water leaking from under dishwasher
Water was leaking from under the GE dishwasher, but once we pulled it out, had apparently been going on for a little while. Turning the water off to the dishwasher made it stop, so it was happening even when the unit was not running, potentially indicating somewhere early in the path of the water to and into the machine.
Indeed, inspecting the water inlet vale showed a slow leak. Getting the replacement part was fine, and it fit the electrical, water inlet (existing 90-degree water inlet elbow), and water outlet connections just fine - but the original machine screws that held on the original water inlet valve did not work. It took a little research to figure out the new type of screw required, which was apparently a 10/16 Type AB, which seemed to be a less common type of sheet metal screw (with a point), as opposed to the original flat-ended machine screws. So, after ordering those separately (which were a bit expensive), it went together fine.
A note on the water inlet valve part just indicating the the threading on those parts has changed over time, so potentially ordering the screws to attach it might be worthwhile, would be good information to add about the water inlet valve.

Door shelf clip had broken
This shelf has been broken for about a year now and my husband tried several little quick fixes that would work for a while and then the shelf would fall again. A quick search online led me to your website, the part arrive within two days, and the shelf was fixed in less than ten minutes. It's working great. We'll definitely keep you in mind for the future.

The fill cup kept breaking and we couldn't find the part. Did a google search and found Partselect.com who had it.
Slide it over the fill hose and just line it up and put it in the slot.

Broken shelf support on the refrigator door
I matched the part I needed throught your web site. Then I called and spoke to a customer support person, and gave my personal information to her. I do not like giving my credit card numbers over the internet. Your site allows me to do that.

- Nutdriver
Broke ice maker supply tube while moving fridge.
Used nut driver to remove two screws at top of tube, and the three screws holding composite cover on back of fridge. Pulled out the upper portion of tube, pulled up on fitting and removed lower portion of tube. Put upper spout portion of new supply tube into position, replaced two screws, pushed lower portion of tube into locking fitting on supply valve solenoid. Replaced composite cover with three screws, and was done. Entire job took less than 5 minutes. It took longer for me to find my nut driver set, than it took to do the repair. I ordered the part online, and it was delivered to my door in a lightning fast 36 hours. Hopefully I won't ever need any more appliance parts, but with your easy to navigate website, fast shipping, and fair prices, you have won me over as a customer. I will refer you to friends because of your high speed, low drag, zero defects, excellent service. Thank you very much. Rich.

refrigerater could not defrost
I order the parts and went from there. Actually a very nice friend of mine did the labor. It took longer to defrost it in order to get things running again. I was without my refrigerator for 4 months had I known the parts would be so reasonable instead of what a repair man wanted to charge I would have done it sooner. thanks

Refrigerator (top warm) but Freezer Fine
-- Hardest part was removing the section to get into the Defrost Thermostat. Used a hand scraper to push plastic piece back wards (39 in parts diagram) once pushed back about 1/4" it then pops up and can come out (towards the front). Noticed that the evaporator was full of ice and the fan was working). Replaced Thermostat after defrosting evaporator... works like a charm.
