Refrigerator door damaged during renovation
Received a brand new right side door from Parts Select.com. Unpacked the door and checked its condition after shipping and found to be perfect. Removed shelf storage units from the old door on the refrigerator. Removed handle and handle mounts on front of door with allen wrench. Used two different size star bits (#30 and #25) on the upper door hinge screws (4) on top of the refrigerator. Unscrewed hinge and lifted door off the lower hinge.
Placed the new door on the lower hinge and reattached the upper hinge with the screws. Re-installed the shelf storage units on the inside of the new door. Reinstalled handle mounts and handle on door.
Note: the new door required very little adjustment in alignment to the left door.

The door switch was broken so the interior light would not come on.
The instructions in the package were not helpful. They wanted me to cut the wiring harness and described where to cut based on the wire colors. My wires were not the same color! I removed the light mechanism using a combination of a screwdriver, putty knife, and plain old muscle with my fingers! The wiring harness unplugged easily and the new one inserted. It was easy to push the whole assembly back into the door. I spent more time looking for something to cut the wiring harness with (and never did find it) than the whole job actually took without needing to cut anything!

The trim on the upper drawer was fading, not causing any functional problems, just bumming us out a little.
We thought the trim piece would pop off the drawer, but instead the trim is glued to the drawer handle. After puzzling over what to do for a couple minutes, we grabbed some pliers and SLOWLY leveraged / peeled the old trim off and put the new trim on.

Go slow. Bend the old trim as you peel it off and use the pliers as a lever. Do a little at a time.
