  • Suzanne from STERLING HTS, MI
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Nutdriver
I first replaced the switch and had no results, I then ordered the Light Socket Kit, and because I had the experience of removing the panel to replace the switch, it took a few minutes to remove the two screws behind the panel, removing the temperature control knobs and then releasing the face plate which is secured by tabs at the bottom. The kit came with extra connectors in case they were needed, but they were not in my case and so I pulled off the wires, pushed the old socket out and the new one in. Attaching the wires to the correct pins, I screwed in the light bulb to be sure that the fix was correct and determining that, I replaced the screws that held the panel in place. Voila, I'm a happy camper who found some outdated jars in the back corners of the newly lighted shelves.

I was prepared for the part not to fit because it's a 23-year-old fridge, but it fit perfectly, no issues whatsoever. I plan to buy a crisper drawer as well. Glad I found this vendor.

freezing everything
3 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Darcie from VINELAND, NJ
  • Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
Removed old gasket. Wiped everything down. Popped in new gasket.
It was a little tedious, but it went in easy enough. Some reviews said the new gasket was kinked and bent. Mine I am happy to say was smooth. Some things are still getting quite cold like vegetables and ginger ale.(almost freezing). But it is way better than it was. Sa ved us from having to purchase another refrigerator. The fellow who helped me made it easy to order and everything went smoothly. I appreciate the help and patience you provided.

3 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • George from POWELL, OH
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver
Don not completely remove holding icemaker screws. Unit slips over screws and drops down into place and the use nutdriver to tighten in place. Rest of unit was sound and wasn’t replaced.
After icemaker is installed wait for a while and unit self activated and creates ice cubes.

lights wouldn't come on/work in refrigerator

  • Jane from Albuquerque, NM
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers, Socket set
Referencing the info/schematics you have on your website, I unscrewed/unattached top-front panel (carefully), from behind the panel you have to detach the wires (2) from the switch, pushed "in" the switch to remove, put in new switch and attach wires to test BEFORE remounting panel. Tada!! Thank you PartSelect! You saved me at least $80.. .would have been at least $100 to have a repair person come to the house!

Crisper Glass Shelf
5 of 9 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Andrea J from Davenport, FL
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
Took the glass shelf out of the fridge in our rental home to clean and it just shattered in our hands. Did a search online and found part select, phoned to make sure I was looking at the correct part, the lady on the phone was very helpful. I ordered the shelf using the next day service as we were returning home to the UK within 3 days so did not want to take the chance of not receiving it before we left. I got the notification the part had been dispatched, the part was delivered early next morning. Took the shelf out the package and placed in the tray, job done!. Great service will definately use again, have book marked the site.

I first read the instruction manual then I watched the installation video. My water line to it was 3/8. Went to the local ACE Hardware to purchase a short peace of 1/4 copper tubing and the fittings to connect them together. It makes ice every 55 minutes.
