Parts for Ge TPJ24PRBBBB: 05 - Fresh Food Section Parts

This mechanical defrost timer controls the refrigeration cycle by advancing the fridge from cooling to defrost at set intervals, helping prevent frost build-up and maintain efficient cooling performance. What it does:

• Advances compressor and defrost heater circuits between cooling and defrost modes
• Stops excessive frost accumulation on evaporator coils when operating correctly
• Commonly replaced when refrigerator cycles incorrectly or ice builds on coils
• Fits as a direct-replacement time-control for compatible GE refrigerators

• One mechanical defrost timer (single unit)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the timer
• Mounts and wiring match factory connector locations; transfer any bracket or knob from the old unit if required
• Verify timer position and settings per the refrigerator service instructions after installation

This mobility wheel is the small cabinet roller that helps your refrigerator glide for cleaning or service. Replacing a worn, cracked, or missing wheel restores smooth movement and supports proper leveling and positioning. What it does:

• Supports the base of the cabinet and allows the unit to roll when repositioning
• Replaces wheels that are cracked, flat-spotted, broken, or missing
• Common symptoms: refrigerator is hard to move, drags or scrapes, sits unevenly, or shows visible wheel damage
• Aids in pulling the appliance out for maintenance or cleaning

• 1 mobility wheel

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before moving the appliance
• Use two people and protect flooring; raise/adjust leveling legs to relieve weight from the wheel
• Access the base/roller bracket, remove the damaged wheel, and install the new wheel securely
• Lower and re-level the unit, reconnect utilities, and verify smooth movement

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

This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, and other hardware in your appliance. Installing a new fastener restores a tight, rattle-free fit when the original is missing, stripped, or corroded, helping keep components properly aligned.

• Fastens components, trim, and brackets to the cabinet or frame
• Replaces a missing, stripped, or rusted screw
• Helps reduce rattles, vibration, and loose panels or handles
• Maintains proper alignment of panels and hardware

• Disconnect power (and water/gas if applicable) before servicing.
• 12-24 thread, approximately 0.90-inch length; match to the original location.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening.
• Replace any additional damaged fasteners to ensure even clamping and a secure fit.

This water tank is the internal reservoir that stores and chills water for the refrigerator dispenser. Replacing a damaged tank helps restore proper dispenser flow and prevents water from pooling inside the fresh food compartment. What it does:

• Holds and cools drinking water inside the refrigerator before it reaches the dispenser
• Helps maintain steady dispenser flow and reduces spurting
• Typical failure symptoms: water leaking inside the fridge (often near the crisper area), visible cracks in the reservoir, or weak/no water from the dispenser after other causes are ruled out

• Includes: 1 water tank

• Disconnect power and shut off the household water supply before service
• Remove interior shelves/drawers to access the tank and cover; place a towel to catch residual water
• Release tubing from quick-connect fittings; note routing and lengths, and ensure tubes are fully seated on reassembly
• Restore water, check for leaks, and dispense several cups to purge air and flush the system

The Water Tank Plastic Tube is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It functions as a conduit, transporting water from the water tank to the dispenser and ice maker, ensuring a steady flow of water for these features.

You should replace this plastic tube if it becomes damaged or worn out. Causes of a bad water tank plastic tube can include wear and tear over time, blockages from mineral deposits, or physical damage from mishandling or kinks.

Symptoms of a bad water tank plastic tube include:

• Leaks or drips from the tube
• Reduced or no water flow to the dispenser or ice maker
• Visible cracks or damage to the tube
• Air bubbles in the water line

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

The Door Closure Spring is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It provides balanced tension to assist the door hinges and latch mechanism in securely closing the refrigerator door. The spring helps the door shut fully while preventing it from slamming closed abruptly.  

Symptoms of a bad door closure spring include:

• The door not latching securely or remaining slightly ajar    
• Difficulty closing the door fully without assistance
• Increased thermal loss as the door does not seal tightly
• Risk of food items falling out from an open door position   

Causes of failure include metal fatigue from prolonged use. Springs can also weaken from mineral buildup over many years of repeated openings and closings. 

This OEM GE replacement spring is also compatible with models including GE, Monogram, and select Kenmore units.
