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."

Looked at several videos on line in order to learn how to remove door and and all trays and bins and remove ice maker. Mostly straight forward. It helps to have a second pair of hands and eyes to assist. But could be done alone.Never did this before but I would say that, with a little courage, anyone could do this. I had a local repair estimate of almost $300. I did the job for the cost of the part, $80.

Laid out new gaskets in sunlight to make them pliable. Removed old gasket by gently pulling them out of the channels around the door. I then did the reverse with the new gaskets. Starting at the top I pushed the new gasket into the channel, moving in one direction around the door. Make sure the outer lip of the gasket does not fold under itself. It should lie flat on the surface of the door. It is truly that easy.

I watched the repair video on the website and was able to complete the repair in under 5 minutes. Super Easy!

The Condenser Fan Motor was already removed due to searching for the problem. The new fan motor looked different from the original but I felt very comfortable that Part Select had sent me the new part showing original part number changing numbers over the years. Simply placed the fan blades onto the new motor lined up 2 of the holes placed screws and tightened then plugged the wire ribbon into the Condensor Fan Motor, plugged in the Refridgerator and it worked beautifully.

The instruction video on the Part Select Web Site made it so incredibly easy to install. Installation took under 3 minutes!

Following the excellent video on Parts Select, we soaked the new gasket in warm water in the bath tub to make it pliable, then simply pushed it into the grooves on the door.

Switched the drain out using the video tutorial
Fixed the problem
Have had no more drain issues

No tools required, but you must be careful not to shove or jam this kick plate into place as it is a plastic part and not really very sturdy. This is the second time I have replaced the kick plate and PartSelect has always been knowledgeable, polite, and helpful
!!

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.

Pulled off old gasket
Put new gasket in the groove
Gasket fit perfectly
Thank you

Viewed easy online instruction video. Laid gaskets on flat surface and warmed with hair dryer until they were smooth and unwrinkled. Starting at the top I pulled off the old gasket and beginning at the top I snapped in the new gasket. Carefully smooth as you go. I'm a 72 year old women and if I can do it, you can do it!

I watched video provided on the part page. It was very easy to pull off the old gaskets. No tools needed. Also easy to push new gaskets into the grooves. I think it helped solve the failure to close program.

Repair was very easy. I followed the instruction provided by this site for mullion rail. The door gaskets were a simple push fit. but needed the use of a hair drier to remove crimps in the rubber. Overall excellent. The refrigerator is working and cooling well.

Replaced ice maker, but new one drips.

Removed shelf, three screws on ice maker, disconnect elec. con. To Install reverse.
