GSS23WSTASS General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

The freezer kept getting to warm (up to 28 degrees at times on the digital display). We took the cover off the main control board, and if we pushed on one of the connections it would start the condenser. Sometimes the freezer would work for several weeks, and then have trouble for a week.

Finally we got tired of "baby-sitting" the fridge, and sent for a new main control board. Installed in about 15 minutes, and so far the everything is working great.

Removed shelves in freezer.Removed back panel in freezer.Heater located at bottom under coil.Removed 2 screws and unplugged heater at both ends.Installed new part by following simple instructions provided with new part.Very easy process!

first empty both sides then took apart freezer area ice maker-light cover-back cover and exposed fanchecked all connections ordered fan[had no amp probe to see if power at motor repaceed fan still fan didnot runmoved fridg out from wall found control board didnt find any thing wrongto the eye ordered control board remove all connectionsused plyers be easy to remove from board squezed little whit tabs[3 or 4] to remove board from fridge installed new board snapping the pegs back into holes then reinstallwire connectors [ps the board comes with a few extra ports dont worryjust connect to the ones on the old board] dont forget to hook up green groung wire when you put cover back on then plug in and turned on closed up the freezer and reinstalled icemaker and other parts started and all seems ok good luck

Poped whole switch out with flat head screw driver. Removed wires with needle nose players and held the wires so they wouldn't get pulled back inside fridge shell. Attached wires to new part like a plug. Lights ccame back put new switch back inside wall. Shut door

First I removed the 2 screws from the panel at the back of the freezer, slid it up the defrost element was at the bottom of the freezer I simply unplugged the old element and plugged in the new one and put everything back together in reverse order and it works fine now!

removed back panel in freezer section.thawed frost with hair dryer and installed new defrost heater

Removed the ice bin, and removed 2 screws on the screw holding the sheild. Then removed the 2 top screws, and the bottom screw. Took rubber hammer and bumped the auger assembly loose from the bin. Removed broken auger and replace with replacement auger ordered from Part Select.
Did the reverse to re-assemble.
Easy and now ice maker dispenses ice as it did originally.

I turned off and emptied my fridge/freezer, unpluggedit, and removed the two tiny bolts holding the back plate on the inside of the freezer. The coils were thick with ice, so I put a small heater on a shelf in the freezer for 10 minutes. This helped all the ice to melt and drain onto towels I had put on the bottom of the freezer.
I then unscrewed the two screws holding the part in place, disconnected the wires, installed the new part, and put all the screws back in. Presto it was done. This was easy even for a "girl" like me.
Note: the repair itself took only 5 minutes, but I took my time thawing the coils to avoid any mess.

Unplug refer.Rear rectangular plate conceals PC board. Gently remove modular connecters from old PC. Pinch each plastic anchor with needlenose while gently lifting board until free. Be delicate! Install in reverse. Each mod. plug can only be attached to its respective connection point on the board. A common repair after power surge/lightening strike caused evap. motor to whine and groan and icemaker to snap and bang. I do this for a living but no problem for you either.

take all the internal parts and back wall in back of freezer compartment out. carefully remove the wires connecting the element. replace all the parts taken out

Thanks to Parts Select personnel who looked up the part and got it on its way. Ordered before 11 am and was here before 11 am the next day!!!

Fantastic!!!!!!!

turn off water. turn off electricity. empty freezer section of frozen food. remove ice bucket. loosen two screws holding IM to wall of refrigerator. lift off icemaker, and then unplug it as you remove it. INSTALL new IM by: putting new water funnel onto new IM. attaching adapter cord to IM. plug in IM electrical cord to refrigerator and then hang the new IM onto the two loosened screws on the refrig wall. Now tighten the two screws. the extra adapter electrical cord hangs below the new IM, but does not get in the way when you reinstall old ice bucket. reload food, turn on elec and water. PS. i had a crack in the casing of the new IM, so i got a new one, but that one was cracked too. so i just installed the second cracked one. hope it is not a problem.

For I am not good at the English so that I am some what difficult to show my repairing procedure and here what I do as follow but at first I rely on The PartSelect Diagram in order finding out which component might be defective. My opinion to the problem is Thermalstat Sensor so that I proceeded to check if it was defective. I used Ohm meter measure the internal switch contact from the sensor and see that it is active. And after that I have turned my doubt to The electronic board controller. It is this, the culprit. The malfunction in the Board.
If you had your experience in Electronic repairing, you would simply done the replacement for the larger Capacitor from the Board. Contrarily you should perform the replacement for whole Electronic Board. Thank you to PartSelect for provided Diagram to Customer.

First I turned off power to unit. I then empty all items from the freezer along with the ice tray, to keep melting ice from dripping. I removed the cover panel which required removing four screws. I then defrosted the coils with a hair dryer. I then disconnected the old defrost heat unit and extended the blue wire per replacement product instructions and installed the new replacement. I then put everything back together and restored the power to the refrigerator. Everything is working great. The most time consuming part of the whole process was defrosting the frosen coils, but once that was completed the remaining repalcement was a snap.

manually defrosted unit than removed old heater, rerouted wires and conected and mounted new heater.

Simply twisted off the old water filter, unwrapped the new one and twisted it on.
