with a jewelry screwdriver I pried the lock tab in and pulled switch down carefully, the hardest part was that the power wire connector was stuck on good but the pliers and the jewelry screwdriver was its match for a bout 5 minute for one connection a simple pull off prong connection. After the wire connected back to switch it popped back in SNAPP

Remove the top cover above the door by lifting it slightly and pulling forward. I used a mirror to make sure that there was nothing in the way of accessing the switch from above. I used a blade screwdriver to press against the switch retainer on the topside, while GENTLY prying from below with another blade screwdriver to get the switch dislodged. Once the retainer was past the opening, I wiggled the switch downward and then rotated it to the left when the rounded top right edge of the switch was visible. This allowed the wiring to the connector to pass thru the hole. I pushed the wiring from the top and pulled from below to get the connector below the opening for the switch. I then unplugged the switch, plugged in the new switch and reversed the removal process feeding the connector thru first then rotating the switch to the right to get the rounded edge of the switch thru the opening, then pressed the switch up into the opening until it snapped into place. Total time less than 10 minutes.

took a little more effort than the video show to remove old module and replace new. Works fine now.

It was way to ez to install only a couple of minutes that's it

Easy

Pulled the two wires out from the access hole in the lower part of the refrigerator. Put them in the spade connectors on the new switch, and pushed the switch into place.

Just as your video described, although due to the age of the fridge, it took a bit longer to remove the defective switch. Your video made this so simple, I can't imagine why we lived with a dark fridge for so long! I was ready to buy a whole new fridge, as repairmen are often nonexistent for small repairs. I am the biggest fan of your company & it's repair video. THANK YOU SO MUCH

The repair was simple. I simply applied pressure slowly and carefully (from underside of cover pushing upward) to remove the old damaged cover veggie pan. I had to be careful so that I wouldn't ruin the two support posts that supported the cover. They seemed to be a little weak. I applied pressure until the cover was separated from support posts. Next, I slid the new cover into place, and applied pressure (pushing from top side downward) until teeth snapped into place to latch onto support posts. The repair was then done, and I restocked my fridge.

Simply removed the old cover and snapped the new one in place. Note that I had ordered this part from a local appliance service center and the part had been "backordered from the factory" for almost a month. I order the part from PartsSelect on a Saturday and received it the following Tuesday. ----excellent service!!

I found a replacement evaporator fan motor and 2 mounting bracket grommets at PartSelect.com at a reasonable price. I watched the installation video provided and installed the new parts as shown in the video start to finish installation time 22 minutes.i

Simple just remove the old veg. cover and the center track and replace both parts. Removed the rubber seals from the old veg. cover and installed on the new cover.
One problem I found out the drawers were not interchangable, the drawers have to go in a certain way and should not be sewitched from one side to another. I found that moving the drawers to the right position corrected the problem. The left drawer was bumping and did not work corectly until I swithche the drawers around. Also the GE Service man was here for a repair when we first moved in and the fridge was new and he gave me a tip about the drawers. He said to put a little cooking oil on your finger tip and rub it on the drawer slides, it makes them slide smoothly and freely.

Fan Quit So did the Ice Maker. $150.00 worth of parts plus my time. Also the Freezer Floor cracked for some stupid reason.

PartSelect shipped me the part and it arrived in less than 3 days. It took longer to unwrap the excellent packing than it did to pop the new door into place. Wonderful!
