Parts for Ge GTE21GTHCCC: Machine Compartment Parts

The Condenser Fan Blade is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part helps to cool the condenser coils by circulating air over them, which is crucial for maintaining the refrigerator's proper temperature and efficient operation.

Common causes of a bad condenser fan blade include physical damage from debris or impacts, wear and tear over time, or warping due to high temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad Condenser Fan Blade include:

• The refrigerator running hotter than usual
• The fan making unusual noises or vibrations
• The fan not spinning or spinning erratically
• Reduced cooling efficiency

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

This condenser support is the replacement mounting bracket that secures the refrigerator condenser and helps keep the cooling coils stable for reliable performance. It restores proper condenser alignment to reduce vibration and noise. What it does:

• Holds and stabilizes the condenser assembly so coils remain properly positioned
• Prevents condenser movement that can cause rattling, vibration, or rubbing noises
• Helps maintain airflow around the condenser for consistent heat dissipation
• Provides a secure mounting point after damage, corrosion, or broken factory supports

• One condenser support bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Access may require removing rear or lower panels; keep fasteners organized
• Use proper hand tools and avoid contact with sharp sheet metal or hot components

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.
 

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

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 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

This condenser fan and housing assembly moves air across the condenser coils and around the compressor to expel heat from your refrigerator. Replacing a failed assembly restores stable cooling performance and helps prevent overheating and excessive noise.

• Moves air over the condenser coils and compressor to remove heat
• Supports proper cabinet temperatures and overall efficiency
• Helps protect the compressor from overheating
• Typical symptoms: fan not running, loud noise from rear bottom, weak cooling, or long run times

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator away from the wall
• Remove the rear lower access panel to reach the condenser compartment
• Note wire routing and airflow direction; transfer any reusable mounting hardware; secure the new assembly
• Briefly restore power to confirm fan operation, then reinstall the back panel and return the unit to position
