Vegetable Pan cover had cracked
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!!

The evaporator fan in the freezer compartment began making a loud noise.
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

The cover veggie pan cracked
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.

The cover on the Veg. pan was broken so the Veg. drawers would not work or stay in place since the tracks were broken on the sides and the center guide was broken also, had to replace both parts
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.

Bad switch for door prevented interior light from coming on
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

Cracked Dairy Door
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!

light in freezer section not working
Using plyers Pulled old switch down and out. Put new one in and pushed new switch up into position. The switch plugs into the contacts, no wiring needed. Worked like a charm. You saved me 200 dollars GE repair bill. Thanks

The refrigerator made a humming/grinding sound
I used the socket set to remove pannel that allowed me to have access to the evaporator fan. Once the fan and it's container was visible, I removed the entire fan container using the socket set. I took the fan out of the container, removed the damage blade and the damaged fan grommets. I then replace the old blade with the new blade and put the fan and the compartment back together. I am not very handy so if I am able to do this, anybody can. Ps. I was very very pleased with the services I received from PartSelect and would encourage others to use them - must admit I was very suspicious at first.

Freezer And Frig Both Warm And Compressor Would Not Run
I replaced the thermostat, temperature sensor, and the run capacitor. . . Refrigerator still not cooling. I checked the start relay and measured the input terminals on the compressor for the correct resistance. . . Everything measured correctly. In a last ditch effort before calling for service, I pulled the main board, inspected it and saw the problem right away. One leg on the compression capacitor had desoldered itself. Got out my soldering iron and applied a good amount of solder to that point. Put everything back together and turn it on. . . Problem fixed. The compressor kicked on right away and started cooling the refrigerator.

switch wouldn't come out anymore and turn light on
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

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.
