Robert B San Jose , CA February 06, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator DSHS6VGBBCSS Poor temperature control and no water to icemaker or front dispenser Lack of water was due to frozen water reservoir on refrigerator side. Frozen water was due to temperature issues - cold on bottom of both freeder and refrigerator side, warmer at top. This was caused by evaporator fan failure. The fan had come loose from its housing and eventually vibrated itself to death - wire leads had vibrated open. Since the fan/wire harness are integrated, I needed to replace the unit. Evaporator fan blade took a beating too, so I replaced that as well. Online repair guide was instrumental in tracking down the problem. I was happy to buy parts from AppliancePartsPros.com, even if a few more bucks. I selected regular shipping but the parts came the very next day. Awesome.

Phil H North Liberty , IA June 13, 2016 Fridge not cooling Replaced the evaporator fan blade and motor. If you purchase the fan blade you do not need to purchase a compression ring as the blade comes with a compression ring. May not need to replace the bumpers or grommets but since my fan was unbalanced I replaced them in case they were worn.

Ian M Waxhaw , NC July 10, 2015 Replaced evaporator fan motor Luckily for me I heard the fan making a whining sound for a few days before it completely went. I knew it was the fan motor so I didn't need to call for a GE repairman to tell me what the problem was and pay him 89.00 to just show up and diagnose it. There was a lot to take off to get to the motor but once in there it was two plugs and it was done. Minimal tools were required. I found taking pictures of everything as I removed it helped me getting it back together. The part cost me 78.00 with shipping, but I'm sure it would have cost me well over 300.00 to have it fixed. I have to say I'm quite proud of myself and so was my wife (happy wife, happy life!)

Stephen S Mchenry , IL April 08, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator PSHS6PGZBESS Evaporator fan Ordered part which came promptly from you guys and was the exact part needed. Carefully removed the ice maker, auger, cover for coil, cover for fan. Defrosted and cleaned everything while empty. Removed and replaced the fan reversed the process and fridge is working like brand new for the 88 dollars I spent. Just to have someone come to the house these days is near 100 dollars so thank you for the great parts service.
