This vinyl sleeve fits over a rod, tube, or wire in the refrigerator to protect and cushion contact points. It reduces wear and vibration and helps keep components aligned for smooth, reliable operation.

• Provides a protective barrier at contact points to prevent abrasion or marring
• Helps maintain spacing and alignment for a snug, proper fit
• Cushions to damp vibration and reduce rattles or squeaks
• Replace if the sleeve is missing, cracked, hardened, or if components feel loose or make noise

• Disconnect power; turn off the water supply if working near water lines
• Note the sleeve's original location and orientation; take a photo for reference
• Remove the old sleeve and any debris; slide the new sleeve into the same position
• Check clearance and resecure related parts before restoring power

Defrost heater that melts frost from the evaporator coil so the refrigerator can maintain efficient cooling. Replacing a failed heater restores normal defrost cycles and helps prevent ice buildup that blocks airflow. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove frost and ice buildup.
• Restores proper airflow and cooling when ice accumulation was restricting the evaporator.
• Common symptoms of a failing heater: visible frost or ice on the evaporator, freezer running warm, or extended run times.
• Works with the appliance's defrost thermostat and control to complete the defrost cycle.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the heating element carefully; avoid bending or damaging the coil or terminals.
• Verify the part number matches your appliance before installation.
• If other defrost components (thermostat, control board, sensors) show signs of failure, inspect and replace them as needed.

This mounting bracket secures the defrost heater assembly in the freezer evaporator area, keeping the heater properly positioned so the defrost system can remove frost buildup and maintain efficient cooling. What it does:

• Holds the defrost heater in place so the heater makes correct contact with the evaporator
• Prevents the heater from shifting, rattling, or touching sensitive components
• Helps ensure consistent defrost cycles and reduces excessive frost buildup

• Disconnect power before accessing the evaporator compartment or performing repairs
• Access may require removing the freezer evaporator cover/panels; keep track of screws and clips
• Inspect surrounding wiring and the heater assembly while replacing the bracket

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.
