Protective cover for bulb had melted
I tried to just replace the cover rather than the whole unit but it was impossible - the cover would not go/stay on. I tried to remove the old unit completely but it would not unplug it was practically fused to the back of the fridge and the liner was cracking. I ended up breaking the cover and jerry rigging it over the bulb to prevent items in the fridge from being able to touch. Bad solution.

The handle end cap was broken.
The most difficult problem was determining what part I needed.Once I was able to find the parts description, selecting the part was easy. Ordering the part was a simple matter of following the instructions. Imagine my surprise when I received the parts on the very next day!! The installation of the new parts was very easy. Thank you for keeping me from buying a new refrigerator.

Light switch in the refrigerator was faulty from the first day we installed the fridge.
I had ordered some other parts for something entirely different off your website and service was great. So after almost ten years of a dark refrigerator, because of a defective switch, I decided to see if you had the part to fix it... You did and the part got here in 3 days. I had a working light switch and all the light in the world where my husband needed it most (in the fridge). It took me at the most ten minutes to replace the part. All is well now and I have a happy husband who can find the leftovers just fine. Thanks for your great service!

Water fill tube was broke at the 90° in back of the frige
Water was already off. All I had to do was pull the fridge away from the wall, remove two screws that hold the fill tube onto the back of the frige, then remove the fill tube. Install the new fill tube, reinstall the two screws. Had to cut the water line straight and clean, slip on the new Compression nut and farrell and insert into the new fill tube, tighten-up, good-to-go.

The top & botton brackets attaching the food door handle broke off.
A TORX screw driver was needed (not a Phillips screw driver). The replacement of the broken door handle brackets took only 5 minutes. I was disapointed the the new replacement brackets were injection molded plastic rather than the cast metal brackets originally on the refrigerator.

Light switch which turns on the lights when the door opens went out
This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.

plastic end cap broke from handle on ref rig door
Chromed plastic parts arrived quickly from PART SELECT. I unscrewed broken part from the refrigerator door. I inserted existing handle into the new end cap parts with a screw driver and easily attached handle and new chromed parts. I then replaced the freezer door handle end caps and my refrigerator looks better than new.
