TBC18GPBRAD General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Start at the inside top corner and slowly work across the top, pushing with thumbs so that you feel it fitting into the groove. Go inch by inch. No speeding on this one. The gasket was so well packed that there were no folds or kinks, so no heating was necessary.

Found the part I needed in only a few minutes on the website and ordered it in less than 5 minutes. The part came within 2 days and I simply removed 2 screwes from the old part and installed the new part and replaced the 2 screws , the easiest repair job that I have ever done in my home. Thanks

I used pliers to pull lightly on the head of the switch, while I inserted a small flat head screw driver into the base of switch and gently worked around the edges to free it from the panel.

I just let the gasket sit on a flat surface for a couple of days. I didn't immerse it in hot water as the directions stated. It went on fairly easy. Just took a bit of patience. The fact that it was packaged nicely without it being jammed into a tight bundle probably was a big factor in the ease of installation.

I followed the directions of Steve on the installation video. He makes it easy to do the repair with his step by step description of the installation. I have repaired three different aging appliances with help of Steve and PartSelect's very helpful Customer Service.
I wish Steve a wonderful retirement and hope PartSelect can find someone as easy to follow for future videos. The videos are priceless for the repairs.

After replacing the light bulb and still no light I manually pushed the light switch button. Intermittently the light would come on then go out. I removed the power plug from the power source then replaced the light switch. I plugged the refrigerator back in and now I open the door the light comes on and stays on until the door is closed.

The old switch was hard to remove. Thinking that I may have to loosen the wires I used a socket wrench to remove a clamp. This was unnecessary. In the end the switch did come out using a large size screwdriver. The problem was that the expanding plastic tongue is not visible from the ouside so you have to try to feel your way around. If i had ordered the replacement before and not afterwards I would have seen this before hand.

I ordered two switches, replaced both with a knife in 10 minutes. Interior light works, thanks.

Freezer worked great but no cooling to refrigerator section. Replaced with part ordered. Phillips head screw driver is all that is needed. Very easy to replace, it's plug and play. New part powered up neither the freezer nor the refrigerator. Went back to old part and atleast freezer still works. New part was no good from factory. The replacement part# matched the original. I attempted to contact PartsSelect but there was no response back.

I removed the old gasket and snapped the new one into the grooves. No tools were required.

PartSelect provided excellent service. It was a GE manufactured part. GE no longer stocked this part.

PartSelect is a terrific appliance repair parts vendor.

I found instructions on the web about how to do this repair, so I ordered the part with confidence. But the instructions simply said "pull out the old switchlight". That was actually somewhat difficult as the clip on the side intended to hold the part in was stubborn. I eventually used a utility to slice off the clip. From that point, it was just a matter of plugging in the new switchlight , which was very simple.

Opened the box delivered by FedEx and placed the door shelf retainer bar end caps in the left and right side and inserted the bar.

Whomsoever, put the retainer in when delivered did not secure it and it had always been loose. One day some frozen food got in the way of the door closing and broke my retainers. Thus, I am so happy now that they are very secure and in place as they should have been upon delivery.

I

Snapped end cap onto bar and installed bar onto freezer door.

I considered going to an appliance parts store but found the part very easily on the internet and had it within 2 days. I am very busy which was very helpful.

I removed the condenser cover removed old fan blade defrosted the condenser section installed new blade and reassembled

I simply snapped the two end pieces into place, attaching the guard rail. It was like putting the pieces of a very easy puzzle together‚ especially for someone like myself who is mechanically challenged.
