The original door gasket was in very bad condition due to neglect.
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.

With that completed, I began in the upper right corner of the door, easily pressing the new gasket into the channel on the fridge door. 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!

I believe I didn't order all the parts for the shelf. I need the sides, because it's still not in. Also the handle came off the fridge door, there no way to put that on.
I needed the sides so it can stay on track. The freezer and ddor bars were no problem. I talking about the glass rack in refrigerator

You have sent the wrong part for the THIRD time. You have sent aaccess cover that is TWO INCHES too short. It does not cover the opening, and you will not answer your phones.
There is no way to complete the repair with the wrong part, You have had my order since June 22nd, 2020 and the incorrect part arrived October 27th, 2020. You charged $7.79 plus $1.06 tax and $9.95 shipping. Please refund the entire amount including the shipping, since I did not ask you to ship the incorrect amount.

the refrig was in storage for about a year, the freezer door warped
removed freezer door and installed the new one. This was a pretty easy thing to do, although putting the old handle on the new door was a challenge. No knowing that there is a plastic piece holding the top of the handle i broke the that piece and had to order another one. Mean while the freezer was making alot of frost inside, so that had to be cleaned after the new part came.

Bottom shelf bar broke.
Ordered the part. When it arrived (extremely fast delivery), took the old part off and put the new part in. Perfect fit. Took less than one minute to exchange the old with the new.

Thanks a lot for such a wonderful, pleasant experience. Would heartily recommend your services to anyone in the market.

I purchased a refrigerator for the first time, and didn't realize it lacked a freezer shelf!
The part fit perfectly. I simply placed the ends on the holes on the side wall inside the refrigerator, and the other end of the shelf slipped right into the matching holes on the other side. That easy!

refer door hinges were lost during the move in to our first home.
The center door hinge was still attached to the refridgerator so I only had to install the bottom and top hinges. I also moved the door handles to the other side so the doors open the "right" way. The hinges were just 2 bolts and 3 screws. Now, just if the repair man from our home warrentee company would show up to fix the refridgerator. It's blowing hot air!!!

Door switch was no longer making my light go on when door opened
I used the youtube you provided. It was pretty straight forward, but I had to make a trip to the hardware store for a bit (hex wrench) to remove the hex bolt head style screws. I was only expecting to need phillips or flathead. I managed to remove one with a set of pliers, and the brought that example to the store for size reference when buying the bit to fit my black and decker drill. The rest was easy.

Refrigerator did not cycle
Installation was fairly straight forward. The major complaint is that the problem returned 2 weeks later. I don’t know if I care to re-invest in another switch.
