broken light switch in the freezer
We removed the old switch, unplugged it, plugged the new one in and it was easy to do. But when we tried to put the switch back in we had a very hard time doing it. Eventually got it in, but if it had not been for the difficulty we had getting the new switch to snap in to place, it would have taken under 5 minutes.

POS fridge is constantly under repair.
Understood the problem by removing the old dispenser first. That made me realize I also needed the shaft. Went online and matched up all the #’s and the repair went smoothly.

Water was leaking when ice maker or water dispenser was being used.
Looked for the same repair on line by model number. I found it, watched the repair, then used those instructions to complete the repair on my refrigerator. The disassembly and reassembly took longer than actually replacing the part. It now works beautifully with NO leaks.

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.
