Parts for Ge GPS12FGHBSB: Machine Compartment Parts

This genuine replacement screw secures components and trim on compatible appliances, restoring proper fit and preventing loose parts. Use it to replace a lost or stripped fastener and keep panels and assemblies stable. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets or internal components to the appliance chassis
• Restores secure attachment where a damaged or missing screw causes rattling or loose parts
• Helps maintain proper alignment of doors, panels or control assemblies
• Small, corrosion-resistant design for reliable long-term fastening

• Use the matching driver bit to avoid stripping the head; hand-start threads before using a driver
• Do not overtighten—stop when the part is snug and secure to avoid cracking panels or stripping threads
• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific safety steps before accessing internal components
• If original hardware shows corrosion or thread damage, replace with the correct OEM fastener only

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. 

This compressor mounting plate secures the refrigerator compressor to the cabinet, restoring stable support and reducing vibration. Designed to replace a damaged or missing plate for reliable compressor alignment and quieter operation. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting surface to keep the compressor firmly secured
• Helps reduce vibration and noise caused by a loose or broken mount
• Maintains correct compressor alignment for dependable system performance
• Replaces worn, bent, or cracked mounting hardware that can cause strain

• One compressor mounting plate

• Disconnect power and unplug appliance before starting any repair
• Support the compressor weight before removing existing mounting hardware
• Use appropriate hand tools and torque fasteners to OEM specifications when re-installing

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure components and trim on compatible GE appliances. Installing the correct screw restores secure fits and prevents rattling or loose parts for reliable operation. What it does

• Secures panels, brackets, trim pieces or components in place
• Prevents vibration-related noise by keeping parts tight
• Restores proper alignment where a lost or damaged screw caused looseness
• Matches OEM fastening point to maintain fit and function

• One mounting screw as shown

• Use the matching driver and size to avoid stripping the head or threads
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can damage parts or plastic mounts
• Disconnect power or follow appliance-specific safety steps when accessing internal areas

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

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.
 

This thermal protector is a safety cutoff device that helps stop overheating in the appliance's electrical components, protecting motors and circuits from heat damage and preventing further failures. What it does:

• Opens the circuit when internal temperature exceeds safe limits to stop heat-related damage
• Helps a motor or control circuit recover only after temperatures fall to a safe level
• Common symptom indicators: motor runs briefly then stops, intermittent operation, or a component that won't start
• Passive safety device — it does not restore continuously if repeated overheating occurs

• One thermal protector

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the protector
• Locate and access the protector according to your appliance's service manual; avoid pulling or stressing attached wires
• Replace only with the exact OEM part number to ensure proper fit and safety characteristics
• If overheating caused other damage (wiring, motor, control), inspect and repair those issues before returning the appliance to service
