TFT20SABBWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Emptied glass shelf, removed , removed old rail. Put new rail in with original screws ,then glass shelf. Done

This is a side-by-side unit. After blocking up the closed refrigerator door to the correct height to match the freezer door, I removed the lower hinge pin assembly by taking out two bolts. Save the shims (my had two) for the new hinge pin. Then remove the cam riser from the bottom of the door by taking out two bolts. Install the new cam riser on the bottom on the door. Then install the new hinge pin assembly. Total time 15 minutes.

I followed the many post on replacing this part and everything went well. I had a little trouble getting the hinge post into the new hinge assembly, but with a slight adjustment it fell into place. I checked to see what tools I would need to do the job and had them ready before I even started. I removed the door and had it back on in maybe 10 minutes and I am not exactly Mr. Fix It. The only advice I can add to what everyone else has said is you should look the job over a little before you take the door off and have your tools ready. Then you won't have the door off for too long. I'd like to thank this site and everyone who gave advice on how to fix this problem. It made the whole job very easy.

Removed old part & screwed in new rail.
I would like to mention that the speed in which my order was sent was fantastic & your website was really easy to use. Which not being a very savvy computer person is a real compliment!! A pleasure doing business with you. I would highly recommend your company.

It was really easy for me....my son told me what part I needed. I ordered it, and he installed it!

blocked up refrigerator door.removed old hinge, and put new one on,with socket set.

I removed the broken shelf that I had duct-taped in place until the replacement arrived. I simply slipped the four little notches (2 on each side of the shelf) into their appropriate slots and--voila!--my new shelf was installed!

Removed top hinge cover and screws. Lifted door off bottom hinge and replaced bottom hinge assembly.

I blocked the bottom of the door(CAREFULLY!!) in position to elevate the door & take strain off the lower hinge & pivot post, while maintaining proper door alignment. I removed the two screws holding the hinge & post assembly from the frame, saving the screws & spacer for reuse. I removed the two screws holding the upper cam bracket on the door, again keeping the attaching parts. I installed and carefully aligned the new cam, original spacer & retaining plate to the lower edge of the door. I installed the new hinge & post assembly using the existing spacer & screws. I aligned the door & seal while checking the gap from top to bottom and from side to side. I carefully tighten the screws and rechecked the gap between the door & frame as well as the alignemnt of the door seal. Once satisfied with the alignment, I finished tightening the screws. I emphasize care and extreme caution in reinstalling the screws, they are a self-tapping (self-threading) type of fastener and this requires caution to make sure they are started and installed in the original threads of the door & frame. I put them all in using only finger pressure until I was positive they were started straight, going into the original threads, NOT trying to cross-thread or cut new threads, the structure is too thin for that and stripped threads will result! The door alignment and gap spacing is critical, make sure to check these adjustments carefully to ensure proper operation. Total time of repair, less than 15 minutes. I hope I have not over-simplified this because I have over 55 years of Automotive shop experienced and an ASE Certified Master Auto & Truck Technician...:-)

First I watched the video and everything on that video was correct. I took off the hinge cap with a Philips screw driver on the top of the refrigerator. Then I took out two 5/16" screws with a socket wrench. Removed the hinge and the door lifted off. On the bottom of the door took out one screw and loosened the other one and replaced the Cam Riser. Put everything back together and it worked perfectly.

-empty door of food - remove top hinge-open door and lift upward-remove lower hinge assembly-add new part to lower hinge assembly- put door back on lower hinge pivot- close door line up door parallel with other door- replace upper hinge

Set up two saw horses to put door on. Unloaded door shelves. removed upper hinge, and lifted door from lower hinge, placed door on horses. changed lower hinge on refrigerator. put door back on lower hinge, and closed door. Put upper hinge back on. Reloaded door shelves. It took more time to Unload, and Load door shelves than to replace Hinge.

removed door, replaced hinge, replaced door.

Lifted out the door to release the one remaining tab, inserted the new bin, and done!

I followed the link to the how-to video that was provided on the parts-page, watched it and then followed the recommended steps. It couldn't have been easier -- and I'm not a "handyman." Thanks to PartSelect, I was able to diagnose the problem, find the part that was needed and figure out how to install it. I'm a grateful customer.
