Dorthy June 12, 2018 I am looking for a cover access cover for my old GE refrigerator. The model is TBF15SMC which I found out is obsolete. How can I find one that is compatible?
1 Answer Hello Dorthy, I'm sorry but this part WR82X10100 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. You could manufacture one like the picture on our site. This part is for air flow and can be made from cardboard as long as air can flow where the slots are shown. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Sonny March 05, 2018 for Model Number PCP23SHMFFBS Hi me again, thanks for your last response regarding rear access cover. I went ahead and replaced the condenser fan motor with a new one, in case the old one wasn't running as it should. Nothing appears to be restricting Air flow. I've mounted the rear access cover back on now. But still the freezer appears to be increasing in temperature, Fridge side is good. What I noticed is that with the rear access cover on, the compressor doesn't run as long as I think it should or like it did previously (wondering if the compressor is overheating with the rear access cover mounted and then shutting off prematurely), both condenser fan and evaporator fan continually run even when the compressor shuts off. Usually both fans shutoff when compressor shuts off, but not since rear access cover has been mounted on, both fans keep running, even when the compressor shuts off. I've left the rear access cover mounted for several hours in the hope things start to work as they should. In the meantime I've been watching the temperature display on the freezer showing warmer as time goes by, it doesn't seem to be getting back to it's set temperature. I'll probably have to remove the rear access cover again to get the Freezer Temperature right again. I'm at loss to why the Refrigerator operates better with the rear access cover off. Any advice would be appreciated.
1 Answer Sonny, As long as you installed the proper rear cover WR82X10100, properly there should be no air flow/overheating issues in the compressor compartment. When you replaced the condenser fan motor, did you also clean the lint and debris from the condenser coil ? You may want to remove and check the lower kick plate grille, clean it and check for any debris on the floor under the refrigerator. The condenser fan and the evaporator fan, are independent of the compressor circuits. Yes, they will all normally run together, but the fans can operate when the compressor has cycled off. It's dependent on the temp. sensors in each compartment. Check and make sure the sensor grille on the side walls aren't blocked or restricted by articles on the shelves. The DCV variable speed evaporator fan motor could be running intermittently, or it may be "stuck" in the low or medium speed, and not circulating the air in the freezer properly, but then you should notice an issue in the refrigerator eventually. Then check the "Custom Cool" bin and housing (if equipped). Read More...
Sonny February 04, 2018 for Model Number PCP23SHMFFBS My freezer will not reach it's set temperature if the rear access cover is on. It will only reach it's set temperature if I remove this rear access cover. My cover is made of metal with insulation fixed to it, which sits right behind the compressor when attached to the refrigerator. Should I worry about leaving this rear access cover off the refrigerator? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Sonny, If your unit is not operating properly with the cover on you have an issue with the condenser fan motor or something is preventing air circulation. The rear cover is in place to direct airflow from the fan across the condenser coils to dissipate the heat removed from the units' interior back into the room. If it will not work properly with the machine compartment cover in place, you check for anything restricting airflow and if the condenser fan motor WR60X10209 is running up to speed. Read More...
Tim June 22, 2017 for Model Number PSS23MGTEBB Is the replacement part AP3884510 made of paper or metal? My original panel is made of paper. If your replacement is metal, will it fit correctly? Thank you
Mark February 13, 2017 for Model Number DSHS6VBBCSS Part number AP3884352 is made of cardboard. Is a sheet metal one available as shown on u tube video?
1 Answer Hello Mark, I'm sorry but the cardboard one is all that is available from the manufacturer. This is all that is needed since this part merely serves to direct air flow. The video shows one made by a different manufacturer. Read More...
Carol October 16, 2015 The refrigerator repair man left the Refrigerator Access Cover off (cardboard cover) for GE Profile Side by side. I want to put it back on the bottom back of the refrigerator. Does it go with the plain side out or the side with words out? Also, he either took or lost all the screws. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Carol, You will need to install the cover with the power cord lined up with the large notch at the top of the cover. I'm sorry but this is as specific as I can get without a model number from the units' I.D. tag so I can look up the configuration. Read More...
Jonathan September 08, 2012 for Model Number PSS25MGNAWW I just bought this unit used and the cover was missing. I am planning on replacing just for looks and was wondering what screws to use to mount it? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Jonathan! The manufacturer does not list the access cover WR82X10100 screws. You may be able to locate screws at a home hardware store. The screw is a 1/4" hex head. Thanks! Read More...
