The refrigerator light would not work ...even after replacing the bulb.

I used a flat head screwdriver to pry open the front of the socket as I pushed the socket toward the freezer side. I unplugged the two wires connected to the socket then re-connected the two wires to the new socket and popped the new socket back in. I then put a new light bulb in and we had light again in the fridge.

Freezer cold, ref warm.

Removed back panel in freezer and found heater burned into. Found this site on google, looked up part and ordered. Removed old heater and snapped in new one being careful to get it in the fin groves and securing with the same clip straps that that held the old heater in place. Replaced rear panel and plugged in ref. Woks like new! Very pleased with results.

No freezing or cold in either freezer or refridgerator - compressor did not run.

Traced issue to defrost timer ( burned compressor & element contacts). This unit is mounted next to the temperature adjustment control in the refridgerator area - right in front. Removal of plastic cover provided easy access to the timer. Unit unscrews from the mounting then unplugs. Installation is reverse of removal.

Defroster didn't work

Ordered a new defroster timer and replace old one. It works just fine. A $35 repair vs a $500 new appliance.
Cool.

Meat drawer needed new tracks

Had to replace both sides tracks; the plastic is thin and gets alot of use. Had these done in minutes, one screw out on each side allows the tracks to be removed.
Best part of the repair is the new clean shelves and drawers. How can you do this repair without cleaning everything?
Nice quick service from PartSelect, and the right parts!

Bottom shelf on the refrigerator door cracked.

Lifted old shelf out and snapped new shelf in. Took less than one minute to install. Identifying and ordering the correct part online was extremely easy due to the excellent presentation of the refrigerator and its parts. Ordered online one day and received the part the next day!
