One blade broke from condenser fan
The part i recieved, from parts select was a larger in circumfrence (<1/4) than the original. However i was not aware of this until after i treid to repair it.
I removed the broken fan from the condenser. This was very sipmle.
When i pluged the refridgerator back in to the outlet the fan tried to start up but soon began to make aloud noise, due to there not being enough clerance.

Fridge started making a loud racket. Condenser Fan Blade then disintegrated to dust and pieces. The plastic had degraded significantly.
The repair itself total time was quick and easy. Since the original fan blade blew apart, it was only a matter of putting the new one on in it's place. This can be done by feeding the blade between the cowling and Condenser coil and applying pressure to get it on the shaft.
If your fan is still on the shaft, simply push it off and extract it the same way. Then place the new one on the shaft.
In my case, since the part would take a couple days to get, and I had food both in the fridge and the freezer, I removed and unplugged the Condenser Fan Motor and the cowling frame and temporarily spliced a small fan I had into the line for the condenser motor. This kept the fridge working long enough to get the replacement part.
Side note. Direction of airflow is towards the Compressor, and draws air across the Condenser coils.
Hope this helps someone. :)

Crisper glass shelf installed
Just like the video , just pull out the crisper drawers and slide the new one in. I also made sue that I had a quilt on the floor in case I dropped the glass shelf. Also if you are not sure of the model number you can try calling the store where you bought the appliance at which I had to do. I bought it at Conns and they just needed the phone number I used when I bought it.

Freezer shelf fell off door due to broken brackets
The part arrived on time. I unwrapped it and matched the brackets with the places on the door that fit. I gave it a tap and it was in place. I applied light pressure to make sure it wasn't going to fall out, then filled the bin as before. I was very pleased that the part I ordered was actually the correct piece and fit perfectly.

You have sent the wrong part for the THIRD time. You have sent aaccess cover that is TWO INCHES too short. It does not cover the opening, and you will not answer your phones.
There is no way to complete the repair with the wrong part, You have had my order since June 22nd, 2020 and the incorrect part arrived October 27th, 2020. You charged $7.79 plus $1.06 tax and $9.95 shipping. Please refund the entire amount including the shipping, since I did not ask you to ship the incorrect amount.

Door switch was no longer making my light go on when door opened
I used the youtube you provided. It was pretty straight forward, but I had to make a trip to the hardware store for a bit (hex wrench) to remove the hex bolt head style screws. I was only expecting to need phillips or flathead. I managed to remove one with a set of pliers, and the brought that example to the store for size reference when buying the bit to fit my black and decker drill. The rest was easy.

Seal kept pulling causing sweating on freezer door which caused water to be on floor
On this model I just pulled out old seal by hand. Made sure everything was clean. Then literally grabbed new seal lined up to freezer door, started at one corner and pushed seal in place. It went right in flawlessly. Perfect fit. Literally took less than 5 mins.

Refrigerator light stopped working
The bulb wasn't the issue so I was hopeful the switch was. utube helped me some, but figuring my model was different than any on utube. Got the switch in and plugged it back in. Moment of truth. Didn't light. Ugggh! Out $50 for switch plus $20 for nut driver set.

A set scew was ordered twice.
The first order arrived in a huge box and there was no scew to be found, the box had wholes in it. I was given a refund and told to order again.
The repair did not happen and the set screw which was actually recieved the second time was returned because it was the wrong size.
