Removed rear cover, removed fan and than drip tray. install new tray and reassemblied

inst said,"50 pct of the time this calls for new capacitor," so we changed the capacitor. Same prob. It also said,"25 pct of the time it's the bi-metal thermostat" So we ordered it. We removed the plastic rear panel from inside the freezer comp. using small nut driver. Here we found much ICE surrounding the defrost unit, three inches thick. We thawed the whole mess. and the freezer has worked fine ever since. I think my habit of getting ice cubes from the inside container rather than from the ice cube dispenser, had kep t the freezer door open too much, interfering with the normal defrost cycle and allowing ice to build up over time so that it finally defeated the system. My new rule, "get ice cubes only from the front."

It was easy, remove clips and install new basket hanger and then just clip on the clips.

Not so good that was not the problem. Fan is not seized and all the lights work and display is not on but lights up as well. No start once plugged back in after 15 minutes of being unplugged. Nothing same no change.

Used the suggested problem list here to narrow down that the repair was most likely the run capacitor. Poped the new one in and I now have better control of my compartment ranges. I have a temperature gauge in each compartment. Check them every opening of the doors.

remove two crispers and glass top . Replace rail.
Note
This is 3rd time this part in about 5 years has needed replcement. If there is a next time I would expect a "freebe". Service is great and replacement rail came in jig time.

Removed & Replaced

I noticed the coils very dusty dirty, tried brushing it clean, ended up blowing it clean. I noticed the condenser fan motor was never turning, I had power, so I ordered a new one. I actual received the evaporator motor, so I had to order the correct one. After changing it, and it started blowing right away. But my refrigerator is still warm. I do not know where the evaporator blower motor is located. I cannot make out from the diagram breakdown. HELP

First off, I learned from YTube how to go about figuring out what might be wrong & how to fix it. I watched numerous videos and narrowed it down to the damper as the part to be replaced. I learned how to use the Jazz Board in the fridge to test components & verified the damper wasn't getting signal to open/close. I removed the old damper & put in the new one following what I had seen on the videos. I found a video that had the same type of damper assembly as my fridge & used it to show me how to remove & replace the damper. This was the 2nd part I had to replace to get my fridge up & working. I spent a total of 224.00 on parts and now the fridge is quieter than it's been in years. Finally, if a 66 year old woman can do this, so can you. Just watch YTube & also PartsSelect also has videos also.

removed drsws and shelf put new center rail replaced draws done

Watched the video. Everything went great, Super simple

I watched your video. The part came faster than expected. The video was very helpful. I am very happy with the service.

I took the shelf and drawers out and replaced the rail, put the shelf and drawers back in. Easy as pie.

I had to remove the 2 drawers, naturally, but then found I also had to remove the glass shelf and bracket that holds them, because the end of the center rail had broken off and stuck in the recess of the shelf. No problem. Washed the shelf and the end piece fell out, eliminating the need for pliers or tweezers. Put the new center rail in place, replaced the shelf, replaced the 2 crisper drawers and, "voila" - good as new (until next time some big, strong guy slams the crisper drawer). Thanks for quick delivery; I don't often get in the mood to fix things, so when I do it's nice the part arrives before my fixing-muse flies away.

I took out the drawers, glass, and crisper frame and slid in the center crisper bar. I ordered 2 because it looks like the bar could easily break again!
