The refrigerator wasn't cold enough.
I removed the plastic shroud on the ceiling of the refigerator, unscrewed and unplugged the old defrost timer, and replaced it with the new one. I reinstalled the shroud with the new timer installed.

Fridge parts missing
I moved into a house with two guys that would have never even thought of fixing the problem. I'm a girl and couldn't live with a fridge without all it's parts so I looked in other places and decided to buy from here because of the reviews. I got the parts in two days with no problems at all, they were easy to install and the fridge looks better and we can make better use of the space.
I would recommend this store to anyone!!

Refrigerator too warm
The parts were easily replaceable. No special instructions needed. Just identify and remove and replace. I didn't know which specific part needed to be replaced (both reported to fix my problem) but neither part was very expensive so I replaced both. No special tools needed. 1/4" nutdriver and phillips head screwdriver. Repair took about 30 minutes. I did have to make an adjustment on the defrost timer (a small dial on the unit) I just set it how the old part was set. I immediately knew it was going to work when I plugged the refrigerator back in and the fan motor inside the freezer kicked on. Easy peesy...

Old gasket was cracked, dirty, and causing the refrigerator to run overtime.
Easy to peel out old gasket, and new one tucked right in. I was embarrassed that it was so easy and I waited so long. Has made a big difference in how the frig looks and also operates.

Putting the shelf in was a no-brainer. It comes with matching slots and you can't put it in upside down or backwards. Only the right way!
