TBX22ZPLRAD General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

I started at the compressor and replaced the overload and the Ptcr first and that did not make the compressor start running again, so I replaced the capasitor and it still did not start, so I bit the bulett and replaced the Main Control Board and that is what I should have checked first, when I removed the old one I found a little burnt spot on the back that I could not see from the front. The new one did not look exactly like the old one, it had two more wire terminals than the old one, but just leave them blank and everything will work just fine!

Had to e-mail GE for electrical schematic. Checked voltages to compressor. Jumpered compressor to see if it would even come on. Found bad run capacitor. Fixed.

The hardest part was figuring out the part needed from so many little pictures. The actual repair, a piece of cake!

take fan out,put new in

Both PartSelect and GE advisors told me to remove/loosen screws holding gasket to the door. This model has no screws. After pulling to old gasket from a corner (very difficult) I found that it is held in place by pressing it into a channel running around the door. Very difficult to line up the proper parts and very difficult to slide/adjust it into place. When finally installed, one corner of the gasket protruded so that the door was not flush and actually kept the door from closing. I tried to push/pull it into place. No good. Finally I tried to hammer the gasket back to make it flush. No good, as it evidently crushed the magnets providing the necessary holding power and produced gaps. I finally had to get foam window stripping plus heavy duty magnets to pull door to frame. Result: door closes OK but some moisture collects around door.

Excellent instructions from your video. Replaced gasket once without removing door quite harder to do. Placed gasket in sun to warm it up, didn't have to heat it in hot water. Much easier once doors are removed and replaced gasket on large table or bench. Thanks for the video and your prompt delivery of part.

Gently pry out switch in door jam with screwdriver and pull both connectors off and put connectors on new switch then push switch back into the hole. Looked it up on the internet and video showed how to and also had link to new part, ordered and less than a week later the fridge is bright again. I have an older freezer also and it seems that they all use the same switches. Very Very easy

replaced the screw and covered it with the plug. The pleasant surprise was that the requisite screw plug were available, especially after over 10 years.

Connected the 2 wires and pushed in the switch until it clicked.

Less than 5 minutes needed to remove cracked rail and replace with new rail. Must have a star wrench to perform task. Very simple task!

Manually snapped the plastic gasket into the slots of the refrigerator. The part fit perfectly after a slight adjustment.

Pulled out old socket.pushed in new one.

layed fridge face first on a chair removed cover with flat head screwdriver unplugged part replaced with new part replaced cover returned to upright and plugged in

I was a bit concerned that I might have selected the wrong part. There were several pictures of rails to choose from with slight variations on the website. Fortunately, it was a correct selection and arrived sooner than expected. The assembly was easy to remove from the refigerator. Two screws that held the slide in place were removed and the replacement was installed within minutes. I am very pleased that I chose to use PartSelect.

easy pry out, disconnect wiring, connect on new switch and press in switch.
