The Light Socket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for holding the refrigerator's light bulb and ensuring it receives power to illuminate the interior when the door is opened.

You should replace the light socket if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad light socket can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues such as short circuits or power surges, and corrosion from moisture exposure.

Symptoms of a bad light socket include:

• The refrigerator light not turning on when the door is opened
• Flickering or intermittent light operation
• Visible damage or corrosion on the socket
• The light bulb not fitting securely or falling out

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

The defrost heater warms the evaporator during automatic defrost cycles to remove frost and ice, restoring airflow and cooling. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent frost buildup and maintain more consistent temperatures throughout the refrigerator.

• Melts frost from the evaporator coil during scheduled defrost cycles
• Helps maintain airflow and cooling performance between compartments
• Failure may cause heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator cover
• Can lead to reduced cooling, long run times, or fan noise from ice contact

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate gloves.
• Remove freezer shelves/ice maker as needed and the rear panel to access the evaporator area.
• Defrost any ice buildup and avoid damaging evaporator fins or wiring.
• Reuse original mounting hardware/clips as needed; check the defrost thermostat and control if frost issues continue.

This trough drain collects and channels defrost and condensation water from the evaporator area to the drain system, helping prevent leaks and pooling inside the refrigerator. It restores proper water flow and reduces standing water. What it does:

• Collects defrost/condensation runoff from the evaporator area and directs it to the drain pan.
• Helps prevent water pooling inside the fridge or under crisper drawers.
• Reduces ice buildup and musty odors caused by trapped moisture.
• Replaces cracked or warped troughs that allow leaks or improper drainage.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Remove food, shelves and the evaporator cover/pan as required for access; follow the service manual for your model.
• Clean the drain tube and drain hole before installing to ensure proper drainage.

The Defrost Timer is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It regulates the automatic defrost cycle, which helps maintain optimal cooling and preserving food freshness inside the fridge. The defrost timer controls when the refrigerator exits cooling mode to enter a brief defrost period, preventing the buildup of ice on cooling coils. 10hr/35min timer.

Causes of a bad defrost timer can be normal wear and tear over time, exposure to wet environments, or accidental damage.

Symptoms of a bad defrost timer include:

• Inefficient or inconsistent cooling inside the fridge
• Ice accumulation on refrigerator walls or coils
• Condensation or water pooling in compartments or drawers
• Loud buzzing or clicking noises emitting from the back of the fridge

This is a genuine OEM part that works for some models of GE, and Hotpoint models.
