Refrigerator Door Shelf Bars were broken
These were easy pop in pieces so no tools were needed. Very easy and quick. What I liked best about PartSelect.com was the pictures and labeling used in order to select the correct part. That was my biggest concern. It only took me about 15 minutes to find and buy the parts I needed.

End caps were broken/missing on refrigerator
I installed new end caps brackets with bars by putting them in place. Now the refrigerator looks new again. These parts were installed in the door, which was broken/missing. This prevented a person from being able to store anything in the refrigerstor door until it was fixed.

the compressor capacitor overheated
it was great. I ordered the capacitor for my frigidaire frig and it arrived
in 3 days. plugged in the part to the compressor and my frig has been
working ever since. I spent 3 minutes ordering the part and 30 seconds
attaching it to the frig. Easy, very easy. saved myself a 75 dollar repair
visit. thanks

Fridge too warm. Top Freezer cold.
I hesitate to say anything since I did exactly what their video told me to do, and it fixed the problem. Couldn't be happier. Was positive I was looking at 1000$ for a new fridge. Love being able to fix it by installing 15$ part myself. Thanks guys.

bottle fell and clipped edge of range
Touch up paint was easy to apply. I gave it a few coats and you cannot tell where to chip was. I wish you had a standard mail delivery option. I paid twice the price of the paint for fed ex delivery. I didn, t need the paint next day but it did get here before the estimated deliverydatee.

Fridge not cold enough
The freezer was still making ice, but the fridge portion was barely cooler than room temp. I came to the website and saw that the defrost thermostat cured this problem over half the time. I was quite dubious because I don't see how that would affect the non-freezer part of the compartment, but since it was a cheap and easy-looking repair, I figured what the heck, lets see if that's it. Sure enough, it's like new again. I still don't understand it, but I'll take it. The repair itself is simple, just cutting out the old switch and splicing in the new. Two wires, and clip it to the copper tubing where the old one was. The switch is accessed easily after taking out four screws in the back of the freezer compartment. The only hard part was removing the ice-maker, and that's just because the two screws that hold it in are a little hard to get a good grip on. Alas, you have to get the ice-maker out to pull out the back panel, so there's nothing for it but to wheedle those screws out.

Freezer working but fridge not cold.
My unit was not defrosting. Defrost heater was not functioning. Defrost heater tested good with a meter. Thermostat (cold) tested bad with a meter. Defrost timer was working properly. I replaced the thermostat but I had to buy red crimp connectors because the blue ones that came with the thermostat are designed for wire bigger than 18 AWG wire. The thermostat leads as well as the wire in my unit were 18 AWG. The crimp was not tight enough for my liking with the blue butt connectors. I also purchased smaller heat shrink tubing. After replacement, the defrost heater started working. I could see it glowing. Unfortunately immediately after getting the heater working the contacts in the defrost timer arced and stuck together thus preventing the timer from exiting defrost mode. The heater went off at this point indicating that the thermostat was now working. I then purchased and replaced the defrost timer and now the fridge is functioning properly. I noticed both replacement parts, even though I looked up my fridge model, were different part numbers than the originals. I'm guessing the new parts are improved? I also noticed the timer was an 8/30 rather than a 10/30 like the original. The fridge is working better than when it was new so evidently defrosting every 8 as opposed to every 10 hours is better for my unit.

Long story short:

Buy the correct crimp/butt connectors before beginning replacement of the thermostat and proactively replace the defrost timer since it is rather inexpensive.

missing and broken endcap pieces
Nothing really - all pieces fit exactly as they should and fit the appliance(s) as we were told they would. GREAT customer service, I was not sure what I needed (part # wise) and brief consult with their representative got me what I needed quickly. They have ABSOLUTELY the FASTEST DELIVERY system in the world. I ordered mid afternoon got it the following day, no extra charge. Awesome! Definitely shop with them again - no questions.

The freezer door shelf retainer had snapped and broke at the plastic ends.
I ordered the plastic end pieces and the metal strap they connect to as outlined by the PartSelect website.... The metal strap they sent was too long and I couldn't cut it to fit. I did realize, however that there was nothing wrong with that part so I attached the end pieces to the old middle piece and it worked out just fine. I now have an extra part that I didn't need after all though.

Our refrigerator was not cooling below 50 degrees but the freezer had no problems. Turns out that the evaporator fan motor was dead.
I followed the instructions in the video associated with the part that I ordered. The video was perfect and described everything I needed to do clearly. Repair is 100% successful!
