GTH18LCDERBB General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

I replaced the fan motor and one of the grommets. When I took the motor out it was clear it was failing because there were metal flakes from the motor on the fan blade. I followed the instructions on the posted video. My model did not have a removable bottom tray in the freezer so that was one less thing to do. Aside from that the video was accurate. I had two minor problems during reinstallation. First, it was very difficult to get the spring clamp back on the fan blade without pushing it against the motor. Recommend you get someone to help hold the spring open while you push it on. Second, the length of wire on the replacement was not exactly the same as the original and I had to move some wires around. Recommend you take a picture of the cable layout before disassembling.

I FOLLOWED YOUR VIDEO............WAS EASY. THANKS

Fast and easy-great video instructions for each part ordered.
All parts perfect fit.
My refrigerator is running like new again-good for another 10 years!

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.

Was concerned that new icemaker was quite a bit different than the one we were replacing. Called GE to confirm it was correct.

Went ahead and installed the unit, using the supplied electric cable adapter.

A little difficult to deal with the extra cable, but everything worked OK and it's making ice normally.

Despite attempts to quiet the 2 year old fan, I went ahead and replaced it. Part Select was prompt with a new one at my door less than 24 hours. It was just the fan motor, so took a couple extra steps to place it in the metal housing, but no problems and though the frig still makes noises, it's not coming from the fan as before.

We have an older model refrigerator and thought it would be impossible to find a replacement ice bucket for the freezer. Not only did you have the exact part but it came unbelieveably fast. I would use your website again!

Followed the instructions on the repair video and it made very easy. Also saved us a lot of money. Thanks for your help.

I ordered the wrong part, the ice maker assembly, because your diagram was not marked properly. I returned the part and you credited my account. Thanks. Ordered the new bucket. It worked fine. Now I have ice and crushed Ice whenever I want. Thanks.

p.s. I didnt use any tools, but to satisfy you I select nut driver.

The original piece was already removed. installation required a little custom fitting as the mounting was slightly different and the copper tubing from the water line needed to be bent to fit. The push in plastic connection (output to the icemaker itself ) was simple ( I was a little leary of it not leaking.)
I plugged in the solenoid connection first
I attached both water lines and checked for fit. Made the adjustments and then screwed the bracket back on to the refrigerator. I could only install one screw but it holds it fine. I did have to trim the hard press board(cardboard) a little to fit the new valve. I believe the board is to protect against dust build up on the mechanical equipment (motor, condenser,etc)

Took back out of freezer compartment, pulled plug and removed old motor, inserted new parts. It was
easy and the parts arrived the day after I ordered
online, even though I chose the cheapest shipping
option. Nothing in my freezer had a chance to thaw
out.

Removed and replaced

NEVER DID. WAS SENT THE WRONG GASKET PART.

TOOK TWO DIFFERENT APPLIANCE PEOPLE TO TELL ME IT WAS THE WRONG GASKET. VERY FRUSTRATING. THEY SAID SHOULD HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS TO COMPANY SINCE I SUPPLIED THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER.

BECAUSE I COULD NOT PRINT A RETURN ( I HAVE NO WORKING PRINTER.) CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID WOULD TAKE TWO WEEKS TO SEND ME RETURN SLIP. NEVER RECEIVED IT WITHIN 30 DAY WINDOW.

LOST MY MONEY. $95+$75= $170 GASKET, SHIPPING PLUS APPLIANCE REPAIR CHARGE. STUCK WITH WRONG GASKET.

DON'T USE THESE PEOPLE...EVER.

After reading the trouble shooting section of the owners manual, I determined, without much difficulty, that the temp control was defective. I checked some local outlets and found the prices running from $36.00 and up. The same part from this site was around $20.00. Guess where I bought mine! It arrived in a timely fashion, and I installed it with no problem, in about 10 - 15 minutes. This was a very easy job, just remove and replace three wires snap the unit into place, and screw the cover on. Tip: I always use you tube or another source to get some instruction, just in case I'm not as smart as I think I am!

two screws and a connector were removed to replace the timer.
Timer was located on the top front of fridge
