Water Leaking on Floor From Under Fridge
Water was leaking on the floor from under the fridge and I noticed that the cubes were very small and the ice maker was taking much too long to make ice. After pulling the fridge out from the wall, I removed the bottom back plate (about 7 screws) and checked the ice maker refill tube that goes from the inlet valve at the bottom of the fridge (left side) into the ice maker at the top right side of the fridge. The 1/4" tube had split 2 " from the inlet valve where it makes a sharp "U" turn on its' way up to the ice maker. I turned off the ice maker by raising the handle on the ice maker and turning off the 1/2" supply tube from the house supply pipe. I then tried splicing the tube by cutting it at the split and installing a 1/4" barbed splice on the two ends, but could not get a water tight connection. I then decided to order a new refill tube from Parts Select. The part arrived in 1 day (FANTASTIC SERVICE) and I installed it in about 10 minutes with no problem. (GE was out of stock on this part.) To begin, I disconnected the old tube at the water inlet valve (just push in the quick connect and then pull out) and proceeded to disconnect the other end at the top of the fridge where the ice maker is located. The molded end is adhered to the back with a sticky adhesive and must be scraped off with a putty knife before it can be pulled out. Once this is done, the new refill tube goes in the exact same way. One caution- just be sure to test and adjust the length of the white supply tube (I had to lengthen it by 1 ") before peeling the protective paper off the adhesive. It must be long enough to reach the white plastic cup that fills the ice maker. The inlet valve end of the 1/4" tube at the bottom just pushed into the quick connect connection. I then turned the ice maker back on inside the fridge by lowering the handle and also turned the house supply valve back on. I waited for the ice maker to call for water and then checked for leaks. NO LEAKS- job done!

Freezer And Frig Both Warm And Compressor Would Not Run
I replaced the thermostat, temperature sensor, and the run capacitor. . . Refrigerator still not cooling. I checked the start relay and measured the input terminals on the compressor for the correct resistance. . . Everything measured correctly. In a last ditch effort before calling for service, I pulled the main board, inspected it and saw the problem right away. One leg on the compression capacitor had desoldered itself. Got out my soldering iron and applied a good amount of solder to that point. Put everything back together and turn it on. . . Problem fixed. The compressor kicked on right away and started cooling the refrigerator.

My fridge was colder than my freezer
I can't tell you how luck I feel after finding your website I ordered the temperature sensor after watching one of your videos on-line and the repair went just as on the video. I pulled the "bad" sensor out, and replaced it with the new one. Keep in mind that this is the first time I ever touch an appliance, needless to say I'm feeling pretty good about that! All in all it took me about 20 minutes to complete my repair and it now has been about 4 days and the refrigerator is working like new again!
