Part 2 (screws): I let the refrigerator warm to room temp overnight. I took off the freezer shelf brackets and light, and then the bottom of the freezer compartment using a dime to pry it up (tricky). I poured water into the drain under the coil and it drained very slowly. OK, the drain line's plugged somewhere and it's not ice. I took off the back cardboard compressor cover, unbolted and pulled out the fan, and saw the drain tube in the drain pan. There's a little hole cut in the side of the tube. I took a 6 ft length of plastic trimmer line from a lawn edger/trimmer and ran it through the hole and all the way up the drain line. Water started draining out! I jiggled the line around some to make sure it was clear, then I replaced everything the way it came apart. The white painted freezer screws had lost their paint since this was the third time in 4 years the freezer had been dismantled before diagnosing the plugged drain line. The first time this happened, (at age 10 years (not me-the refrigerator)) I called a repairman who said I should just replace the refrigerator since this brand was no good. He was wrong - he just didn't know how to fix it and now it's working fine (plus he lost one of the screws). I really like my now 14 year-old GE Profile refrigerator and I'd buy another (plus it was made in the USA!!) Second time, I took it apart myself and failed to notice the drain was partially plugged with something (I assumed it was frozen). Part 1 (slide cover): The other repair was the right bottom shelf bracket got broken somehow. The replacement bracket from PartSelect was identical to the original and the repair was easy, except it took me a while to remember how it went together. Thanks and I hope you like my trimmer line ldea. Support our economy - buy American!! Thanks PartSelect. Signed GR in Corpus Christi, TX.
