GUAP240EM2WW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

I had really hoped these new knob dual skirts would be made of metal and therefore superior to the ones that came with the oven, but alas, these are also made of plastic. It was easy to screw them into place although they didn’t come with screws I just used the old screws. I sure hope they last longer than the originals!

I haven’t received the wheel yet. Originally ordered on Dec. 13. Hadn’t received it by Dec. 20. Finally shipped on Dec. 22. Tracking said it was expected to be delivered on Jan.2. Not delivered. Then it said it was still on its way but it was unknown when it would be delivered. Still waiting on Jan. 6. By far the most expensive economy shipping ever, as this refrigerator is in a rental that can’t be rented until a wheel is installed.

NEVER DID. WAS SENT THE WRONG GASKET PART.

TOOK TWO DIFFERENT APPLIANCE PEOPLE TO TELL ME IT WAS THE WRONG GASKET. VERY FRUSTRATING. THEY SAID SHOULD HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS TO COMPANY SINCE I SUPPLIED THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER.

BECAUSE I COULD NOT PRINT A RETURN ( I HAVE NO WORKING PRINTER.) CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID WOULD TAKE TWO WEEKS TO SEND ME RETURN SLIP. NEVER RECEIVED IT WITHIN 30 DAY WINDOW.

LOST MY MONEY. $95+$75= $170 GASKET, SHIPPING PLUS APPLIANCE REPAIR CHARGE. STUCK WITH WRONG GASKET.

DON'T USE THESE PEOPLE...EVER.

On the move-in cleaning of the refrigerator I accidentally broke the glass encased shelf, and I don't believe there was a cover (glass or otherwise) in place that covered the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable bins. Wondering through the internet I found Part Select, ordered Parts 224 and 228. Installation really did take less than 30 minutes including, washing, drying, and placement of the two shelves. It's exactly what was needed. The refrigerator once again looks like a refrigerator with all the shelves in place. The customer service folks were more than helpful. All you need to do before placing the order is look at what you need to replace, write down the the model number, the serial number of your product part needed and chat with the customer service folks. All should go well. I'm happy.

Turned off unit, removed freezer door then refrigerated door placed on table? Removed old gaskets and installed new

The hardest part of the repair was emptying the freezer, next was getting the fan off of the motor shaft, The only reason the job was difficult is because i am 67 years old and not as flexible as i used to be.I had a tough time getting the fan off of the motor shaft, but i got it off with the use of a vise, and had to use the hammer and a socket to install a new fan blade.

Pulled the door off easily and noticed that the spacer on the Center hinge was ground down to nothing and that a small screw in the bottom plate of the door was half way out. This screw would catch on the cabinet Center hinge bracket and stopped the door from closing. Problem was solved by tightening the screw and putting in a new "spacer" that kept the small screws from contacting the Center hinge bracket. The freezer door now closes like new.

two screws and a connector were removed to replace the timer.
Timer was located on the top front of fridge

Parts Select made this an effortless process. From finding the part, ordering, to the online diagrams.

I'll be back...

After replacing the light bulb and still no light I manually pushed the light switch button. Intermittently the light would come on then go out. I removed the power plug from the power source then replaced the light switch. I plugged the refrigerator back in and now I open the door the light comes on and stays on until the door is closed.

The part was delivered promptly. Then, to quote Raymond from Georgia:
I pulled the old one out, and put the new one in.

The old switch was hard to remove. Thinking that I may have to loosen the wires I used a socket wrench to remove a clamp. This was unnecessary. In the end the switch did come out using a large size screwdriver. The problem was that the expanding plastic tongue is not visible from the ouside so you have to try to feel your way around. If i had ordered the replacement before and not afterwards I would have seen this before hand.

Installed the new timer.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. I then connected the wires to the new element and reinstalled the two screws. A brief test showed the element worked and that was it.

I unscrewed two screws inside the over over the element. Then I slowly pulled the element out and unplugged the two wires attached. Afterward I pushed the element back in place and screwed it back in and was done. Sure saved $550 I thought I might have to spend on a new oven,
