Removed old part (careful because you have to bend the compressor thing, was afraid I would break the copper tubing). Old part was rusted with holes in the pan. Replaced part and all seems fine now. Poor design on GE's part. The part should be make out of plastic. My frig is only less than 5 years old. Also, I sprayed the new part with galvanized paint as suggested by another reviewer. Hopefully this makes it last longer than 5 years.
