XSS25GGPBCBB General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

I replaced defrost sets, door gasket but still ice buildup freezer part.

I called out a repairman who used a laptop to troubleshoot. He charged me $119 just to come out. He told me that the control board wasn't telling the evaporator to periodically defrost and I noticed that it was encased in ice. Then, he gave me an estimate of $400 to replace the board. Breaking down the estimate, that would be $200 for labor, about 30 minutes, and another $200 for the board, however, he didn't have a replacement board in stock. Knowing that I could replace the board myself, I was happy to order the board from PartSelect and save on the $200 labor charge.

Pull out old drawer and replace with new one.

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.

Had to defrost the freezer to melt off all the ice before servicing. Once that was done the icemaker replacement only took about 15-30 minutes to complete. The new icemaker came with many accessories and adaptors that were not needed and the instructions were based on replacing an older model and not really clear for my model. They mentioned not being able to use the new stripper but it was exactly the same as the old one so I left the new one in place. All in all it was easy and did the job.

My wife did it in less than five minutes

WE (WIFE) took out the old parts an replaced with new one ..Be careful to get the placement of the Grommet or they "POP" out on you. fast ship on the parts too.

Uncovering the motor is the most difficult part. Installation is stupid-easy. Put all of the coverings back on in reverse order to the way they were removed. I don't think the ice maker has to come out but we weren't using it so it came out first.

My husband took out the old icemaker in about 5 minutes. The new icemaker was a perfect fit even though the refrigerator was >10yrs old. The only difficult part was the plug extension that was needed so that it would fit into an older appliance. The part was included, it just made the cord about 3 inches longer than it needed to. After working with it for about 20 minutes we were able to fit it on the back side of the icemaker. Now it works great!!

aligned and pushed on by hand

Ordered the part on a Tuesday and received the NEXT day. Slid out the damaged part and then slid in the new part!!! Excellent Service from your company and will recommend highly!!!

+The shelf face has little plastic locator clips that snapped off. the shelf face just comes off with a light lift of these two clips and a slight upward pull then lift up and off. The new one slips on with the top slipping onto the top rail of shelf, then push the bottom tow clips over the bottom rail of the shelf. There you have it smooth as glass.

Unplug the refrigerator. Gently pry old switch out with screw driver. Move wires to connector on new switch with needle nose pliers. Pop it back into the hole. Plug back in. Peek inside to see the lights working.

The new part installed without problem always had great service

ordered a new one; took 1 second to put in.
