GTS22FBPBRWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Disconnected the refrigerator for a few hours. On back of frezer compartment unscrew 4 screw to get access to Old defrost thermostat (D. T.). I cut the two wires with pliyers atached to D. T. Peel them about one inch both the old and new D. T. With plyier. Color coded put them together. I used those electrical cap wires to attach them toguether an electrical tape around it to prevent any moisture. Now working like new. Expend approximately $25. And 20 minutes of my time. (I was being charged for the repair. $250.) Now is working like new. Thanks

Unplug the unit and pull away from wall. Remove the screws from the lower back panel. Locate the condenser fan motor and the bracket holding it in place. Unplug the wire clamp connecting the motor to the power supply. Remove the screw holding the bracket onto the condenser coil. Pull the entire assembly from the unit. Pull the fan off the old motor. Remove the motor bracket from the larger bracket. Replace the motor. Assemble again with the rubber grommets, motor bracket, and fan. Reinstall larger bracket, now with new motor, into the unit. Ensure the bracket prong is received into the coil bracket. If all aligns well, screw the bracket back onto the coil. Plug the new motor into the power supply. Temporarily plug in refrigerator to confirm motor functions. Unplug again and replace lower panel.

Applied the new part to the 2 sides and it snapped in place

I sent back the other one with the print out for FedEx that your company e-mail to me and then i put the new one in, very easy took a few min's
Thank you Mr. Phillip Lewis

Turned the wire protector to the side. Turned out the old bulb and replaced it with the new. Turned the wire protector back in place and I'm like new.

I replaced the compressor fan.

Find a video on youtube. Remove 6 screws. Pull the Styrofoam part up before removing the panel. Unplug and Remove the fan assembly.
You will need a NUT DRIVER to take the bracket off the backing plate.
I ordered the red grommet and the red bumper. You need TWO of the red grommets if that is the problem. My freezer was about 8 years old, and the grommets were worn and compressed, the bumper was not. Replacing these parts DID NOT FIX the problem. I needed a new motor.
I probably disassembled and reassembled this stuff about 7 times before I got all the parts and tools. Each time I had to unload the freezer.

Removed shelf from refrigerator, screwed on new shelf support, replaced shelf. Got a kiss from my wife for fixing her 'fridge.' Easy!

Remove back cover on frig, unplug wire on fan motor, remove one 1/4 screw from top right corner of fan cage, fan cage will come out with a little twist, take note of tabs on fan cage for reinstall, remove two more 1/4 screws, take care to watch where rubber bushings are located on motor and ground wire location, fan blade will pull off of fan shalft easily, install in reverse. Very simple fix.

Remove ice maker and all of it's accessories in order to remove the panel covering the fan. Don't drop the screws!
Unscrew the lower fan bracket. You will see the lower red rubber grommet. Hold fan motor with one hand and push the fan off the shaft and into the compartment above. Then remove the round retainer thing below it by holding it and pulling down on the motor assembly. Install new grommet on upper part. and put it all together.
REMEMBER where the fan is on the shaft. It has about one inch of shaft placement. I put mine so that most of it was above the hole that the fan goes into and about 20 percent showing below the sheet metal.
Also check to see if your fan is damaged. Mine was not.
This refrigerator has been awesome! I have had many issues but have been able to fix all of them for the last 15 years!

Separately (from a different site) purchased new compressor fan and motor. I purchased the grommets here because the other site listed the grommets as temporarily out of stock. I did watch one of the videos on PartSelect about the grommet replacement. Repair was pretty simple, biggest challenge was getting to the screw on the far side of the motor. Removed the two screws holding the fan motor into place. Removed motor and blade. Reinstalled with new fan blade, new grommet and new motor.

remove shelf above tray to access rail. remove broken rail. use screws from broken rail to attach rail to shelf.

I removed the pan with the gliders attached. I used a socket set to remove the broken glider from the pan. Then, I put the new glider on and tightened the socket and put the whole apparatus back in the refrigerator. I am a 75 year old woman and had no trouble doing this myself.

As per the video , I unplugged the appliance and defrosted the freezer . Then removed the shelves and back from the freezer. Located and removed the old parts and installed the new ones which took about 20 minutes. Reassembled the appliance, plugged it in and it was cold within a few hours. Thanks for all the help
