The original shelf that came with the refrigerator broke and we ordered a replacement.
The problem with the replacement part is that it didn't fit cleanly and doesn't slide well with the existing drawer.
We were disappointed.

broken meat drawer ;shelf
When I did not see instructions on how to replace the broken shelf that holds the meat drawer, I was afraid it would be difficult but after seeing how the broken piece placement was placed all I had to do was slide it off and place the new one. No problem, Thank you!!!

the bracket that holds the crisper drawer broke
I screwed the bracket in. How ever the placement of the screw made it impossible to use a small wrench. I had to manually tighten it. Having a screw head would have been better

light did not work on the refrigerator side
bulbs were not burnt out. received the new switch in a few days. watch the short video, was good to see how it comes out. used a putty knife to release the defective switch, removed wires put them on the new one and posed the new switch back in. Not bad Part cost $11.00 7 dollars shipping so for 17 bucks it works great. nice to see what is inside the refer!
