TBX21MAXARWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Condenser fan motor was running slow. This was not a problem included in your list of possible problems. I thought that maybe the capacitor was bad but have no way to check it. So I ordered one. when I received it, I installed it. That was not the problem. So I ordered a fan motor and installed it. That was not the problem. So finally I ordered a control board and installed it. That solved the problem. So maybe you should put "cond.fan motor runs slow" in your list of possible faults and what causes that problem. Capacitor was easy to install, simply remove the cover plate, flip off retaining wire, unplug the capacitor and replace. Fan motor was a bit more difficult. It must be removed from mount after fan scroll is removed. Remove one screw that holds scroll, bend the top down and remove. Then pull hard on fan blade to remove it. It must be installed on new motor. Two screws in frame mount can be removed with some effort if you have a 1/4" drive ratchet with a Phillips screwdriver bit. Then pull frame open and install new motor. Push fan blade on new motor shaft hard. Replacing control board was easy. I used a pair of long nose pliers with 90 degree bend to get mounting pins closed to pull board off.

Excellent instructions from your video. Replaced gasket once without removing door quite harder to do. Placed gasket in sun to warm it up, didn't have to heat it in hot water. Much easier once doors are removed and replaced gasket on large table or bench. Thanks for the video and your prompt delivery of part.

Followed the PartsSelect how-to video to the letter., using clothes dryer option to soften the gasket before installation. Installing the new gasket a little tedious, but not difficult. Video was dead on as to method and tools.

The hardest part was figuring out the part needed from so many little pictures. The actual repair, a piece of cake!

Sears told me the part was no longer available. I came to your web site and then called your customer service. A very nice customer service lady helped me find the part. Very simple to pull the old one off and reinstall the new one with a rat trap behind the unit. Just in case it came back. Could have been a client but probably was a rat. Thanks for the great service.

Placed slide assembly on table and followed the steps shown on your video.Thanks

I watched some videos online trying to find one that pertained to my door gasket and found a couple. After that it was a snap. The old gasket came off easy and the new one went back on easy. I did however submerse it in hot water first to kind of even things out.

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.

Unscrewed the old rail, cleaned everything and installed the new rail

Removed rer cover, unplugged starter assembly from side of compressor and replaced unit with a new one. Plugged fridge in and it works good.

Took the old frame apart - two screws - replaced broken side rail and put frame back in frig. replaced glass shelf and bins. Frig good as new. 15 minutes. Pretty good for and 81 year old lady.

Your online helpful hints made it easy as pie.

Took out the vegetable bins, the glass and the shelf rack. Replaced the left side and the center glide. Worked easily.

The repair is somewhat self-explanatory. The old/broken rail which was broken needed to be unscrewed in front and rear, and the new one simply inserted and screwed in. Simple installation. What I REALLY wanted to share, is how impressed I was with the FAST service/speed that the parts arrived. Originally, we thought that just the middle drawer slide needed replacing, so I ordered the middle one and installed it. After installing it we realized that the right slide was broken too, so I ordered that. I placed the order on Saturday and the part was delivered to us on Tuesday!!! SUPURB service!! I will DEFINITELY order my next parts from PartSelect again!! Thanks for wonderful experience!

Removed slide from frame and replaced slide. Simple and easy.
