This complete evaporator assembly circulates refrigerant and removes heat from the freezer compartment to keep your refrigerator cold and functioning reliably. Designed as a full replacement to restore proper cooling performance. What it does:

• Evaporates refrigerant and transfers heat away from the freezer evaporator section
• Helps maintain proper freezer temperature when working correctly
• Common symptom: frost or ice buildup on the evaporator or inside the freezer
• Common symptom: warm or inconsistent temperatures in the freezer or refrigerator
• Common symptom: extended run times or the compressor running more than normal

• One complete evaporator assembly as shown

• High-level replacement; may require accessing the freezer compartment and removing interior panels
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety guidelines before starting work
• Verify seals and gaskets are intact during reassembly to prevent air/moisture entry

Evaporator fan motor assembly circulates cold air through the freezer compartment to maintain even temperatures and proper frost control; replaces a failed or noisy freezer fan to restore airflow and cooling performance. What it does:

• Moves cold air across the evaporator and through the freezer to help the appliance reach and hold set temperatures.
• Restores airflow when a fan motor seizes, hums, or stops running.
• Helps reduce frost build-up and temperature variation caused by poor circulation.
• Can eliminate abnormal rattling or grinding noises originating from the freezer fan area.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service.
• Remove interior panels and shelving as needed to access the evaporator fan; allow any accumulated frost/ice to thaw before removal.
• Handle the fan blades carefully to avoid bending; wiring connections should match the original before reassembly.
• Check the defrost system and door seals as part of diagnosis if the fan failed due to excessive ice.

The Evaporator Case with Heater is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This part is responsible for covering and protecting the evaporator coils in the rear of the freezer compartment. 

A bad freezer evaporator case can occur due to regular wear and tear or accidental damage. If you notice symptoms such as excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer, inconsistent cooling, or a noisy refrigerator, it may indicate a need to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad freezer evaporator case include:

• Excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer
• Inconsistent cooling or temperature fluctuations
• Noisy operation due to restricted airflow

Restore your refrigerator by replacing the faulty freezer evaporator case with this genuine OEM part.

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

This freezer thermistor is the temperature sensor located in the freezer compartment. It sends temperature feedback to the control so the compressor, fan, and defrost cycle operate correctly, helping maintain consistent freezing performance and stable food storage.

• Monitors actual freezer temperature and changes resistance to signal the control board
• Helps regulate compressor and evaporator fan operation to achieve the set temperature
• Provides input for defrost timing to limit frost buildup and avoid warm swings
• Common failure symptoms: freezer too warm or too cold, temperature fluctuations, long run times, or excessive frost

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; work with dry hands and proper lighting
• Access the freezer sensor location; note original orientation and wire routing
• Transfer any mounting clip/holder to the new sensor and seat the connector fully; route wires exactly as original to avoid damage
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

The Lamp Socket is an OEM component specifically designed for GE refrigerator interiors. It provides the connection point for interior lighting.

The lamp socket mounts near the top of the interior and includes contacts that receive and hold the installed light bulb firmly in position. Proper socket operation enables convenient and dependable interior illumination. 

Causes of a bad socket can include wear from repeated bulb replacements, damaged contacts from moisture exposure over time, or loose electrical connections.

Symptoms include:

• Intermittent or no interior light function  
• Bulbs that will not screw in securely or pop out easily
• Exposed or frayed electrical wire connections
• Visible cracks or breaks in the socket assembly

This genuine OEM GE replacement socket ensures clear vision inside refrigerator shelves for years. Compatible with additional brands including Hotpoint, RCA, or Kenmore refrigerator models.

Original Whirlpool light bulb, 40 watt.

Symptoms of needing to replace the light bulb include:

• Dimming or flickering light
• Complete lack of illumination inside the appliance
• Visible signs of damage or burnout on the bulb itself

Causes of a faulty light bulb can include normal burnout over time, electrical issues, or physical damage due to impact or vibrations.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, Frigidaire, GE, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore appliances.

This defrost heater for the freezer evaporator melts frost and ice buildup so the cooling system can run efficiently. It restores normal defrost cycles and helps prevent ice-clogged evaporators that reduce cooling performance. What it does:

• Warms the evaporator coil during defrost cycles to remove accumulated frost and ice
• Helps restore proper airflow and temperature control in the freezer compartment
• Commonly replaced when evaporator icing prevents the freezer from cooling properly
• Works with the defrost control and thermostat to complete timed defrost cycles

• One defrost heater assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access typically requires removing evaporator cover panels inside the freezer; handle the evaporator fins and heater carefully to avoid damage
• Verify continuity of the heater with a multimeter before and after installation; replace related defrost components if they also test faulty
