General Electric Compressor & Sealed System

This evaporator assembly circulates refrigerant through the freezer evaporator to remove heat and maintain cold temperatures. Replacing a damaged evaporator restores cooling performance and helps prevent ice buildup. What it does:

• Circulates refrigerant through the freezer coil to absorb heat
• Enables frost-free operation by allowing proper airflow over the coil
• Commonly linked to symptoms like poor cooling, excessive frost or ice buildup, and long or constant run cycles
• Works with the refrigerator's blower and defrost system to maintain temperature balance

• Disconnect power before starting any repair
• Some installations require removing interior panels and defrosting the evaporator for access
• Handle coil fins carefully to avoid bending; inspect surrounding seals and drain path

This evaporator coil assembly circulates refrigerant and absorbs heat inside the freezer/refrigerator evaporator compartment to help maintain proper cooling. Replacing a damaged or corroded evaporator restores normal cold performance and helps prevent frost buildup. What it does:

• Transfers heat from the evaporator compartment to the refrigerant so the appliance can cool effectively.
• Helps maintain proper freezer/refrigerator temperature and defrost cycles when functioning correctly.
• Commonly replaced for symptoms such as weak cooling, visible damage or corrosion, or excessive frost/ice buildup on the evaporator.
• Works with the appliance's evaporator fan and defrost system to manage cold airflow and moisture.

• One evaporator coil assembly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access typically requires removing interior panels and handling sealed-system components; avoid releasing refrigerant.
• Inspect related parts (evaporator fan, defrost heater/thermostat) while servicing for reliable operation.
