Freezer Kept defrosting
I looked at the video that came with the part and followed what i saw. My wife and i was about to go out and spend between $1500 and $2500 on a new refrigerator due to continuous defrosting. It had been happening for about a year. I followed the instructions from the video and the defrosting has stopped. Thanks so much for the video and the part! We do not need a new refrigerator after all.

Flapper Was Not Closing
Removed Flat Panel from front and used screwdrivers to remove screws and access spring and flapper, one note, once i did have access to this section i was able to see that the main reason the flapper was not closing was because the Dispenser Door Solenoid Assembly was frozen solid and needed to be replaced, I had not ordered this part and therefore had to order it at a later time, and repeat the repair, best to open this section up find all the damaged parts and then order...

A power surge made my side by side refrigerator stop working
I started at the compressor and replaced the overload and the Ptcr first and that did not make the compressor start running again, so I replaced the capasitor and it still did not start, so I bit the bulett and replaced the Main Control Board and that is what I should have checked first, when I removed the old one I found a little burnt spot on the back that I could not see from the front. The new one did not look exactly like the old one, it had two more wire terminals than the old one, but just leave them blank and everything will work just fine!

failed light switch
I started removing the switch by prying on the right side with a screwdriver, when it emerged enough I used pliers to finish removing it. I then unpluged rhe wires from the bad switch and pluged them on the new switch and "poped" it into the hole.

Water dispenser stops working but ice maker was fine
First, I replaced my water filter but when it didn't work I googled the problem and the most advice I found was the double outlet water valve must be bad. SO I ordered the parts thru parts select. But when I installed the valve, the water dispenser still didn't working. I went back to parts select website and to see if somebody had the same problem. A gentlemen posted that if the water line is frozen, no water will come out. So I defrosted my refrigerator and turned it on again and it finally work. So now, I wasn't sure if the REAL problem I had was just frozen line or a bad valve. I decided to keep the water valve since my ref was almost 10yrs old. (But I still don't know why my water line froze.)

WATER VALVE WITH GUARD

Icemaker leaking water
I had to defrost the freezer to free the icemaker. After that the installation was plug and play with two small exceptions: 1) I had to file down the width of the left hand tine of the old stripper so that it would fit the new icemaker, and 2) the motor housing of the new icemaker was slightly wider than the old one. It fit, but just barely. But I'm back in the ice again, no dripping water, all is good.

unusual noise
My refrigerator was making a high pitched kind of howling noise. The PartSelect symptom that was closest was “unusual noise” and when I clicked that it said the evaporator fan motor fixes the symptom 32% of the time. Since my freezer fan speed sounded like it was constantly changing I went ahead and bought one which PartSelect delivered promptly. The installation video was great and although my freezer was not identical to the one in the video, the video was still very helpful. The only thing it didn’t say was how to tell if my freezer motor was the one with the thermistor although I suspect that they all are and that PartSelect is simply trying to save us money by showing us how to splice in a motor without a thermistor. Anyway, since I would have had to disassemble the freezer before buying the part to find out for sure, I just bought the one without the thermistor. This just meant I had to splice the new motor in, just like in the video. I think I would have preferred buying the motor with the thermistor even though it was more expensive. In the end my problem is solved so I’m happy. This is the third time that I’ve had to repair this GE refrigerator and PartSelect has been a valuable resource each time.
