Parts for Ge GTZ18GCEDRSS: Doors Parts

The Door Shelf Bar is an OEM part for GE refrigerators, designed to securely hold items within the door shelves. This bar is responsible for maximizing storage space and keeping items in place, preventing them from falling out when the door is opened or closed. Made from durable materials, the door shelf bar is designed to withstand the regular opening and closing of the refrigerator, as well as the weight of items typically stored in door shelves, such as condiments, bottles, and jars.

This shelf bar measures 23” wide by 2.5” high and 7” deep.  

Symptoms of a failing Door Shelf Bar include:

• The bar becoming loose or detached from the door
• Cracks or breaks in the bar 
• Difficulty fitting the bar back into its slots 

Causes of a bad Door Shelf Bar can range from normal wear and tear, which weakens the bar over time, to accidental damage, such as placing too much weight on the bar or mishandling. Additionally, exposure to extreme temperatures or cleaning chemicals can degrade the material of the bar, leading to brittleness.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Freezer Door Gasket is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. As the main door gasket, it provides an airtight seal between the refrigerator door and body. This prevents cool air from leaking out while keeping external warmth and odors from seeping in. This gasket is dark gray or black in color.

Causes can be normal wear and tear over the lifespan of continuous use, accidental tears or punctures from sharp objects, or premature breakdown if exposed to excessive moisture.

Symptoms of a bad gasket door include:

• Cool air drafts felt around the perimeter when the door is closed
• Frost or condensation building up inside the refrigerator compartment
• Higher energy bills indicating inefficient insulation.

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

The Refrigerator Door Gasket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This gasket is designed to form a tight seal around the refrigerator door, preventing warm air from entering and cold air from escaping, thus maintaining the appliance's internal temperature.

Causes of a bad gasket can include regular wear and tear, exposure to varying temperatures, or damage from cleaning agents. A compromised gasket can lead to energy inefficiency and temperature fluctuations inside the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad refrigerator door gasket include:

• Visible cracks, tears, or deformities in the gasket
• The door not sealing properly, causing cool air to escape
• Increased frost or ice buildup inside the refrigerator
• Higher than usual energy bills due to the refrigerator working harder to maintain temperature

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

The Dairy Door is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This door is designed to fit the dairy compartment, usually located on the refrigerator door, providing a dedicated storage space for butter, cheese, and other dairy products. The dairy door helps to keep these items separate from the main compartment, often slightly warmer to prevent butter from hardening too much, while still keeping cheese and other dairy products fresh.

Causes of damage to the dairy door can range from normal wear and tear to accidental impacts from loading groceries or containers pressing against it when the refrigerator door is closed.  

Symptoms of a bad Dairy Door include:

• Cracks or breaks in the door 
• Difficulty closing the door or it not staying closed 
• Discoloration or damage 

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

Symptoms that may indicate the need to replace the freezer door shelf bar include:

• Shelves becoming loose or falling out of the freezer door
• The bar itself becoming cracked, bent, or otherwise damaged

Causes of a faulty freezer door shelf bar can include physical impact or mishandling, excessive weight or force applied to the shelves, or general wear and tear over extended use.

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