Very noisy freezer motor.
I placed the freezer contents temporarily in the refrigerator section. Unplugged the refrigerator. Removed the shelf, removed four Philips screws and the cap in the upper left corner. Disconnected the Molex plug from the refrigerator wall. Placed the panel containing the evaporator motor on the workbench.Removed the plastic panel. Using a 1/4" nutdriver removed the bracket holding the evaporator fan motor. Saved the rubber insulators holding the motor in place. Disconnected the in-line Molex connector. Mounted the new motor using the rubber insulators, reassembled the brackets, replaced the plastic air dissipation panel, reconnected the Molex connector into the refrigerator wall, remounted the panel in the freezer, reloaded the freezer and the noise was no longer and there was the cold air again.

Freezer cold, fridge not
YouTube!! All kinds of good advice in there. Figured out that the evaporator fan was not blowing cold air down into the fridge section. Ordered a new fan motor, got it in less than 2 day. Fairly easy to install. It was the fan motor ONLY- I had to save the fan blade, brackets, screws, even the rubber grommets to re-use. Just don't throw out the old one 'til you're done, is my point. I almost did.

Loss of cooling in freezer and refrigerator sections
Read the troubleshooting guide to identify the probable problem: failure of the evaporator fan motor. Released the clips on the plastic airflow cover and removed the cover from the back of the freezer section. Removed the four screws holding the metal panel at the back of the freezer. Pulled out the panel to a point where the motor ground wires and connector could be disconnected from the fan motor Unscrewed the fan motor from the panel and removed the fan by carefully pulling it off the shaft. Removed the old fan motor from its mounting brackets, placed the fan on the shaft of the new motor and installed the new motor assembly in the fridge. That solved the problem.

Twice I ordered the oven light bulb & each time the light bulb was defected
I had to call for a appointment for repair with GE Appliance because I thought then it . .was something electrical. The technician came out & checked everything out, turned out it was not electrical, The technician went out to his truck got a light bulb from his truck, put it in & it worked. It cost me $121.00 for trip charge from GE appliance for a light bulb that worked, your light bulbs were defective twice. Very disappointed with your products, cost me alot of money for a good light bulb thru GE appliance

The light inside the oven had burned out
0. As a safety precaution, unplug the range or hit the relevant fuse breaker before you start. You might also want to grab a flashlight. Definitely do not try to do this while the oven is hot.
1. Pinch the wire over the light bulb cap to remove it. This is inside the oven at the back.
2. Pop off the hemispherical glass cap.
3. Unscrew the old light bulb, and screw the new light bulb in its place.
4. Put the cap back.
5. Secure the cap by putting the wire back in its slots on the cap.
No tools needed, the cap is just held in place with pressure from the wire.
