The one thing that made it an easy repair was the video that Part Select had on their website which shows how to install the stud that does not use a screw to hold it in place..

Appreciate having a source like yours to provide parts for my appliance
I would have rated my transaction at 5 stars, except the delivery took over a week and I was notified that it was sent FedEx, but my expectations are based on other site that often delivers in a day or 2 at the most. I actually went on that site to find this part, but decided to go with your firm.

Broken support on lower drawer shelf.

  • Dawn from RED WING, MN

  • Pliers
Important: Do not twist broken stud to remove if possible, just pull with the pliers straight out. I twisted it and made the hole larger. Even so, I just used Gorilla Epoxy glue to secure the new one (follow directions on the package) and it's fixed. It's been a couple days and still looks secure. Thanks for the quick delivery.

Following the diagram of parts so that I could order the right items was the most difficult part of the job. The web site for this task needs to be more friendly.

The shelf support studs were broken off. The crisper drawer cover was broken.

The video showing how to make the repair was absolutely invaluable. It would have been much more difficult without that. Our refrigerator is about 20 years old so the broken support studs were difficult to get out, but because of the video I knew I was doing it correctly. My next project is to fix the ice maker and I feel much more confident about tackling that job now.

Glass Pan Cover / Shelf Broke
32 of 35 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Sherry from Colorado Springs, CO
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
First of all, here's a warning to all -- I took the glass shelf / pan cover out to clean it -- with a sponge wet with COLD water and the shelf literally exploded on me. This is the second such incident. Both times I have been lucky and no one was hurt.

The shelf was easily identifiable by part number based on model number. Easy to locate the model number on plate above top shelf inside refrigerator (right hand side in my case).

Only had to carefully set glass shelf in frame -- no issues. I was able to use a screwdriver to remove the shelf support stud and basically pop the replacement back in with no issue.

Thank you Parts Select for your simplified system to order replacement parts, and the speed with which it was received.

My refrigerator is over 10 years old. Over time a few of the door shelf end caps had broke leaving it hard to store things in the door. Recently one of the shelf support studs broke. We did an on line search and found Part Select and had replacement parts in just a few days.

My wife had the shelf end caps and trim replaced before I got home. The shelf support stud was very easy to install. A pair of pliers and a simple turn and the broke piece was out and the new one was in.

Broken water dispenser, shelf supports broken
1 person found this instruction helpful.
  • Barbara L from Marshall, IL
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
one screw fixed the water dispenser. The screws were more difficult to remove.
Your website would be more helpful if you had a larger diagram of the shelf supports. It was difficult to locate the exact supports needed. I actually bought one I didn't need as a package of two.
My refigerator was manufactured in 1990. I bought it new. I have had no proplems with the refigerator or freezer. The broken water dispenser and shelf supports are the only repairs. If the company had made the dispenser and shelf supports out of metal they would not have broken. There is too much weight on the brackets in the crisper because it is such a large contained area Otherwise I am very happy with my refigerators performance.

Refrigerator shelf studs broken off
11 of 15 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Stephen from Vancouver, WA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Pliers
The shelf studs were broken and needed to be replaced. Searching online as to how to remove a number of sources said to turn stud 90deg counter-clockwise to remove. These studs needed to be turned 180 degrees. Once studs were out obvious this needed to be done. Re-insert of studs were easy.

Replacement of studs were easy.
