GSA20IBPAFWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

put the gratefruit knife behind the old switch pooped it out pluged the new one in piece of cake 5min.even vacumed the dust off the coil

Replaced both the Defrost Thermostat and Defrost Heating Element. The You Tube repair video clips were extremely helpful for both operations. My difficulty was getting access to the parts that needed to be replaced in a very tight side by side freezer space. Otherwise, the repair went smoothly and the refrigerator is back in normal operation in time to save the perishable food inside.

First I removed the ice tray rack lifting it out of the way to reach the back cover of the fan. Then, the whole back inside panel had to be removed. Two screws removed the fan and bracket from the freezer unit. The missing bumper lid just snapped into place. Replaced everything in reverse order. Pretty easy job.

First I removed the two screws that held the old slide to the refer side wall, (after unloading the shelf and taking out the Veg. draw). I then put the screws in the new slide spots and screwed them into the refer wall using a hand screwdriver (phillips) and put everything back in place. It was about as simple a repair of anything I have had in the past 75 years. I didn't even have to swear.

Removed the two drawers. Unscrewed the side rails that cracked away from the screws.Replaced the new side rails in place screwed in the screws and waalaa all done....easy as pie. Oh by the way I am a woman with little experience of tools...Just have to say the pictures of the parts made it really easy to pick out the correct part. Thanks

First take all your junk off the shelf (with the broken rail of course), take the glass shelf off. Remove screws (phillips). Throw away old rail. Replace new rail, tighten screws. Replace shelf, replace junk. You're done.

Removed each drawer and removed two screws for each rail. Disposed of old rails. Installed new ones using the screws removed from old rails. Put drawers back in and VOILA! Crisper drawers that work! AMEN PARTSELECT!

removed drawer, unscrewed old slide, screwed on new slide, voila! finished! I was very pleased with PartSelect -- ordering was easy, the correct part came quickly, and packaged very well. All of life should work so smoothly!

I removed food from shelf over crisper drawer, then removed shelf and crisper drawer, removed two phillips head screws in right side rail and replaced rail.

Easy as 1-2-3

This was so easy! I got the part number off of the broken part, ordered online, and it was delivered the next day!!! So fast! Then I just unscrewed the broken part and reused the existing screws to install the new one. It took about 5 min.

Thanks for making everything so fast and easy!

I removed the screws and replaced the rails one at a time.

Took the drawer out, unscrewed 2 screws, replaced the part, put the drawer back in.

I removed the two screws from the old broken rail using a regular star screw driver and replaced the new rail you sent us. Took only 2 mints to do all.

The drawer slide broke and I just removed the 2 screws that were still in the side of the refrigerator. I then screwed the new drawer slide in the same holes and it was done!! Simple, simple....even for me, the housewife.... ; )

Must have spent 10+ hours solid looking up info on the internet. Our ice maker had broken years ago, the door flap had broken years ago and I thought this was the end of a fridge after just 6 years 8 months.

GE offered a "broken appliance" warranty for $379 for one year, with no guarantee that when a technician came to look at it, the repairs would be covered by the warranty!!! No thank you, you just want me to buy a new fridge. Okay, challenge on, I'll fix it myself.

I took everything from the back of the freezer out. Spent an hour defrosting (note: use hair dryer next time). Ruled out a motherboard problem (even though it appears I have the old style motherboard), removed dust build up from fan intake. I could not get the heater to come on, so I cut off the thermostat defroster and connected the wires together. The only way to get the heater on was to set the freezer control to 0 / zero.

So, ordered part from partselect.com and it arrived the next day!!!. Installed and unit appears to be defrosting okay after a week.

So now I'm back to order the ice maker part. The door flap will wait for another time.

Note: I've put in the time for novices and recognizing how the freezer is constructed.

Time includes taking everything out of the freezer section, unscrewing everything, diagnosing problem, fixing the problem, putting everything back. I would say allow 3-4 hours and pat yourself on the back if you do it quicker.

Note#2, if you have a large build up there is a hole in the floor of the freezer section. If the water does not evaporate it will run out of the hole and into your wooden floors! Place towels both inside and outside the unit just in case!
