This key is for freezers. If your key will not lock or unlock the freezer door, check it to see if it has been bent or damaged. If it has been damaged, you should look to replace it to avoid damaging ...
I called the local GE dealer for repair. The repair person arrived and told me that he could not get the part. The freezer was too old. Then he charged me $60 for coming out. I went online and did a search for parts with the model number above. I found Partselect.com and the diagrams showed which part I needed. It was in stock and I ordered it. My husband and I removed the door to the freezer, pushed the part into the hole at the bottom of the door and put the door back on its hinges. It works perfectly. Thank you.
Well, first I tried with replacing the temp sensor, a simple little connecting inside the box, but it didn't work. I then shut it down, removed all food and took the inside cover off exposing the controls in the back of the freezer, only needed an electric screw driver with a variety of bits. I located the "cold control" part and dismantled it making sure I kept notes on how to reassemble it. I ordered the replacement, with concurrence from a nice lady with Parts Select that it would no doubt fix my problem. She was right. After 4 months no problem with it turning itself off. I used a few electrical nut connectors and I needed some plumbers putty where the electric lines exit to insulate the cold control device, there was some of the original putty but it fell apart when I disassembled the unit. I guess it boils down to the old process of elimination, but getting advise here will be my future first move if anything goes wrong.
