• Warming the new cap slightly can ease installation; do not force parts.

The Hinge Washer is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is located on the hinge between the refrigerator door and cabinet. The refrigerator door hinge washer works to evenly distribute weight and reduce stress and friction, enabling smooth and durable door operation.

Causes of a bad hinge washer are generally normal wear and tear. However, damage may also occur from unusually heavy loads being placed on the door, or accidents that impact the door and hinge assembly.

Symptoms of a bad refrigerator door hinge washer include:

• Increased resistance when opening or closing the door
• Excessive noise from the hinge area
• Visible wear marks on the hinge
• Over time and with heavy use, the washer can break down, resulting in improper balance and alignment of the door.

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

This SCR is a solid-state switching module that controls on/off power flow in select appliance circuits. Replacing a failed SCR helps stop intermittent operation and restores reliable switching for affected motors or heating elements. What it does:

• Regulates electrical switching in the control circuit to turn motors or heaters on and off.
• Used where a solid-state switch is required for smooth, repeatable control.
• Symptoms of a failing SCR: appliance won't start, runs intermittently, hums without operating, or a controlled circuit does not respond.
• Restores proper switching when the original SCR is shorted, open, or erratic.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service; follow lockout/tagout procedures.
• Handle as an electronic component—avoid static discharge and protect the spade terminals from bending or contamination.
• Ensure correct orientation and secure mounting; reconnect wiring exactly as shown on the appliance wiring diagram.

Restore accurate cooling with this refrigerator temperature control thermostat. The cold control senses compartment temperature and opens or closes the circuit to cycle the cooling system, helping maintain your selected setting when the original control becomes unreliable.

• Monitors refrigerator air temperature via a sensing bulb
• Opens/closes electrical contacts to cycle the cooling system
• Maintains the temperature you select with the control knob
• Common symptoms of a failing control: temperatures too warm or too cold, refrigerator runs constantly or won't start, no response to knob adjustments

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the control housing and note wire locations and the exact routing/placement of the sensing bulb
• Transfer any mounting hardware and the control knob from the old part; install the new thermostat
• Route and secure the sensing bulb exactly as original—do not kink the capillary; restore power, set to a mid setting, and allow temperatures to stabilize before fine-tuning

This shaft damper cushions and stabilizes a refrigerator/freezer door hinge to help the door close smoothly and reduce slamming. A simple replacement can restore consistent, quiet door movement and alignment. What it does:

• Dampens hinge movement so the door closes more gently and evenly
• Reduces hinge noise and sudden door drops or slamming
• Helps maintain proper door alignment and seal for consistent cooling
• Common symptom: door feels loose, slams, or doesn't close smoothly

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance) before beginning any repair
• Use appropriate hand tools; support the door or hinge while removing/installing the damper
• Handle hinge hardware carefully to avoid misalignment; test door operation after installation

This is a push-on spring knob used to operate a range or cooktop control shaft, restoring a secure grip and reliable control feel. Fits common GE control stems to replace a worn, cracked, or missing knob. What it does

• Replaces a damaged or missing control knob so you can safely set burner or oven heat levels.
• Provides a firm, spring-loaded fit to help the knob stay centered and prevent slipping.
• Restores tactile feedback for precise temperature or setting selection.
• Helps eliminate spinning or play caused by worn original knobs.

• One spring knob

• Push the knob straight onto the control shaft until it fully seats; no tools typically required.
• Disconnect power or gas supply and follow appliance safety instructions before servicing nearby components.
• If the control shaft is damaged or the knob does not secure properly, stop and inspect the control assembly; do not force the knob.

The Light Socket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for holding the refrigerator's light bulb and ensuring it receives power to illuminate the interior when the door is opened.

You should replace the light socket if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad light socket can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues such as short circuits or power surges, and corrosion from moisture exposure.

Symptoms of a bad light socket include:

• The refrigerator light not turning on when the door is opened
• Flickering or intermittent light operation
• Visible damage or corrosion on the socket
• 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 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.

This defrost timer cycles the refrigerator in and out of defrost at set intervals. By powering the defrost heater and then returning to cooling, it clears frost from the evaporator so airflow and temperatures remain stable.

• Switches power to the defrost heater on a timed schedule, then back to the compressor and fans
• Helps prevent heavy frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Failure may present as persistent frost, warm sections, the unit stuck in defrost (no cooling), or continuous running
• May also cause irregular clicking or a timer that won't advance

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the control housing or machine compartment, note wire positions, and remove the original timer
• Transfer any mounting hardware/bracket, orient the new timer like the original, and reconnect wiring securely
• Manually advance the timer if applicable to confirm switching, then restore power and monitor operation
