Parts for Ge FCM7DSBWH: 01 - Freezer Parts

This interior drain plug seals and directs defrost and condensation water into the refrigerator drain channel to help prevent leaks and pooling inside the cabinet. Replacement restores proper drainage and reduces standing water near drawers. What it does:

• Seals the refrigerator drain opening so defrost/condensation water flows into the drain channel
• Helps prevent water from pooling under crispers or on shelf surfaces
• Reduces risk of fouling odors by keeping drain flow unobstructed
• Works with the drain trough and drain tube to route moisture to the evaporator pan

• One interior drain plug

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing interior panels
• Remove shelves/drawers and the evaporator or back inner panel as required for access
• Clean the drain channel and remove any debris or ice before installing the new plug
• Inspect surrounding gaskets and seating surface; press the plug firmly into place without forcing

This exterior drain plug seals the washer's drain opening to prevent leaks and contain water in the tub during operation. It provides a simple replacement to restore a watertight seal at the appliance drain area. What it does:

• Helps maintain proper drainage by keeping debris out of the drain path
• Can stop visible water weeping or puddling near the base of the washer
• Replaces a cracked, worn or missing exterior drain plug to restore normal operation

• One exterior drain plug

• Disconnect power to the appliance and turn off water supply before starting any work
• Remove the appropriate access panel or lower kick plate to reach the drain opening
• Press or thread the plug into the drain opening as designed; snug by hand and avoid over-tightening
• Inspect the surrounding seal area and replace any damaged gaskets or housings if present; test for leaks after reinstalling panels and restoring power/water

A replacement control knob for refrigerator temperature dials that restores a solid grip and clear setting selection. Replaces a worn or broken knob so you can adjust the fridge thermostat easily and safely. What it does:

• Fits over the temperature control shaft to provide a secure turning surface
• Lets you select and change refrigerator temperature settings accurately
• Replaces cracked, loose, or missing knobs that are hard to grip or don't turn
• Simple, direct replacement—no calibration of the thermostat required

• One thermostat control knob

• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft and push the replacement on until it seats firmly
• Ensure the fridge is off or controls are in a neutral position to avoid sudden compressor start
• Inspect the control shaft for damage before installing; do not force a misaligned knob

This clear interior light cover protects the refrigerator lamp while letting bright light illuminate shelves and food. It keeps the bulb shielded and helps maintain even lighting so you can see contents clearly. What it does:

• Covers and protects the interior lamp from spills and direct contact
• Diffuses light for more even illumination inside the compartment
• Helps prevent damage to the bulb from impacts or debris
• Commonly replaces cracked, cloudy, or missing light lenses

• One replacement light cover

• Disconnect power or unplug appliance before replacing the lens
• Remove old cover carefully and snap or screw new cover into place
• Use only the exact replacement to ensure proper fit and safe clearance from the bulb
• If the bulb or socket is damaged, replace those components as well; avoid handling bulbs with bare hands while hot

This 15 uF capacitor kit supports an AC motor by providing the phase shift needed to start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can help resolve hard-start or no-start issues and restore consistent performance. What it does

• Stores and releases energy to help a single-phase AC motor start and maintain proper torque
• Common symptoms include humming or buzzing without starting, repeated clicking, intermittent starting, or warmer-than-normal temperatures
• Visual clues of failure may include a swollen or cracked housing
• Matched 15 uF rating supports correct motor operation per the original design

• One 15 uF capacitor

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify the capacitor is fully discharged before handling
• Note wire positions; move one lead at a time to the new capacitor
• Match the microfarad (uF) rating to the original part for proper performance
• Secure the capacitor using the existing bracket/strap and route wires away from heat and moving parts

This flat hardware washer helps distribute load and protect surfaces where fasteners clamp appliance components. It's a small but important replacement part that restores proper fastener seating and reduces wear on mating parts. What it does

• Provides an even bearing surface under a nut or bolt to prevent damage and improve clamp force distribution.
• Helps maintain secure fastener connections to reduce vibration-related loosening or noise.
• Protects mating surfaces from abrasion and wear where metal fasteners contact parts.
• Used wherever a thin, flat spacer is required to ensure proper alignment of assembled components.

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before accessing internal components.
• Replace like-for-like: use the same size and thickness washer to maintain correct fit and clearances.
• Keep fasteners and mating surfaces clean; install the washer flat against the surface and tighten hardware securely.
• If any surrounding fasteners or parts are damaged, replace them as well to ensure a reliable repair.

This spring washer is a small retaining fastener that helps keep assemblies tight and under tension, preventing components from loosening during normal appliance operation. What it does:

• Helps maintain tension on shafts, bolts or studs to reduce loosening from vibration
• Secures mating parts so assemblies stay aligned and function smoothly
• Can reduce rattling or intermittent contact caused by loose fittings
• Used where a split, curved washer is needed to provide spring force

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Use appropriate pliers or a socket set to remove and reinstall surrounding fasteners
• Verify the washer seats correctly and does not interfere with moving parts
• Do not stretch, file, or otherwise alter the washer; replace with the exact part for proper fit

This top cover hinge secures the upper access cover on compatible refrigerators, keeping the cover aligned and stable for reliable operation and easy access during maintenance. It restores proper fit and prevents rattling or loose covers. What it does:

• Supports and fastens the refrigerator's top access cover to the cabinet
• Keeps the cover properly aligned to prevent gaps and vibration noise
• Restores secure cover movement after wear or damage to the original hinge
• Helps maintain a sealed fit so panels sit flush and access remains safe

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Installation typically requires basic hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver); retain original fasteners unless replacements are supplied
• Align the cover on the hinge before tightening screws; avoid over-torquing hardware

Door lock secures the appliance door during use, allowing cycles to start and run safely. Replace a broken or failing lock to restore proper closure and prevent interruption of operation. What it does:

• Latches and holds the door closed so the appliance can start and complete cycles.
• Triggers the control to allow operation only when the door is fully closed.
• Common symptom: appliance won't start or stops mid-cycle because the door won't latch.
• May be needed if the door feels loose, won't stay closed, or you hear clicking when trying to start.

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Handle parts carefully; avoid forcing or bending mounting tabs during installation.
• Verify proper alignment and engagement of the latch before restoring power.

A small rubber grommet that cushions and seals wiring or components where they pass through a panel or opening, helping protect against chafing and reducing vibration for quieter, safer operation. What it does:

• Cushions wiring or tubing where it passes through metal or plastic openings
• Prevents chafing and wear on insulation or hoses
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling at the entry point
• Maintains a more secure, stable routing for components

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to reduce risk of shock.
• Remove the panel or trim exposing the opening, then press the grommet into the hole until fully seated.
• Inspect surrounding wiring, hoses, and mounting surfaces for damage and replace if needed.
