Model GS20-D side by side will not cycle. Why?
Hello Carol;
My name is Peter. I am a retired field service technician.
Your given model number has more digits to it, therefore I can not identify your particular unit for spare parts numbers.
1.) Defrost Timer - Remove the front bottom grill. It just clips on, 1 clip on each end - just pull on it. On the bottom right you will see a small plate with a hole through it. This hole has a slot for a screw driver. With a flat head screw driver turn the slot clockwise. You will hear a clicking sound. Slowly turn one click at a time until the refrigerator turns off.
Wait 30 minutes. Observe the freezer back wall. Do you hear a hissing sound (condensate hitting the heater) or is the back defrosting? If this is happening then you have a bad defrost timer.
If this is not happening your defrost timer is good. Using your screw driver turn the slot 1 click at a time until you refrigerator turns on.
2.) Defrost Heater - Purchase this part before you start the work. Observe the part and the connectors on it. Unplug the unit. Completely empty your freezer section and all shelf. Remove the light bulb cover, it clips on squeeze to remove. Remove the light bulb. Unscrew all of the screws in the back panel. This panel has rubber strips on each side and may give you some difficulty removing the back panel. Observe how the heater is mounted. There are two reflector plate holding each heating element, remove them, 1 screw on each side. Disconnect the existing heater and install the new heater. BE CAREFUL THE FREEZER COIL IS RASOR SHARP, WEAR GLOVES. Reassemble. I do not think you will have to remove the ice maker and bucket, but you may, to remove the lower back panel.
Purchase Locally: Defrost Timer $63.00. Defrost Heater $65.00.
Purchase over the internet for about 1/2 price.

Whats could cause my refrigerator stop getting cold?
The coils are probably freezing up. If so, then u will need to remove all your items and unplug the unit for 24 hours. Find out if that is the problem so u can fix it after you dethaw for 24 hours. New models have a panel against the back of INSIDE of fridge. You do not want to remove this until most of the ice is melted as it will tear off insulation and destroy the panel. If coils are frozen its probably the evaporator fan. Next option would be control board if newer model. That's all I know from experience. Hope that helps:)
Magic chef CGR1320BDH range won't light.
Hi,
Most likely you will need a spark module, part number 74004282, its not difficult to replace, should be located on the back of the unit, could be blue or white in color. I just looked this up and I was shocked at the cost, same manufacture makes a 12001596 part if you want to save money but may require to change terminal end to make this work. your possible saving would be 300 percent with the other part. Good Luck, be sure to unplug unit and be safe. I’m happy to help further over the phone at
