GTR18ABMBRWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Checked the defroster coil which is located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment, it was still working. Followed the schematics down to the defrost timer, which is located in the lower front of the refrigerator and tried that. Plugged in the new part and the problem is solved.

I followed the instructions in the video. The decorative parts were slightly different than in the video, such as screws at the top versus the bottom, but all of the working parts were the same. I was somewhat hesitant about applying pressure to remove the locking spring and fan blades and to replace them but the video reassured me and all went well. The refrigerator is operating as quietly as when it was brand new.

The is my 'refreshment' cooler and sits in our garage. Hotter than heck in the summer so the things runs a lot. Started making a little growling noise. Had to partially disassemble the back panel to get to the fan. Touched the exposed shaft for a second and the sound stopped. OK, it's the fan. Went on line, used the (really great) exploded diagram to figure out what I needed. A couple days later the parts show up. Installed the new fan blade and retainer Removed the old motor (couple of mounting screws), connected the new motor (a plug in) and mounted the new motor making sure the grommet on the front and back were engaged. Turned the unit on and everything worked. Reinstalled the foam channel, the back panel and it ran perfectly. Great support (the diagram), fast delivery and fair pricing. Not bad!

emptied the freezer compartment, unfastened the air column panel, then four small bolts to remove the back panel in the freezer, unplugged the motor, unscrewed the motor, installed all in te reverse order and had the compartment refilled and running again in less than a half hour.

First thing I did was un-plug the fan motor located in the freezer compartment and test it for voltage, which it had, telling me the fan motor was shot.I ordered the parts, they arrived in short order and the fan motor was replaced. It took little time and there were no levers, pulleys,servos, gobs of wiring or stacks of gears in a maze of bearings to deal with. Unplug the unit, remove the food rack, ice cube maker(just loosen the 2 screws and lift up)remove the air channel in the center as well as the back panel. Unplug the fan motor and remove the screws securing the motor bracket and lift out. Very simple.

Part came in a couple of days, very fast delivery. Read how other people installed. Only drawback was the youtube video was not available. Thanks again!

Watched video repair by Hotpoint , Everything went like clockwork and was a total success. Repair took exactly 25 minutes.

it was so easy to replace the part and good experience I love when I can trouble shoot and fix the problem

I watched your Video. Thank you.

took of the metal plate four screws also the plastic cover two screws. then took the fan off two screws , then took the fan off the motor, remove the metal clip off the tip off fan

Followed the video by Parts select. Very accurate to remove and replace. The only trouble I ran into was getting the clip back onto the fan blade shaft! Have to improvise and use a wirenut to spread it and it went right onto the shaft. Now working perfectly! Thanks for the video and the fast part service shipping...

I followed the video instructions and the job was done in no time at all

I simply followed the online video instructions.made the job easy and fun.

I had already ordered a replacement evaporator motor from another vendor. I ordered the evaporator fan blade, compression ring and rubber grommets from PartSelect. Apparently this is a pretty common issue with top-freezer refrigerators. Obtaining these parts and possessing the few tools needed saved me at least $100 over having someone else perform the repair. I will further use PartSelect when ordering parts for my other appliances. Thank you.

First I looked at the video on changing out the fan.Made a lot of difference. Everything was covered and made it simple. Wish I had gotten two grommets but the back one was in good shape and worked fine. My hearing isn't great but now I can't even hear the thing run unless the freezer door is open. The shipping was great! You sent it out immediately and in a few days it was here.
