GE double door fridge repair
Previous owner bought in 2001 fm department store..paid 1200 bucks for it (left us paperwork and rcpt) so thought it was worth trying the repair. Defrost with thermostat and timer. $140... Very easy install, exact fit. About 25 min after cleaning out fridge/freezer. Thanks for the videos on your website. Although you can find anything you want on YouTube these days, nice to have it where you are buying.

So far so good.
I didn't have any issues in replacing the part. The part looked and fit just like the old one which is not always the case when replacing parts on older appliances. So far the repair has been successful. No issues with the coils frosting up like before. This site was very helpful with the information especially the success percentages given for resolving the issue with the parts suggested to fix the problem. If need be, I'll use it again.

The refrigerator works again as a charm
The Defrost heater arrived quickly and worked as described. Replacement requires unplugging the refrigerator and removing all the shelves and the bottom screws of the shelve tracks on the side walls of the freezer. Two screws hold the back plate in place. The coils were frozen solid so it took a while to defrost before the back plate could be removed. At that point the heater simply plugs into the cable harness and two screws hold the heat lamp in place. Replacement is very easy, but I wish I had found an instruction video to guide me. This is the second time I have replaced the defrost heater in fifteen years.

Freezer was not freezing and refidgefatir side not cooling at all
I removed the back panel of the freezer to troubleshoot and found the coils to be completely frosted over and the bottom of the freezer was a block of ice. The cold air was not allowed to circulate over to the refrigerator side. I put a meter on the defrost heater at the bottom (basically it's a wire filaments encased in a glass tube) and there was no continuity which meant it was bad. I also took the defrost sensor (small round sensor at the top above the coils) and put it in a working freezer then after awhile I took it out and put a meter on it until it warmed it up and it clicked so I knew that worked. The defrost sensor should show continuity (closed circuit) when cold and no continuity (open circuit) when warm.
So at this point I knew the problem was the defrost heater due to no continuity. I purchased the defrost heater assembly which also came with a new sensor. Unplug the old and plug in the new. Super simple. The defrost cycle works as it should and now the refrigerator works perfect.

Make sure you put everything back in the order you took them out.
I had to back-track acouple of times because I put the shelf brackets back in before I had the back panel in.It was also alittle tight getting the thermostat snapped back on the refrigerant line because it is a tight space and I have big hands.For a first timer who has had minimal experiance it wasn't too tough.

Freezer section drips water from middle of back wall of freezer and accumulates on bottom of freezer that turn to ice. Looks like a frozen waterfall I have to chop it out once a week so that it does not spill over on the floors outside the freezer door. I thought I would need the heater part but I think I need the the fan part that is no longer available. What say you? Thanks for any advice
For model number TPS24BPDABS

Hi Robert, Thank you for the question. If the fan is still running you will not need to replace it. You can also try to clean the fan blades and vacuum the coils on the back of the appliance. You can test the Defrost Thermostat as well. The best way to do this is to remove the Thermostat from the refrigerator so you can control the temperature of the sensor. You can let the sensor warm up to room temperature. With the sensor warmed up to room temperature the sensor should read approximately 6.2K Ohms at 68°F. With the thermistor submerged is a glass full of ice water, the sensor should be very close to 32°F which should read approximately 16.3K Ohms. If the values that you are getting are far off from these readings, then the sensor is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps!
