GTH21GCEWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Turned off power, removed cover from Ice maker, checked resistance across thermostat for zero (read open), all other switches read proper value (when activated). Ordered and received thermostat. Removed Ice Maker from freezer, removed two screws holding ice tray to Control Assembly. Removed Thermostat and replaced with new one. Applied Silicone Sealant to face of Thermostat for adhesion to ice tray when assembled. Remounted Ice Tray to Control Assembly and remounted in freezer. Works Great...

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.

First I turned the refrigerator and water line off. Then moved to the freezer section, followed the directions, removed the two screws. Directions state to not remove them but I had to in this case. Unplugged the ice maker and removed it from the freezer. I installed the two mounting screws then tried to plug the electrical connection back in but had to use the adaptor cord furnished in the kit. The cord was a little long but I tucked it in and mounted the ice maker. Turned it on then turned the refrigerator and water back on and in a few hours had ice! Very easy to do!

First turn off the power, remove the ice tray, remove the two screws holding the ice maker to the side of the freezer, use the screw driver to gently open the electrical clip for the power cord inside the freezer, remove the complete unit from freezer, bend the old stripper from the holding pin- it is flexible- it will bend, replace the new stripper on the holding pin and bend into the slot to hold it firmly, no water will come out from the fill cup into the freezer, plug in the power cord, mount back to side of freezer, you are done.

removed 3 screws unplug and remove old unit. install two screws install new ice maker, tighten screws plug in and turn on. had ice in 20 min.

Bing , Bang, Boom.

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

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.

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.

Ordered the icemaker replacement. unplugged the unit, followed the simple instructions and got it done in less than 30 minutes. It did take a LONG time to start making ice. But it's working now.

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.

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.

I pulled the refrigerator away from the wall and turned off the water to the refrigerator and unplugged it from the wall. After removing the icebucket from the freezer I located the mounting screws, loosened them, unplugged the electrical connection below the icemaker and carefully removed it from the freezer. I unpacked the replacement icemaker, matched it against the original and attached the electrical connection adapter. Using the slots provided on the new icemaker I placed it over the mounting screws after aligning the water inlet pipe properly. I tightened the mounting screws while maintaining the icemaker in a level position. I plugged in the electrical connector. Then I replaced the icebucket, plugged in the refigerator back into the 110VAC outlet, turned on the water and repositioned the refrigerator in it's normal position.

Performed self test.turned off ice maker switch four 5 minutes.Then turn on switch,within 10 seconds,pushed ice paddle 3 times,with 1 second in between each push.Push all the way back and release. Ice maker should cycle and squirt water. My ice maker did neither.I unplugged cord from fridge.So i replaced the ice maker.After a couple of screws had ice again !

Note: Small socket set works better than a Phillips screwdriver.
Empty freezer into fridge, unplug fridge.
Remove fan cover (snaps in place) and 4 back panel screws.
Unplug fan connector and remove fan bracket screws, slide fan off.
Swap in new fan motor using existing rubber insulators.
Re-assemble bracket, fan connector, back panel and fan cover.
Plug fridge back in first to verify everything working and re-fill freezer.
You're done! Enjoy the peace and quiet!
