Door dragging causing it not to seal complete
First I removed the three screws in the top hinge that hold the upper right corner of the door to the body of the unit. Then I just lifted the door off of the refrigerator. I proped the door up just long enough to pull out the old pin (plastic) and put the new one in place. Next I picked up the door and set it on the new hinge, and last I put the three screws back into place. It has taken me about as long to type this out as it did to actually make the repair. The part was also very reasonably priced so I purchased two since this items has been replaced previously.

Pulled broken plastic end stop from door. Basket fits right into the two side holes and pulls down to lock. Relatively easy fix and replacing basket stop.
Frig side door swings open all the way, making a wierd sound.
Thought that it might have to do with the 'natural door closer' when I looked at the diagram. So I ordered it. When it arrived, I took the door off and replaced it. I should have ordered the lower hinge pin too. Seems that if one is worn out and the other is only slightly worn, it will cause the new part to start to wear down too. Good thing these parts are fairly cheap. The way my kids are in and out of the frig, it'll be time for new ones in a couple of months. The lower hinge cover just snaped on less then 30 sec. So easy.
Repair was tremendously easy. All I did was remove old light switch by prying out with screw driver and plugging in the new light switch and pushing it into the hole. Simple! The instructions weren't needed, but they were very thorough.
There was three screws to remove to unmout the ice maker, and unplug the wire harness,then two to remove to slip in new stripper. All took about 20 mins.
Make sure power is off- throw circuit breaker and check with tick tracer. remove spill tray by sliding it out. unscrew two torx at bottom of outer frame flip the frame up to get acces to disconnect wire harnes. unscrew 3 screws on each side and two on the top. gentle wiggle mechanism from the door. disconnect wire harness. take the unit to a good working surface like the kitchen table. Disconnect two scres holding wire limit switch in place. remove switch and disconnet two spade connectoed wires. connect spade wires to new limit swtich. screwm back in place. turn over the unit. remove the actuator pad (no tools required) it wraps around the unit and has little slots that hook over little tabs on the back edge of the unit. (tought ot describe in words but my 5 year old could probably do it)
Ice and water would not stop when glass was pulled away.
Unplug fridge. Pull out drip tray at the bottom of the dispenser, remove 2 screws under it. Remove 2 screws holding dispenser to fridge. Disconnect wiring harness. Replace switch and Actuator pad. Re assemble in reverse order and plug the fridge back in. Have a cold glass of water, with ice, and no overflow on the floor. Saved quite a bit of $ to boot!
Refrigerator door would not self close. Had to physically close it.
Replacing the hinge pin itself is really easy. Most important is to brace the bottom of the door before replacing the pin, otherwise the door will drop as the bottom hinge must be removed to install the new pin.
A couple of short lengths of 2x4s used to brace the door bottom worked fine. With these in place the door did not drop down after removing the hinge. Replacement of the hinge and pin easy.
Removed drive assembly end of ice bin using socket wrench to get to old ice bin drive ring. Pull drive sssembly back to get ice bin ring out of the other end of ice bin. Installed new ice bin ring and and reinstall drive assembly end.
Had to push the light switch to get lamp to light up. Removed power from refrig. and removed old light switch and replaced with the one I got from Partselect. Turned power back on and was done.
