Fan making noise.
Remove ice maker and all of it's accessories in order to remove the panel covering the fan. Don't drop the screws!
Unscrew the lower fan bracket. You will see the lower red rubber grommet. Hold fan motor with one hand and push the fan off the shaft and into the compartment above. Then remove the round retainer thing below it by holding it and pulling down on the motor assembly. Install new grommet on upper part. and put it all together.
REMEMBER where the fan is on the shaft. It has about one inch of shaft placement. I put mine so that most of it was above the hole that the fan goes into and about 20 percent showing below the sheet metal.
Also check to see if your fan is damaged. Mine was not.
This refrigerator has been awesome! I have had many issues but have been able to fix all of them for the last 15 years!

plastic on front of shelf had been broken for FOUR years
repair (replacement of the broken piece) took less than 2 minutes. I can't believe I waited so long to fix this. Piece was expensive, especially after shipping costs -- but now it looks brand new so I am happy.

The switch was loose ( no spring). The lights did not work.
Unplug the refrigerator. Gently pry old switch out with screw driver. Move wires to connector on new switch with needle nose pliers. Pop it back into the hole. Plug back in. Peek inside to see the lights working.

Clear front plastic cracked
We were able to easily remove the existing clear section of the door shelves and replace them with the part we ordered from partselect.com. We needed to contact customer service during the order – they were efficient and friendly. The parts came quickly and were easily installed.

Freezer working but fridge not cooling.
Totally followed the instructions of the video that came with the sensor. Unplugged the the fridge, defrosted the freezer. Cut off the main sensor that usually is the one that goes out. Installed the the new sensor with new wire terminals, crimped them and covered with electrical tape. Fridge works like a charm. Partsselect is excellent. Saved me a few hundred dollars versus having a GE Tech come and do it.

I broke a door closer while moving the appliance.
When the Part Select website predicted delivery in a couple of days, I doubted - I was prepared to wait a week or so. Incredibly, the part arrived the day after I ordered it. Replacing it was no problem, because the exploded view of the hinge area showed a clear and easy way to remove the broken part and slip in the new. It was just 2 inches of plastic, but if I hadn't found it so easily, the whole appliance would have been useless.
