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.

Plastic Drawer Slide Rail was broken

I was a bit concerned that I might have selected the wrong part. There were several pictures of rails to choose from with slight variations on the website. Fortunately, it was a correct selection and arrived sooner than expected. The assembly was easy to remove from the refigerator. Two screws that held the slide in place were removed and the replacement was installed within minutes. I am very pleased that I chose to use PartSelect.

Freezer worked, frig not cooling

First, read through blogs which said it could be something frozen up. I unplugged and let it warm for a few days. Didn't work. No ice found. Then, assumed to be thermostat. Unplug frig. One screw removes cover, then another 2 screws to take out thermostat compartment. Unplug wires from harness and remove. Simply put in the new thermo (reverse from removal), and reassemble. Bingo, nice and cool within 12 hr. Rock solid 35F ever since. Pretty simple.
