Ice dispenser door assembly seals the ice chute opening on your refrigerator. Replace if cracked, warped, or the rubber gasket is damaged and leaking air.
My refrigerator is 13 yrs old and began to build up frost in the ice cube shoot and the water tube began to freeze up over night. The flapper door was not closing completely. I simply removed the control panel by pulling up and out on the bottom edge, the edge is only about 1/8 inch thick, so don't reach in to far. You should be able to feel a small division line between the control panel and the refrigerator. No screw driver was needed to expose the 4 mounting screws of the inner dispenser... Read more
The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the refrigerator's cooling system by providing the necessary start and run voltage to the compressor. Without a properly functioning run capacitor, your refrigerator may struggle to maintain the desired temperature, leading to spoiled food and inefficient energy use. Causes of a bad run capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating due to a malfunctioning refrigerator compressor or poor ventilation. Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:
This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
We replaced the main circuit board and the LED started to work and the condenser fan worked, but all we had were relay clicking sounds, but no cooling. The compressor had become so hot trying to work when the main circuit board was amiss, that it had popped the over temperature sensor on its side. As some one point out, if you remove the PTC+OLP assembly with the capacitor on it, and shake it, you will hear a rattle inside---and that is bad. We ordered a second round of parts from... Read more
Connects water supply tubing sections in your refrigerator. Replace this plastic compression union if it's cracked, leaking, or broken. Installs inline.
We noticed a puddle of water in front of the fridge a couple of months ago-dried the floor up both times and thought someone had dropped ice-or spilled water. A couple of weeks ago there was water dripping through the dropped tile ceiling in the basement. I shut off the water for the water supply to the fridge at the copper pipe in the basement and removed some of the tiles which felt a little damp. It still dripped all day. When my spouse came home he pulled down more of the tiles. It was as... Read more
Fix a leaking water valve or non-working ice maker and water dispenser. This dual inlet valve controls water flow to both systems. DIY-friendly repair.
To verify if you have a bad valve in the first place read on... I first pulled out the ice maker to remove all the frozen water including the inlet section which was a huge solid waterfall of ice. While it was out completely disconnected I cleaned/chipped out the freezer section ice puddle. I also completely melted the ice cubes and ice puddles off the ice maker at the fill bucket end in the sink with running water careful to not get water near the power cord area. I then put a tall plastic cup... Read more
Interior light not working when door opens? This light switch controls refrigerator illumination. DIY-friendly install takes 30-45 minutes with video.
I ordered a new switch from APP and fixed my fridge. However, the video posted for this repair on this site is not applicable to newer refrigerator models. I have a 2015 GE GTE18IHCRSS and had to drop the control housing (#432 in the diagram) to attach the wire/plug assembly to the switch. Only had to remove the front screw with a 1/4" nut driver and that provided enough of a gap for me to plug in the switch. So the correct method to replace the light switch in a newer model refrigerator is as... Read more
Freezer coils frozen over or fridge not cooling enough? This defrost timer controls the defrost cycle. DIYers report 30-minute repairs with video help.
After reviewing a number of testimonials and your videos from your APP.com site I determined my most likely problem was either the defrost heater, thermostat, timer or possibly all three. The real challenge now began. Getting to the specific parts with my specific model number was a real challenge. It was not as easy as removing the light guard and 5 screws since my model had two Track Cant Shelf vertical rails restricting the removal of the back panel. Also, these rails could not be removed...

Plastic tube that connects the water tank to the dispenser and ice maker. Replace if cracked, leaking, or damaged to restore proper water flow in your fridge.
The Light Socket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for holding the refrigerator's light bulb and ensuring it receives power to illuminate the interior when the door is opened.
You should replace the light socket if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad light socket can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues such as short circuits or power surges, and corrosion from moisture exposure.
Symptoms of a bad light socket include:
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
I researched the model and watched a YouTube video on the repair. I ordered the part. Two days later it arrived and I made the repair. I'm all thumbs in home repairs, but had it done in 5 minutes. My husband was surprised. Nice that I can take care of a few simple repairs around the house. Read more
Fridge not cooling but freezer works? Ice buildup on evaporator coils? This defrost thermostat regulates defrost cycles. Easy 5-15 minute DIY fix.
My GSS20IETD BB side-by-side refrigerator had been having the ice form into a single mass over a period of a week after cleaning it out. It actually kept breaking my ice maker auger and pushing the slide-in tray or shelf over the ice maker up breaking it also. Frost would form all over food after about a couple of weeks. The ice auger motor would freeze up and stop turning. The coils did not have frost on them when I was able to view them. I replaced the thermistors in the freezer, defrost the... Read more
The Light Bulb (40W) is an OEM component for GE refrigerators. As an essential task lamp, it illuminates the interior of the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
All light bulbs will eventually burn out with consistent use over many years. Vibration during compressor cycles can also potentially disrupt bulb filaments faster.
Symptoms of a burnt out refrigerator light bulb include:
This bulb is also compatible with refrigerators from brands like Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
I changed the motherboard - computer and also changed the motor in the freezer, because it was doing a howling sound every time it turned on. The repair technician asked for $500 for a repair and that is on top of the $230 I paid him two days before. I looked up the parts and decided to try myself and it paid off. Great instructional videos. Thanks Read more

Ice dispenser only making crushed ice instead of cubes? This solenoid valve kit fixes the cube/crushed ice selector. Easy DIY repair with video guide.
This was a two and half year issue as different things failed at different times. I would get one part, then another would fail. Ultimately, I got to a point where what failed, I hadn't been ordered the part yet. The seal on the freezer door took three bathing's before it plumped up and un-creased. The directions on the box it is shipped in said to heat the seal up in hot water then cool it down with tap water. I didn't need to do that. It took a lot of massaging of the seal, but... Read more

Ordered the part through e-mail based on the model number of the frig. When the part arrived,I looked at the set up from the right side and follwed the process for the right. Took me one minute. Read more
Refrigerator not cooling or compressor overheating? The condenser fan motor circulates air through coils to dissipate heat. DIY repair in under 30 minutes.
I googled the issue and read several articles. Most started with cleaning the coils (which mine are on the bottom) (19yr old Kenmore 363.9557812). I had not really ever cleaned them well, vacuuming did little. I had to remove the cardboard cover off the back of the frig, and blew them clean (front to back). Once that was done, I started cleaning from the back and noticed the fan wasn't turning week (condensor fan). Blew it out too, have it a good soon with a pencil, it puffed out a bunch of... Read more
Ice maker not producing ice or won't dispense cubes? This complete ice maker assembly replaces failed units. DIY-friendly install in under 10 minutes.
I found that the Ice Maker in my GE side by side made ice but would not kick out the ice when it had formed, the heating element or the switch that controls it didn't work. I ordered a new ice maker switched it out took less than 3 minutes. The cord was very stiff and just long enough but I got it to connect and in 35-40 minutes I had fresh ICE!! Read more
