Why internal lights not working yet panel lights do?
There could be several reasons why the internal lights in a vehicle may not be working while the panel lights are functioning. Here are a few possible explanations:
1. Blown fuse: Check the fuse box to see if the fuse for the interior lights has blown. If it has, replace it with a new one of the same rating.
2. Faulty light switch: The switch that controls the interior lights may be faulty or worn out. Try toggling the switch on and off to see if it makes any difference. If not, consider replacing the switch.
3. Loose or corroded wiring: Inspect the wiring connections for the interior lights. Loose or corroded connections can disrupt the electrical flow and prevent the lights from working. Tighten any loose connections or clean off any corrosion.
4. Burnt-out bulbs: If all the interior lights are not working, it's possible that multiple bulbs have burnt out at the same time. Check the bulbs and replace any that are no longer functional.
5. Dimmer switch settings: Some vehicles have a dimmer switch that controls the brightness of the interior lights. Make sure the dimmer switch is not turned all the way down or set to a very low level.
If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it may be best to consult a professional mechanic or electrician to diagnose and repair the problem.
My GE double door refrigerator
If the ice maker line broke at the bottom of your GE double door freezer door, and an electrical line also came apart, you may need to access the interior of the freezer door to fix these issues. Here's a general guideline for accessing the interior of the freezer door:
1. Unplug the appliance: Start by disconnecting the power supply to ensure your safety while working on the freezer.
2. Empty the freezer door: Remove any items or shelves attached to the freezer door to clear the area and make it easier to work.
3. Remove the freezer door handle: The handle may be secured with screws or hidden clips. Carefully inspect the handle for any visible screws or fasteners. Unscrew or detach these components to remove the handle.
4. Remove the interior panel: Depending on the specific model, you may need to remove an interior panel to access the inner workings of the freezer door. Look for any screws or clips securing the panel and remove them accordingly. Be cautious not to force or damage any components while doing this.
5. Access the broken lines: Once you have removed the necessary panels, you should be able to access the broken ice maker line and the electrical line that came apart. Inspect the damage and repair or replace the broken lines as needed.
6. Reassemble the freezer door: After the repairs are complete, reattach the interior panel and secure it with screws or clips. Reinstall the freezer door handle using the appropriate screws or fasteners.
7. Test the functionality: Plug the appliance back in and check if the lights on the outside of the freezer door are now functioning and if the ice maker line is repaired. Monitor the appliance to ensure that everything is working correctly.
It's important to note that the specific steps and components may vary depending on the model of your GE double door freezer. It's always recommended to consult the user manual for your specific appliance model, as it will provide detailed instructions and diagrams for disassembling and repairing the freezer door.
Our GE Profile frig won't go into auto defrost mode
It is normal to build up frost at the Evaporator.
The Automatic-defrost-System removes the Ice 3 or 4 times, every 24 hours.(de-frosting).
1 The Fan MUST rotate , inside.
Is the Fan blowing Air inside,??
sometimes The door must be shut, then the fan-motor starts (,put your ear against the door when you close it and listen for the fan- noise,)
There may be an Automatic-Defrost fault:
Faulty :
Defrost-Timer, (electro-mecanical) ( DT ) c. fault.
Defrost-Heater,. ( DH ) common fault.
Defrost-Termination-Timer,. ( DTT)
(Over) Temperature-Fuse. ( TF )
If the Refrigerator has 'Electronic' controls,
a Computer controls the Automatic Defrosting.
A Temperature-Sensor replaces the DDT.
A Computer-controlled timer replaces the DT
----- A Sensor faulty?
-----Control Board (Computer) faulty. Common fault.

GE refrigerator constant irregular beeping
It looked like your model does NOT have an external ice/water control panel which has caused beeping problems on some models.
For your model I would try the following....
Door Alarm
The main cause of a beeping GE unit is an open refrigerator door. Some models are equipped with an internal door alarm, which trips when the door remains open for 3 minutes or longer.
One way to check this .... put your smartphone in the refrigerator on video mode and close the door. The light should go off with the door shut. If the video shows that the light stayed on when the door was closed ... then it reinforces that something is wrong with the switch/alarm. Repeat video for the freezer.
Door Seal
If beeping persists after the freezer or refrigerator door is closed, the door seals may be blocked or so dirty that the internal door alarm is tripped. The seals can be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Also, an item inside the refrigerator may be preventing the door from fully closing.
Cooling System
Reactivating the refrigerator's cooling system includes a beeping noise. When the refrigerator is off, the "Off/Off" light appears on the door display. When the "Adjust Freezer" and "Energy Saver" buttons are held down for approximately 3 seconds at the same time the beep sounds and the "Off/Off" indicator disappears. Hold the "Ice Off" and "Freezer" buttons to activate the cooling system inside of the fresh food compartment. A beep signals the system is activated. The beeping should stop after the cooling system turns on. If it fails to stop, try unplugging the power cord to reset the connection.
Power
The GE's internal door alarm can get stuck. Try unplugging the refrigerator for about 10 seconds and then plug it back in. If the beeping continues, the internal door alarm might be broken or defective. Contact the manufacturer or a technician for further assistance. One way to check this .... put your smartphone in the refrigerator on video and close the door. The light should go off with the door shut. If the video shows that the light stayed on when the door was closed ... then it reinforces that something is wrong with the switch/alarm.
Good luck on your troubleshooting!
