The glass shelf was broken when I was cleaning the refrigerator. The crisper had broken with daily wear and tear.I was tired of seeing a crisper with duct tape and a shelf replaced by cardboard. I looked online and found the most reasonble prices at this site. My order came extremely quickly! It was so simple to replace the needed areas, including a new water filter. I would recommend this site to anyone!!

Stripper arm broke

I had to disassemble the unit. After it was out I unpluged the wires and removed the broken ends of the stripper. Most of my time was spent figuring out how everything worked. I installed the new arm and slipped the unit back in place. It works perfectly. I could do it in under 30 minutes now. The cost savings is well worth the effort.

Lower hinge on door, watrer filter and ice/water tray

The notches that create the closing power on the lower hinge was worn out. A few bolts at the top of the door and it was off. One nut to hold the plastic hinge and it was on. Door works perfectly now. Water filter was a breeze and the tray where the ice and water dispenser is was even easier. Parts came incredibly fast and after an order for $75 total and my repairs were done.

CustomerJohn from Frisco TX

Ice maker not working

Easy plug and play repair for anyone. Sourced the part and watched the video instruction on the website. The video was spot on, the old part was removed and replaced with the new part. The video explained in detail the step by step instructions plus added what tools were required. Very simple fix and the part arrived a day early! Very satisified with the service and easy repair instructions. With a 1 being the easiest and 10 being difficult this would have a rating of 2.

Fridge door wouldn't stay closed

Removed the door with Socket set & removed the lower door closing cam, replaced it with the new one and reattached the door. Biggest part of the problem was diagnosing the part needed. I replaced the filter while I was at it.

CustomerRon from Bremerton WA

Ice maker wouldn't work.

First I removed the ice tray door by lifting and then releasing the hinge. Then I used a nutdriver and socket to remove three recessed screws that are located under the icemaker. I also removed the screw on the underside which holds a plastic flange in place covering the wiring harness. Remove the plastic flange and slide the icemaker out as far as possible, then disconnect the wiring harness from the icemaker. Slide the old unit out and discard. Reverse the procedure to install the new unit. Points of frustration: Disconnecting the wiring harness--it is in there mighty tight! Also, when sliding the new unit into place, clearing the rubber water spout without breaking something is somewahat of a challenge. The unit comes out
easier than it goes back in!

Fins on auger drum had broken off, water filter needed replacing

Water filter screws out and in, no problem there. The ice maker auger was a little detailed, but I removed all screws and took apart the main components. The auger assembly was reverse threaded, and the blades, etc., all came off in order. Then the old auger drum was removed, new one put on, and the auger assembly reassembled. Then screwed all components back together, put it back in the freezer, and it worked like a charm!
