dropped something on the light switch and it broke off
we just pried out the old switch and pulled it out the rest of the way with a pair of needle nose pliers. Pulled off the wires on the broken switch and reattached to the new one and just slid/clicked it back into the hole.

Light would not work when I opened door.
I lifted the old switch with a flat screwdriver, attached wires, and popped into place. Saved 80 bucks for a repair call.

Broken shelf glass
It was a perfect fit at 13 1/8 x 22 3/4 inches.

The glass must be forced under the white plastic drawer housing. Otherwise it will appear to be too long at the back. A gentle nudge will seat it properly.

Condensation freezing on the ceiling of the freezer, indicating the gasket allowing warm air into the freezer.
Do not uninstall the old gasket until you have read all of these instructions. Upon receipt of the new gasket, compare the model number of the GE refrigerator to the paperwork included. Unpack the gasket by hand to ensure not to damage the new gasket. There is no specified top or bottom, left or right to the gasket but there is a front side (to the freezer face) and a back side (attaches to freezer door). Hold the new gasket up to the installed old gasket to ensure the size is identical (close in size WILL NOT work). Once the size is verified, pull the old gasket from the door, starting at any corner. The front side of the gasket is broader than the back side which presses into the door slot. Make sure that the door slot is clean to ensure a perfect fit. Recommend the new install begin at a top corner. Gently press the new gasket into the slot along the top. Do a side next, working the gasket in along the bottom to the last corner. Ensure the freezer face is clean for the best seal. Make sure the new gasket is dry, a wet gasket may freeze and pull the new gasket out! A good seal is verified by the "suction" when trying to open the door. A good seal is also indicated by no moisture/condensation the following day.

Fresh food section lights were all out, but the bulbs tested good elsewhere.
I popped the switch out using the blade of a small screwdriver and noticed that it connected with two wires via a slide on connector for each one. I noted the info on the old switch to identify which wire went to which terminal. I held each wire with a pair of pliers while I pulled the wire connector off the terminal on the old switch. I connected the two wires to the correct terminals on the new swith, and popped the switch back into the door frame. Easy, easy, easy and saved the $40 service call + parts cost!

Light switch shorting out causing open door alarm to go off
Easy fix, but they don't give you plenty of wire to work with. When I pulled the switch out it only had about an inch of wire that came with it. meaning if I didn't have a grasp on the wires as I was removing the switch they would have slipped back up the opening

Refrigerator light not working
1. Order replacement board so it's on hand.
2. Unplug appliance or turn off appropriate circuit breaker.
3. Remove all items on top shelf of refrigerator to allow yourself working room.
4. Remove one phillips head screw, at front of control panel bezel.
5. Allow bezel to hang down a little so you can disconnect multi-pin connector, by squeezing the tabs on opposite sides and pulling down. Note black dot on tab for easier orientation of replacement connector.
6. Gently pull the entire assembly forward to remove. It has two pins that align and hold the back of the assembly to the deck.
7. Place assembly on a table with the control board facing up.
8. Remove plastic push pin that holds protective cover over the control circuit board.
9. Remove temperature control knob by pulling straight out.
10. Push back 2 locking tabs at the front of the control circuit board so it will become loose.
11. Pry up cable tie mount that holds wire bundle to the assembly.
12. Free thermistor wire from it guides and flip over the assembly that is holding the sensor.
13. Peel up the tape holding the wire in the molded groove so wire/sensor can be removed. It is not necessary to remove the tape since you will use it again.
14. Remove the two wires that connect to the door switch at the front left of the assembly. It's a tight fit, but you can remove the spade connectors.
15. Now the circuit board assembly can be removed and set aside.
16. Optional - at this time you can use the continuity tester to verify the door switch is working properly.
17. Now install the new control board by reversing the removal steps.

Refrigerator door switch went bad
It was very simple! I assessed the situation and gathered my tools for the job. I used a flat head screwdriver, pliers, and electrical tape. I used the flat head screwdriver to release the switch from its location, the pliers to take the electrical terminations apart. I taped the wires individual so that I would not loose them in the door, also not to short them out. I then unpackaged the new switch to install. Pulled the tape off one of the of the terminals while holding the wire, and attached it to the new switchs terminal post. Did the same with the other wire, then snapped the new switch back into place. Immediately had results. I opened and closed the door a few times in amazement that something so annoying such as a light in your fridge could be so easy to fix. Most of all, having a business to rely on to find the part and deliver in a timely fashion. Thank you Partselect.com, you were outstanding!!!

Bottom door hinge was lost during move
I had lost the bottom hinge during a move and so I rigged the hinge using an old tv antenna and the door never really quite worked right and it was VERY annoying. I stumbled upon this site and was surprised how inexpensive the part I needed was. I was very impressed with the speed of shipping and the install took maybe 5 minutes. The fridge works as good as new. Thanks a ton!

Cristal fell and broke when cleaning at sink
Installation was super easy. I just removed first both drawers and then the base where the glass was installed, placed the new glass there carefully making sure that it fitted inside the gap to secure it and place everything back to the fridge the way it was. Presto!

Refrigerator light not coming on
Our daughter spilled juice on the refrigerator light button. It started with the light coming on very slowly and then not at all. We popped off the old button with a flat head screwdriver, plugged in the new one. Works perfect. Can't believe how inexpensive and easy the fix was.
