The Light Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It controls the interior light, turning it on when the refrigerator door is opened and off when the door is closed. This ensures proper illumination for visibility when accessing the refrigerator's contents.

A malfunctioning light switch can result from wear and tear, electrical issues, or damage caused by repeated use. Over time, the internal mechanism may fail, or the housing can crack, leading to improper operation.

Symptoms of a bad light switch include:

• Interior light not turning on when the door is opened
• Light staying on even when the door is closed
• Flickering or inconsistent light operation
• Difficulty pressing or releasing the switch

This GE replacement part is also compatible with 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.

This thumb-style drive knob replaces a worn or broken control knob to restore secure grip and reliable manual control. It gives a firm finger grip for turning selector shafts and improves user control and safety. What it does:

• Replaces a stripped, cracked or missing thumb-style control knob
• Provides a positive grip on a control/drive shaft for precise setting changes
• Helps stop slipping or spinning knobs that make controls hard to adjust
• Fits as a direct replacement when the original knob no longer engages properly

• One thumb knob

• Remove power or unplug appliance before servicing to avoid electrical/hazard risk
• Pull off the old knob by hand; press the replacement onto the control shaft until fully seated
• If knob does not seat easily, verify shaft alignment before forcing

A replacement clip bar used to secure small components and trim inside compatible appliances. Restores proper retention so panels, wiring, or trim stay in place and reduces rattling or loose parts. What it does

• Secures panels, trim pieces or small assemblies in place to prevent shifting during use
• Holds wiring or harnesses away from moving parts to reduce wear and noise
• Stops rattling or vibration caused by loose clips or retainers
• Helps maintain proper alignment of removable interior components

• One clip bar

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove adjacent trim or panels as needed to access the mounting location; keep screws and fasteners for reassembly
• Install the clip by lining it up with the mounting slot or tab and pressing or fastening per OEM orientation

This main electronic control board manages and coordinates a refrigerator's core functions, restoring proper electronic control for temperature regulation and cycle sequencing. Replacing a failed board can stop erratic behavior and restore normal operation. What it does:

• Receives inputs from temperature sensors and user controls to regulate cooling cycles
• Controls compressor and fan operation timing to maintain set temperatures
• Manages defrost cycles and associated timing for frost control
• Communicates status to displays and can clear symptoms caused by failed electronics
• Often linked to symptoms such as no cooling, intermittent cooling, unresponsive display/panel, or error codes

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock and board damage
• Handle the board by edges and avoid static; use grounding if available
• Reconnect all wiring harnesses and mounting hardware exactly as removed
• Test operation after installation; if issues persist

This protector board is an electrical safety/control component designed to guard a refrigerator's control electronics from abnormal voltage or current conditions, helping prevent damage and extend circuit longevity. What it does

• Monitors and helps protect control circuits from voltage spikes and electrical faults.
• Prevents repeated damage to main control boards and related electronics.
• Can stop intermittent control failures, erratic display behavior, or appliance shutdowns caused by power-related issues.
• Works as part of the appliance's protective circuitry—not a user-serviceable fuse replacement.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work.
• Handle the board carefully and avoid touching components or connector pins; static discharge can damage electronics.
• Verify the replacement part number matches the original before installation.
