Parts for Ge GFSS6KIXCSS: 06 - Fresh Food Section Parts

The water filter is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This filter removes or reduces various contaminants.

Features and Benefits:

• Easy DIY replacement, typically mounted inside the refrigerator at the back of the compartment.
• Removes or reduces various contaminants in your water and ice, including lead, cysts, asbestos, atrazine, , taste and odor, chlorine, sediment, turbidity, and more
• NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 standards
• 6 Month lifespan filter
• Carbon Block media
• Micron rating: 0.5-1 micron (Class I)

When to replace your filter:

• Bad taste or odor in water and ice
• Cloudy or discolored ice
• Reduced water flow or pressure
• Refrigerator replace filter indicator light is on

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 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 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

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 damper motor assembly controls the refrigerator air damper to help regulate airflow between compartments, restoring proper temperature balance and reducing uneven cooling when the original motor fails. What it does:

• Moves the air damper to open or close airflow between freezer and fresh-food sections
• Allows the fridge control to direct colder or warmer air as needed for temperature regulation
• A faulty unit can cause symptoms like warm or inconsistent fresh-food temperatures, reduced cooling performance, or unusual clicking/noise at the damper area

• Disconnect power before starting; work on powered appliances can cause shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing interior panels or shelving to reach the damper housing
• Align the motor drive and damper linkage; don't force gears or clips when installing
• After installation, restore power and verify damper movement and temperature control operation

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

A self-tapping screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a threaded hole is formed as the screw is driven. Provides a secure hold for trim, brackets, and light assemblies during repairs. What it does:

• Cuts its own mating thread in sheet metal or thin plastic to secure panels and brackets
• Helps hold trim, access panels, or internal components in place
• Commonly used where a tapped hole is not present or repair requires a replacement fastener
• Can prevent loose parts and rattles caused by missing or damaged screws

• Unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical or mechanical hazards
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the screw head
• Start the screw straight and apply steady pressure; do not overtighten to avoid cracking plastic or stripping metal
• Replace only with the exact part number to ensure proper fit and function
