Jeffery K Overland Park , KS October 13, 2016 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator ZIS42CMB Refrigerator was not cooling and freezer was on ge built in I called GE service and they did very little to test what was causing the problem. Instead, he indicated the damper was bad and the part was no longer available and I would need to replace. I purchased a defrost timer and defrost thermostat and replaced both. I am keeping my fingers crossed as now two nearly two weeks later it is working fine. This saved me plenty as a new unit can run $6k to $10K Read More... 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers

We purchased and installed both items and within 24 hours we saw immediate improvement... and now after more than 3 days, the OLD refrigerator is working like new again... Both the tech advice from the site and the quality parts were reasons for the success. Thanks, Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers, Socket Set
