Parts for Ge TCX20ZKB: 06 - Compressor Compartment Parts

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 fan blade mounts on the fan motor and circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and throughout the compartments. Replacing a cracked, warped, or loose blade restores proper airflow and stable temperatures.

• Moves air across the evaporator to distribute cooled air evenly
• Helps maintain consistent refrigerator and freezer temperatures
• Common symptoms include weak or no airflow, warm spots, frost buildup on the evaporator cover, and rattling/scraping noises
• Replace if the blade is damaged or spins loosely on the motor shaft

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove shelves/bins and the rear evaporator cover to access the fan
• Note blade orientation and seating depth; pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft
• Press the new blade on until fully seated; verify free spin and proper clearance before reassembly
