Drawer slide wss knocked off when door hit the drqwer.
Tool glass shelf out and attached the drawer slide with the two original star screws. Did not bother with the left side. I ordered both drawer slides even though only one side was broken. I had tried some epoxy first but it didn't want to stick to drawer slide plastic.

Refrigerator and freezer too warm
1) This is a built-in refrigerator with the compressor, coils, etc. at the top. Turn off the breaker to the fridge. 2) Remove the front panel off the top (just push up and pull out). 3) Removed 2 screws to the old timer and carefully remove the plug. Plug the new timer in and screw in. 4) Since our fridge was heavily frosted up, we moved everything to another refrigerator and coolers and kept the refrigerator off until all panels were room temperature. 5) If you haven't cleaned the coil in a while, vacuum it with a soft brush attachment. 6) Turned back on and the refrigerator is cooler than ever!
