The freezer drawer was over cooling and the upper section had no cooling due to something very sticky spilling onto the damper.

Just pulled apart the lower cabinet assembly and installed new assembly. Not difficult, just take your time so as not to break any of the plastic.

switchlight on my refrigerator was not working

I found instructions on the web about how to do this repair, so I ordered the part with confidence. But the instructions simply said "pull out the old switchlight". That was actually somewhat difficult as the clip on the side intended to hold the part in was stubborn. I eventually used a utility to slice off the clip. From that point, it was just a matter of plugging in the new switchlight , which was very simple.

The light inside the oven had burned out

0. As a safety precaution, unplug the range or hit the relevant fuse breaker before you start. You might also want to grab a flashlight. Definitely do not try to do this while the oven is hot.
1. Pinch the wire over the light bulb cap to remove it. This is inside the oven at the back.
2. Pop off the hemispherical glass cap.
3. Unscrew the old light bulb, and screw the new light bulb in its place.
4. Put the cap back.
5. Secure the cap by putting the wire back in its slots on the cap.

No tools needed, the cap is just held in place with pressure from the wire.

Parts Used:

Light Bulb - 40W

Brittle, dirty gasket. Condensation in refrig.

Observed exactly how original gasket "sat" in the grooves of the door. Carefully removed it. Then methodically installed the new one with simple, consistent pressure so it would fit into the grooves. Result: nice tight sesl.

both freezer and refigerator were warm.

I watched the video online and it said there were three sensors in the refrigerator, two in the freezer and one in the refrigerator. I only ordered one sensor and was going to try the one in the refrigerator first. He said the upper one in the freezer is the most difficult, but is usually the problem. So, I replaced the upper sensor and tried restarting the unit. Everything went well and it fixed the problem.

Need to remove mullion on French door models

Called repair man as I was not certain how to remove mullion part and disconnect wire. He just removed screws top and bottom then disconnected wire. Then slid off mullion. Replacing gaskets was easy with mullion removed. Rep said NOT to use vasaline as it degrades gasket but rather use a candle if desired. Rep did not use anything just pressed gaskets into empty slot.
