Defrost Parts

Ordered a new evaporator fan, heater coil and fresh food fan. Troubleshooting on youtube, ordered the parts watched the video on how to remove old parts and then how to replace them. Called 3 different repair companies, seems no one will work on this GE French door fridge. I am sure someone with experience could change everything quicker! However, my daughter and I got the job done and the fridge is working great again! The videos on the parts ordering were the biggest help, straightforward and... Read more

Yes, a 49-yr old woman fixed this fridge all by herself! AppliancePartsPros was very helpful in the diagnosis of the problem, which I determined to likely be the result of defrost failure. There was a large amount of ice and frost coating the back of the freezer despite the inside temp being 42 degrees. My husband thought I was crazy to think it was a problem with ice when the temperature was warm, but I told him to trust me and I would attempt the repair. He just wanted to throw the old one...

Replaced defrost heater, temperature and defrost limiter thermostat. After taking the cover off the air chiller I found the coils frozen solid and defrosted it with a hair dryer. Once defrosted I remover the heater coil to test it it was fine, then I could see the defrost limiter was broken and as I put the unit back together I broke the heater tube (it is glass) so I ordered all the parts that might be defective and replaced them for less than the charge of having some one come to check it out.

Checked compressor windings - ok. Start relay looked no rattle or burning. Start capacitor seamed ok but hard to check. No 120VC to start relay at any time. Ordered thermistor, and electronic control unit. Figuring it was a bad thermistor not telling the ECU it was warm and to turn on the compressor. Or the ECU was damaged and was not sending the 120v to the compressor. Changed the thermistor first (cheapest part and as Appliance parts pros has a return policy I wanted to start there). ...

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...

After doing a lot of web searching about the problem. It all came down to AppliancePartsPros.com. Watching the repair videos and learning what to do made the job a breeze. The only difficult problem was to thaw out the ice build up on the coils, which took 2 hours. The rest was easy. now I have a freezer/ fridge that is working like new. The total cost of the parts was less then having a repairman come out to look at it. AppliancePartsPros saved me a lot of money. Thanks! Read more

Replaced the defrost heater, Temp sensor, and defrost thermostat. I'm pretty sure the defrost heater was the only faulty part, but I replaced the other parts to be safe. Took me about 20 minutes start to finish. I know the defrost heater was bad because it failed the continuity test. Parts were delivered within 3 days! This is the second time using Appliancepartspros.com and I will not go anywhere else. Thank you! Read more

Replaced the Defrost Thermostat. the part came in a day. Watched the video which helped a lot it took 15 minutes to swap out the part. Fridge is back up to temp and will keep watching to see if it freezes up again. Read more

The refrigerator is on top and freezer on the bottom. First I cleaned the access cover in the rear of the unit but this didn't fix the problem. I removed the ice maker and panel inside the freezer. The coil was frozen solid. I took off the defrost thermostat and check the continuity and it failed this test. After ordering the new part I installed it and put everything back together. It is now working perfectly. Read more
