Parts for Ge GYE18JSLDFSS: Fresh Food Section Parts

This air tower assembly directs and channels cold air inside the fresh-food compartment to help maintain even cooling and proper airflow. It replaces a damaged or cracked duct that can cause uneven temperatures. What it does

• Routes conditioned air from the evaporator into the fresh-food section for consistent cooling.
• Helps prevent warm spots and reduces localized thawing or food spoilage.
• Restores proper airflow if existing tower is cracked, broken, or blocked.
• Can reduce frost build-up caused by disrupted airflow pathways.

• Disconnect power before starting any service to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove interior shelves and panels as needed for access; handle plastic parts gently to avoid cracking.
• Inspect surrounding seals and ducts during replacement; secure with factory fasteners only.

The Damper Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for GE refrigerators. This assembly is located within the fresh food compartment and functions to control airflow and temperature regulation. 

The damper works with the evaporator fan to carefully moderate circulating air, preventing cold spots and optimizing equal cooling. Consistent temperatures extend the shelf life of perishable goods. 

Causes of a faulty damper assembly can include failure of the plastic gears or axle that coordinate its movements over time. Improper air circulation disrupts the refrigerator's performance.

Symptoms include: 

• Formation of frost or ice buildup in problem areas  
• Inconsistent shelf temperatures from top to bottom
• Foods spoiling more quickly 

This replacement assembly from GE restores dependable temperature control. Upgrade today for continued fresh food preservation abilities matching OEM standards. It is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
 

The Bypass Filter Plug is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is used when a water filter is not installed. The bypass plug is essential for maintaining the refrigerator's water flow system, allowing water to bypass the filtration process. This is particularly useful during times when a replacement water filter is not immediately available or in situations where the household water supply is already adequately purified and additional filtration is not necessary.

Common causes of issues with the bypass filter plug include physical damage from handling, wear and tear over time, or improper installation. A faulty bypass filter plug can disrupt the water flow and affect the performance of the water dispenser and ice maker.

Symptoms of a bad Bypass Filter Plug include:

• Leakage or dripping from the water dispenser area.
• Difficulty in installing or removing the plug from the filter housing.
• Decreased water flow rate through the dispenser, indicating a potential blockage or improper fit.

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

This LED light board assembly provides the replacement LED module that illuminates the control/display area. Restores visibility of panel indicators and display lighting for proper operation and ease of use. What it does:

• Replaces the LED light module that backlights the control/display area and status indicators.
• Restores faded or non-lit control panel lighting that makes buttons and icons hard to see.
• Can resolve intermittent or no-light symptoms caused by a failed LED board.
• Works with the original housing and connectors for a direct-fit replacement.

• One LED light board assembly as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock.
• Handle the board by edges; avoid touching LED lenses or circuitry to prevent damage.
• Verify connector orientation and seating; secure mounting screws to prevent rattle.

This light shield is the protective interior cover that helps protect the refrigerator light and direct interior illumination for better visibility. It replaces a cracked, yellowed, or missing lens to restore a finished look. What it does:

• Covers and protects the refrigerator bulb or lamp from impacts and food contact
• Helps diffuse and direct light for more even interior illumination
• Restores a clean appearance if the original shield is cracked, discolored, or missing
• Can reduce glare from the bulb and prevent debris buildup on the lamp

• One light shield / interior lamp cover

• Disconnect power to the appliance before replacing the shield
• Remove shelves or clips that obstruct access, then snap or slide the shield into place
• Inspect the bulb and socket while replacing the shield; replace the bulb if needed
• Handle the shield carefully to avoid scratches or cracks; use only genuine replacement parts

The Manifold & Housing are OEM components specifically designed for GE refrigerators. This part includes both the manifold which distributes water and the outer housing that protects it. 

The manifold & housing work together to deliver filtered water to the refrigerator's dispenser and ice maker. It is responsible for efficiently directing water flow and ensuring reliable operation of components that require water. 

Symptoms of a bad manifold & housing include:

• Low water pressure at the dispenser 
• Streaking or staining around water line connections
• Ice maker or dispenser malfunctions due to lack of water
• Dripping or leaks from manifold or housing areas

This OEM GE part is specifically designed to fit your model fridge. It is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models for a factory fit and like-new performance.

The GE XWFE Refrigeration Water Filter is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This advanced water filter is designed to reduce a wide range of contaminants, including chlorine, lead, cysts, and select pharmaceuticals, providing clean and safe drinking water and ice. It seamlessly integrates into the refrigerator's filtration system, ensuring optimal water quality.

You should replace this water filter if it becomes clogged or reaches the end of its lifespan, typically every six months. Common causes of a bad water filter include excessive contaminants, improper installation, or failure to follow the replacement schedule.

Symptoms of a bad water filter include:

• Reduced water flow from the dispenser
• Unpleasant taste or odor in water and ice
• Cloudy or discolored water
• The filter indicator light on the refrigerator signaling a replacement

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

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators, designed to accurately monitor and relay the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments to the electronic control board. By detecting the slightest changes in internal temperature, the sensor allows the control board to make real-time adjustments to the cooling system, activating the compressor and fans as needed to maintain optimal conditions for food preservation.

Over time, the temperature sensor can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or general wear and tear. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to improper temperature regulation, affecting the efficiency of the refrigerator and the freshness of stored food.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Sensor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperature 
• The appliance running continuously or more frequently than normal
• Inaccurate temperature readings displayed  

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