Emptied glass shelf, removed , removed old rail. Put new rail in with original screws ,then glass shelf. Done

I followed the many post on replacing this part and everything went well. I had a little trouble getting the hinge post into the new hinge assembly, but with a slight adjustment it fell into place. I checked to see what tools I would need to do the job and had them ready before I even started. I removed the door and had it back on in maybe 10 minutes and I am not exactly Mr. Fix It. The only advice I can add to what everyone else has said is you should look the job over a little before you take the door off and have your tools ready. Then you won't have the door off for too long. I'd like to thank this site and everyone who gave advice on how to fix this problem. It made the whole job very easy.

Removed old part & screwed in new rail.
I would like to mention that the speed in which my order was sent was fantastic & your website was really easy to use. Which not being a very savvy computer person is a real compliment!! A pleasure doing business with you. I would highly recommend your company.

Removed top hinge assembly to pull door away from bottom hinge (2x hex bolts) Discovered that the pin on the bottom assembly had broken off. Removed and replaced bottom hinge assembly (2x hex bolts). Aligned door with top and bottom hinge pins. Tightened all hex bolts. Done

It was really easy for me....my son told me what part I needed. I ordered it, and he installed it!

blocked up refrigerator door.removed old hinge, and put new one on,with socket set.

I removed all the items off the shelves of the door. I then removed the top assembly,Then lifted the door off the the bottom hinge and laid it on a flat surface. I then removed and replaced the cam connector on the bottom of the door. I then removed and replaced the cam from the lower right side of the refrigerator. I put the door on the cam without assistance , then reassembled the top assembly. The refrigerator door operated immediately just like it did when it was new over 20 years ago.

Several months ago I had to replace the hinge and cam on the refrigerator door and the repair went smoothly as pictured in the video. This time I had to replace the cam on the freezer door so I ordered the hinge assembly, which included the cam. The web site confirmed that, according to the model number of my 27 year old refrigerator, the hinge assembly would fit. The problem I had was that the top hole in the hinge was positioned too high to fit the hole in the refrigerator so I had to put the old hinge back on, even though it showed some wear. The door closes smoothly by itself now.

I just followed the video instruction supplied by PartSelect and the whole thing was a breeze.

Removed freezer door, put a blanket over the opening to keep food frozen. Installed hinge and replaced door.

This is a side by side freezer/refrigerator, nearly 30 years old. The repair was very quick and easy. 1. Remove two screws from top bracket. There is no cover for the top hinge on this older model. (2) Lift off door and set on kitchen table. (3) Remove two screws holding bottom door hinge. (4) remove two screws hold the cam and shims on the bottom of the door. (5) replace the broken cam on the door, and the bottom hinge assembly. (6) Replace the door on the bottom hinge. (7) Re-attach the top hinge screws, making sure the door is parallel to the freezer door. It took about 10 minutes to do all of the above. Best yet, I ordered the kit about 10am on a Monday, and the parts arrived, normal delivery, before noon the next day.PS- I used petroleum jelly to grease the hinge before replacing the door. The only tool I needed was a nutdriver.

like the video showed!

ordered new parts , came in 2 days and just made the repairs today and took only about 15 min total time all the parts fit right on and the only problem was holding the door and stting it on the lower rod, But my wife helped on the lower end. all in all it went great. Great servic and great parts. Bert Hoffman 79 years old

I removed the lower cover plate and placed a small scissor jack (used my car jack) under the refrigerator door, loosened the upper hinge, slightly raised jack to take the weight off of the lower hinge, removed the hinge with a 5/16 nut driver and the cam with a 5/16 socket. Installed new hinge and cam, removed door support and secured top hinge, check operation. Worked GREAT, did not have to remove door.

removed the old piece that had only one screw left, wipe area clean, put new part in with previous screws in less than 2 minutes.
