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

A small mounting clip that secures a plastic housing or cover to the appliance frame, keeping panels aligned and internal components protected. Replaces a worn or broken clip to restore proper fit and reduce rattles. What it does:

• Secures a housing or access cover to the appliance cabinet so panels stay aligned
• Keeps wiring and internal components covered and protected from debris
• Stops covers from sagging, rattling or falling off due to a broken clip
• Helps maintain normal airflow paths and panel fit where applicable

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or servicing panels
• Typically fastens with snap-in engagement or a small screw; basic hand tools may be required
• Handle plastic panels and clips gently to avoid cracking; replace any damaged adjacent fasteners

This freezer evaporator fan motor assembly drives the fan that moves cold air across the evaporator coils and circulates it through the cabinet. Replacing a weak or failed motor restores airflow for more consistent, reliable cooling performance.

• Circulates air across the evaporator coil to remove heat from the freezer
• Helps distribute cold air to maintain stable temperatures
• Common symptoms: fan not running, intermittent operation, loud squealing/rattling, weak or no airflow from vents, warmer-than-normal temperatures
• Supports proper defrost airflow around the evaporator area

What's included: 1 freezer evaporator fan motor assembly Install notes:

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove freezer contents/shelves and the rear panel to access the motor
• Note wire connector orientation and routing; keep wiring clear of the fan path
• After mounting, ensure the fan spins freely; restore power and verify airflow

This evaporator cover assembly protects the refrigerator evaporator coil and helps direct cold airflow for reliable cooling. Replacing a damaged or missing cover restores proper air circulation and reduces frost or water issues. What it does:

• Shields the evaporator coil from debris and accidental contact
• Helps channel cold air through the freezer/refrigerator compartments
• Reduces uneven cooling and localized frost buildup when installed correctly
• Prevents direct dripping onto components that can cause water pooling

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove interior panels, shelves or the evaporator access cover as required to reach the coil.
• Handle carefully around sharp sheet-metal edges and the evaporator fins to avoid damage or injury.
• Do not attempt any sealed-system repairs.

This is an evaporator cover and fan assembly that is used for the fresh food sections on refrigerators. This component makes up the back wall of the fresh food compartment and circulates the air over the evaporator to keep the food longer. If food is not staying as fresh for as long, it's a good idea to check this part for any damage and to ensure that it is working properly. The motor makes noise, such as a high pitched sound, if the evaporator fan motor is going bad. If that's the case, the entire evaporate and fan assembly will need to be replaced. Disconnect the refrigerator from its power source before replacing this part. Wear work gloves to protect the hands during this process.This evaporator cover and fan assembly is sold individually. It's a genuine OEM part that comes straight from the manufacturer. This part is compatible with refrigerators that are manufactured by GE.

This is a self-tapping screw used to secure appliance panels and small components. It provides a reliable hold in sheet metal and plastic mounting points to restore proper fit and prevent rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Fastens trim, brackets, and light-duty panels where a tapped hole is needed
• Creates its own threads in thin metal or plastic mounting points
• Helps stop vibration-related noise by securing loose panels
• Commonly used during repairs of control panels, inner liners, and external trim

• One tapping screw as shown

• Use the correctly sized screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Drive straight and stop when snug; over-tightening can strip the mating material
• Turn power off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal panels
• If the original hole is damaged or oversized, consider using a slightly larger fastener or repair insert per manufacturer guidance

This water tank assembly holds and directs refrigerated water for dispensing and ice production, restoring normal water flow and supply to the ice maker and dispenser. Easy-to-replace reservoir designed to fit the factory mounting points. What it does:

• Stores and supplies water to the ice maker and dispenser.
• Routes incoming water through internal channels to the icemaker/dispenser valves.
• Helps maintain steady water flow when the dispenser or icemaker calls for water.
• Commonly replaced for symptoms like leaks, visible cracks, no/low water to dispenser, or ice maker not filling.

• Turn off the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before starting.
• Disconnect electrical power and water line fittings carefully to avoid damage.
• Inspect and replace associated gaskets or quick-disconnect fittings if they are worn or leaking.
• Handle the reservoir gently to avoid cracking; test for leaks and proper fill after reassembly.

Water filter head and tubing assembly holds the water filter and connects the water lines to the water filter. Approximate dimensions: 13.6" x 12.7" x 4.6"

The water filter cover attaches over the water filter and protects the water filter and head. Approximate dimensions: 7" x 7" x 2.6"

This motor cover protects the damper motor assembly, keeping the motor and linkage free from debris for reliable vent operation. It helps shield internal components to reduce wear and prevent foreign object interference. What it does

• Guards the damper motor and linkage from dust, crumbs and other debris
• Maintains proper clearance around the motor to help consistent damper movement
• Can reduce rattling or contact noise caused by loose components
• Useful when replacing a cracked, broken or missing motor cover

• One motor cover

• High-level replacement: remove power, access the damper assembly, remove fasteners, swap the cover, and reassemble
• Always disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Keep track of screws and any small parts during disassembly
• If the damper motor or linkage are damaged, replace those components rather than relying on the cover alone

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
