Note: If replacing the Culligan metal canister design filter for the first time, a special adapter, part number AP2615702 is needed, which is not included with this part. The compatible bypass cap is part number AP6891551.

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

The Compression Ring is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to secure and seal connections within the refrigerator’s water and ice dispensing system, ensuring a leak-free operation. This small yet vital component helps maintain the integrity of the connections, preventing water leaks and ensuring the proper flow of water through the dispenser and ice maker.

Over time, the compression ring can wear out or become damaged due to regular use and the natural aging of materials. If the compression ring is compromised, it can lead to water leaks or poor water flow, which can affect the overall performance of the refrigerator’s water and ice dispensing functions.

Symptoms of a bad compression ring include:

• Water leaks around the dispenser or ice maker
• Reduced water flow or no water flow at all
• Drips or puddles forming inside the refrigerator

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

This foam block fits around the refrigerator evaporator to insulate and stabilize the evaporator assembly, helping reduce vibration and limit unwanted air flow for more consistent cooling performance. What it does

• Provides cushioning and vibration dampening for the evaporator assembly.
• Helps seal gaps around the evaporator to support proper airflow and temperature control.
• Reduces rattle and noise caused by contact between the evaporator and surrounding cabinet parts.
• Supports correct evaporator placement to prevent ice buildup from air leaks.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the foam gently to avoid tearing; position it as shown in the evaporator area or OEM diagram.
• Use only OEM-recommended clips or fasteners; do not rely on solvents or non-approved adhesives unless specified by the manufacturer.

The Temperature Sensor Grille is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This grille covers and protects the temperature sensor, ensuring it accurately measures the internal temperature of the refrigerator.  

Causes of a bad grille can include physical damage from impacts, regular wear and tear, or the buildup of dust and debris that can obstruct airflow.  

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor grille include:

• Inaccurate temperature readings
• The refrigerator running continuously or not cooling properly
• Visible damage or obstruction on the grille
• The sensor becoming loose or dislodged

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

The Lid Bumper is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to provide cushioning and protection for the refrigerator lid, preventing damage and ensuring smooth, quiet closing. 

Causes of a bad Lid Bumper can include deterioration over time due to frequent use, exposure to temperature variations, or damage from accidental impacts. A worn or damaged bumper may no longer provide adequate cushioning, leading to potential damage to the lid or the refrigerator itself.

Symptoms of a bad Lid Bumper include:

• The refrigerator lid closing too hard
• Unusual noises when closing the lid
• Visible wear or cracks on the bumper

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

An evaporator fan blade mounts on the evaporator fan motor to move cold air across the coils and throughout the refrigerator compartments. Replacing a cracked, warped, or loose blade restores proper airflow, temperature balance, and quiet operation.

• Circulates air across the evaporator and into the fresh food and freezer sections to maintain even temperatures
• Helps reduce frost/ice buildup on the evaporator cover by improving airflow after defrost
• Common symptoms of a damaged blade: rattling or scraping noises behind an interior panel, weak or no airflow at vents, warming in the fresh food section, or uneven cooling
• A cracked or loose blade may spin but move little air even when the motor runs

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before service
• Access the evaporator fan behind the interior rear panel; remove the cover/shroud as required (varies by model)
• Note blade orientation; seat the new blade fully on the motor shaft and verify clearance inside the shroud
• Reassemble panels, restore power, and confirm the fan spins freely without rubbing

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It circulates air over the evaporator coils, ensuring consistent cooling throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The motor operates 9.75 volts DC. The motor has a 1/8" shaft and a 12" long, 4-wire harness.

You should replace the evaporator fan motor if it becomes faulty due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or physical damage. Over time, the motor bearings can wear out, or the motor itself can fail due to continuous operation.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the freezer area
• Frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator running continuously without reaching the set temperature

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

This evaporator fan motor dust cap is an authentic OEM replacement part found on refrigerator and freezer fan motors. This dust cap prevents the fan motor bearing and housing from being damaged by dirt and debris. If the dust cap is cracked or broken, the fan may make loud squealing noises. If the dust cap is not removed and replaced, the fan could stop working and ultimately cause the refrigerator's temperature to be affected. To start, disconnect the power and water to the refrigerator. Remove food from the freezer so that the back panel of the freezer can be accessed to reach the fan. Remove the ice maker and set it outside the freezer. Disconnect the fan and take it out of the freezer to expose the fan's shaft and the dust cover. Pry the dust cover off and install the new one. Replace the fan and cover. Reconnect the wires and reinstall the icemaker. Put the food back in the freezer. Reconnect the power and water.The evaporator fan motor dust cap is a white plastic part that is sold individually. This dust cover is made for use in refrigerators manufactured by General Electric, Hotpoint, and Kenmore.
