7 years later your video came in clutch!! Had watched dozens of videos before finding this one. The "professionals" suggested I replace the heating element, thermostat, and thermostat timer so that's what I planned to do. You mentioned "Ice under the crisper drawer" at the beginning (mine was doing the same) and after seeing how your coils looked (mine looked the exact same) I decided taking the easier route and replace the fan before starting the other higher level replacements. Ordered the exact replacement from Amazon and VIOLA!! After install, the frost began to melt within minutes and the blocks of ice were gone in a couple hours. You saved me big bucks. THANK YOU!!
Do I have to replace the ac blower motor or just clean it? Or is that even necessary? I mean how good of a job would it do if I just insert the tube down into the centre air vent?
I have seen it done going through the vent, so that may work for you. I had great luck with going through the blower motor. It seemed to really get into the areas that would hold the mildew even though it was a more difficult job.
I have a GE model GFSS6KKYESS and the door switch for the French Door does not work. My light does not go off when I push the switch. All the sites I've checked say the door switch part is no longer available. Do you have any suggestions to help me fix this problem? My Ice Maker does not work because of the door switch problem. I could not even find the door switch for the bottom freezer. Any help will be appreciated.
@@ljschuby99 Thank you! Just checked but it's a different type of switch. However, in the process of looking for the number you gave me, I found WR23X10725 which looks like it may work. Thank you again!
Great video. Was told by technician that fan was no longer being produce to fridge being old, would need a new fridge. Went on Amazon and got a replacement for 30, and now know how to replace. Thank you and God bless you.
The fan will not run constantly. The thermostat will turn it on and off. If it is not turning on at all and it cooling the fridge after a few hours, then there may be an issue with thermostat.
Also when you change the fan and the temperature is changing freezer is going down as is the refrigerator example start g out 72 on both, freezer goes to3 and refrigerator goes to 50 , and I see frost on the coils , is that normal and how long should it take to get to the correct temperatures?
I find your video easy to understand. My GE fridge is almost identical except for the controls. If I can find the model number could you please help me find the right part so I can try to fix it? I’m in Hartly, Delaware been putting it off for some time. Thank you.
@@ljschuby99 the model is GFE28GSKJSS and serial #VL511307 is there any other type of information needed for the fan part? It is a GE French door fridge with bottom pull out freezer Omgh looking forward to trying to fix it so I can have normal food and milk lasting longer that only 3 days. You are a lifesaver!
@@ljschuby99 it’s working!! Was no ice on the coils. Part came today and I just finished putting it all back together!! Thank you so very much you are a God send. I pray God blesses you and your family abundantly overflowing!!
Two years ago I followed your instructions and replaced the evaporator fan (thank you). The cooling problem was solved with a new fan but right after that I noticed ice started building under the vegetable drawers. Any ideas what to do about correcting it?
It could be frozen drain tubes. You could take off the back cover and insect to see if anything looks frozen. Sometimes thawing that out will fix the water/condensation draining problem. Also, I know it sounds crazy, but I have heard of the fans going bad again. Even an intermittent fan issue could cause a problem like this. So, if nothing else that may be a relatively cheap replacement fix to see if it takes care of the ice under the tray.
New fan should take care of your problem then. The fans now do not require the software update, so you should be good to go after replacing it. Good luck!
I want to let you know I really appreciate you posting this video. It was a lifesaver for me. Our dryer has been out for almost a week and even though it’s under warranty through Speed Queen we still have yet to receive a call from the repairman to come take a look! With your video I was able to get an element that I bought off Amazon replaced in just a few minutes. Thank you so much!
Saved a few hundred dollars thanks to your video! My fridge was nearly the same but had a slightly different design than yours in the video. Mine had a button that you can press that changes the temp in the crisper and has a second smaller fan inside of a big styrofoam housing. I was worried when I found it that it might have been the cause of the problem. But after I swapped the larger center fan, by the next morning, the fridge was cold! My thanks to you!!!
I ordered the fan for less than $20 from Amazon & followed your steps to replace it. The fridge was cool in no time. The other issue I was having is no water being dispensed. That has not resolved as of yet. Any thoughts?
Does the same apply for right hand drive e90s ? Obviously I would spray the other direction but is the blower motor always located on the passenger side ? Thanks
I’m glad I found this video. I’m having the same issue so I hope this will solve it. I’ll let you know if this was the right fix! (Praying it is so I can do it myself. Can’t afford a repairman)
Very helpful video, thank you for posting. We had the fan replaced once already at a cost of $400 so I'm glad to give it a try on my own this time. You show the software (upgrade?) at the end and I'm just curious does this have to be ordered separate or will the fan come with that addition? There are a variety of choices when I look for the part and it makes me think that the more expensive ones will have that software? Any additional insight is greatly appreciated.
The specs were changed and the replacement fans no longer require the software upgrade, so you will be fine to swap it out without needing the software change.
Thanks for the video. What if the evaporator fan works just fine? Top of fridge isn’t getting as cool, bottom deli drawer is freezing, water dispenser is freezing and won’t dispense. Do I need to replace the deli drawer fan? Or is it another issue?
6.5 years after you posted this video and it's still valuable to helping people! The steps aren't exactly the same on my GFD28GELCDS, but close enough for me to get the repair done myself for a fraction of the cost of a repair person. Hopefully commenting keeps this video up high in Google search results. I'll also add that all the nuts I had to remove were 1/4"; maybe that'll save someone a few steps back and forth to the toolbox.
So, it was indeed the fan…the old one had seized and my symptoms were identical to the one in your video. However, I didn’t get any cable for performing a software update. Is this essential?
@@ljschuby99 Thank you for your prompt reply. I’m happy to report that a scant 12 hours later the freezer now sits at a perfect 0, and the fridge at 39… I’m not sure it’s ever been this perfect as I seem to recall cleaning ice from under the deli drawer since we first got the fridge new from a scratch and dent vendor. I must thank you for your fabulous video. Clear, concise, accurate, and reassuring. I’ve been empowered by the experience and I’m sure everyone who hears me boast of this successful venture is a bit bored of it. For the record, I’m a middle aged single mom with a college degree in a World Language and had little training or experience with engineering or technical skills. Your work here is very deeply appreciated. By many, I see.🤟☮️
Besides running the hot water before starting the cycle, put the pod in the flatware caddy. It will dissolve partially in the pre-wash cycle and fully dissolve in the main wash. Your dishes will come out clean. Furthermore, you won't have that heavy perfume scent lingering on your dishes. Just try this once. But yes, always run the hot water faucet til ripping hot then immediately start the machine. Delay Cycle is not your best friend.
I started doing the same thing. We have hard water (minerals) and that may impact the whole process. I'm not sure. But the pod in the flatware trick seems to help.
There are several options for the mirrors, with and without puddle lights and signal lights. The new OEM part number for the right side heated mirror with the puddle lights and signal light is 87910-35c01. The previous number is 87910-35c00. You may also find them on Amz under either number. Just be sure to get the one with the options that you need for your model.
