Hotpoint Refrigerator Parts

This leveling leg supports and stabilizes the refrigerator cabinet. Adjusting it keeps the unit level so doors align and seal correctly, helping reduce vibration and noise for smoother, more reliable performance.

• Threads into the base to support and level the appliance
• Allows height adjustment for proper door alignment and gasket contact
• Helps reduce rocking, vibration, and rattling noises
• Resolve issues like doors not closing fully, uneven gaps, or a wobbly cabinet

• Disconnect power and move the appliance carefully to access the leg
• Use a helper and protect flooring; tip the unit slightly and support it securely
• Unthread the old leg; hand-thread the new leg, then adjust as needed with a wrench
• Level front-to-back and side-to-side; avoid cross-threading or overtightening

This electronic board powers and controls the light at the refrigerator's water/ice dispenser. Replacing it restores reliable illumination and proper on/off operation so you can clearly see the dispenser area during everyday use.

• Supplies regulated power to the dispenser light circuit for consistent brightness
• Responds to dispenser/control inputs to turn the light on and off
• A failing board can cause flickering or dim lighting
• Common symptoms include no dispenser light, intermittent light, or a light that stays on

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the board behind the dispenser panel/escutcheon; remove trim carefully to avoid damage
• Handle the board by the edges and avoid static discharge; ensure connectors are fully seated

This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature and controls power to the defrost heater, shutting it off at the correct point in the cycle. Replacing a failed thermostat helps clear frost and restore stable cooling and airflow.

• Senses evaporator coil temperature in the freezer
• Closes when cold to allow the defrost heater to run; opens as the coil warms to terminate defrost
• Helps prevent excessive frost buildup and maintains proper airflow
• Typical failure signs: heavy frost on the evaporator/back wall, weak airflow, warm fresh-food section, unit runs constantly or never defrosts

• Disconnect power and wear appropriate safety gloves before servicing
• Access the evaporator behind the rear freezer panel; note wire routing and original mounting on the refrigerant tubing
• Install the new thermostat in the same location with firm thermal contact; do not damage coil fins or tubing
• If your model uses spliced leads, use approved connectors and secure all joints; replace all covers before restoring power

This defrost thermostat monitors the evaporator coil temperature and controls power to the defrost heater. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrosting, reduces frost buildup, and helps keep fresh food and freezer compartments cooling as designed.

• Senses evaporator temperature to open/close the defrost heater circuit at the correct point in the cycle
• Protects against overheating during defrost by interrupting power when the set temperature is reached
• Helps prevent heavy frost/ice accumulation on the evaporator and loss of airflow
• Common signs it may be bad: ice behind the freezer rear panel, warm refrigerator section, unit never defrosts or refreezes soon after a manual defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove the freezer's rear panel to access the evaporator; the thermostat is typically clamped to an evaporator tube
• Match wire positions and mount the new thermostat in the same location with firm contact to the tubing
• Route wires away from the fan and sharp edges; reassemble and verify normal defrost operation

This white stop door replaces the dispenser stop/door that controls access to the ice/water chute, helping restore proper dispenser operation and reduce sticking or unwanted discharge. Designed to match the original OEM fit and appearance. What it does

• Seals and releases the dispenser opening so ice or water is dispensed only when the door is actuated
• Replaces a cracked, warped, or jammed stop door that can cause sticking or partial openings
• Helps prevent accidental drips or debris entering the dispenser chute
• Restores a smooth, aligned door movement for reliable dispensing

• One white stop door

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove dispenser housing or outer door per the service manual to access the stop door
• Inspect the actuator and mounting tabs for damage; replace if worn to ensure proper operation
• Use basic hand tools;

Open - 50, close - 30

This replacement leveling screw secures and adjusts an appliance's leg so the unit sits level and stable on the floor. Restores proper tilt for even door operation and stable performance. What it does:

• Replaces a worn or damaged leveling screw used to raise or lower an appliance leg
• Helps stop rocking, reduce vibration, and keep doors aligned
• Common fix when an appliance tilts forward/back or is uneven on the floor
• Works with the corresponding leveling leg/assembly to set final height

• Support the appliance before adjusting or removing leveling hardware to prevent tipping
• Use appropriate hand tools; tighten securely but avoid over-torquing
• No electrical disconnection is typically required, but unplug if working near electrical components
• If the leveling leg assembly is damaged, replace the entire leg/assembly per manufacturer instructions

This stop door is the dispenser closure that helps control and seal the ice/water opening so the dispenser stays closed when not in use. It restores proper sealing and prevents drafts or drips from the dispenser area. What it does:

• Closes and seals the dispenser opening to help stop air exchange and reduce moisture entry
• Moves with the dispenser actuator to expose the chute only during dispensing
• Helps prevent water or ice from dripping when the dispenser is idle
• Reduces airflow that can cause frost or temperature issues in the dispensing area

• One stop door

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove dispenser cover/panel per your model's service instructions to access the stop door assembly
• Inspect mounting pins and the actuator linkage; replace any broken fasteners for proper operation
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid cracking; re-test dispenser operation after reassembly

The Water Valve and Tube Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE side-by-side refrigerators. It serves as the inlet valve installed inside the fresh food compartment. 

Causes of a faulty assembly can include mineral buildup inhibiting proper valve opening or cracking/splitting of aging plastic tubes. Electrical issues affecting the valve solenoid may also develop over time.

Symptoms of a problematic assembly include:

• Ice maker or water dispenser unable to consistently produce ice/water  
• Leaks present around the rear inlet area
• Valve components failed to activate 

Compatible models also include Profile and Monogram side-by-side refrigerators.

The MWF Bypass is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. Located within the bottom freezer compartment, the metal water filter bypass fitted assembly is responsible for directing filtered or unfiltered water flow to the ice maker and dispenser.

Causes for replacement may include faulty diverter components obstructing water flow to selections or resulting in water leaks.

Symptoms of a problematic bypass unit include:

• Inability to select filtered or unfiltered water from the dispenser
• Ice maker failure due to lack of water or poor water quality
• Mineral deposits accumulating on internal parts from unfiltered water

This OEM replacement bypass is compatible with GE, Hotpoint, and Profile model refrigerators.

The Icemaker is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to produce ice cubes by automatically filling the ice mold with water, freezing it, and then ejecting the ice into the ice bucket. This part ensures a steady supply of ice for your household needs.

Causes of a bad icemaker can include mechanical wear and tear, electrical failures, or issues with the water supply. Over time, the icemaker’s components can degrade, leading to inconsistent ice production or complete failure.

Symptoms of a bad icemaker include:

• No ice production
• Small, misshapen, or hollow ice cubes
• Ice maker not ejecting ice
• Unusual noises from the ice maker

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