Fantastic customer service!

I can't say enough about the customer service I received. They walked me through the process step by step. Also, very easy to install. We did it in 15 minutes. This was after paying an appliance repair company $140.00 to come out and tell me the part was not available. Thank you Sears!

Super quick shipping, super easy to install!!!
February 28, 2021|RachelS, Melbourne, FL
This process was so easy! Checked the model # online, ordered the product. Came in faster than anticipated. It literally took my husband less than 5 minutes to install, 2 screws, that as it. This would have cost at least 300 to have a repairman come to the house!

Perfect fit! Easy installation!
July 13, 2020|Undisclosed, Utah
Just what I needed! It fits my Samsung RF261BEAESR perfectly. The bonus is that it was super easy to install. It took me longer to find a screw driver than it did to replace the part.
