Parts for Ge FUF21SMRCWW: 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. 

The Drier is an OEM component specifically designed for GE combination refrigerator-freezers. Absorbing moisture, its treated silica particles buffer humidity within refrigerant lines. Proper drying sustains energy-efficient performance while preventing corrosion.

Causes of a faulty drier commonly relate to saturation reducing capacity. As desiccant degrades, water passes into closed system compressors requiring change. 

Symptoms of a bad drier involve:

• Frost and ice buildup impairing cooling  
• Puddling around evaporator evidencing leaks
• Higher operating costs from impaired efficiency

Causes of a bad drier involve typical saturation shortening drying cycles. Cracks release desiccant particles risking blockages necessitating timely replacement.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Frigidaire combination units. Replace to retain steady humidity management protecting components and maximizing freshness years of operation.
 

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. 

The R600 Process Valve with Red Cap is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It regulates the flow of refrigerant within the cooling system, ensuring proper cooling and temperature control.

A bad process valve can occur due to wear and tear, refrigerant leaks, or mechanical failure. If you notice symptoms such as inadequate cooling, excessive frost buildup, or unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, it may indicate a faulty or malfunctioning process valve.

Symptoms of a bad process valve include:

• Inadequate cooling or inconsistent temperature control
• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator

Restore your refrigerator by replacing the faulty process valve with this genuine OEM part.

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