Leaking around icemaker hose going in to part
Took lower back board off, took part off to expose it so I could see where it was leaking, got part number, ordered it.
Shut off water to frig at wall shut off, unhooked both hoses and plug, hooked new part up, turned water back on. Watched couple days to make sure it wasn't leaking. Vacuumed out back good, which I was amazed didn't really need it, hooked part back in place, replaced back with screws.

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....!!!

broken light switch in the freezer
We removed the old switch, unplugged it, plugged the new one in and it was easy to do. But when we tried to put the switch back in we had a very hard time doing it. Eventually got it in, but if it had not been for the difficulty we had getting the new switch to snap in to place, it would have taken under 5 minutes.

water was leaking from the back of the frig. Issue was the unit that the feed hose screwed into was leaking.
At first ordered the wrong part. Using the website was difficult to find the correct part, but once I called, it was pretty easy to find the part needed. Part showed up and install was only a few minutes. No more leaking!
Thanks for the help PartSelect!

Refrigerator door damaged during renovation
Received a brand new right side door from Parts Select.com. Unpacked the door and checked its condition after shipping and found to be perfect. Removed shelf storage units from the old door on the refrigerator. Removed handle and handle mounts on front of door with allen wrench. Used two different size star bits (#30 and #25) on the upper door hinge screws (4) on top of the refrigerator. Unscrewed hinge and lifted door off the lower hinge.
Placed the new door on the lower hinge and reattached the upper hinge with the screws. Re-installed the shelf storage units on the inside of the new door. Reinstalled handle mounts and handle on door.
Note: the new door required very little adjustment in alignment to the left door.

The lights were out in the part of the refrigerator and freezer section of refrigerator.
I ussed meter to check the voltage levels and they were fine. I refrence a you video on the refrigerator and foud out that the lights are setup in series like christmas tree lights. If the freezer light is out it will affect the rest of the lights in the refrigerator. I removed the freezer light module and test the light by swapping it with a know working light. the freezer light was the culprit that took the lights out in the side panels and the left side of the refrigerator section. I replaced the freezer light and all the lights now work without issue.
One light and they all go out. So i used one fo lights
