Parts for Ge PDSF5NBXABB: 04 - Fresh Food Section Parts

This replacement air tower assembly is the vertical duct that channels chilled air through the refrigerator compartment. Replacing a damaged tower restores proper airflow to help maintain even temperatures and consistent cooling from top to bottom.

• Directs cold air from the evaporator to vents in the fresh food section
• Helps balance temperatures and reduce warm spots
• Often replaced when the original is cracked, broken, or warped
• Common symptoms: weak airflow from refrigerator vents and uneven cooling in the fresh food compartment

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing.
• Remove shelves and bins for access; release tabs or remove screws securing the old tower.
• Transfer any clips or sensors from the original, if present; seat and secure the new tower.
• Restore power and verify airflow from the vents.

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 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.

This vertical vent duct is a direct-replacement exhaust channel that routes hot, moist air from the appliance to the home vent, helping maintain proper airflow and reduce moisture or heat buildup around the unit. What it does

• Channels exhaust air from the appliance to the household vent line.
• Helps prevent exhaust air from leaking into the room and reduces backflow.
• Common symptoms it can address: long drying cycles, excess humidity or heat near the appliance, and visible exhaust escaping into the room.
• Fits into the appliance's existing vent connection to restore correct airflow.

• Turn off and disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing.
• Verify the existing vent path is clear and the duct orientation matches appliance connections.
• Use basic hand tools; avoid crushing or kinking the duct during installation.

This vertical vent duct directs internal airflow inside the cabinet to help maintain consistent temperatures and proper circulation. It replaces a cracked, warped or missing duct to restore designed airflow paths and reduce uneven cooling. What it does:

• Channels cold air between compartments to support even cooling and freezing
• Prevents air leaks that can cause warm spots or extra run time
• Helps maintain proper defrost and frost patterns when installed correctly
• Reduces noise from rattling or vibrating panels if damaged ducts are secured

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove shelves, panels or evaporator cover as needed to access the old duct
• Inspect adjacent seals and fasteners; replace damaged clips or gaskets for best fit
• Reassemble panels securely and test operation; for model-specific instructions

This refrigerator temperature control board regulates cooling by reading sensor inputs and directing the compressor, fans, and defrost cycle. Replacing a failed board helps restore accurate temperatures and responsive controls.

• Monitors temperature sensors and maintains set points
• Controls the compressor, fans, and defrost cycle as designed
• Interfaces with the temperature buttons/display where equipped
• A failing board can cause drifting temps or no cooling, unresponsive controls, or intermittent cycling

• Disconnect power before servicing and verify no voltage is present
• Use ESD protection; handle the board by the edges only
• Photograph wiring; move keyed connectors one at a time and seat fully
• After installation, restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize; follow any model-specific setup on the service sheet
