog by hand but I have to turn it backwards a few times before it turns freely, however it still won't crush the ice. I took it apart and put it back together again. Same thing happened after the first time I tried it. Can you help me. The old crusher broke into. Could something else be locking up?Thanks for the help

Ice Maker Would Not Feed The Blaade Had Come Loose On The Shaft
Very simple, pulled out the old ice reservoir which contains the feed ice crusher & blade attatched to the shaft. Emptied the old ice tray instaalled thre new tray (after washing & drying) & put it place make sure the motor drive meshed with the new shaft drive. Lowered the ice detector arm & away it went. Probably took 10-15 minutes. I tried to fix the old one twice & spent maybe 3-4 hrs but the repairs never lasted very long.

Refrigerator Door Hinge Problem
I first ordered the part from a local appliance/repair store in my area. The part was way over priced and they had ordered the wrong part when I went to pick it up. I had provided a picture of the part I need to them / it didn't help. I searched the internet for the needed part and found PartSelect. I found the exact part "I thought I needed" and also saw an additional hinge part that fit in the bottom of the door. I purchased both (figured if one was worn out the other would be soon). Turned out that it was "the additional part" that I needed. I would recommend that you suggest both parts when doing this particular repair. I also liked the fact that you provided pictures of the parts in question . . . recognized it immediately from your site. The repair video provided on the PartSelect sight was very helpful. The repair was a breeze for an old woman. I was very happy with the person who took my order (she was very nice and very professional); and the speed in which I received the part. PartSelect is now saved in my favorites for future reference. I recommend them highly. Thanks for your help. Beverly Brunner

Hinge Bearing was worn
Watched the tutorial and I would say it took longer to clean the condiments from the door and take the shelves out than the repair. The easiest repair in my life.

water running over ice machine and into kitchen
Called a repair man. He said it was a a sensor type valve at the bottom back of fridge and he would have to order. He never called us, so we went to website and ordered it. Replaced it. It WAS obviously burned out/dicolored. Bracket had to be redone, as it wasn't standard. Didn't work. Ordered new icemaker. Worked like a charm. Video for installing icemaker very helpful. He called a couple weeks later and we already had it fixed.

Broken water actuator
It was easy I watched the video on how to replace it that Parts Select had on line. It was easy, it took me approximately 20 minutes to complete. Thanks for having the video, everything went very smoothe.

Ice Maker replacement
Went well overall. I really thought that you guys taking the time to create a very helpful video was awesome. Thanks for doing that! The only difficulty I had was that my old ice maker had the connection toward the front, while the new one was in the back. So I had to use the adapter and had so much extra wiring to bundle, and tie wrap, with little place to go with it that I got frustrated. Wish I just had the correct replacement wire to begin with. Nonetheless, we are stocked with a full bin of ice after about 3-4 days.

Water actuator broke
Firstly I watch the video from the web site as how to install the part, and it was a breeze from there. The video was just super!! It took any doubt away how to access the broke part, how to remove it and how to replace it. The arrived in two days and was installed the same day.
