Freezer frosted over and Rrigerator side would not maintain temperature due to failure of defrost heater
After viewing on Youtube I knew exactly what to expect in the repair process. It was easy, easy and saved me a 90 dollar service call plus an over priced replaement part. Time to repair was 25 minutes and included my kid taking the screwdriver.

I emptied all items from the above drawer shelf, removed the shelf and drawer, cleaned the area from previous spills, use a screw driver to remove the 2 screws holding the old slider in and replaced the slider. All parts fitted and it took around or less than 15 minutes.

Rail broke
So easy. It didn't look the same as the current one and I almost sent it back, but once I put the screws in , it went in so easily. Took me less than 5 minutes. I'm so happy!

Refrigerator and freezer stopped cooling and began to thaw.
The repair is pretty straight forward it is the preparation that takes time.
The food in the freezer portion of our side by side began thawing. We tried adjusting the temperature level to colder but to no avail. When we started emptying the freezer compartment I noticed a large amount of frost/ice at the back.
I turned the control to off and began defrosting the freezer using my wife's hair dryer. :) Once the outside layer was defrosted I removed the panel covering the coils. They were packed solid with ice and took over 30 minutes to defrost. Be sure to use a pan or container to catch some of the water because the catch pan under the refrigerator isn't large enough.
Once everything was defrosted I removed the heater tube assembly (at bottom of coils)it was a glass tube with a coiled wire element inside. The element had shorted out and the tube appeared black in that area.
I replaced this single tube heater with the double tube recommend on the partselect.com site. This required re-routing one of the wires and splicing in the plug/wire assembly contained in the repair kit.
Simply followed the instructions, reassembled everything and turned the control back on. No more problems. A very easy repair for anyone mechanically inclined and who owns a few basic tools.

broken side rail - vegetable drawer would not open and close
I removed the drawer and broken piece, then I screwed in the two screws to put the new piece in place. I then had trouble putting the shelf back in place due to the piece being a little bent. I loosened the front screw and was able to manuver the shelf in place with a little force. The new bracket works great.

Broken right rail
First take all your junk off the shelf (with the broken rail of course), take the glass shelf off. Remove screws (phillips). Throw away old rail. Replace new rail, tighten screws. Replace shelf, replace junk. You're done.

Sliders on right side broke
Very simple repair. The hardest part was making sure I was ordering the correct sliders. I nailed it! I simply removed drawers and glass, removed broken sliders by unscrewing them, wiped out fridge, screwed in new sliders and replaced glass and drawers. The whole process was easy. I'm glad you were there for me!
