I had a loose fitting old condensor fan blade on my new motor.

I made a temporary repair by drilling the old blade plastic hub and put a small screw in it to hold it on to the shaft until the new blade arrived. The new blade came in within the two days I needed before Thanksgiving. I removed the old and pushed on the new. There were 8 screws on the back guard and two to hold the motor on. It was a snap.
Thank you PartSelect.com The wife is very, very happy now, we had 51 coming over for Thanksgiving. :)

The right door gasket was cracked in two or more places and probably leaked.

I watched the Part Select demonstration for removing and replacing the door gasket. It looked easy and was easier and faster than the demo. The toughest part was getting the wrinkles out of the new door seal.

Gasket not sealing good

Opened the bottom freezer door and pulled the gasket out of the groove. Pulled it out around the door and put the new one back around the door and the pressed into the groove. There was one place that a flat spot didn't take shape so I used a blow dryer to heat it up some and now it seals perfectly.

The vertical mullion rail went bad

I left this broken rail hang off my refrigerator for almost a year I finally decided to investigate the possibility of ordering the part on line. I found the part on line in minutes and when I received the part it literally took me 3 minutes to install.

Repaced the right-side door light switch

Killed the power to the fridge. Then, used a small, thin screwdriver to depress the clip on the bottom of the switch and wriggled the old switch out. The two wires easily came off the contacts with pliers. Connected the wires to the new switch and snapped it into the hole--clip facing down and contacts facing up. Turned the power back on and checked the switch. Worked perfectly! Easy job.

Clips on old toe kick plate were broken on one side. Would not stay on

Took the new kick plate out of the box. Snapped it into position. I have had a repairman for this refrigerator before. I would rather repair an appliance than buy a new one. I'm very proud that I thought to get a replacement part myself instead of calling my friendly repairman again. Saved a few dollars.
