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....!!!

The slide rail was cracked in half.
I removed the shelf (that contained the slide rails) from the fridge. I unscrewed 3 screws which connected the broken slide rail to the shelf. I connected the new slide rail to the shelf with the same 3 screws. I then put the shelf back in place in the fridge. A clean job.

old gasket caput
only problem was many screws -- like 30 or so -- took a while to get off without a socket wrench and then get back on -- all while the freezer was dripping. Had to do it over a period of time.

Old gasket was spit and worn out
I was so happy to find a gasket still available for my old refrigerator. This was an easy job, more time consuming than anything, taking out the many screws that held the old gasket in. I am a 74 year old woman, so if I can replace a gasket, I think anyone can. I removed all the screws around the old gasket and pulled it off. Cleaned up the door area with a damp cloth. Soaked the new gasket in warm water to make it pliable, laid it around the door frame, making sure the lip was under the screw in area. I fitted each corner first. Then I started screwing the gasket in place with the old screws starting in the middle of each side. I slowly worked my way around the freezer door until it was done. Easy repair and saved the cost of a new fridge.

fridge door switch did not work
I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!
Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.
