Parts for Ge AZ85W18DACM2: Capillary Tubes Parts

A replacement capillary tube that meters refrigerant flow into the evaporator to help the refrigerator maintain proper cooling. Fits into the sealed refrigeration circuit and restores correct refrigerant distribution when the tube is damaged or clogged. What it does

• Regulates refrigerant flow from the high-pressure side into the evaporator for proper cooling.
• Commonly replaced when a blockage, kink, or internal collapse causes reduced cooling or uneven temperatures.
• Can help address frost buildup in the wrong location or a refrigerator that runs but fails to reach cold temperatures.
• Works as part of the sealed refrigeration system alongside the compressor, evaporator, and condenser.

• One capillary tube.

• Refrigeration system service may require evacuation and recharge of refrigerant.
• Turn off power to the appliance before beginning work and follow lockout/tagout safety practices.
• Tubing connections may require brazing or flaring and leak testing after installation.
• Replace with the exact part number to ensure proper fit and system performance.

This capillary tube is the thin sensing tube used with a temperature control/thermostat to monitor and regulate appliance temperature. It restores proper sensing so the control can maintain set temperatures more reliably. What it does:

• Acts as the remote temperature sensor for the thermostat/control
• Transmits temperature changes from the appliance cavity to the control mechanism
• Helps correct symptoms such as incorrect cycling, temperature drift, or failure to maintain set temperature
• Required when the original sensing tube is kinked, punctured, separated, or otherwise damaged

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the tube gently to avoid kinks, sharp bends, or crushing the capillary
• Replacing or routing the capillary may require careful positioning; avoid contact with hot surfaces or moving parts

This lead tube directs gas safely from the appliance manifold to the valve assembly, helping maintain a sealed fuel path for reliable burner operation. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original tube is cracked, corroded, or leaking. What it does

• Channels gas between the manifold and gas valve or burner assembly to support proper ignition
• Restores a sealed gas path if the original tube is damaged or leaking
• Helps prevent gas leaks that can cause poor burner performance or safety risks
• Matches OEM fit and routing to maintain correct clearance and connection alignment

• One replacement lead tube as shown

• Turn off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing; follow all local codes
• Inspect fittings and seals; use replacement gaskets or sealant only if specified by the appliance manufacturer
• Tighten connections to the manufacturer's torque recommendations and check for leaks with a soap solution or approved leak detector
