The Screw is an OEM replacement part for GE brand refrigerators. It is commonly used to secure panels, handles, shelves, or other parts of the refrigerator.

Causes of a faulty refrigerator screw can include wear and tear over time, damage due to mishandling or over-tightening, or loss of thread integrity. These factors can result in loose or ineffective connections, compromising the stability or functionality of the attached components.

Symptoms of a bad refrigerator screw may include:

• Loose or wobbly panels, handles, or shelves
• Difficulty in attaching or securing components
• Visible damage or breakage of the screw

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

This adaptive defrost control module manages a refrigerator's defrost cycles to reduce unnecessary defrosting and help maintain proper cooling performance. It replaces the original control board that times and initiates defrost events. What it does:

• Monitors fridge activity and initiates defrost cycles based on usage patterns to avoid excess frost buildup
• Controls the defrost heater and terminates defrost when appropriate to protect the evaporator
• Can prevent frequent or missed defrosts that lead to frost-covered evaporator coils
• Commonly replaced when the freezer or refrigerator shows repeated frosting, long run-times, or inconsistent cooling

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage
• Replace the module in the control housing; handle the board carefully to avoid static damage
• Verify wiring matches the original and secure all connectors; note orientation before removal
• Restore power and observe a few cycles to confirm the unit is initiating/terminating defrosts correctly

This temperature control is the thermostat that monitors refrigerator temps and cycles cooling components to maintain the selected setpoint. Replacing a faulty control helps restore consistent cooling and prevents temperature swings that risk food spoilage. What it does

• Senses interior temperature and sends signals to the compressor and fans to start or stop as needed.
• Regulates cycling to maintain the user-set temperature and prevent over- or under-cooling.
• Common symptom indicator: erratic temperatures, fridge running constantly, or compressor not cycling.
• Works as the control interface between the thermostat sensor and the cooling system components.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle electronic components and wiring gently; unplug connectors by the plug, not the wires.
• Access may require removing the control housing or rear cover.
