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.

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.

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.

The Evaporator Fan Blade is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This fan blade is crucial for circulating air over the evaporator coils, which helps to maintain an even temperature throughout the refrigerator and ensures efficient cooling.

Common causes of a bad fan blade include regular wear and tear, damage from ice buildup or debris, and mechanical issues that cause the blade to crack or warp. A compromised fan blade can lead to poor air circulation, resulting in uneven cooling and potential frost buildup.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan blade include:

• Unusual noises coming from the freezer compartment
• Inconsistent temperatures within the refrigerator or freezer
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Reduced cooling efficiency

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

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 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.

The Fan Motor Grommet is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is a small but essential component that helps to seal and insulate the area around the fan motor, preventing air leaks and maintaining optimal cooling efficiency.

Causes of a damaged or worn-out fan motor grommet can include prolonged use, exposure to extreme temperatures, or physical damage from improper handling or installation.

Symptoms of a bad fan motor grommet include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Increased energy consumption
• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• Unusual noises coming from the fan area

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

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators, designed to accurately monitor and relay the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments to the electronic control board. By detecting the slightest changes in internal temperature, the sensor allows the control board to make real-time adjustments to the cooling system, activating the compressor and fans as needed to maintain optimal conditions for food preservation.

Over time, the temperature sensor can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or general wear and tear. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to improper temperature regulation, affecting the efficiency of the refrigerator and the freshness of stored food.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Sensor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperature 
• The appliance running continuously or more frequently than normal
• Inaccurate temperature readings displayed  

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