FCM5SUAWW General Electric Freezer - Instructions

I replaced the thermostat, all but the capillary pipe. It was stuck in the
tube in which it fits. I had to let it sit unplugged until the ice in the cap tube melted, and I was able to lightly jerk on the cap pipe until it came
loose and slipped out. Put in the new one and sealed the end of the
tube with putty.

Refrigerator is not cooling. Light and fan working. Changed the capacitor.. Still not cooling. Back to discovery mode.It may be the timer
Certainly not PartSelect's fault. They have great service.

Removed cover with screwdriver used pliers unhook wires green light indicator and replaced with new one put cover back.

Removed the old switch and put in a new one. Sure beats buying a new deep freeze.

This was not a repair but a basket w/handles to fit in our chest ge freezer. . . . . . . . . . . . Called everywhere and nobody had the correct dimension basket. Your part select co. Had the correct one, great price and shipped it to us very quickly. I will always go back to them. . . .

Ordered two baskets, arrived in two separate shipments two days apart.
Both baskets wrong size for freezer.
Information sent to customer service and haven't heard anything back.

Placed food in baskets placed in freezer

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!

Had to e-mail GE for electrical schematic. Checked voltages to compressor. Jumpered compressor to see if it would even come on. Found bad run capacitor. Fixed.
