Parts for Hot Point HPS15BTHPRBB: Freezer Section Parts

The Defrost Heater Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This assembly is responsible for preventing the buildup of ice and frost on the evaporator coils by providing controlled heat during the defrost cycle. It helps prevent ice accumulation that can hinder the refrigerator's ability to cool properly.

A bad defrost heater assembly can occur due to electrical issues, component failure, or damage to the heating element. If you notice symptoms such as excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer compartment, inconsistent cooling, or water leaking from the refrigerator, it may indicate a need to replace the defrost heater assembly.

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater assembly include:

• Excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer compartment
• Inconsistent cooling
• Water leaking from the refrigerator

Restore your refrigerator by replacing the faulty defrost heater assembly with this genuine OEM part.

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

This freezer wire shelf provides a sturdy, level surface for organizing food in the freezer compartment. Replacing a bent, rusted, or missing shelf restores storage capacity and keeps items level and easy to access.

• Adds an additional storage level in the freezer for better organization and visibility
• Supports frozen items evenly to help prevent tipping
• Replaces a shelf that is broken, bent, rusted, or missing
• Resolves issues where the shelf won't sit level or securely in its supports

• Empty the shelf area; remove the old shelf by lifting/tilting and pulling forward from the side supports
• Align the new shelf with the correct slots or ledges; insert the rear, then lower the front onto the supports
• Ensure the shelf is seated level before reloading food; avoid overloading
• Disconnect power if working near internal lighting or wiring

The Evaporator Fan Rear Bracket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It supports and secures the evaporator fan at the rear of the refrigerator, ensuring it operates correctly to circulate air throughout the appliance.

Causes of a bad evaporator fan rear bracket can include physical damage due to impact, wear and tear from prolonged use, or corrosion from exposure to moisture.  

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan rear bracket include:

• Unusual noises coming from the rear of the refrigerator
• Reduced cooling efficiency
• The evaporator fan becoming loose or detached
• Vibrations or rattling noises during operation

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

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is a crucial component responsible for circulating air and maintaining proper airflow within the refrigerator compartments.,This evaporator fan motor is designed to power the fan blades that draw air over the evaporator coils.

Symptoms of a faulty Evaporator Fan Motor include:

• Insufficient cooling or uneven temperature distribution within the refrigerator
• Excessive frost buildup or ice formation in the freezer compartment
• Loud or unusual noises coming from the fan area
• Complete failure of the fan to operate or turn on

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include normal wear and tear over time, bearing failure, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage from foreign objects or debris.

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

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 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 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 front bracket is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. Located inside the freezer compartment, this bracket securely mounts and supports the evaporator fan assembly.

Causes of a bad front bracket include breakage from repeated fan motion, cracking from temperature fluctuations over many years, or loosening of mounting points.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan front bracket include:

• Abnormal rattling or vibrational noises coming from inside the refrigerator
• Reduced airflow circulation leading to ineffective cooling
• Potential shifting or misalignment of other evaporator components

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

This factory screw secures brackets, panels, and internal components so assemblies stay tight and aligned. Replace a missing or damaged fastener to eliminate rattles, looseness, and misaligned parts. What it does:

• Fastens components, panels, hinges, or brackets to the appliance frame
