Parts for Ge GTE16DTHHRBB: Freezer Section Parts

The Actuator Air Foam is an OEM part for GE refrigerators responsible for redirecting the flow of air within the refrigerator's evaporator assembly, ensuring efficient cooling and temperature regulation.

A bad actuator air foam can be caused by normal wear and tear, exposure to moisture, or damage due to mishandling or impact. If you notice that your refrigerator is not cooling properly, or if there are temperature inconsistencies throughout the refrigerator compartment, it may indicate a problem with the actuator air foam.

Symptoms of a bad actuator air foam include:

• Inadequate cooling or freezing in certain areas of the refrigerator
• Temperature fluctuations within the refrigerator compartment
• Excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils
• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator's cooling system

Replace your faulty actuator air foam with this genuine OEM part to restore your refrigerator. 

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

This is the evaporator fan blade that mounts on the freezer fan motor. It circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and throughout the compartments to maintain even, reliable temperatures. What it does:

• Moves air across the evaporator to cool and circulate airflow between freezer and fresh food sections
• Helps prevent warm spots and temperature swings inside the refrigerator
• Common failure signs include rattling/scraping noises from the freezer area
• Needed if the fan isn't moving air, the blade is cracked/loose, or cooling is weak despite the compressor running

• 1 evaporator fan blade

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves around sharp sheet metal
• Remove shelves/drawers and the rear freezer panel to access the fan
• Pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft; transfer any clip/retainer if present
• Press the new blade fully onto the shaft; it spins freely without contacting the shroud before reassembly

The Fan Motor Grommet is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This small but essential component serves as a seal and insulator around the area where the fan motor shaft protrudes from the appliance body.

Causes of needing to replace the fan motor grommet can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture, or physical damage due to impact or improper installation.

Symptoms of a faulty or missing grommet include:

• Air leaks or drafts around the fan motor area
• Condensation buildup or frost formation near the motor shaft
• Increased noise or vibration from the fan motor assembly
• Reduced cooling efficiency due to air leakage

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

This defrost heater assembly melts frost from the evaporator during the automatic defrost cycle to keep airflow clear and temperatures stable. Replacing a failed heater helps restore consistent cooling and prevents ice buildup that blocks the freezer wall. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil to melt accumulated frost/ice during scheduled defrosts
• Keeps airflow paths clear to maintain proper temperatures
• Helps prevent excessive frost on the back panel or evaporator
