The ends broke from the rails.
I unscrewed the old rails and took the number to order on the first day. The order came on the 3rd day. Can you imagine such fast service.
My daughter is a single mom with 4 children, one of whom was responsible for the breakage. I am the grandmother and was very grateful for the fast service and great price. The drawer was installed in 10 minutes. I just screwed the old screw into the new part and replaced the drawer. Thanks

Freezer Freezing up and blocking the vent for refrigerator, not cooling the fridge.
Went pretty straight forward, except the heat shrink tubing was about 2 sizes too big. Would not shrink small enough to seal the connections. Even with a heat gun it would not shrink small enough. OH, another think is when I plugged the fridge back in the defrost timer was in defrost mode. Took me a few minutes to figure that out and use a screwdriver to turn the timer back to the on position. Other than that, install was pretty simple.

Coming from the refrigerator, there was an intermittent "clicking noise", occurring about every 30 seconds. The frig. eventually failed .
I removed the back cover and removed the clip holding the compressor- run capacitor and start relay. I replaced these 2 components and clean the dust from the frig., and from the bottom of the floor. I replaced the back cover ; Loss about $300 worth of meat when when the frig. failed. Then I thought that, during these turbulent times, there are many which don't have a refrigerator or any meat to place in it, The refrigerator is "running" normal again.

Fridge falling apart
Parts arrived, my son brought the box into the home we first had to take all the food and stuff out of the fridge washed her down made the inside and outside look brand new. (1st) piece replace was the Door Gasket, I couldn't find a flat head screw driver so I used a butter knife and popped out the old Door Gasket cleaned away any gook and grim (Use a mister Clean Magic Eraser) They do a fantastic job. and also they get into those deep hard to reach areas. pop the new one in and that was that. New Door Gasket went right in. The (2nd) Door Retainer bars. they pop off really easy you can hit them with the bottom of you hand and they com right off, got one correct. had to switch the other two around as the door didn't close at first than door closed without a problem in fact it came with an extra (Door Retainer Bar) one so thanks the fridge has an extra should one break. (3rd) the crisper and fresh baskets. scrubs the heck out of the shelf and the glass. those look brand new. and then when dry put everything in added the baskets to were they go fridge looks brand new and we have gotten a whole new skill set. this was a very easy project to do and it was a lot of fun. I hope your will go as smoothly.
