Lights flashing and ice door flapping(High voltage board) no cooling!

Unplugged fridge, took stainless steel panel off rear of fridge, with 1/4" socket!Removed plastic cover and unplugged 4 connectors! Pushed on 2 plastic release locks at left end of board! Be careful and do this slowly, so plastic will start to flex a little at a time! Pull board out and put on grounded wrist anti-static strap and ground to metal on fridge before handling new board! Put board in and connect the wiring, which is easy as they can only be plugged in where they were removed because of plug configurations! Put plastic cover back in place and replaced steel plate! Follow instructions that come with board to program the code that is on label inside fridge! Set code with doors open! And then your good to go!

Failed overload/relay start capacitor

Apparently, the manufacturer sometimes substitutes a part but keeps the same number, which is what happened here. The part wouldn't fit in the actual space on this model--even though the number was apparently correct! Refunding my money and assisting me to contact the manufacturer directly couldn't have been easier! Impressive customer service in a difficult situation.

crisper shelf shattered.

It took one minute to put the shelf in. The best part was the speed with which the part arrived. I also want to compliment the operator I dealt with. She was very helpful.

Crisper rail had a crack and the the center frame was broken.

Removed crisper drawers and the crisper frame. Then removed the glass shelf from the frame and also the plastic front piece and the metal rod that adds stability to the frame. Those last two items required a screw driver and pliers. Inserted the metal bar into the new frame, popped on the front piece, and installed frame in frig. Put in center rail, then glass top, and then put in crisper drawers.

Broken pantry end cap

The repair was straight-forward once the pantry drawer and lower shelves were emptied and removed - remove the mounting screws, replace the broken end cap with the new part. It took me several minutes to reattach everything. It took me longer to clean up all the old food spills under the pantry drawer.

changing the water/ice filter

Opened up the compartment where the old filter was located, twisted it to take it out (be careful not to spill water in the filter!), and installed the new one. Even a 64 year old woman had no trouble!
