Three decisions for GE refrigerators, and they are the three that actually come up: the control board, the ice maker assembly, and the compressor. They are listed here from the most bounded to the most consequential, and that ordering is most of the advice. A board is a contained repair, an ice maker is a self-contained assembly plenty of households live without, and a compressor puts the machine's whole remaining life on the table at once.
Each page proves the part before it prices it. Warm compartments with the fans still running point somewhere other than the compressor. An ice maker that fills but never harvests is a different fault from one that never fills. The board is suspected last on a GE for the same reason it is suspected last anywhere. Once the diagnosis holds, the page sets the part cost against the machine and against whichever of the other two is likeliest to follow.
The board and the ice maker are ordinary component work at line voltage. The compressor is not: it sits inside a sealed refrigerant system, which is restricted work regardless of skill, and on a GE that one decision usually swallows the other two. Before reading any quote, establish whether your model and serial still fall inside the sealed-system warranty term, which is often longer than the general one.
