Switch stops working

Replace with new switch. this is the third switch i have replaced in 10 years. the only part, besides a light bulb, that has gone bad. obviously this is a problem with this model for Kenmore, or just poor switch design.

The hose that feeds the Ice Maker broke,right where it goes in the Fridge.

I actually didn't use what I got. Because there was all kinds of tubing coiled up in the door. We just fed the exsess all the way through the Fridge,and Bingo! It was done.

Ice maker jamming, freezing up and water in the freezer

Pulled the old gaskets from the doors and then inserted the new gaskets into the slots. The gaskets are easy to remove. Just a firm pull and you're on your way to the repair.
Just make sure the gaskets are seated all the way around the doors. You'll be surprised how nice the doors close with the new gaskets in place.

Lights didn't come on when door was opened

I have moderate to good mechanical skills, but getting the old switch out was a sizeable challenge. Since this switch suffered some damage during extraction, I was lucky to have ordered a new one to replace it. Reinstall took approximately 90 seconds. PartSelect saved me an expensive service call.
