General Electric Compressor & Sealed System

This evaporator coil circulates refrigerant to remove heat inside the freezer compartment and supports the refrigerator's automatic defrost cycle. Replacing a damaged evaporator restores proper cooling performance and reduces frost buildup. What it does:

• Transfers heat from inside the freezer to the refrigerant so the appliance can cool.
• Enables the appliance's defrost system to melt frost and prevent ice buildup.
• Commonly replaced when freezer cooling is weak or frost accumulates on the evaporator.
• Works with the compressor, condenser, and expansion device to maintain proper temperatures.

• One evaporator coil assembly

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair.
• Inspect and replace any gaskets, mounting hardware, or seals as needed; follow OEM instructions for proper fitment.
• Handle the coil carefully to avoid bending fins or damaging connections.

This evaporator coil assembly absorbs heat from the refrigerator/freezer compartment so the appliance can maintain proper cold temperatures. Replacing a damaged evaporator helps restore normal cooling and frost control. What it does:

• Circulates refrigerant through the evaporator to remove heat from the cabinet
• Enables the cooling cycle so the compressor and fans can maintain set temperatures
• Works with the defrost system to prevent excessive frost buildup on the coil
• Failure can cause reduced cooling, long run times, or visible frost/ice on the evaporator

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Defrost completely and remove any ice or frost before removing the old evaporator.
• Inspect and replace related gaskets, seals, or mounts as needed for a proper fit and leak-free installation.
