Parts for Ge FUF21DLRBWW: Machine Compartment Parts

This is a single mounting screw used to secure components and panels on compatible GE appliances. It provides a reliable fastener for replacing lost or damaged screws to restore proper fit and reduce rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or small components to the appliance frame
• Restores proper panel fit and alignment to reduce vibration and noise
• Helps maintain grounding and stable connections where a screw fastens an electrical or chassis part
• Replaces missing or stripped screws that prevent panels or assemblies from seating correctly

• Unplug the appliance or shut off power at the circuit breaker before starting
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid overtightening which can strip threads or crack components
• Replace with the exact part number for best fit and function

The Main Control Board is an OEM component specifically designed for GE refrigerators. As the central command center, the main control board regulates all cooling functions, monitors temperature sensors, and ensures optimal operation. 

Causes of a bad main control board can include wear through years of continual use. Exposure to moisture inside the refrigerator cabinet from occasional spillages may potentially damage electronic circuitry over time as well.

Symptoms of a bad main control board include:

• The refrigerator failing to cool or maintain proper temperatures
• Frost or ice buildup in sections of the interior  
• Inability to engage important features like the ice maker
• Fault codes or error messages displayed

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

This condensate auxiliary drain tray catches and directs refrigerator drain water to the main drain, helping prevent minor leaks and moisture buildup under the unit. It's a small replacement tray used with the appliance's evaporator/condensate system. What it does:

• Collects condensate and channels it to the refrigerator drain system
• Helps reduce water pooling and moisture under the cabinet or inside kickplate areas
• Supports proper evaporator/defrost drainage to avoid misdirected runoff
• Can resolve symptoms like water dripping or minor leakage near the base of the fridge

• One condensate auxiliary drain tray

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal panels
• Remove the appropriate access or kick panel to reach the drain area; retain fasteners for reinstallation
• Seat the tray into the existing mounting location and secure any clips or screws as originally installed
• After installation, restore power and run a short defrost or pour a small amount of water into the evaporator drain to confirm proper flow

The PTC Starter is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. Located behind the rear refrigerator grille, it initiates compressor function through a starting relay to begin cooling cycles. Reliable cooling demands a functional PTC starter.

Symptoms of a faulty starter can include:  

• Refrigerator failing to reach proper cooling temperatures 
• Cyclic or erratic operation of the compressor
• Buzzing or humming sounds coming from behind the grille

Causes involve worn out or damaged bimetal elements preventing overload protection, failed or loose wiring terminals inhibiting electric current, or moisture exposure corroding internal circuitry.

Replacing with this genuine GE starter restores dependable cooling initiation through precisely timed compressor engagement. Compatible replacements for Hotpoint, RCA and select Kenmore fridge brands as well.
 

The Compressor Overload Protector is an OEM component specifically designed for GE refrigerators. It plays an important safety role by protecting the compressor from damage. 

The overload protector works to monitor compressor temperature and electrically disconnect power to the compressor if it exceeds safe operating limits. This prevents overheating that could compromise refrigeration system integrity.

Causes of a bad overload protector include failing sensors, breaking off mounting tabs, or damage from physical impact over time.

Symptoms of a bad overload protector are:

• The refrigerator fails to cool and the compressor does not run  
• Abnormal compressor buzzing or rattling noises occur
• Diagnostic codes or error messages indicate compressor issues

This genuine OEM GE replacement ensures the compressor functions properly without overheating. It also helps extend the lifespan of major components. Compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models as well.
 

The Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for GE freezers. It is an essential electrical component that plays a role in the operation of the compressor, which is responsible for circulating refrigerant and maintaining the desired temperature within the freezer.

Symptoms of a bad Capacitor include:

• Freezer not running or turning on
• Compressor failing to start or running intermittently
• Excessive noise or humming sounds from the compressor area
• Overheating or tripping of circuit breakers

Causes of a bad capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear and tear, or exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture. Over time, the internal components of the capacitor can degrade, leading to failure and disruption of the freezer's cooling cycle.

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