One of the six covered LED lights is not working. The other five are dim. These are located at the outer edge of the main compartment. I pulled the unlit component away frome the wall of frig. It is a tiny component attached by wires to the inside of frig. What is the number of the appropriate replacement part? Is it easy to replace?

Hello Deborah, thank you for reaching out. The LED lights in your refrigerator section are part number PS4704284. To replace the LED assembly, follow the following instructions: 1. Insert the flat-blade screwdriver and pry out the old LED cover. 2. Press down on the locking tab and disconnect the plug. 3. Take the new LED cover and push it in so that it will lock and connect to the plug. 4. Snap the cover into the housing. We hope this helps. Good luck with this repair!

my refigerator was warm but the freezer was cold and working correcttly
I went to a GE repair center to explain my problem, the service center reccomended that I have a techinician come out o look at it. $75.00 for the visit and what ever labor and materials wuld cost.

I went on line to see if there were others having this same problem and found that there were many with the same problem.

After reading some of the ways that people found out what was wrong ...it became a matter of three components, the timer, heater or thermostat.

I tried the most common component and the less expensive one first , the thermostat switch I installed it very easily snipping two wires and attaching the news using wire nuts I used the diagram on this website to pinpoint the component and there has not been a problem since.

refrigerator was getting too cold
I removed the old temperature sensor by cutting the wires. I attached the wires of the new sensor with wire nuts and mounted it in the same bracket.

Sticking Light Switch
I applied some tips learned by reading other reviews. So before I started I grabbed my trusty vise grip pliers and a small screw driver. I locked onto the switch actuator, the part that the refrigerator door pushes in, with the vise grips and pulled on it just hard enough to get the screw driver inserted in the right side to push in the catch clip so the switch could be pulled out further each time the catch clip was depressed to the next detent. Then I used the screw driver on the left site to encourage the switch past the detents on the left and very quickly the switch was out of the mount. The wires from the refrigerator pulled out with the old switch. I unplugged the old switch from the wires and plugged in the new switch and shoved the new switch back into the mount, wiggled it a couple of times to make sure it was secure and the job was done. Once I applied the vise gripes at first, the whole job took less than a minute.
