The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the refrigerator's cooling system by providing the necessary start and run voltage to the compressor. Without a properly functioning run capacitor, your refrigerator may struggle to maintain the desired temperature, leading to spoiled food and inefficient energy use.

Causes of a bad run capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating due to a malfunctioning refrigerator compressor or poor ventilation.

Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:

• The refrigerator compressor fails to start.
• Unusual humming noises coming from the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator cycles on and off more frequently than normal.
• A noticeable increase in energy consumption as the refrigerator struggles to maintain the proper temperature.

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

The Overload PTCR Combo is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to protect the compressor from electrical overload, ensuring reliable performance and extending the life of the appliance. This part combines the functions of a positive temperature coefficient resistor (PTCR) and an overload relay.

Causes of a bad overload PTCR combo can include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or internal component failure. A malfunctioning overload PTCR can lead to compressor issues and inefficient cooling.

Symptoms of a bad overload PTCR combo include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or frequently cycling on and off
• Unusual clicking noises from the compressor area
• The refrigerator running continuously without cooling effectively

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

The Valve Water is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. As part of the water supply system, the valve controls the flow of water into the refrigerator.

Causes of a bad valve water are typically wear and tear over time, or a break or blockage developing inside the small valve parts. Not addressed, it can lead to larger plumbing issues.

Symptoms of a bad valve water include:

• No water dispensing or ice making
• Slow or inconsistent water flow from the dispenser
• Water leaks inside around the valve area
• Loud clanking or grinding noises coming from the valve

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

The Main Control Board (Reflashed) is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This board serves as the central hub for managing key refrigerator functions, including temperature regulation, defrost cycles, and operation of fans and compressors. The "reflashed" designation indicates that the board is pre-programmed with the latest firmware specific to your appliance model, ensuring optimal performance.

Over time, control boards can fail due to power surges, electrical component wear, or environmental factors such as moisture. A faulty board can disrupt the refrigerator’s functionality, leading to inefficient cooling and other operational issues.

Symptoms of a bad main control board include:

• Inconsistent or incorrect temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
• Unresponsive controls or display malfunctions
• The refrigerator not cooling, or cycling excessively
• Error codes or unusual noises during operation

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