Installation Video Incorrect
The installation video notes that the door mullion spring has a bent end, and that the bent end of the spring is to be inserted into the LOWER hinge. However, on my refrigerator door, the bent end of the door mullion spring must be inserted into the UPPER hinge in order for the door to function properly. (Also noted that in your video the installer manually closed the door mullion rather than just closing the refrigerator door, another indication that the installation of the spring was incorrect.) After watching the video several times to confirm I was installing the door mullion spring according to the video instructions, I tried inserting the bent end of the door mullion spring into the upper hinge, which proved to be the correct installation of the door mull spring. What should have been a 5 minute repair turned into an ½ hour repair.

The French swing part of the door would not go back where it needed to. I had to put it back in place with my hand.
I just replaced the broken spring and the little plastic cylinder that goes over the end of one part of the spring. I placed the plastic part on first and slid it in place, then had to bed the other end of the spring a little bit to place it in the hole. But once it went in, the door worked perfectly. And I'm a 70 yr old woman. So if I can do it, anyone can.

Ice build up blocked the fan and caused the motor to fail.
Unplugged the frig. Removed the food and let the ice build up thaw. Remove the shelves. Remove the 4 screws in the back panel and shelf rack bar. Gently start to pull the back panel toward you working to out a little at a time. There are 2 wire connections in the upper right corner. When disconnected and removed lay the panel face down and remove the 4 screws holding the metal fan panel in place. Two screws mount the fan to the fan bracket. When removed, twist fan 90 degrees and it will be free. A spring clip holds the fan blades on the motor. Use a pair of needle hose pillars to pull the spring clip off. Pull the fan blade off the motor. Reverse the process for reinstallation.

The door flap on the french door would not reset itself to go into the upper track it would just flop around freely and jam the door from being closed.
Just opened the french door took the new plactic sleeve placed it on the upper end of the spring and then inserted into the upper hole first then with a little pressure turned the bottom end of the spring and placed it into the lower hole.

spring in door mullion had broken
There is a pretty good video about this on youtube, but complications arose nonetheless. The replacement spring supplied by Partselect is a bit different from the original in two ways. First, it is made of heavier-gauge wire; this is a good thing for durability, but it makes installation tougher. Second, the ends of the spring, which are bent at right angles to the spring axis in order to fit into the plastic sleeves that hold the spring ends, are far too long. Once I figured this out, i snipped the ends down by a quarter inch or so, and they fit into the sleeves just fine after a certain amount of persuasion from needle-nose pliers. All things considered, it was a bit harder than it should have been, but the door works now, so all is well.

Door Mullion Spring broke
Went to You Tube and saw video on how to replace broken mullion spring. Ordered part online (more than one in case one broke -very cheap <$3.00 per part). Watched video twice and was able to follow instructions and insert spring correctly. Not difficult if you pay attention to details on how the spring must fit and which end goes where. The door works perfectly!

Corner of shelf cracked
Watched repair video from this site cleaned off shelf, removed the two bins, lifted it out broken shelf, placed new shelf back in, returned the two bins. One step that would have helped a little would have been to remove the bottom door pockets. This would allow the bins to come out easier.

Door on our GE Profile refrigerator failed to close properly - upper hinge replacement
If this repair looks hard then you probably aren't doing it right. The key to doing this fairly easy upper hinge replacement is to pry the metal back off of the swinging panel attached to the door as a first step. Doing so exposes the screws that hold the hinges in the panel, and also the tabs that you must press in to release and remove the hinge covers. I accidentally broke the tabs on both hinge covers removing them, but I discovered that it didn't matter - I was still able to snap them both into place without having to replace them as well. Once you've released the hinge covers slide the panel upwards to reveal the entirety of the hinge, then push the hinge up with a flathead screwdriver so that it slides off of the anchor piece on the door. Slide the replacement part down onto the anchor, slide the swinging panel down and replace the hinge covers. From inside the panel reattach the screws (middle hinge only) and replace the panel parts including the metal back. Whole repair takes about 15 minutes.

Condenser fan not turning
In order to remove the condenser fan motor I needed to remove the fan blade. The blade is attached to the shaft with a press fit and there is a spring clamp that squeezes the blade to the shaft. Removing the spring clamp did not allow the fan to slide off the shaft because there must be some type of adhesive used in addition to the clamp. In forcing the blade off the shaft expect to damage the fan blade so that is why it was replaced. Very tight working area and difficult to get the leverage to pull on the blade.
The new blade will push on with a bit of force.
