All Installation Instructions for General Electric Refrigerator GBE20ESEARSS

noisy refrigerator

I followed your video and completely dismantled the refrigerator evaporator motor, fan, brackets, and grommet, I completely cleaned the refrigerator including the cooling coils. I then ordered the evaporator motor ,fan, grommets, lid bumper, and brackets. The order would take a week to arrive. In the meantime I cleaned and reassembled all the old parts, waiting for the new ones to come. Guess what! The refrigerator was quiet as a mouse. I really did not need the new parts, but I kept them anyway just for good luck. Not bad for a refrigerator that's twenty four years old.

Light would stay on when door closed

Extremely easy repair, the hardest part was getting the old switch out. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to squeeze the tabs in and it came right out.

The door handle onthe refigerator broke off.

I took off the remaining parts of the handle with the set screw. I received the new handle and put it on with a nut driver with the set screw. I took about one minute to install the new handle. It looks exactly like the old handle. It is stainless steel.
