Ice Bin Auger Drum was broken.
First, I removed the 6 screws which hold the ice bin to the drum and the front cover. I then removed the screw which holds the door lever and bracket to the ice bin. Then I took the C clip and washer off the end of the auger to remove it from the housing. I removed the plastic nut to remove the auger drum from the auger shaft, being careful to place the blades on the table in the order they were removed. I then installed the new auger drum on the shaft and re-assembled everything in the reverse order. This was really easy for me because I had replaced the auger previously. (about 2 years ago)

Meat drawer tracks(2) broken on ends
Ordered and received parts. Removed drawer and shelf unit. Removed the glass from top of shelf. Each track(2) slides out of slots on each of the metal shelf brackets. Slid old tracks out of each shelf bracket. Had to use small screwdriver to push down plastic tab that locks track before it would slide all the way out. Each new track had a small tab on each end, which would not let them slide into the slots on the metal shelf brackets. Used a small saw (could also use a file) to remove the 2 tabs on each track. Slid the new tracks onto metal shelf brackets, reinstalled shelf unit, glass top and drawer. Took about 40 minutes.

A broken slide track for one of the drawers
The part came in two days!! It had a couple of little bumps that made it impossible to slide in, so I ground them down and had the entire project finished in less than five minutes.

When I ordered, I was confused about the "Left Side or Right Side statement - thinking I needed to specify so I wrote a short email to customer support asking about it. WIthin an hour, I had a reply.

The customer service and speed of delivery were the best ever!!!

Ice dispenser was freezing up due to the broken door
The repair went pretty easy. You must remove the cover and lift up the electronics to gain access. The instructions were a little vague since the new door/chute didn't have the electric heater wire. I eventually realized that it wasn't needed and replaced the door without further incident.

With a new valve in the back, I now have water and ice at the door after a couple year hiatus!

Thanks.

Compressor making excessive noise
One front roller was flat on one side. Decided to replace all rollers at same time. Placed shims under unit and removed mounting screws for one front and one rear roller. With new rollers in place, I was able to level the refrigerator side to side, but unable to do so, front to back. Left the new front roller in place and reinstalled the old rear roller. Have decided to replace refrigeratorin the near future. This is one of my few repair failures!

Refrigrator door made loud pop when opening and closing.
Simply remove the cover over top hinge and remove the three outer screws (Do NOT remove the center screw). Lift the door off the lower pivot pin. Turn door upside down and replace the upper cam and then the lower cam on the pivot at the bottom of the refrigerator case. Reintall the door by setting the door on the lower pivot and then reinstall the top pivot and cover. VERY easy and what a difference. No more "POP".

Replaced door gasket and hinge closers on Refrigerator door.
I just followed the excellent Video for both parts. The door gasket is tedious but doable, just take a deep breath and press on. Putty knife is handy to push edge of gasket under the plastic lip. The closer devices take 3 minutes - simple R&R. Check the videos - they're pretty clear and detailed.

refrigerator door not working properly
Just as shown on your video.The refrigerator side was not sitting even, clunked and did not seal right. I decided to do.both sides, refrigerator and freezer while I was at it as our refrigerator is about 16 years old. Everything went in easily and saved us a lot of money. Very happy with the parts and repair video. Got the refrigerator nice and cleaned out while we were at it..Us and the refrigerator are breathing easier now..Yeepppeee....

Broken right front track
Remove old track with a flat blade screwdriver by Gently tapping on the tabs to unlock from the shelf bracket. Simply reverse the procedure to install the new track. I used a bench grinder to quickly remove the round button near the front of the track to keep the track flush to the mounting bracket of the glass shelf.
