Parts for Ge AZ38H09DACM2: 03 - Control Parts

This run capacitor helps the appliance motor keep steady torque during operation for reliable performance and smoother starts. It replaces a worn or failed capacitor to restore normal motor function and reduce abnormal noise or cycling. What it does:

• Provides continuous phase shift and stored energy to help the motor run efficiently
• Common symptom: motor hums but won't start or has weak starting torque
• Common symptom: motor runs intermittently, stalls, or cycles on and off
• Common symptom: unusually noisy motor operation or reduced performance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the capacitor
• Capacitors can hold charge—discharge safely
• Match terminal types and mounting style to the original part for proper fit

The Control Knob Assembly is an OEM part for GE air conditioners. This assembly includes the knobs that allow you to adjust settings such as temperature, fan speed, and mode. It is essential for the user interface of the air conditioner, providing an easy way to control and customize the cooling experience.

Causes of a bad control knob assembly can include wear and tear from frequent use, accidental damage, or exposure to high temperatures and UV light, which can cause the plastic to become brittle and crack.

Symptoms of a bad control knob assembly include:

• Knobs that are loose or difficult to turn
• Knobs that are cracked or broken
• Inability to change settings accurately
• Missing knobs

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

This Main PWB-K is the refrigerator's primary electronic control board that manages temperature, defrost, and user-interface functions so your appliance responds correctly to settings and cycles. Replacing a failed board restores normal control operation. What it does

• Receives input from the user interface and sensors to control compressor, fans, and defrost cycles
• Manages timing and relay signals for cooling and defrost sequences
• Can stop appliance response when the board fails—symptoms include blank or unresponsive controls, erratic cooling, or constant defrost/recirculation activity
• Works with the appliance's harness and connectors to pass commands to subsystems

• One Main PWB-K electronic control board

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting; take photos of wiring for reassembly
• Handle the board carefully; avoid static discharge and damage to connectors
• Verify replacement PN and connector fit before installation; do not force connectors
