The Lower Cam Riser is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is located at the bottom hinge of the refrigerator door. The cam riser aids in the smooth opening and closing of the door, lifting it slightly as it swings open and allowing it to settle securely when closed.

Causes for a malfunctioning Lower Cam Riser can include wear and tear from the regular opening and closing of the refrigerator door, mechanical damage, or issues arising from a misaligned door that adds stress to the cam.

Symptoms of a bad Lower Cam Riser include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the refrigerator door
• A sagging door that doesn’t align properly with the frame
• Unusual noises, such as grinding or clicking, during door operation
• Wear or damage visible on the cam

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

This assembly meters cold air from the freezer into the fresh-food compartment and provides temperature feedback to the controls. Replacing a failing unit restores proper airflow and more stable, even cooling performance.

• Motorized damper door opens and closes to regulate airflow from the freezer; stuck-open can cause freezing near the vent, stuck-closed can leave the fresh-food section warm.
• Integrated thermistor senses compartment temperature and signals the control board; a failed sensor can cause erratic or inconsistent temperatures.
• Helps balance airflow between compartments to maintain set temperatures.
• Common clues include clicking/chattering from the damper area, weak or constant airflow, warm spots, or items freezing on upper shelves.

• Disconnect power before servicing.
• Access the damper through the fresh-food air duct; remove shelves and the duct cover as needed.
• Disconnect the wire harness; route and seat wiring and seals in the same positions during reassembly to prevent air leaks.
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.

This mullion duct cap closes and protects the end of the refrigerator mullion air duct, helping maintain directed airflow and a finished appearance on the door jamb. It replaces a cracked or missing end cap to reduce drafts and keep the duct sealed. What it does:

• Caps and protects the open end of the mullion air duct to preserve airflow routing
• Helps prevent air leakage that can contribute to uneven cooling or frost buildup near the door
• Restores a clean, finished look to the door mullion area
• Keeps debris and moisture out of the duct to reduce odors and buildup

• One mullion duct end cap

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Typically installs by snapping or sliding into the duct end; use moderate force and avoid prying with metal tools
• Inspect surrounding trim and fasteners and replace any damaged clips as needed

The Light Bulb (40W) is an OEM component for GE refrigerators. As an essential task lamp, it illuminates the interior of the refrigerator and freezer compartments. 

All light bulbs will eventually burn out with consistent use over many years. Vibration during compressor cycles can also potentially disrupt bulb filaments faster. 

Symptoms of a burnt out refrigerator light bulb include:

• Dim or no light illuminating inside refrigerator shelves  
• Shadows and dark spots making it difficult to find items
• Higher utility costs from leaving the door open to see inside

This bulb is also compatible with refrigerators from brands like Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models. 

The Light Bulb Socket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It holds the light bulb in place within the refrigerator, ensuring a secure connection to provide illumination when the refrigerator door is opened. This socket ensures that the interior light functions correctly, allowing users to see and access food items easily.

Common causes of a bad light bulb socket include electrical issues, such as short circuits, wear and tear from regular use, or physical damage from handling or bulb replacements.

Symptoms of a bad light bulb socket include:

• The refrigerator light flickering or not turning on
• Burn marks or signs of overheating around the socket
• Loose or poor connection with the light bulb
• The light bulb not fitting securely or falling out

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

This hinge cover replaces the plastic trim that snaps over the refrigerator door hinge to restore appearance and protect the hinge area from dust and dings. Fits the bisque/color-matched hinge opening for a clean finish. What it does:

• Covers and protects the door hinge housing from dirt, moisture, and everyday wear
• Restores cosmetic appearance where a chipped or missing cover exposes the hinge
• Helps prevent accidental contact with hinge hardware for safer daily use
• Matches bisque-colored trim so the door looks factory-original

• One hinge cover (bisque) as shown

• Unplug the appliance or turn off power at the breaker before servicing if work near electrical components is required
• Support or stabilize the door before removing hinge trim to avoid door movement
• Typically snaps into place or secures with the original fasteners; keep existing screws/clips and reuse if present

This hinge cover screw fastens the hinge cover in place, helping keep it secure and protecting the hinge components beneath. Replace a missing or stripped screw to stop the cover from loosening or rattling.

• Secures the hinge cover to the door/cabinet hinge
• Helps protect hinge hardware and wiring under the cover
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing hardware
• Common symptoms: loose or missing hinge cover, vibration or rattling at the hinge area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing near the hinge area
• Use the correct screwdriver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Align the cover properly and tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping
• Keep the door closed during work to minimize movement

The Light Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It controls the interior light, turning it on when the refrigerator door is opened and off when the door is closed. This ensures proper illumination for visibility when accessing the refrigerator's contents.

A malfunctioning light switch can result from wear and tear, electrical issues, or damage caused by repeated use. Over time, the internal mechanism may fail, or the housing can crack, leading to improper operation.

Symptoms of a bad light switch include:

• Interior light not turning on when the door is opened
• Light staying on even when the door is closed
• Flickering or inconsistent light operation
• Difficulty pressing or releasing the switch

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.
