Nothing much. It needed the snack pan, which it has never had.
The door was the main issue. My young son would hang on the door. We started having problems with it not closing. Then on day it snapped off. We repaired the screw but found the hole was stripped out. We moved the door to the other side. When the door fell off it broke the upper door shelf. This was a quick slide in repair that did not require any tools.

Find online diagram of freezer section for reference. Disconnect power, remove evap cover plate (214) by removing one of the drawer guide rails.

As evidence of your problem, you might see a giant block of ice built up around the coil. Let this defrost this before continuing.

Find THERMOSTAT DEFROST (24) sensor and clip connecting wires. Match replacement sensor wires by color. Twist and solder wires; or wire-nuts and twisting alone might be okay. If not soldering, seal the wire-nuts connections from moister with a good sizeable piece of duct tape. Make sure your wires are out of the way and not left dangling on the evap heater coil, where they could melt.

Suggest concurrent replacement of evap fan motor if this has not already been done in the past.. This become noisy with age and damage from the ice build up seems to have made mine worse.

On the internet forum I read that if the control board needs to be changed , do the same for the Run Capacitor/relay.
The Ge profile refrigerator was 15 years old. First I disconnect the power cord,
I removed the control board at the back of the fridge, replaced it with a new one and did the same for the run capacitor.
Plugged the power cord back and it works fine. GE repair service did not want to come to do it. DIY is fine.

Easy

Remove the drawer and the shelf glass assembly. using a #2 phillips screwdriver remove the two screws that hold the drawer slide rail. Discard the old slide and place the new slide in position and install the two screws. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws. Place the drawer back on the slide and close it. Next place the front of the glass shelf under the lip on the front of the slide rail and set it in place. Job Complete!

Part received quickly and was a very good deal!

The broken slide rail mounting was held with 2 screws. I removed the plastic shelf on the top and unscrewed the broken part. I replaced it with the new slide rail part and screwed in the 2 screws. I replaced the slide drawer and the top shelf and the job was done...... very easy! Very satisfied!

pluged the wire harness into the new socket from the back and snaped the socket in place.

We went for months not knowing where to get the part we needed until my husband found your site on line. The first part we received was wrong, but with the help of your operators, we then received the correct part. It was only a matter of removing two screws, placing the slide and then putting the 2 screws back in. It was a snap.

Frig parts had been scavenged in an apartment complex. Restoring socket was only a matter of plugging in two spade contacts and clipping in socket.

First I removed the glass shelf on top of the drawer. I then removed the drawer and unscrewed the old drawer rail. After this I cleaned everything, screwed in the new drawer rail, reinstalled glass and drawer and I was finished.

Piece of cake - just unscrew the screws and put the new piece on, replace the glass top and replace the drawer. No brainer. Don't ever pay someone to do it.

3 weeks After changing the defrost heater, i had to change the thermostat, part was suppose to come with wire connectors and everything needed, it didn't. Cut two wires to old thermostst, strip about a 1/4 inch of insulation and crimp new wires on part together. cover with heat shrink and heat with lighter until sealed.

verify the heating element was o.k., found the top of the thermostat popped off,it had water in it,probably froze and came apart,cut the wires to the old thermostat and splice the new ones together,put the cover back on and verify operation
