Compressor running constantly with freezer temperature at -20 degrees fahrenheit.
Since the evaporator was all iced up, I decided to replace the least costliest item (defrost thermostat kit); did not resolve the problem. Once I replaced the freezer temperature control thermostat, the freezer temperature stabilized right at 0 degrees fahrenheit with dial on factory setting. Compressor no longer running constantly.

Plastic bearing broke on refrig door
The part number was easy to find on the diagram. Delivery was as promised. Instructional film was very helpful and reassuring. Only problem was that the broken part left in the door was difficult to remove as it was distorted and would not slide out. Took considerable persuasion by screwdriver and pliers to remove remaining portion. New part went right in and reassembly was easy. Door works fine now.

There is several videos on youtube which had this exact repair. 1) Unplug refridgerator. 2)Turn off water supply 3) Slide out the ice bin. 4) loosen the 2 screws with a 1/4 in nut driver. 5) lift out the ice maker. 6) unplug the icemaker from refridgerator. 6) transfer the leveling bracket from old ice maker to new ice maker. 7) reverse process and ice takes about 3 hours to start falling.

Refrigerator plastic cam broke
Watched the video....it was perfect. Just needed a Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers and a 3/8 socket. The cam was shattered, so I had to pull it out the old, broken one with the needle-nose pliers. The whole thing took about 20 minutes. Really appreciate that video!

Orginal pin failed. I got tired of doing a balancing act with food on the shelf to take weight off the missing pin.
Just like the video. I had pulled all the parts of the old pin out of the frig months ago. I had tired to buy a replacement pin, but the local supply store could not get the correct part. I finally did a search and found your website. I was impressed with the pictures and the "how to" video.

Refrigerator And Freezer Not Cooling Sufficiently
Refrigerator and freezer was not cooling sufficiently due to an inoperative evaporator cooling fan. Replacing the mini evaporator fan was extremely easy. Here are the steps needed to replace the fan. Step 1: Unplug refrigerator/freezer main power cord from the electric wall outlet. Step 2: Remove the food rack from the freezer compartment. Step 3: Using a 1/4" nut driver, remove the (2) 1/4" screws that hold the freezer vent panel/temperature control in place. Step 4: After removing the screws, disconnect the motor's wire harness connector which is located on the top left corner behind the freezer's vent panel/temperature control. Step 5: Pull away the entire vent panel/temperature control panel and lay it flat on a table. Step 6: Remove the vent cover from the main panel by holding the left side and the right side of the vent cover and squeeze both ends at the same time. Step 7: With the motor now being visible pull the motor's fan blade straight off. Step 8: Using the 1/4" nut driver, remove the (2) screws that hold the motor bracket to the rear of the main panel. Step 9: Using the 1/4" nut driver remove the (2) screws that hold the motor to the bracket and the (1) ground wire screw. Step 10: Install new motor back onto the bracket with the original (2) screws and the (1) ground wire screw onto the same locations.Step 11: Re install the (2) screws that mount the fan bracket to the back of the main vent panel.Step 12: Push the motor's original fan blade back on the shaft until it's fully seated. Step 12: Snap back in place the small vent panel back onto the main panel. Step 13: Push in place until you hear a click, the motor's wiring harness connector back onto the top left corner of the freezer's main power wire harness connector. Step 13: Push the main vent panel until it's in place and then reinstall with the original (2) 1/4" screws. Step 14: Reinstall the freezer's food rack back in place. Step 15: Plug in the main power cord into the wall outlet. Get ready to enjoy ice cold drinking water and a super cold freezer. Pete,your weekend mechanic
