Freezer door not sealing at bottom right side
if you removed the inner section of the door for the drying process then it is possible that the door has warped and you have locked it in that shape on installation of the inner section
loosen off the screws and twist the door so that it touches all the way around , then retension the screws
make adjustments at the hinges after that
Water accumuluation under the fridge
at the back there should be a drip tray if this is full it will leak onto the floor it could be this, it could also be the drain in the fridge is blocked on the back there should be a self made into the back with a hole in it this is to go to the vapure, the part i was on about before, the tank is on top of the pump and its hot so turns the water in to vapour, usually there is not a lot of water but if the pipe becomes blocked it stores the water in the pipe and then lets it go in one full step over flowing the container. to clean the pipe out you can use a flex line or a net curtain rod, push it down and up the hole a few times the blockage will fool to the bottom or come out on the flex.
3-1/2 weeks ago the temp. setting display inside
I would think that the part he is ordering would be the main control board otherwise known as the jazz board. They commonly fail but seldom lose the display and usually just stop defrosting the unit. This can be verified by listening closely, and setting the control to zero or the off position and you will still hear the compressor running. Reach up and smack the control and it will go off. part # is WPW10503278 and the only thing I can think of is that he would be ordering a sensor as well. The third part is a mystery to me so update and let us know please!
Ice dispenser stuck on
Either the paddle for the ice/water dispenser is stuck or you have a bad microswitch behind the dispenser.
To stop the ice/water from dispensing open the freezer door and press or hold the child lock button down. Once the unit is in child lock mode you can shut the door without energizing the dispenser.
Another option is to remove the upper freezer door hinge cover and disconnect the wire connector up there. This will remove voltage from the dispenser as well. Then either replace the paddle or switch. Sometimes the paddles/switches will get stuck because of splash up from ice dropping in sugary drinks.
Fridge and freezer not cooling properly!
Sounds like a problem with defrost system , It could be one of there components , timer, heater, or defrost thermostat. try advancing the timer, down at the lower area behind the grill. with a screw driver by putting it into the dial advance and turn it till it clicks and the unit shuts off. now you should see red glow at bottom of back panel in freezer or here sizzling . if this does not happen then it will be the heater or the thermostat.
Bottom freezer not keeping ice cream frozen
Check out freezer temp - should be around zero degrees. Fact that ice maker is still working would indicate that the temps are at least about 10 degrees. If the door seals are tight and the self defrosting mechanism is working properly, the unit may be low on refrigerant. I had similar situation where stuff was frozen but my ice cream was mushy even though unit was running 24 hours a day.
