Freezer section too warm. Would not go below 20 F
I replaced both the Defrost Thermostat and the Temperature Sensor located on the top of the cooling coils. I ordered them because they were the least expensive items that addressed my problem. They did not correct my problem. I then ordered the Main Control circuit board. I installed the board in about 15 minutes. Finally my freezer returned to the set temperature of 0 degrees F. Problem solved

Old Icemaker Stopped Making Ice
Instructions that came with the part were useless. I would have created new problems if I had attempted to follow the instructions. However, once I had the old part removed and put it beside the new part, required repair process was obvious, easy and quick. Frig now makes ice better than it ever did.

unthawed twice then third time compressor wouldn't start up but cooling fan would still run
I pulled cover off back that housed the board. Unplugged all the wires that went to the board. wires will only fit in one spot so you cannot mess it up. snapped it off the pegs, then replaced new board in same spot. hooked plugs back up and installed ground wire. covered it back up plugged it in and it ran.

I replaced what I thought was a faulty mother board. It was easy to do.
Replacing the motherboard was really easy. However it has not fixed my refrigerator. I continue to have cooling issues with fridge and sometimes with the freezer.

Icemaker does not make ice
I'm a housewife in her late 40's. Before ordering the part, I watched your video on how to remove and install the new icemaker. First I unplugged the refrigerator. After a few minutes, I unplugged the icemaker and unscrewed it. I lifted it a bit and removed it. I did not use the icecup that comes with the part. Instead I removed the one from the old part and inserted it to the new one. Then I plugged in the new icemaker, placed it inside so as to match the holes and screwed it in. YES, it was that simple. It took me less than 10 minutes to do this. I saved myself over $100!!

The repair was quite easy. The installation video on your web site was a lifesaver. Without your video the installation would have been far more difficult.If you are doing this repair watch the video,it will save you a lot of time and potential problems.

Neither side of our side by side fridge was cooling.
Watched the repair video on the site to help determine what part we might need. After taking the panels off we could see that it was icing up. Part ordered was genuine GE and arrived very quickly. After part arrived we watched the video again to make sure we knew what to do. Other than it was hard to get both shoulders into the side by side (it was narrow)the repair went fine. Thank goodness for your site, it saved us a bunch of money in service calls and more expensive part.

Fridge and freezer consistently get warm during Summer
After pulling fridge out from the wall, removing the bottom back panel and inspecting the fridge operating parts, I noticed the condenser fan never comes on. Reading online I found that most of the time the problem is with the main control board. I simply unscrewed the back panel, carefully disconnected the cables from the old board, plugged them back in to the new board, replaced the panel and started the Fridge back up. It cooled right down to normal temperature within the hour! Five years of neurotic behavior around cooling the fridge were over! My wife and I constantly rearranged various fans around the kitchen and joining rooms, opened the cabinet above, taking out the bottom shelf to make more ventilation, pulling the fridge out from the wall several inches, and worrying every time the freezer went up to 9 or 10 or even 20 degrees, and the fridge section up to 40 or even 45 degrees F. I can sleep easy now, and use the fans on us in hot weather, rather than the constant buzz in the kitchen. We can even have a conversation without yelling above the din of the fans!

refridgerator would not cool, yet had ice on inside back panel on freezer side
it's a side by side ge fridge/freezer. When it quit freezing or keeping cool on fridge side we googled on line the make and what was wrong. Plenty of videos popped up on you tube. There were so many different items that suggested what was wrong that we just watched a view and quickly diagnosed the problem. It was so cool how the videos walked you thru testing and diagnosing. I then ordered the part being the heater and the thermostat coil. I ordered both just in case. Once I recieved the parts I took off the inside back panel on freezer side, exposing the coils which were iced over badly. I then unscrewed the heater at the bottom of coils and simply replaced it with the new. The only problem that I came across was the new part (heater) did look different that the one I took out. It was a doulbe instead of a single. I was a little worried about this. I went ahead and installed it using a screw driver. I then put back on panel by screwing it on with a elec screw gun. Plugged it in and wow, it worked. I was so happy. I just knew that this was either gonna cost a fortune to have someone come out or at the worst have to buy a new one. Very expensive! Instead, thanks to the videows and the ease of ordering then installing the part I spent about $32.00 Made me happy. I will definetly pass on this info and will use this process again should the need arise. We live out in the country which means just to have someone come out and look at it would have cost a $100 trip fee, plus parts and labor. Thanks again for the help and ease at solving a problem that could have resulted in a hardship for our family
