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.

Original Whirlpool light bulb, 40 watt.

Symptoms of needing to replace the light bulb include:

• Dimming or flickering light

• 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 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.
