After 17 years, the old door gasket was split and showing signs of mold
The gasket has an inner lip that fits over the edge of the door plastic liner. The old gasket was removed by pulling it straight out, in the plane of the door. Try not to pull sideways as it could crack the door liner, which gets brittle with age. The new liner had a brown magnetic strip, which holds the door closed, and this fits behind the edge of the door liner. Start on the bottom of the door. A helper is useful to hold the gasket loosely vertical. A flat blade screwdriver can be used to pry away the liner to insert the new seal. Once you have worked in the lower edge, install both sides, and then the top. Some juggling side-to-side may be needed for an exact fit

ordered a new ice maker, new refrigerator did not come with one.
I watched the video that was included with my on line order, it was helpful, although different model shown . I would say it was not difficult to install, the enclosed instructions were a bit confusing.

Fan was noisy - bearing had failed
It's self-explanatory. The procedure is obvious; it's just a little difficult. The only hard part is attaching the mounting brackets to the fan. If you can't tighten the mounting bolts, loosen them and reposition the brackets. You might end up mispositioning them at first, because they are hard to reach.

fridge door switch did not work
I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!
Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.

The handle broke and my wife was afraid to close the door because she might not be able to open it back.
The part-select video showed me to do the following:
Unplug dish washer
Open the door and unscrew the screws around the inside of the door all around.
Place the screws in the detergent holder with a cap until finished.
The door mechanism is at the top and attached to two electrical wires.
Unfasten the wires from the attachment.
Take the new attachment and fasten the wires to it.
Place the attachment back in the spot and make sure handle is sticking thru the hole to the outside.
Reattach the screws.
Plug back chord.
Finished - 15 minutes

The trim broke off when my kids yanked a bag out and it got caught in the door trim.
I removed the broken trim. Then I popped off one of the trim brackets, slid the trim in, and reinserted the trim bracket. I took 1 minute to perform. The part was perfect. Ordering was a breeze because there was a good schematic diagram to select the correct part.
