Parts for Ge DFE29JSDASS: 08 - Fresh Food Section Parts

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part is a safety device attached to the evaporator coil or nearby, and it functions by monitoring the temperature of the refrigerator's coils during the defrost cycle. When the coils reach a specific temperature, the defrost thermostat shuts off the defrost heater to prevent the refrigerator from overheating. 

Causes of damage to the Defrost Thermostat can include wear and tear over time, exposure to extreme temperatures that degrade its responsiveness, or electrical issues that cause it to fail. 

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Thermostat include:

• The refrigerator or freezer compartment is too warm, indicating that the defrost system is not working correctly
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils that does not go away 
• The refrigerator cycling on and off more frequently or running longer than it should 

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

This holder element assembly secures the appliance's heating element in the correct position so the element stays stable for consistent operation and safe performance. It's a direct-fit replacement for worn or damaged holders. What it does:

• Secures and supports the heating element inside the appliance to maintain proper alignment
• Prevents element sagging or contact with other components that can cause noise or arcing
• Helps reduce vibration and movement that can lead to intermittent heating
• Common symptom: visible holder damage, loose or shifted element, unusual noise during operation

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair
• Allow appliance and element to fully cool before handling
• Handle the element and holder carefully to avoid bending or damaging the element

The Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for circulating air over the evaporator coils, which are responsible for cooling the refrigerator's interior.

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include bearing failure, motor burnout due to overheating, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to temperature fluctuations, frost buildup, and ultimately, reduced cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• Warm temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer compartments
• Frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils or inside the compartments
• Loud or unusual noises coming from the fan motor
• The fan not running or running intermittently

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

The Refrigerator Evaporator with Heater is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component cools the air within the freezer and fresh food compartments through vaporization and circulation. It also contains an internal heater to prevent condensation and frost formation.

Causes of a bad evaporator can include normal wear over time, damage from leaks, or issues with the heater component. 

Symptoms of a bad evaporator include:

• Inadequate or inconsistent cooling within compartments  
• Frost or condensation buildup that requires frequent defrosting
• High energy usage but inability to maintain proper temperatures
• Foreign or musty odors emanating from within the refrigerator

Replace this evaporator to restore optimal cooling performance, efficiency, and freshness preservation in your refrigerator. This GE OEM part is also compatible with later Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore refrigerator models.
 

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the defrost cycle, preventing the buildup of frost or ice on the refrigerator's evaporator coils.

Symptoms of a faulty Defrost Heater include:

• Excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils
• Inefficient cooling performance or temperature fluctuations
• Increased energy consumption due to the refrigerator working harder to cool
• Error codes or indicators related to the defrost system

Causes of a defrost heater failure can include electrical malfunctions, physical damage, or simply wear and tear over time.

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