The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part manages the defrost cycle of the fridge and freezer compartments, ensuring that the evaporator coils do not build up excessive frost. 

This cycling is crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures for food preservation and energy efficiency. Over time, the defrost timer can malfunction due to wear, electrical issues, or a buildup of dust and debris, leading to poor performance or failure.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer is not maintaining the set temperature
• The fridge or freezer sections are too warm
• The defrost cycle does not activate, leading to reduced cooling efficiency

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

This evaporator cover protects the refrigerator's evaporator area and channels airflow for proper cold distribution. It helps shield coils and components from damage and limits ice buildup that can impair performance. What it does:

• Protects evaporator coils, fan and defrost components from accidental contact and debris
• Directs airflow over the evaporator for more even cooling in the compartment
• Helps reduce localized frost buildup that can indicate airflow or defrost issues
• Commonly replaced when cracked, broken mounting tabs prevent secure fit, or airflow is disrupted

• One evaporator cover

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid shock or compressor damage
• Remove interior panels and shelves as needed to access the evaporator area; retain fasteners for reassembly
• Inspect mounting tabs and surrounding seals; replace damaged clips or retainers for a secure fit
• Handle gently to avoid cracking the plastic

This evaporator fan motor kit powers the fan that moves air across the evaporator coils and through your refrigerator. Replacing a worn motor restores proper airflow to help maintain stable temperatures and dependable cooling performance.

• Drives the evaporator circulation fan to distribute chilled air through the compartments
• Helps keep temperatures even and reduces hot or cold spots
• Common failure signs: no fan sound or airflow, intermittent operation, or loud squealing/grinding
• Indicated by frost or ice buildup on the rear panel around the evaporator

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove the rear cover and carefully clear any ice as needed
• Transfer the existing fan blade and any reusable mounting parts as required by your model; note fan orientation
• Make secure electrical connections, then reassemble and restore power

This condenser fan mounting bracket secures the condenser fan motor and blade in the correct position to move air across the coils. Replacing a cracked or bent bracket restores stable mounting, reduces vibration, and helps maintain proper condenser airflow.

• Holds the condenser fan motor/blade assembly in alignment for proper airflow through the condenser
• Maintains clearance to prevent the fan blade from rubbing or contacting nearby components
• Helps reduce rattling, vibration, or scraping noises from the rear of the refrigerator
• Damage or misalignment can contribute to restricted condenser airflow and warmer temperatures

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator away from the wall to access the rear service area
• Remove the rear lower access panel; note wiring and hardware locations
• Support the fan motor/blade while removing the old bracket; transfer motor, blade, grommets, and screws to the new bracket
• The fan spins freely with proper clearance and correct airflow direction before reassembly

This defrost thermostat is a clip-on, bi-metal safety control for the freezer evaporator. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper automatic defrost, helping prevent heavy frost buildup and temperature swings in the fresh food section.

• Monitors evaporator coil temperature and opens the defrost circuit when the coil warms to the cutoff point
• Helps prevent excessive frost that restricts airflow and reduces cooling performance
• Common failure symptoms: persistent frost on the evaporator, poor cooling/warm fridge, unit running longer than normal, or defrost heater staying on too long
• Mounts on the evaporator tubing; closes when cold and opens as the coil warms during defrost

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the refrigerator's cooling system by providing the necessary start and run voltage to the compressor. Without a properly functioning run capacitor, your refrigerator may struggle to maintain the desired temperature, leading to spoiled food and inefficient energy use.

Causes of a bad run capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating due to a malfunctioning refrigerator compressor or poor ventilation.

Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:

• The refrigerator compressor fails to start.
• Unusual humming noises coming from the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator cycles on and off more frequently than normal.
• A noticeable increase in energy consumption as the refrigerator struggles to maintain the proper temperature.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
