Parts for Ge TPX24BIBCBB: 05 - Fresh Food Section Parts

The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It serves as a crucial component in managing the defrost cycle of the refrigerator, ensuring that frost buildup is regularly melted away from the evaporator coils. This timer periodically switches the refrigerator between cooling and defrost mode, helping to maintain efficient operation and prevent overcooling or excessive ice accumulation.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Frost building up more than usual in the freezer compartment.
• The refrigerator or freezer sections becoming too warm due to prolonged defrost cycles.
• The refrigerator not transitioning out of defrost mode, leading to spoiled food due to inadequate cooling.

Causes of a bad defrost timer can include mechanical wear from continuous use, electrical failures that impede the timer’s operation, or simply aging components that no longer function reliably.

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

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.

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.
