GCA23LBYDFWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Really easy

Poped whole switch out with flat head screw driver. Removed wires with needle nose players and held the wires so they wouldn't get pulled back inside fridge shell. Attached wires to new part like a plug. Lights ccame back put new switch back inside wall. Shut door

When the Part Select website predicted delivery in a couple of days, I doubted - I was prepared to wait a week or so. Incredibly, the part arrived the day after I ordered it. Replacing it was no problem, because the exploded view of the hinge area showed a clear and easy way to remove the broken part and slip in the new. It was just 2 inches of plastic, but if I hadn't found it so easily, the whole appliance would have been useless.

The thermostat was set at 0 for the freezer, but at 37 for the refrigerator. The refrigerator was showing a temperature of 20 degrees and would not stay at 37. After learning the 3 choices it could be (air inlet cover, thermostat, and computer), I went for the air inlet on the basis of percentage of repair. With this particular refrigerator with this problem; this is repair has the highest chance of success. Nice on-line decision making tool! I went with choices of previous buyers and followed previous buyers instructions. All I needed was a couple of Phillips head screw drivers, and cleaning the dirt I was finding in the refrigerator was the biggest job.

changed sensors did not repair problem,replaced damper with mechanical damper fixed problem.

Used a small screw driver to remove the damaged switch. Carefully unhooked the two wires and hooked the wires to the new switch. Pushed the new switch into place. Be careful that the wires do not pull back into the refrigerator wall. Took about 15 minutes. Works like New. Easy fix.

no brainer,watched the video,worst thing was to thaw the freezer,it was realy frosted,works like new,very happy thank you.

Pried out the old light switch, disconnected electrical, reconnected electrical in new switch, pushed new switch back into door.

killed power-gently pried out old switch using two screw drivers-replaced faulty switch-and tested OK.

took out shelves and removed the back plate my removing 2 screws with a nutdriver.removed the old defrost timer and defrost heater which was really easy.then installed the new ones.the video i watched on the website was really helpfull.

Pried the switch on the bottom with a flathead screwdriver, twisted it and the switch came out far enough to take it out by hand. The bottom of the switch has to be raised upward a little because the connectors are on top of the switch. Changed the wires from the old switch to the new one, one at a time. Insert the new switch. Saved a repair call, and probably a more expensive switch. Less then 15 minutes.

as per video- follow all of the videos and u r going to save a lot of money tx partselect im glad I found u guys ps only order from partselect.com they only ship the correct parts remember look at the video select the symptom and buy as per video tx again problemsolved

Following the lead of other posted on this site, I removed the old air inlet cover after emptying the refrigerator. (That took the most time) 1. It's easiest if you remove all the shelves. 2. To access the upper two screws remove the top light cover - it has press in holders on each side. 3. As mentioned in other posts, there are four screws holding the Inlet Cover in place, 2 lower and 2 upper. 4. To get access to the lower two screws,you simply pop off the lower duct assembly. Take out the screws and remove the air duct. Unplug the electrical connector. 5. I had to use the added insulation spacer to seal the unit into the cold air opening. 6. Plug the new air inlet cover unit in and put back in place. 7. Install screws, put lower duct back in, and put light cover back in place. 8. Since shelves were all out, it was easy to give them a good cleaning and put they whole thing back together. 9. Relax and have a cold beverage of your choice. (I took old air inlet apart and lo and behold, the damper door was broken off. Problem solved.

The repair is a snap, you can watch the video and it will put you on the right path. My story is more about the service that Part Select gave me. I used a small box fan on low as a temporary fix. My model number was worn off from the box wine we store in that particular place. So I ordered the part based on looks, well it was wrong. Called Part Select and we talked, the nice lady on the other end said OH it must be this fan motor. Send us back that one, and I'll get this out too you. I'll credit your account for $7.99, and it cost me $8.99 to ship back the wrong part. Wow, the next day I received the new motor. They sent it overnight! I thought it would be 5-6 days! Unbelievable. I will use this company for any, and all my repairs.

Followed directions and it was quite easy.
