Appliance spray paint is a great way to cover up any chips and scratches that have appeared on your appliances. Instead of replacing the part entirely, this is an easy fix. This is also a great way to give a fresh new look to any handles or areas that have discoloring due to wear. Make sure to clean the area before you begin and wear a protective mask for safety. Give the can a good shake and spray a few inches away from the surface. Apply the paint until the area is fully covered as desired. Wait until the paint has dried before using the appliance.

Ice builds up on inside bottom of upright freezer.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Lonnie. I would check to make sure the defrost drain isn't frozen. If so you can try to manually defrost your freezer. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.

Donna - For model number MQF1656TEW02

I am looking at this model freezer, but it is described as "self defrosting". Is that the same as "frostfree"?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Donna, thank you for a very interesting question. We have found that self-defrosting and frost-free are two distinct categories of frost-fighting features. Self-defrosting freezers have a self-cleaning function that works automatically. This process heats up the coils inside your freezer to prevent them from frosting over. However, if a freezer claims to be a frost-free freezer, that means it has an automatic fan designed to remove warm air from the freezer, preventing moisture from accumulating and freezing on the freezer walls. The fan circulates cold air inside the freezer's interior, preventing any frost buildup. Frost-free freezers do not have to be manually defrosted. We hope this information is useful!

Lights inside refrigerator not working

  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins

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.

Light Would Not Go On In The Refrigerator
62 of 82 people found this instruction helpful.
  • DANIEL from MINNEAPOLIS, MN
  • Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
First I removed the old lightbulb from the socket and replaced it with a new one to confirm that the bulb was not the problem. I then pryed the socket out with a flat-head screwdriver. I could tell that the socket was anchored in its hole with clips so it was relatively easy to pry it out. Once the socket was out, I disconnected the le ad wires and ordered a replacement socket kit from Partselect. When the new one arrived, I reconnected the lead wires to it, snapped it back into its hole, screwed in a new lightbulb, and presto!! The light was back on with no further problem. Thank you, Partselect!! A $15.00 part saved me what probably would have been at least a $100. service call and heaven knows what the technician would have told me I needed!!!

Light Switch broke

  • James Richard from St. Cloud, MN
  • Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Socket set
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.
