The door clicked when opened or closed.

Refrigerator would work for 2 weeks then start freezing up
First let me say the appliance guy said I needed to replace the whole freezer coils within the freezer part but the unit after using a hair dryer would work fine for two weeks then freeze up again. His conclusion of leaking refrigerant did not make sense, nor the noting of uneven freezing, so I figured I would take a chance on logic. The worst part was unloading the refrig and throwing away a boat load of food. Anyway once I removed the back panel that reveals where the defrost thermostat is I simply followed the wires by disconnecting the old and attaching the new until I got to the last two - brown and orange which actually go behind the defrost heater element and disappear below the fan. I cut both & used the adapter peice did a crimp - done. The timer took 5 minutes. Its working fine and cooling fabulously! I wanted to get past the two week point it is now in its 4th and doing fine. By he way the cams, thanks to your video took 10 minutes. Very satisfied and will recommend DIY because everyone else seems to want to retire on my dime!

Main door was making a thunping noise when opened.
Took the door off, and replaced the plastic shim on the bottom that was the cause of the problem. The shim had broken into pieces and was no longer holding the door in height and alignment. I was proud of myself that I could repair it myself and avoid a $125.00 service call from a repairman. Total cost of repair including shipping and handling was just south of $12.00.

Refrigerator door wouldn't stay closed.
Took everything off the door then removed the door from the refrigerator. The old cam unit was completely gone and the shaft for the cam was digging into the door. Installed the new cam and shim and put the door back on. Worked perfect.
Much easier than my wife and I thought it would be. We're both in our sixties and have never done anything like this before. Thank you.

The cam on the door hinge is worn. The instructions say to remove the door to replace it. But...inspection shows that the bottom hinge support is an external mount, and it appears that if i support the door from the bottom, with something like a stack of books or scrap lumber, i can remove the fasteners, drop out the hinge, replace the cam on the door and hinge, and bolt it back in place. lying on the floor to remove the remove the door section of the cam with a stubby phillips screwdriver seems a lot easier than taking everything out of the fridge, then taking the door off and having to re-allign the top hinge afterward. am i missing something?
