Broke the arm off the food compartment rocker switch

After receiving the new part almost immediately,using two screw drivers, removed the broken switch from the plastic frame. Be careful not to scratch or otherwise tear the plastic...very pliable. Since the original switch was factory installed and the wires were packed in fiberglass insulation, the switch came out but the wires and clips were still in place and could not reach the new switch. It was necessary to pull them down with bent long nose pliers...used a lot of "pull" but the wires held up.Connected the switch, turned the power on and there was light! Reports from other users really took the uncertainty out of the task.

Bottom nylon washer gone

I watched the online video and followed the directions. The only thing that was not obvious (and this is where the video saved several minutes)was how to remove the upper part from the door. This repair makes the door seals much more effective and should reduce the compressor run time. I have to compliment you on your prices and speed in getting the parts to me...great service!

Door won't close and freezer frosted up

First My Frig side of the double door unit wasn't closing on its own. Kids don't look, so they walk away...next thing you know the frig warms up and the freezer starts to frost up from running so long...Now it won't shut off.... I checked the hinge and sure enough it was wore down. Now mind you, I ordered a hinge kit first without checking to see what type I needed...don't do that...Less than 15 mins you can take the door off and see which one you need.As soon as I saw which type of hinge set I needed I went and ordered it...returned the other one. It came pretty quick.... 15 mins had that sucker changed and working... But... the door still wouldn't close on its own... Common sense told me the heat from the frosted freezer caused the door and frig walls to swell... Yes I said the heat... When the component in the freezer frosts up it does not keep the frig cool, nor will the freezer stay kool... the frost prevents the cool air from moving around...thus "HEAT".... It took a full 24 hrs for my frig n freezer to get back to normal... and now the door closes just fine... MIND YOU! I had to take the covers off the freezer unit inside, then take a steamer and melt all that frost off of every inch including down the drain... That took me a good 5-6 hours... and what a mess.... but it was worth my time.... because I don't have to replace my second hand Jenn-Air which I could never afford to buy brand new.... Whew....what we have to do to keep things going... $11 bucks worth of parts.... "Super Mom" :o)

Plastic door closure was broken

The DIY video was very handy and precise to every visual detail needed for anyone to do their very own repair. It doesn't get any better than that.

Both light bulbs had been replaced, but lights did not turn on.

I tried to remove the old light switch using a putty knife and a hammer. It was hard to compress the plastic tabs to pull it back through the hole, but all of a sudden, the lights came on. I guess banging on the switch freed-up the contacts. The new switch is now a spare part in case I need it.
