Note: If replacing the Culligan metal canister design filter for the first time, a special adapter, part number AP2615702 is needed, which is not included with this part. The compatible bypass cap is part number AP6891551.

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

This brushless DC evaporator fan motor circulates cold air across the evaporator coil to support consistent temperature inside the refrigerator. Designed for direct replacement to restore proper airflow and reduce abnormal noise or uneven cooling. What it does:

• Spins the evaporator fan blade to move cold air through the freezer and fresh-food compartments.
• Helps prevent frost buildup on the evaporator by maintaining steady airflow.
• Symptoms of a failing unit can include reduced cooling, warm spots, excessive frost, or loud/noisy fan operation.
• Uses a brushless DC design for improved efficiency and longer service life compared with brushed motors.

• One evaporator fan motor (BLDC) assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing interior panels and the evaporator cover; keep track of fasteners and wire connector orientation.
• Handle the evaporator coil and surrounding insulation carefully to avoid damage.

This temperature sensor monitors internal refrigerator temperatures and relays them to the control, helping the unit maintain consistent cooling. Replacing a failed sensor restores accurate temperature regulation and more reliable operation. What it does:

• Measures compartment or evaporator temperature and sends a resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control modulate compressor and fan run times for proper cooling
• Typical failure signs: sections too warm or too cold, erratic temperatures, or running longer than normal
• Causes inaccurate temperature readings compared to setpoints

• 1 temperature sensor assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the sensor in the affected section; release any cover/clip and unplug the connector
• Route the new sensor's wiring like the original and ensure it's fully seated in its holder or clip
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This is a self-tapping screw used to secure appliance panels and small components. It provides a reliable hold in sheet metal and plastic mounting points to restore proper fit and prevent rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Fastens trim, brackets, and light-duty panels where a tapped hole is needed
• Creates its own threads in thin metal or plastic mounting points
• Helps stop vibration-related noise by securing loose panels
• Commonly used during repairs of control panels, inner liners, and external trim

• One tapping screw as shown

• Use the correctly sized screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Drive straight and stop when snug; over-tightening can strip the mating material
• Turn power off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal panels
• If the original hole is damaged or oversized, consider using a slightly larger fastener or repair insert per manufacturer guidance

This water tank assembly is the refrigerator reservoir that stores and delivers water to the dispenser and ice system. Replacing a damaged tank helps restore proper water flow and prevents intermittent dispensing or leaks. What it does:

• Stores potable water for the dispenser and ice maker.
• Feeds water to dispenser/ice system when inlet valves open.
• Commonly replaced for cracks, leaks, or a reservoir that won't hold water.
• Can resolve weak or slow water flow from the dispenser.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting work.
• Drain remaining water from lines and the tank to minimize spills.
• Handle the plastic tank gently to avoid damage; basic hand tools are typically required.

This cover heater for the refrigerator water tank helps prevent the tank from freezing and supports reliable water dispensing. It replaces a damaged or failed heater cover to restore proper water flow and tank protection. What it does:

• Warms the water tank area to reduce the chance of frozen or partially frozen water in cold conditions
• Helps maintain consistent water flow from the dispenser by preventing ice build-up
• Protects internal tank components and wiring located near the heater assembly
• Common symptom: water dispenser slow, intermittent, or stops working when the reservoir is frozen or iced over

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service
• Shut off the water supply and drain the reservoir if required by your model
• Follow OEM service manual instructions and use proper tools to avoid damaging adjacent components

Water filter head and tubing assembly holds the water filter and connects the water lines to the water filter. Approximate dimensions: 13.6" x 12.7" x 4.6"

This freezer thermistor is the temperature sensor located in the freezer compartment. It sends temperature feedback to the control so the compressor, fan, and defrost cycle operate correctly, helping maintain consistent freezing performance and stable food storage.

• Monitors actual freezer temperature and changes resistance to signal the control board
• Helps regulate compressor and evaporator fan operation to achieve the set temperature
• Provides input for defrost timing to limit frost buildup and avoid warm swings
• Common failure symptoms: freezer too warm or too cold, temperature fluctuations, long run times, or excessive frost

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; work with dry hands and proper lighting
• Access the freezer sensor location; note original orientation and wire routing
• Transfer any mounting clip/holder to the new sensor and seat the connector fully; route wires exactly as original to avoid damage
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

The water filter cover attaches over the water filter and protects the water filter and head. Approximate dimensions: 7" x 7" x 2.6"
