How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2596112 / 40A15 Light Bulb (40W)

Had some confusion of what part I needed, needed the one with the motor and thermostat. Fortunately, I've been fixing wiring for many years, I simply cut the new motor out of the harness, and used that nice glue-inside-heat-shrink tubing to seal the soldered 'Western Union' style splices. New light socket and lamps fit fine, worked fine, new motor is fine, problem resolved. FYI: Look closely at the wiring in you unit, there are two wire harnesses, one feeds the light, the other feeds the motor and thermostat. The web page adds to the confusion, by offering one with all three items (motor, light wires, and thermostat) but they don't actually have one like that. - Go with the pictures, What's in the picture is what you'll get. Also use Google images to confirm your part# is what you have/need. 

Just unscrew bulb 

I removed the drawers and old rails, and screwed in the new ones. It was very straightforward. 

I ordered the door switch and light bulbs. I replaced both and the light now works without issue. 

Order the part and replaced it. 

Replace with appliance bulb 

I replaced the evaporator motor and cleaned out the drain 

Part worked perfectly. Installed that and new light bulbs. Got all from AppliancePartsPros.com 

I did purchase a thermistor from a local parts store. I then replaced the circuit board, one light bulb and fan motor grommets. I found the on line how to videos to be very Informative and well done. Ordering process was easy. I did have one problem with the shipment that was caused by the US Postal service but, AppliancePartsPros quickly rectified the situation. I am extremely happy with the service they gave. I would surlly contact them again for any other appliance issues that I have. My refrigerator is working fine now. 

The trough drain was rusted through and the Styrofoam on the evaporator was moldy. So, I replaced the entire cover and trough. I unscrewed the three screws on the cover. Unplugged the fan and removed the cover. Three are two more screws holding the trough and evaporator, I unscrewed them and removed the trough. The hardest part was cleaning up all the rust. Once it's clean, put it all back together. I was easier than I expected.
