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!

My ice maker was not working. I replaced the ice make and it didn’t fix the issue. I tested the valve and it was fine. It was recommended that the main board was bad. I replaced the main board and that did not fix the issue either. After looking on YouTube and other sites I found that all but 3 wire
I unplugged the refrigerator. Located the panel for the main board which was on the left side as you look at the back of the refrigerator. I unplugged the the wires to the board and removed the board. I installed the new one and plugged the wires into it. They are different plugs so you can’t mix them up. I then put the door back on. Plugged the refrigerator back into the outlet. It took less than 15 minutes.

Refer lights not working, there are two lights and neither worked. Decided the switch was the problem.
The switch fix but did not fix the problem. I assumed the wires go on the same way as on the old switch. Is it possible if one light Burns out, the other will not work either?
