All Installation Instructions for General Electric Refrigerator A3316ABSFRBB

Compressor would run for three seconds and stop, two minutes and repeat.

The overload protector was the problem. It plugs into the side of the compressor and the run capacitor plugs into it.

If you pull the overload protector and it rattles when you shake it, that's probably your diagnosis.

The replacement is different from the original and the wire connectors are different. Hold the thing in the same orientation as if it were plugged in. The vertical connector goes to the neutral wire, which on my fridge is orange. The horizontal connector is for the overload, which for mine is black and white. If you have a schematic you should verify the wires yourself.

Anyway, the refrigerator now works like new.

Door gasket bad on GE refrigerator

NEVER DID. WAS SENT THE WRONG GASKET PART.

TOOK TWO DIFFERENT APPLIANCE PEOPLE TO TELL ME IT WAS THE WRONG GASKET. VERY FRUSTRATING. THEY SAID SHOULD HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS TO COMPANY SINCE I SUPPLIED THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER.

BECAUSE I COULD NOT PRINT A RETURN ( I HAVE NO WORKING PRINTER.) CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID WOULD TAKE TWO WEEKS TO SEND ME RETURN SLIP. NEVER RECEIVED IT WITHIN 30 DAY WINDOW.

LOST MY MONEY. $95+$75= $170 GASKET, SHIPPING PLUS APPLIANCE REPAIR CHARGE. STUCK WITH WRONG GASKET.

DON'T USE THESE PEOPLE...EVER.

Crisper Drawer Cover was broken, and i wanted to add a third shelf for my garage fridge

I slid the old crisper drawer cover out, and slid the new one in. Then I respaced the other shelves, making room for the third shelf, and put the new shelf in. Apart from the time it took me to unpack the boxes these parts came in, and to remove my groceries from the fridge, the "repair" itself took all of about 90 seconds.

The light inside the oven had burned out

0. As a safety precaution, unplug the range or hit the relevant fuse breaker before you start. You might also want to grab a flashlight. Definitely do not try to do this while the oven is hot.
1. Pinch the wire over the light bulb cap to remove it. This is inside the oven at the back.
2. Pop off the hemispherical glass cap.
3. Unscrew the old light bulb, and screw the new light bulb in its place.
4. Put the cap back.
5. Secure the cap by putting the wire back in its slots on the cap.

No tools needed, the cap is just held in place with pressure from the wire.

Parts Used:

Light Bulb - 40W
