Condensor Fan going bad
I knew the repair wasn't difficult. It was a matter of finding the replacement part. Luckily, I found the part via the internet on your site. Lucky for me, there was an installation video!! These videos are worth 1000 bucks!! Never have encountered a site with installation videos before. It gave me complete insight as to how the job was sequenced. I'm a very visual person, so videos are the perfect helper for me. With fewer and fewer affordable local service companies around to fix problems like mine, your site gave me the complete confidence to easily switch out the condensor fan. I completed the repair for about $63.00. Your site ROCKS! Keep up the repair videos because they are awesome and extremely helpful. I felt like your pricing was competitive for this item. Thanks again!!

Broke the arm off the food compartment rocker switch
After receiving the new part almost immediately,using two screw drivers, removed the broken switch from the plastic frame. Be careful not to scratch or otherwise tear the plastic...very pliable. Since the original switch was factory installed and the wires were packed in fiberglass insulation, the switch came out but the wires and clips were still in place and could not reach the new switch. It was necessary to pull them down with bent long nose pliers...used a lot of "pull" but the wires held up.Connected the switch, turned the power on and there was light! Reports from other users really took the uncertainty out of the task.

Freezer was not getting cold enough
Mine was alittle different than the online instructions. 1. I removed the motor. 2. I took the fan off the old motor and cut the wires about 3" back from old motor. 3. Mounted the new fan on bracket and put the fan on the new motor. 4.connected wires that were cut and used wire nuts to connect. 5. Mounted bracket and motor/fan to unit and it works like its brand new. Thank you PartSelect!

The ice maker was leaking water into the freezer.
I watched the video to get up the courage to try the repair myself. I figured out the refrigerator model umber and ordered the parts on line from Parts Select. Parts showed up in a few days. Pretty easy so far. Under close scrutiny of the wife, I unplugged the refrigerator. I used a nut driver on my cordless screw gun to remove the back cover and valve. I removed the plastic water lines and electrical connectors from the old valve and attached them to the new part. Everything matched perfectly. I replaced the valve and back cover. I pluged the refrigerator back in. It might have taken 20 minutes total. The wife has her icemaker back online and I'm a hero! Thanks Parts Select!

Freezer was not Defrosting
I have an Amana freeze and I followed the procedure in the video. Which is very good! However on the Amana Model there two slight differences in the procedure that I felt I needed to do. The first one is, the condenser fan bracket is attached to the Freezer chassis with 4 screws, not three. The removal and installation of the back screw by the fan is a bear. I removed the other three and it allowed me to rotate the fan slightly to get more access to the fourth and did same on installation by just starting the 4th screw and then tightening it later. The second issue was my new fan hit the housing when I spun the fan. When I looked at the old one. It had a phenolic washer, between the fan and motor which spaces the fan out about a washer thickness from the motor. When I tried to remove the old one it broke in four pieces due to age. So, I made my own with a washer that I super glued to the motor housing after carefully centering it on and clearing the motor shaft . Seemed to work with out any more noise or balance issues...Thanks, your delivery was blindly fast and video was great!

Ice Maker not getting water
Replaced the intake water valve on the back side of the ref. The dual-valve water valve kit instructions were very good and the new replacement valve fixed the problem and the ice maker is working once again. The extra parts received were not needed as all the existing water lines connected without a problem to the new valve. It took a few hours for the Ref. and the ice maker to recycle and start to work properly. Pleasantly surprised that the parts were available for a 27 yr.old fridge.
