A plastic drawer guide broke.
The drawer guide mounts in slots on a bracket hanging below the shelf above. Only had to use a screwdriver to move the plastic tab in the slotted bracket then slide the whole plastic guide out. ordering the new one was easy, cheap, and quick through PartsSelect.com. The new part just popped in without tools. Very easy!

Old seal was pulling apart, door wouldn't seal tight.
Having 2 people makes the job a snap. On our model the freezer door had to be partially removed so the other door can be lifted off, then slightly tighten freezer door in place. Lay door flat and remove the 36 screws & gasket making sure the new gasket slots are tucked under to match up with screw holes. We started all the screws & came back and tightened firmly. Loosen the freezer door and set the bottom door back in place, make sure doors clear each other and tighten down. Finished! I took the advice of another post and put gasket in clothes dryer for about 5 minutes,helps a bunch. Start to finish,30 minutes. Taking food out of door & replacing.

Adjusti-temp meat/cheese drawer right glide rail fell off
When the new glide rail didn't look any different that the one I thought was broken, I thought I'd assessed the wrong broken part as everytime I tried to put it in the slots it would still fall off, just like the old one.. But I went back and reread the other repair stories to get a picture in my mind what they were talking about. I realized I needed to get the glass shelf off but it wouldn't budge. I found the original information booklet and realized the two blue clips in the shelf tracks were nothing more than packing clips (we've had the fridge 8 year.) when I got those off (these took the most time and a flat head screwdriver) the shelf came right off. Then I put the glide rail brackets in the appropriate slots, pushed the rail toward the front of the shelf and when it got to the place of resistance, I just applied steady, gentle pressure to get the brackets to lock in place in the slots. Repair done, placed shelf back in fridge, put drawer back on, and it was done. Oh, forgot, I first had to take the little wheel thingy off the old raid and screw it onto the new rail before attaching the new rail to the shelf. By the Way, this was really easy to do. I'm a 66 year old grandmother and this was my first refrigerator repair. Always read the previous repair stories--they really do tell you what you need to do.

Light switch wasn't working.. As I would close the door I would notice our frig light wasn't going off...
I simply removed the old switch by gently pulling down on the old switch with a screwdriver. When it was about half way out I just gently pulled down on the old switch and it popped out... I removed the two connectors attached to the old switch by pulling on the connectors with a pliers...I tried using my fingers but wasn't able to pull the connectors off so I used pliers. It worked perfectly.. When pulling off the old connectors, make sure you attach the new switch to the same tabs on the new switch... It was very easy to do and took under 5 mins.....The light switch works perfect....P.S. You should unplug the frig while making the connection just in case....Safety first....!!!

Identifying the part on the parts diagram took the longest. Finding the screw driver bit that would remove the old screw that held the original shelf support took longer than the actual repair.
Once I identified the bit that would remove the screw, the rest of the repair took 5 minutes. I removed the screw and discarded the remains of the original but now broken shelf support. With the same screw I simply attached the new shelf support that I received from PartSelect.com. End of story.

fridge door switch did not work
I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!

Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.
