First I removed the top screws, then I slide it off the lower screw that is hidden behind the handle. I replaced the handle by sliding it onto the bottem first then attaching it onto the top with the two top screws.

I checked the dampener, it worked. The compressor and fan worked. I knew because my freezer was still hovering around 10 degrees. Coils were clean. Thermistor was the only thing it could be. Took all my shelves out. Removed four screws. Took the back panel off. The thermistor sits tucked in on the side. I piped it out, in clipped it. Used

my multimeter to test the numbers. Numbers were off just a bit. Ordered the part. Crossed my fingers.,took less then 5 minutes to put the part in. Plugged in the fridge. It was sitting at 33 degrees in about an hour and a half. I can’t believe I fixed it. I knew NOTHING about refrigerators. For how big my fridge is, it would have cost 3,000 and up to get a new one with the same cu ft size. Instead, it cost me $44. That includes shipping. Thank you Parts Select!! Made it so easy to pick the correct part for my model fridge!

The repair didn't require any tools at all. Just simply slide the new glass shelf carefully into the the frame and while holding it horizontally slide the frame back into the rails. This took less than a minute to accomplish. Very satisfied with the results.

This repair was very easy and took less than five minutes. I used the same screws that were on the fridge to put the handle in place. All I needed was a screwdriver. I would also like to add that when I ordered this part it was shipped the same exact day and I received it the next day. It was incredibly fast and I will use them again in t

Frig area was at about 50 degrees and would not get cooler. Freezer was working great.
Empty the freezer and remove the two screws that hold the back panel of the inside of the freezer on. Pull the panel out and you will see the fan that is mounted to the back of the panel. If the fan is not running, disconnect it (quick con ... Read more nector) and check to see if there is voltage coming to it from the connector (should be 120VAC between the two wires). If there is power, and the fan was not working, replace the fan.
Fan just snaps into the holder on the back panel and plugs into the quick connector. Make sure you clear any ice build-up in the hole between the freezer and the frig that the fans blows through. Put it back together and verify the fan runs.

Don't ever tell your 11 year old to clean the refridgerator. Something will almost definetly get broken like the glass shelf, but luckily I had parts select which in no time assisted me to find the exact part. I ordered the part, it came quickly and I replaced within seconds.
Thanks.

I pulled the old gasket off and thoroughly cleaned the entire refrigerator door, including the area where the gasket would pop into. Starting at the two upper corners, I pushed the corners into the ridge in the door and used my thumbs to press the gasket in along the top of the door. I then went about halfway down the door using my thum

bs to push in the gasket. Then I pushed the lower corners in, taking my thumbs up either side of the door to finish installing that section then I pushed the bottom in, checking the lower corners to make sure they were secure. Then I closed the door and made sure the seal was secure on both sides of the door.

Easily removed the original door gasket starting at an upper corner by pulling the old gasket off completely. I then cleaned the area where the new gasket was to be pressed into the channel on the door of the fridge. I also cleaned the area on the fridge where the new gasket would seat upon completion of the installation.

I then pressed the upper left hand corner of the gasket into place, into the channel on the door. I then pressed the entire upper horizontal part of the gasket into the channel along the top of the fridge door.
I then pressed the left and right vertical portions of the gasket into the channels on the fridge door. I then pressed the lower left corner of the gasket into place, followed by the lower right hand corner into place of the bottom channel of the door.
Lastly, I pressed the lower horizontal portion of the gasket completely into the channel of the bottom of the fridge door.
Finally, I rechecked all portions of the gasket to be sure they were securely fitted into the channel of the door.
Mission accomplished in less than 15 minutes. It's a piece of cake to make this repair!
