Lance B League City , TX November 06, 2020 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator ZISS420DRISS No lights in refrigerator We bought a new house that has a 15 year old GE Monogram built in fridge. The home warranty people sent two guys out saying it was nearly impossible to repair the fridge and they both suggested buying a completely new freezer door for the fridge and of course the warranty company said it was preexisting and we weren't covered. Shocker. I have lighting in the freezer but not the fridge. I purchased a door switch and replaced the old one but that didn't do the trick. So i purchased a 2 amp fuse for my refrigerator and went for it. I took a guess that the one on the right controlled the fridge lights. It's not a ton of fun to remove the 6 hex screws underneath the fridge but it's definitely doable. You just need a small 5/16 wrench or socket set. I took out the old one and checked for continuity (which there was none) and then checked the new amp for continuity and it had it. I replaced the fuse and screwed a couple of screws in, flipped on the breaker and wow!! major lights!! We bought this house with the fridge built in and the door ice maker, door water, and fridge lights didn't work. Now because of Appliance Parts Pros selection, DIY videos, DIY blogs, and super fast delivery I have what looks like a brand new fridge. I've replaced the solenoid on the ice maker door flapper (took off the SS skin of the freezer which was no big deal), the flapper itself, the relay switch that tells the flapper to open and close, the light bulb in the freezer door, the refrigerator door light switch, and the 2 amp fuse that controls the fridge lights. It's like a brand new fridge for about $100.00 and 2 hours of my time. A new one of these built in fridges costs about 6-8K. Rarely am I wowed by a company, this is most definitely one of those times. I'm not afraid to fix anything anymore. Kudos to the best appliance parts company around period!!

David G Bristow , VA January 10, 2015 Appliance: Model GSS52WGMB Ice maker and water dispenser only worked intermittenly My refrigerator is 13 years old and has always been a pain. The shelf above the ice maker broke last year which caused the ice maker to keep making ice even when the bin was full (the shelf keeps the ice contained which causes the ice buildup to shut off the ice maker). My water dispenser would occasionally refuse to dispense water. It appeared to me that the issue was caused by the nozzle freezing. The trap door for the ice was not closing properly so freezing air was always blowing out. The open trap door for the ice was allowing frost to build up in the ice shoot. After finding this site I realized the broken parts were likely easy to get to. Using the DIY videos, I removed the necessary parts to make a good diagnoses of the issues. The solenoid that opens the ice door was heavily corroded and didn't appear to be working. The rubber trap door was old, hardened, and didn't appear to be sealing well. All of my parts arrived on Wednesday (they were ordered on Sunday), and I fixed my fridge in about 5 minutes. Having already pulled all of the parts out once, the actual repair was a piece of cake. My only regret is not having found this site sooner and ordering the parts.....I have been yelling at my refrigerator for way too long!
