Light switch wasn't working.. As I would close the door I would notice our frig light wasn't going off...

I simply removed the old switch by gently pulling down on the old switch with a screwdriver. When it was about half way out I just gently pulled down on the old switch and it popped out... I removed the two connectors attached to the old switch by pulling on the connectors with a pliers...I tried using my fingers but wasn't able to pull the connectors off so I used pliers. It worked perfectly.. When pulling off the old connectors, make sure you attach the new switch to the same tabs on the new switch... It was very easy to do and took under 5 mins.....The light switch works perfect....P.S. You should unplug the frig while making the connection just in case....Safety first....!!!

Refrigerator was cold but bottom freezer was not cold enough to freeze bread or ice cream.

I had previously replaced the defrost timer and thermostat but the freezer was still not cold enough and was frosting up. After replacing the heater element I was disappointed that all the ice melted and the refrigerator was warming up. We were looking for a replacement appliance, but after the second day the freezer and refrigerator were working perfectly! It just took some time to cycle enough to catch up.

Bad Compressor Start Device and Capacitor

Followed Youtube video from Free Repair Help. Only problem was getting down low enough to see the pins on the Compressor to plug the replacement Compressor Start Device and Capacitor-could not replace the old clip to hold the unit to the Compressor like the old unit had. At 77 I just have a problem bending over.

The duel water valve began leaking

Plumber came to stop the water leak and told us it was a bad valve so I ordered the part - thank you Kate! - it was exactly what we needed. Disconnected the old valve (making note on the process) and installed the new valve in reverse process. Turned the water on and dispensed water and it leaked from one of the lines at connection. With the water turned off, my son again with pliers carefully pushed the tubing harder up into the valve and heard/felt it click into place and it has worked like a charm since. Good son and mom team.
