5 year old ge .No proper cooling on my ge profile
The fan bearings are probably gummed up with dirt or solidified lubricant. Unplug the unit and try turning the fan by hand. It should be easy to turn. If it is not check to see whether you can free the bearings with a quick rinse with WD-40. (If the bearings are sealed, you should replace the fan motor.)
Condenser fan barely runs on ge profile fridge
The bearings on the condensor fan motor are dry. You can attempt to lubricate the motor with a parifin based oil using either Union 76 "Turbine Oil" or a product called ZOOM-Spout turbine Oiler that is available in most hardware and appliance parts stores. See this link for examples of the oiler:

Do what you can to clean off the bearings and armature shaft then lubricate with the oil.
Most of the time lubrication will snap a tired fan out of running slow. On the hard molded motors (encased) lubrication takes much longer as you have to lubricate and wait for the oil to reach the lower bearing deep inside the housing. It is ok to oil from the top and let it run to the lower bearing. It will not hurt the fan. I place the fan on a paper towel for as long as I can and wait for the exvess to drain off before re-installing the motor. On the non-encased motors you can remove the bearings and clean the motor shaft and the bearing then lubricate reassemble and lubricate again.
If your using an external fan... it is OK to use the refrigerator while your waiting for the oil in the motor to drip out. Just make sure there is a 15 minute pause each time you remove power or the compressor will not re-start properly.

I have a 3 year old GE Profile microwave that
If it tripped the breaker with you only hitting the door switch it sounds like the door switch has a direct short. This means a hot wire is going to ground not good. But the first part of your problem sounded like the circuit was overloaded for the breaker or right at the limit of the breaker.(probably a 15 amp breaker) Breakers do get old and if you are working at there limit they will trip and more often over time. What else is on this circuit? Make sure you are not overloading your line. Take each appliance or light and take the wattage listed on it and devide it by the voltage this equals your amps then add all the amps up they should not be more that your breaker and usually only 80% of your breaker the 20% is for devices with motors or compressors that spike amps temporarily. good luck and be careful
Freezer is leaking water from the inside panel.
Clean the drain tray and drain line in the back of the freezer
section, located
behind
the back cover and underneath the evaporator coil. (hint: use turkey
baster with
hot water)
Make sure water drains when you
pour it in. If it doesn't - also clean drain tube on the back of the
unit behind the cover. When done - make sure to put the tube exactly
where it was.
Good luck! :)

When I press Start - Runs for 5 seconds and stops.
I tried the "side dish" option with a glass of water in the microwave. The turntable continued to turn - it didn't turn off in 5 seconds- but then smoke started coming out of every vent. I think that killed it. I decided to go buy a new one.
