When we got the part, we read the instructions, which were easy and very clear step by step. Taking the old part off took most of the time, it was attached a little differently than was described in the video and the instructions for the part. Once we detached that, the replacement part went in very easily and quickly. It took a short w

hile for the cycle to start, we were actually a little worried that it wasn't going to work. Then it started cycling. After the first day the freezer had started icing up, we took a blow dryer and melted it and waited. It hasn't started freezing up again. The refrigerator is keeping the proper temperature and the freezer is also working properly, it's been a week. We seem to be obsessed with going out and checking to see if it's working but I think it's a success. Doing this ourselves only cost $26.00. A huge savings if we had hired someone else to repair it for us. We will definitely choose this option with any other appliance that needs repair. It was easy and simple to find the correct part thanks to the website. And the video tutorial was very informative and helpful.

Socket set, Wrench (Adjustable)
I tipped the refrigerator back and my friend used an adjustable wrench to attach put the new wheel assembies on. I also used a socket wrench to get the old attacheement bolts to thread. I rolled the cleaned appliance in place and adjusted the wheels with the socket set for easy door closing. It went smoothly.

The instruction sheet supplied with the new motor described the steps to take very good. Replaced the rubber grommets for the three motor mounts also. A flashlight or light source was needed or was very helpful.

I unscrewed the fill tube screws from the back of the fridge, and pulled the tube out.
Then I put the new tube in, screwed the screws back in and reconnected the waterline.

Pulled out the stud with a wire cutter and replaced it with the exact part you shipped in the kit.
The other 2 parts just slipped on the brackets
Nice thing is now I have extra parts for the other shelf.

This website saved my marriage. For the past two years, every time we would open the fridge everything in the door shelves would fall all over the floor. This was not only embarassing when we would have family and friends over but I really got tired of my wife yelling every time she would open up the fridge. I tried every type of glue

and repairs to try and fix it, finally gave up and thought the only way I would find peace at home was to purchase a new fridge. I accidently stumbled across your website and before I knew it and about $6 later my life improved more than you can imagine. The best part was how easy it was to find the part I needed with the detailed pictures you have. The part was shipped fast and very easy to install. I will definately use partselect again. Thanks!

The door gasket was very hot which is caused by an overheated expansion line that runs along the area of the door gasket. This was caused by a failed cooling fan motor.

Pulled out the refrigerator and removed the two panels from the rear of the refrigerator. Removed the fan held in by four screws and unplugged the connector. Soldered on the original connector, installed the fan to the motor and re-installed the unit into the refrigerator. Then blew out and vaccumed the condenser coils.
