Parts for Ge PFE28RSHCSS: Freezer Section Parts

The Freezer Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for circulating air over the evaporator coils and throughout the freezer compartment, ensuring uniform temperature and preventing frost buildup.

Over time, the evaporator fan motor can become faulty due to normal wear and tear, electrical issues, or obstruction by debris. If the motor fails, it can lead to inefficient cooling and uneven temperature distribution.

Symptoms of a bad freezer evaporator fan motor include:

• The freezer not maintaining a consistent temperature
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The freezer being warmer than usual
• Unusual noises such as grinding or squealing from the freezer compartment

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

This clip secures the evaporator thermistor to the evaporator tubing so the control can read coil temperature accurately. Replacing a damaged or missing clip helps restore correct cooling and defrost performance by keeping the sensor firmly in place. What it does:

• Holds the evaporator thermistor tightly against the evaporator coil/tubing for accurate temperature sensing
• Supports proper cooling regulation and defrost cycle timing
• A loose or misplaced sensor may show temperature swings, long run times, or frost buildup on the evaporator
• Restores correct sensor placement after repairs or when the original clip is lost or broken

• 1 evaporator thermistor clip

• Unplug the refrigerator; interior metal edges and fins are sharp—wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove the evaporator cover to access the sensor; note the original sensor location and orientation
• Transfer the thermistor into the new clip and attach it at the same spot so the sensor makes firm contact; do not pinch wires
• Reinstall panels, keep wiring clear of the fan, and restore power

Conduction heater for the freezer compartment that melts frost from the evaporator during defrost cycles, helping prevent ice buildup and maintain consistent cooling. Replaces a failed freezer conduction heater to restore defrost function. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator area during defrost cycles to melt accumulated frost and ice.
• Helps prevent excessive ice buildup that can reduce cooling efficiency.
• Common symptoms of a failing heater: visible ice/frost on the evaporator or freezer interior and inconsistent freezer temperatures.
• Designed as a replacement conduction heater for compatible GE freezer evaporator assemblies.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock.
• Access typically requires removing the freezer evaporator cover or rear panel.
• Handle the element carefully to avoid damage.

The Freezer Defrost Heater is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for melting any frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils within the freezer. By periodically heating the coils, this component prevents excessive ice formation, ensuring the freezer maintains its efficiency and proper cooling performance.

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include electrical malfunctions, such as a blown fuse or wiring issues, and wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The freezer not maintaining the correct temperature
• Increased energy consumption due to the compressor working harder
• Water leakage inside the freezer during the defrost cycle

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

This trough drain collects and channels defrost water from the freezer evaporator to the drain tube, helping prevent pooled water and icing in the freezer compartment. Designed to match OEM fit and function for a direct replacement. What it does

• Captures defrost meltwater from the evaporator area and directs it to the drain system
• Helps prevent water pooling and ice buildup around the evaporator and freezer floor
• Restores normal defrost drainage when original trough is cracked, warped, or clogged
• Works with the freezer's drain heater and drain tube to keep water flowing during defrost cycles

• One trough drain

• Remove power to the appliance before accessing the evaporator/freezer cavity
• Replacement may require partial disassembly of interior liners, shelves or evaporator cover; follow OEM service instructions
• Inspect and clear the drain tube and drain heater when replacing the trough to ensure full system function

This evaporator cover houses and protects the freezer evaporator coil while directing airflow for even cooling and helping limit frost buildup. It restores proper airflow routing behind the freezer liner for consistent temperature control. What it does:

• Protects the evaporator coil from contact and debris
• Guides cold air from the evaporator into the freezer compartment
• Helps reduce localized frost accumulation on the coil and liner
• Can address symptoms like poor/freezer cooling, uneven temperatures, or increased frost/icing

• One evaporator cover (housing) as shown

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair
• Remove interior panels and shelves per your model's service instructions to access the evaporator area
• Handle carefully to avoid damaging the cover tabs, mounting points, or nearby wiring/insulation
• After installation, reassemble panels and verify proper fan operation and normal cooling
