Parts for Ge PTS25SHRBRBS: 05 - Fresh Food Section Parts

The GE refrigerator water filter is an OEM replacement part responsible for ensuring the quality of the water dispensed on GE Profile top and bottom freezer refrigerators. It is responsible for purifying the water before it reaches your glass or ice maker, providing you with clean and safe drinking water directly from your refrigerator. To maintain optimal water quality and ensure the filter's effectiveness, it is recommended to replace the filter every 6 months or when the rated capacity of 750 gallons is reached.

Over time, the water filter can become clogged with sediment, reducing its effectiveness. Regular use and the accumulation of minerals and contaminants can lead to the need for replacement.

Symptoms of a bad water filter include:

• Reduced water flow from the dispenser
• Ice cubes with an unusual taste or odor
• The filter indicator light staying on
• Visible particles in the water or ice

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models. For the best performance, it is recommended to replace the water filter every six months or as indicated by the filter change light on your refrigerator.

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. 

This silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is an electrical control component used to regulate power in appliance circuits, helping control heating and motor circuits for reliable operation. What it does:

• Acts as a semiconductor switch to control current flow in a circuit
• Enables precise switching of power to heating elements or motors
• Can prevent uncontrolled power delivery when functioning correctly
• Faulty SCRs may cause intermittent operation, no power to a circuit, or erratic heating/motor behavior

• Disconnect all power before servicing; risk of shock or damage
• Handle as an electrostatic-sensitive device; avoid touching leads or terminals directly
• Verify mounting orientation and secure all connections per appliance wiring diagrams

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators, designed to accurately monitor and relay the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments to the electronic control board. By detecting the slightest changes in internal temperature, the sensor allows the control board to make real-time adjustments to the cooling system, activating the compressor and fans as needed to maintain optimal conditions for food preservation.

Over time, the temperature sensor can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or general wear and tear. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to improper temperature regulation, affecting the efficiency of the refrigerator and the freshness of stored food.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Sensor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperature 
• The appliance running continuously or more frequently than normal
• Inaccurate temperature readings displayed  

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
