GBS18HBRABB General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed the shelf retainer and snapped the new one in. and reinstalled the shelf on the door.
This was a very simple problem!
What really impressed me was that I ordered the part from you before noon on one day and received it by 11 AM the next day!!!

First, I removed the broken end cap from refrigerator door. Then I snapped the new end cap into place. Repair took less than 5 minutes and required NO TOOLS! Easy!! Got my part in one day, Thanks.

I pulled off the broken piece, ordered the new piece, and snapped it on. VERY SIMPLE.

I matched the part I needed throught your web site. Then I called and spoke to a customer support person, and gave my personal information to her. I do not like giving my credit card numbers over the internet. Your site allows me to do that.

-- Hardest part was removing the section to get into the Defrost Thermostat. Used a hand scraper to push plastic piece back wards (39 in parts diagram) once pushed back about 1/4" it then pops up and can come out (towards the front). Noticed that the evaporator was full of ice and the fan was working). Replaced Thermostat after defrosting evaporator... works like a charm.

Turned off water supply, removed bottom rear metal panel,with a towel to catch water pushed in and removed water line from double water outlet, removed metal clamp and then grommet tube assembly from top right rear of refrigerator. Then I put in new grommet tube assembly, turned on my water and checked for leaks.

I order the parts and went from there. Actually a very nice friend of mine did the labor. It took longer to defrost it in order to get things running again. I was without my refrigerator for 4 months had I known the parts would be so reasonable instead of what a repair man wanted to charge I would have done it sooner. thanks

Defrost timer is hidden in the control panel in the refrigerator top middle. Turn to off and remove two screws which are hidden behind white tabs. I had to pry the old timer from the plug with a screw driver because it was tight. Try not to short across the terminals. Plug in the new timer. Replace it in the clip where you got old one and reinstall the controls. The freezer was still all frosted up so I had to remove the cover and defrost it with a hair dryer to get it to work. Then I turned it on and it works great.

Checked the defroster coil which is located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment, it was still working. Followed the schematics down to the defrost timer, which is located in the lower front of the refrigerator and tried that. Plugged in the new part and the problem is solved.

Had to get behind the refrigerator and clean the drain out first and that took at least and hour. Just unplug the old motor. Took the old parts of the old motor, put them on the new one and plugged it back in.

Removed old defrost heater, cut wire then put heat shrink tubeing on wire,spliced wires slid tubing over splice applyed heat. JOB NONE

repalaced the old one with the new one. easy

Unplugged refrigerator. Removed relay by unclipping wire and pulling relay off compressor. Looked-up part number and ordered part. Replaced part and plugged in refrigerator.

Replaced cap and reinstalled. But I used iron nail inside cover to hold right side because crack was at right hole and right part would not help.

Barry G was right on with instructions and expectations of the process to trouble shoot parts and how to replace. Barry also provide the right part numbers for replacement items. Thanks again Barry.
