This drain plug seals the tub drain opening to prevent water from leaking or pooling beneath the appliance. Replacing a damaged plug helps keep the tub watertight during fill and drain cycles. What it does:

• Seals the tub drain opening to stop leaks and water under the appliance.
• Commonly replaced when you see water pooling beneath the unit or a cracked/missing plug.
• Restores a watertight seal after tub or pump service.
• Small, simple part — inspect for cracks, splits, or hardening that cause leaks.

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing the appliance.
• Drain any remaining water from the tub or pump to avoid spills when replacing the plug.
• Remove the old plug and install the new plug, ensuring it is fully seated and sealed; check for leaks after restoring power/water.

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:

• Seals the drain opening to help prevent water leaks from the tub or drain housing
• 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

The Thermostat is an OEM part for stand-alone GE freezers. Located inside the freezer compartment, the thermostat monitors and controls interior temperatures to maintain a constant freezing environment for food storage. As the primary control component, it plays a critical role in food preservation.

Causes of a bad thermostat include worn or damaged sensor components from prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures. Failed electronic modules or loose wiring connections can also lead to thermostat replacement needs.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• Erratic or fluctuating freezer temperatures 
• Excessive ice or frost buildup on walls and shelves
• Frozen or warm foods inside the freezer  
• The unit fails to switch between cooling cycles properly

This genuine OEM GE thermostat restores precise and consistent temperature regulation for dependable food storage. It is also compatible with stand-alone freezer models manufactured by Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.
 

This replacement access cover protects internal components and seals a service opening, keeping wiring and parts safe while preserving airflow. It restores a finished appearance and prevents accidental contact with internal parts. What it does:

• Covers a service opening or panel to protect wiring, valves, and control components
• Helps prevent dust, moisture, and pests from entering the appliance interior
• Reduces risk of accidental contact with live or moving parts behind the opening
• Restores the appliance's finished appearance after service or repair

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or shut off breaker) before beginning work
• Remove any screws or clips securing the old cover; retain hardware if reusing
• Align cover over the opening and fasten securely with the original screws or clips

The Drier is an OEM component specifically designed for GE combination refrigerator-freezers. Absorbing moisture, its treated silica particles buffer humidity within refrigerant lines. Proper drying sustains energy-efficient performance while preventing corrosion.

Causes of a faulty drier commonly relate to saturation reducing capacity. As desiccant degrades, water passes into closed system compressors requiring change. 

Symptoms of a bad drier involve:

• Frost and ice buildup impairing cooling  
• Puddling around evaporator evidencing leaks
• Higher operating costs from impaired efficiency

Causes of a bad drier involve typical saturation shortening drying cycles. Cracks release desiccant particles risking blockages necessitating timely replacement.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Frigidaire combination units. Replace to retain steady humidity management protecting components and maximizing freshness years of operation.
 

This compressor harness routes electrical power and signal connections to the refrigerator compressor, restoring reliable electrical connection for proper compressor operation and helping address compressor-related electrical faults. What it does:

• Provides the factory-style electrical connection between the compressor and the appliance wiring
• Carries start/run signals and power to the compressor motor
• Replaces damaged, corroded, or frayed compressor wiring to help stop intermittent operation, clicking, or failure to start
• Helps prevent shorting or arcing caused by compromised harness insulation or terminals

• One compressor harness as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Match connector types and terminal positions before removing the old harness
• Replace only with the harness that fits the compressor and route wires clear of sharp edges or heat sources
• If terminals are corroded or the compressor shows other faults, inspect related components as needed

The R600 Process Valve with Red Cap is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It regulates the flow of refrigerant within the cooling system, ensuring proper cooling and temperature control.

A bad process valve can occur due to wear and tear, refrigerant leaks, or mechanical failure. If you notice symptoms such as inadequate cooling, excessive frost buildup, or unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, it may indicate a faulty or malfunctioning process valve.

Symptoms of a bad process valve include:

• Inadequate cooling or inconsistent temperature control
• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator

Restore your refrigerator by replacing the faulty process valve with this genuine OEM part.

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