Ice maker was over filling and freezing the cubes together.
I turned water off at valve and unplugged refrigerator. I removed screws to remove cardboard cover at bottom. I removed screw holding duel inlet water valve bracket and pulled out valve. Then it's just a matter of exchanging electrical connections and water lines. The electrical connections unplug and plug in-red to red and blue to blue. The water lines are two different sizes so they can't be mixed up. Then reattach bracket and cardboard cover. Turn water back on and plug back in.

switchlight on my refrigerator was not working
I found instructions on the web about how to do this repair, so I ordered the part with confidence. But the instructions simply said "pull out the old switchlight". That was actually somewhat difficult as the clip on the side intended to hold the part in was stubborn. I eventually used a utility to slice off the clip. From that point, it was just a matter of plugging in the new switchlight , which was very simple.

Fridge and Freezer too warm
Took off the back cover, unplug it of course, use the flat screwdriver to pop off the cap on the compressor and just unplug the two units detached wires put em on the new units and plug the parts back to compressor, plugged in the fridge to see and it didn't come on so I left it for a day in discussed, came home from work and it was running? Have no idea why it would do that but it's running now and the temperature's are good?

Ice Maker Not Making Ice
My GE SideBySide fridge stopped making ice. The green LED light on the icemaker was not blinking. The water dispenser worked fine. Fridge is only 5 years old. Freezer temp set at 7 degrees...fridge at 37 degrees. I have been using these temps since new. GE hotline suggested freezer temp should be at zero degrees. That did not work. Second call suggested an airflow issue within the freezer...there should be 1 inch space between food and back wall. Still no ice. The water valve looks to be the issue. I ordered it and got it in 2 days. Valve is in the back bottom, refridgerator side. Push the white collars around the water hoses...Then pull the hoses out. An adjustable wrench removes the nut for the inlet hose. Disconnect 2 electrical plugs. Be sure to push the water hoses fully into the new valve. I pulled the white collars out a bit to insure a tight fit. I was surprised at how simple this was to install. As it turns out, I was still getting no ice. I ordered a new ice maker and now I'm getting ice. The icemaker was EVEN EASIER to install.

Refrigerator wasn’t cooling, but the freezer was.
Unplugged the fridge.
Took off the freezer door.
Took off the door brackets and the ice machine. Removed the back panel. Unplugging the light and the ice machine were a challenge to get to. Installation of the fan motor was simple. Reverse all the directions, done. Tough part was figuring out what to take off.
