The Ice Bucket and Crusher is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators responsible for storing and dispensing ice cubes. The bucket securely holds the ice, while the crusher mechanism allows you to dispense crushed ice. 

A bad ice bucket and crusher can occur due to damage or wear and tear over time. If you notice symptoms such as cracks, broken parts, or difficulty in dispensing or crushing ice, it may indicate a need to replace the ice bucket and crusher.

Symptoms of a bad ice bucket and crusher include:

• Cracks or broken parts
• Difficulty in dispensing or crushing ice
• Inoperable or jammed crusher mechanism

Restore your refrigerator's ice storage and crushing capabilities by replacing the faulty ice bucket and crusher with this genuine OEM part.

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

This ice box thermistor cover protects and positions the refrigerator/freezer temperature sensor so it accurately monitors compartment temperature. It helps keep the sensor clear of frost and direct contact with food or ice. What it does:

• Shields the thermistor probe from direct contact with ice, frost, or stored items
• Holds the temperature sensor in the correct location for consistent readings
• Helps reduce false temperature readings and related cycling or ice-maker issues
• Supports stable temperature control by protecting the sensor from physical damage

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage.
• Remove access panel or liner as needed to reach the thermistor; retain any screws or clips.
• Install by aligning over the thermistor probe and securing with the existing clip or fastener; handle the sensor probe gently.

The Small Cube Ice Maker is an OEM component specifically designed for GE refrigerators. Responsible for automatically producing batches of fresh ice cubes on demand, this ice maker operates through freeze cycles that steadily deposit ice into the storage bin below. 

Causes of an underperforming ice maker include mineral buildup that disrupts the freezing process over time. Mechanical parts inside like the harvester can also experience normal wear.

Symptoms of a failing ice maker involve:

• Slow or reduced ice production 
• Ice cubes sticking together or fused sizes
• Empty bins despite the unit running
• Grinding or unusual noise during freeze cycles

Restore reliable ice provision with this genuine GE replacement. This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Dual Water Valve is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for regulating the supply of water to the refrigerator's water and ice dispenser.

Causes can be mineral buildup inhibiting water flow, worn internal components like seals or o-rings failing over time, or issues with the electronic control board.

Symptoms of a bad dual water valve include:

• Slow or inconsistent water flow from the dispenser
• Louder than normal operating sounds coming from the valve area
• Fluctuations in water temperature from the dispenser
• Ice maker or water dispenser not functioning at all

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



 

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 Water Filter Manifold is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for housing and connecting the water filter, ensuring that clean and filtered water flows through your refrigerator's dispenser.

A bad water filter manifold can occur due to wear and tear over time or damage caused by mishandling or accidents. If you notice symptoms such as water leaks, reduced water flow, or a decrease in the effectiveness of the water filter, it may indicate a need to replace the water filter manifold.

Symptoms of a bad water filter manifold include:

• Water leaks or drips from the filter area
• Reduced water flow or weak water pressure
• A decrease in the taste or quality of the filtered water

Restore your refrigerator by replacing the faulty water filter manifold with this genuine OEM part.

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

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.

The Feeler Arm is an OEM component for GE side-by-side refrigerators with an automatic icemaker function. Integrated with the icemaker module, it senses ice level volume for regulating harvest cycles. Consistent ice production relies on a responsive feeler arm mechanism.

Causes of a defective arm involve worn or warped plastic pivot points reducing sensitivity over repeated compression cycles, mineral buildup obscuring responsiveness to ice levels, or damaged wiring inhibiting proper signals to control systems.

Symptoms include:

• Irregular ice production capacity due to improper harvest initiation
• Slowed water/energy efficiency from excessive manufacturing cycles    
• Potential flooding in the bin without drainage

Replacing with this genuine GE feeler arm ensures precise ice level reading and optimized automatic harvesting. Compatible replacements suit Hotpoint, RCA, or Kenmore models seeking uninterrupted whole-home ice provision through resilient component engineering.
