Refrigerator was freezing up and not cooling fresh food compartment
The repair was easy, I removed the cover on the top front of the fresh food compartment. It housed the defrost timer which was easy to identify and replace. Just removed a screw, unplugged the wires and replaced with the new part. Unfortunately, that wasn't the only problem. I also had to replace the defrost element that the timer sent power to. While I was at it, I replaced the defroster thermostat. The entire repair took under an hour, diagnosing the problem took the most time and effort.

New Rental, Door Bar Broken
Just moved into a new rental home and a few days in the bar that holds all the stuff -- milk containers, juice jugs, etc. -- in the refridge door falls off. The old tenants had "fixed" it with tape on one side and paint stirrers and caulk on the other side. (No kidding -- a real overkill job they did).
I looked up the model number online and found this site and promptly ordered the parts for $6 plus shipping. The parts came and snapped right in perfectly. Took only a minute.
I really only had to use pliers to pull out the oodles of hard swirly caulk from the slots in the door left from the overkill job by the previous tenants.
PartsSelect is awesome! The site makes it easy to look for the part you want and the parts were perfect -- No more stuff falling out the fridge door.
PS. This form made me select the age of the appliance. I really have no idea since I just moved in and it was already here.

noisy fridge, perimeter of door heating up
figured out the condenser fan was kaput. Tried WD, worked for several days then gave out completely. Took off back of fridge and trained small fan on compressor while I ordered new condenser fan. The swap was easy, undid the housing bolts, stripped off the connector, reconnected and voila! works perfect.

Shelf studs broke several years ago and I had a problem locating them. Finally wised up and checked Part Direct and found them, ordered the kit w/ 12 pieces. Then quickly watched the installation video. Took less than 30 minutes to replace two different studs. Wife is very happy.
Simply took broken pieces of old stud out and replaced with the new ones. Used pliers to adjust them. Replace a freezer stud and a fridge stud.

Condenser fan making noise
I removed 7 screws hold the heavy cardboard cover on the rear of the fridge. The dificult part was taking the screws that hold the 3 fan motor braces on the fan out. After that it was a matter of making the wire conections and putting it back in. I did not have enough room to laydown to do the work, If i had it would have been a lot easier to see the screws that had to be removed. All in all an easy job, and the part was a perfect fit.
