Internal light did not come on each time the door was opened.
After disconnecting the electricity. I followed the instructions as indicated in the "HOW TO" article on the website. I used a steel putty knife and pried the light switch out of its retaining hole. I worked the right side the most since this is the side with the retaining clip. After I removed the switch I transferred the two electrical outlets to the new switch and easily snapped it into place. Engaged the electric power and tested the switch.

Door Light switch cracked Mounting
I noticed that the refrigerator was having trouble maintaining temperature. Thought it might be time for new one until I found out that a new frig was $5k to $7K. Just happened to notice that the light switch didn't look quite right (was not sitting sqaure to the door). Once I pressed it it came loose. I then realized the the lights were staying on (50 watts of heating). Replaced the switch and the frig started working like new.

the original slide rail for the meat drawer in the fridge broke
I took the original shelf out of the fridge with the brackets and the slide rail attached. The most difficult part was actually dismounting the slide rail from the bracket so I could replace it. I did this by leveraging the rail away from the bracket with a screwdriver so it could move freely and then banged it out. Once the old slide rail was off I just snapped in the new piece, screwed the wheel from the old rail onto the new one.

pull-down shelf bracket broke in freezer
Took both left(broken one) and right brackets off. They come out opposite what you may think. You must pull down on them and then out. Previous post alerted me to pull down, and he was right. Pliers helped give me leverage.
I put the shelves into bracket on both sides before inserting them back into position. Popped right in with a firm push.
All's well that ends well.
