Light Switch broke
An easy job for smaller hands. Removed the two bolts holding the light cover. Removed two electrical connections from the old switch by pinching the retaining clip,removed the switch, snapped in the new one and re-attached the connectors. Your online illustrations helped me to know that the plastic housing for the light switch would only swing down so far and was not intended to be removed. Saved me from breaking that plastic cover's tabs. This home repair saved me more than 5 times the cost of hiring a professional to do it. Very happy homeowner.

Lights inside refrigerator not working
I used a flat-head screwdriver to pop out the old light rocker switch. Then, I unplugged the wires, plugged them into the new light rocker switch, and then popped the new switch into the hole. That's it! Lights began working again.

LED behind upper compartment of freezer failed
The hard part was getting the OLD fixture out. They tell you to protect the surface around it with tape, but try sticking tape to a freezing cold surface with water condensing on it! And it's so firmly snapped in place that it takes a putty knife and screw driver to push the prongs back to get it loose. Finally, the fixture is on the ceiling behind the icemaker so very awkward working conditions, plus and you can't see well because ALL of the lights are out (remember, they're in series). To see I had to prop my phone up at just the right angle to shine its little light on the area.

But getting it in was literally a snap. Just snap the couplings together, carefully push the wires into the empty space and slide the rear prongs in, then snap the front ones in simply by pushing the whole fixture firmly. Then pat yourself on the back!
