Parts for Ge GST20DBMDCC: 07 - Fresh Food Section Parts

This encoder board assembly interprets user input from the range/oven control console and sends the correct signals to the appliance control system, restoring reliable button/knob response and control selection behavior. What it does:

• Converts knob/button movements into electronic signals the main control can read
• Helps ensure accurate selection of temperature, modes and timers
• Common symptom: controls are unresponsive or selections don't register
• Common symptom: erratic or intermittent control behavior when using the console

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting any work
• Handle the board carefully and avoid static discharge; ground yourself or use an anti-static strap
• Keep track of screws and mounting hardware; label harnesses or take photos before disconnecting
• Reconnect harnesses fully and test function before reassembling the console

This damper gasket seals the refrigerator air damper opening between the freezer and fresh food compartments to prevent air leaks and help maintain stable temperatures. A new seal supports proper airflow and helps reduce moisture or frost near the damper. What it does:

• Seals the perimeter of the air damper/baffle to prevent bypass air leaks
• Helps regulate airflow from freezer to refrigerator for consistent cooling
• Wear, flattening, or tears can lead to warm spots in the fresh food section
• May also contribute to condensation, frost, or whistling/draft at the damper cover

• 1 damper gasket

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the interior damper cover/grille to access the damper; note gasket orientation
• Seat the new gasket evenly around the damper frame without stretching or twisting
• Reinstall cover, restore power, and verify airflow and door sealing

The Refrigerator Damper and Gasket Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It includes a moving damper plate that regulates airflow through vents, as well as its surrounding sealing gasket.

Symptoms of a bad assembly include:

• Inability to maintain proper internal temperatures
• Frost or condensation buildup inside from restricted airflow
• Odors or flavors transferring between compartments
• Noisy ventilation from a loose damper plate

Causes of a bad assembly can be worn over extended use, cracks forming in the damper component itself, or a degraded gasket failing to seal properly.

This genuine GE replacement is compatible with additional GE refrigerator brands including Hotpoint and RCA.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

A direct-replacement hi side air separator that helps remove trapped air from the appliance high-side fluid line to restore steady flow and reliable performance. Replaces a worn or clogged separator to address flow interruptions and noise. What it does:

• Separates trapped air from the high-side fluid line so the system can maintain proper flow
• Helps reduce symptoms like intermittent flow, sputtering or aerated output, and unusual operational noise
• Restores consistent performance when a damaged or blocked separator is the cause
• Works as a direct-fit replacement when the OEM separator has failed

• One hi side air separator

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Shut off water or service valves as applicable and relieve system pressure per manufacturer instructions
• Inspect surrounding fittings and seals; replace any damaged components to prevent leaks
