No ice cubes, ice down the inside back of freezer, constant buzzing noise.
Followed instructions from an existing video on this site. This site is very helpful both with regard to diagnostics and then removal/installation of the failed part.

The water dispenser was very slow
I Googled G.E. refrigerator water dispenser slow
There was a UTube video where the guy described the issue I had. Plus step by step instructions on repairs. Sure enough, I had the same issue.
Repairs were simple.
Shut the water line off, removed water line , drained the water out, after loosing the water tube from the control valve, I pulled the valve out a little so I wouldn’t get water in the electrical connections. Pulled 2 screws out of the bracket where the lines go into the refrigerator. From the inside, I removed the water filter cover, removed the filter, 2 screws holding the filter head in place. Pulled lines and filter head out. The u-tube video was very good. 2 things I did different was I pulled the control valve out a little so the water wouldn’t get into the electrical connections. The other, I used a nut driver to remove and install the filter heads

The Icemaker failed to make ice
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.

Freezer coils were iced up,was not cold enough,suspected the heater was the culprit
I had looked at videos on you tube,it looked simple enough. I mostly do my own repairs so I gave it a shot. the job went well,if you do not fix things around the house don't try to do the repair,find a handyman in your neighborhood to help you out,cheaper than calling a refrigeration man. It is not that hard to do.

Broken Drawer
All I had to do was slide it in. But that's not what made me so thrilled with your site. What won my devotion was your site's ease of use (I couldn't find what I was looking for on GE's site) and the promptness of delivery. I will certainly use you again and recommend your services to my friends!

Refrigerator temp went to 60 degrees
Freezer section defroster heater was inoperative.
turned off the refrigerator by turning the right knob in top rear refrigerator to 0.
Used hose on a vacuum sweeper blower side to feed warm air into the bottom rear section. Removed the top plastic panel behind the ice maker to allow air flow to exit through the fan to defrost the freezer coils.
Placed a flat oven pan into the area beside the vacuum hose and sponged up the melted frost water. After 30 minutes, water ceased to drain.
Removed freezer shelves, and 5 screws on rear freezer wall. It took about 2 minutes to remove the heater & braw assembly at the bottom of the coils. 2 screws have to be removed and wires just clip off and back on again. Replaced the 2 screws.
Replace rear coil wall cover and turn on the refrigerator to 5 to 7 and replace cover and shelves.

The refrigerator wouldn't stay closed because the gasket was worn
Looked it up on You Tube and basically followed the very simple instructions. Two minor differences: 1) I took the old gasket off while the door was still attached to the fridge. And 2) because it was a side-by-side freezer/ fresh food, I didn't have to take off the freezer door at all and the fresh food door was only attached at the top with 2 screws covered by a hinge cap. So I undid the screws and lifted it off the lower pin. We put the door on a table handle down and slightly off the table edge. Inserting the v-shaped rubber part of the gasket into the groove was easy- pinching it together with my fingers with a little hammer tap at the corners. Reinstalled the door and voila. 27 minutes!
Most of my DIY projects take twice as long as expected. Much time is spent taking off the old part then not as easy as expected to replace the new part. This was a breeze!

Light switch broke when I dropped a jar of jam on it.
The three bulbs would then remain on, so I loosened them to keep them off. I didn't know that the cooling system also would stop when the door was open, so for two days only the side freezer was operational. When I discovered that, I hot glued the switch button off, while I searched for a replacement part. The replacement part was an exact duplicate. A simple prying out of the old switch - using a screwdriver, and the reconnection of the two wires connectors to the new part, and clicking back in place ... done. Seriously, it took two minutes.
