The compressor stopped running in July; circuit breaker for that area of kitchen was tripped, apparently by the frig itself. I replaced the control board myself on this GTS22WCMBRWW model GE refrigerator a few weeks ago because the old board had the usual "burn-out" issue. The new board is the newer version that GE is using as a replacement.
It ran fine for three weeks, then compressor stopped running again; fan continued to blow air. Everything inside got warm.
Repair tech replaced compressor relay and overload. All ran OK for five days and now the same thing has happened all over again; compressor does not run, fan continues to run.
Repair is getting too expensive to be worth it, but I will take one last shot at trying to solve this problem before I order a new refrigerator ( not a GE !)
Can anyone suggest what could be going on?
I know I should try to get the repair tech to come back out and check it at no charge, but I don’t feel like having to fight with someone over repair costs on a machine that probably should be scrapped anyway.
I would like to replace the Light socket and lens assembly in my double oven–top oven. How do I get the old assembly out. Do I get a screw driver around the side of the assembly and try to work it out or is there some other way. I would imagine the new assembly has wire connectors on the back and that it merely needs to be pushed into place and some spring metal on the side of the assembly that holds it in place. Thanks for any help you can give me. Pat
Thanks for your help. I will try your suggestion. The manual pages are very helpful.
Hi - I have the same issue on an old KitchenAid KEBS277XBL2 oven, and I’ve found the new part I need to replace the light socket, but I’m not sure how to get out the old socket without doing damage to the rest of the oven. The link to the service manual PDF listed earlier does not work, so I was wondering if there was another way to get to the service manual. Thanks, -BK
Link still works for me though you will have to force it to go there as it comes up with a certificate error. Put it in as an exception in Firefox or in Explorer tell it to continue to the website.
I tried it on both Firefox and Explorer

Be sure to shut off the power, 240 volts is lethal.
Trying to force it out will just tighten up the clips.
Here is a service manual, not for your unit but the light socket looks the same.

See page 3-15
Get a small hook, a ground down allen key may work, then try to grab the from the inside of the socket and pull them into the socket to release it.

I have a built-in oven. Do I have to remove the oven in order to replace the socket? Thanks
Do I have to remove the oven in order to replace the socket?
Yes you will probably have to remove it.
