Parts for Kenmore 363.9530583 (3639530583, 363 9530583): Freezer Section Parts

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the defrost system by heating the evaporator coil to melt any frost buildup. This ensures that the refrigerator operates efficiently by preventing ice accumulation that can obstruct airflow and cooling.

Over time, defrost heaters can fail due to factors such as electrical issues, prolonged use, or thermal stress. When the defrost heater malfunctions, frost can accumulate excessively on the evaporator coils, leading to cooling problems.

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater include:

• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Inadequate cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments
• The refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator due to melting frost

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

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It regulates the temperature of the defrost cycle by sensing the temperature of the evaporator coils and signaling the defrost heater to turn on or off. This helps prevent ice buildup on the coils, ensuring efficient cooling and proper refrigerator operation.

You should replace this defrost thermostat if it fails to regulate the defrost cycle correctly. Common causes of a bad thermostat include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or damage from temperature fluctuations.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• Refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• Defrost cycle not activating
• Water leaking inside the refrigerator

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

The Lower Door Hinge Kit is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This kit is essential for the proper functioning and alignment of the refrigerator door, providing the necessary support and pivot point for smooth opening and closing. 

Symptoms of a failing Lower Door Hinge include:

• The refrigerator door sagging or failing to close properly
• Squeaking or grinding noises when the door is opened or closed
• Resistance or difficulty when moving the door
• Visible wear or damage to the hinge or surrounding area

Causes of a bad lower door hinge can include mechanical stress from frequent use, improper alignment or installation that increases wear, or corrosion from moisture exposure, which can weaken the metal components.

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

This rear wheel roller replaces a worn or damaged drawer/glide wheel to restore smooth movement and reduce sticking or noise. Durable molded construction fits the rear guide position to help support and steady the sliding drawer or bin. What it does

• One rear wheel (roller)

• Disconnect power and remove the drawer/bin per your owner's manual before replacing the wheel
• Typically installs by snapping or sliding into the rear glide bracket; basic hand tools may be needed
• Inspect mating tracks or brackets for damage and clean debris before installing the new wheel

The Light Socket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for holding the refrigerator's light bulb and ensuring it receives power to illuminate the interior when the door is opened.

You should replace the light socket if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad light socket can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues such as short circuits or power surges, and corrosion from moisture exposure.

Symptoms of a bad light socket include:

• The refrigerator light not turning on when the door is opened
• Flickering or intermittent light operation
• Visible damage or corrosion on the socket
• The light bulb not fitting securely or falling out

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

The Evaporator Fan Motor Kit is an OEM part compatible with GE refrigerators. It is a critical component responsible for circulating air and maintaining proper airflow within the refrigerator's evaporator system, ensuring efficient cooling and temperature regulation. It features a shaft that measures 3/8 of an inch and two right-side terminals. Notably, the motor no longer comes with harness wires, which must be obtained separately for installation.

Symptoms of a faulty evaporator fan motor include:

• Inconsistent or inadequate cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments
• Warm spots or temperature fluctuations within the refrigerator
• Excessive frost buildup or ice accumulation in the freezer

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues or short circuits, or physical damage from foreign objects or improper maintenance.

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

Please note: You may also need to order an adapter. For the adapter to convert the male connector from rectangular to oval use part number WR29X10049. Water valve in kit is part# WR57X10033.
