compressor running and hot, refer and fridge room temp.
Watched a youtube on capacitors- though on a motor with a pulley, the symptoms were the same, motor running and pulley not turning-bad capacitor. Took a chance for a 17+ dollar part vs a new compressor. It worked.

fan and compressor wont start
Googled the model number of refrigerator with symptoms of "refrigerator wont run". Parts select web site appeared on my screen, opened Parts Select website, Partselect said probable cause of my frige symptom was that the run capacitor usually burns out 51% of the time. They were correct with the diagnosis 100%. I ordered the run capacitor for $23.00, installed it in 10 minutes, refrigerator runs good as new. Thank you for saving me cost of service call. I probably saved $200 or more. I will use Partselect again with my next problem. THANK YOU,

Refrigerator door gasket was coming apart.
I watched the video, supplied on the website, two times and followed the procedure. The repair was very easy and a pleasant experience. Lay the new gasket out flat for a couple of days in the sun prior to installation and remove the door and lay it flat for the installation of the gasket. Remove old gasket and clean track and surrounding area thoroughly. Line up new gasket over track and at each corner and press into track, starting in center of one side, and work your way to each corner - repeat on each of the remaining three sides. Use a wet sponge to slide along the top of gasket while pressing same into track on the door.

Refridgerator Door Gasket Needs Replacing
I watched some videos online trying to find one that pertained to my door gasket and found a couple. After that it was a snap. The old gasket came off easy and the new one went back on easy. I did however submerse it in hot water first to kind of even things out.

gasket cracking at least 8 years old
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.

Fresh door gasket leaking.
Followed the PartsSelect how-to video to the letter., using clothes dryer option to soften the gasket before installation. Installing the new gasket a little tedious, but not difficult. Video was dead on as to method and tools.

Freezer door gasket replaced
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.

Fridge not cooling
Fairly easy I pull the fridge foward and remove the backing board and notice the fan wasn't working, so I remove the fan and bench tested and it was burned then I clean the condenser with compress air if you don't have air then a vacuum cleaner works then once the part arrived I install it the now if working very good
