Features and Benefits:

• Easy DIY replacement, typically mounted inside the refrigerator at the back of the compartment.
• Removes or reduces various contaminants in your water and ice, including lead, cysts, asbestos, atrazine, , taste and odor, chlorine, sediment, turbidity, and more
• NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 standards
• 6 Month lifespan filter
• Carbon Block media
• Micron rating: 0.5-1 micron (Class I)

When to replace your filter:

• Bad taste or odor in water and ice
• Cloudy or discolored ice
• Reduced water flow or pressure
• Refrigerator replace filter indicator light is on

Note: If replacing the Culligan metal canister design filter for the first time, a special adapter, part number AP2615702 is needed, which is not included with this part. The compatible bypass cap is part number AP6891551.

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

The water filter head assembly holds the water filter and connects the water lines to the filter. The assembly includes the bypass plug. Approximate dimensions: 18.2" x 16.5" x 5.1"

The Relay Protector is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. The relay protector monitors voltage input for irregular surges or drops that could harm electronic control boards over time. Upon detection, it immediately redirects excess voltage away from relays to safeguard sensitive circuits.

Causes can be damage from sustained power fluctuations over years of use. Failure allows increased risk of voltage abnormalities affecting parts.

Symptoms of a faulty relay protector include:

• Refrigerator cycles unexpectedly turning off
• Inoperative zones within, like water/ice dispensers
• Frequent component burnouts requiring replacements
• Buzzing noises from the electrical outlet area

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

This heat exchanger assembly circulates refrigerant through the evaporator coil to remove heat from the fresh-food/freezer compartments, restoring proper cooling and consistent temperature control. What it does:

• Transfers heat away from the cabinet so the refrigerator can maintain cold temperatures
• Supports ice production and freezer performance by allowing the evaporator to cool properly
• Common symptom: warm or inconsistent compartment temperatures
• Common symptom: frost or ice buildup on the evaporator or uneven cooling

• One heat exchanger assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the coil carefully to avoid bending fins or damaging tubing; follow OEM service instructions
• After installation, verify proper airflow and temperature performance per manufacturer guidelines

Condenser fan assembly moves air across the condenser to help dissipate heat so the refrigerator cools efficiently. Replacing a failing condenser fan can reduce noise and prevent the compressor from working overtime. What it does:

• Circulates air over condenser coils to remove heat produced during cooling
• Helps maintain proper compressor operating temperature and system efficiency
• Stops or reduces loud buzzing, grinding, or rattling noises when the fan motor fails
• Addresses symptoms like frequent compressor cycling, poor cooling, or warm interior

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the condenser area
• Access is typically at the rear lower panel; remove panels carefully to reach the assembly
• Note fan blade orientation and wiring before removing; reconnect wires to the same terminals

The R134 Drier is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component plays a critical role in the refrigeration system by removing moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, ensuring efficient cooling and preventing damage to other parts of the system. It helps maintain the purity and effectiveness of the refrigerant as it cycles through the system.

You should replace the R134 drier if it becomes clogged or damaged. Common causes of a bad drier include wear and tear over time, exposure to moisture, or contamination from other failing components in the refrigeration system.

Symptoms of a bad R134 drier include:

• Reduced cooling efficiency
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Unusual noises from the refrigeration system
• Increased energy consumption
• Refrigerator not maintaining the set temperature

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

This coil filter-reactor is an electrical noise suppressor that helps reduce electromagnetic interference to the appliance control electronics, improving stability and protecting sensitive circuits from stray noise. What it does

• Filters and suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI) on power lines feeding the control system
• Helps prevent noise-related control errors, false signals, or intermittent operation
• Protects electronic components by reducing voltage spikes and transient noise
• Common symptom linkage: intermittent controls, unexpected resets, or weird electronic behavior that can be caused by electrical noise

• One coil filter-reactor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the part carefully and observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions for electronic components
• Install in the original mounting location and orientation; secure all connectors and fasteners

This bracket access cover protects and conceals a mounting bracket and nearby components on the appliance, helping keep wiring and connectors free from dust and damage while restoring a finished appearance. What it does:

• Covers and protects a mounting bracket and adjacent wiring or components
• Helps prevent debris and moisture from contacting internal connections
• Restores the appliance's finished appearance after repairs or disassembly
• Maintains part alignment and keeps fastener locations accessible for service

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or shut off circuit) before servicing.
• Remove any panels or fasteners blocking access; reinstall fasteners securely.
• Handle plastic tabs carefully to avoid breaking mounting clips during install.

A replacement compressor mounting bolt that secures the refrigerator compressor to the chassis to help keep the compressor stable and reduce vibration. Direct-fit hardware to restore proper compressor attachment and quiet operation. What it does:

• Fastens the compressor to the refrigerator frame or mounting bracket for secure operation
• Keeps the compressor aligned to prevent movement and reduce vibration-related noise
• Helps maintain a stable seal for connected refrigerant lines by preventing compressor shifting
• Appropriate when original bolt is stripped, corroded, or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Support the compressor or mounting bracket while removing/installing the bolt to prevent strain on lines
• Use correct socket/wrench size and replace with identical hardware; do not overtighten
• Address those issues before reuse

A self-tapping screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a threaded hole is formed as the screw is driven. Provides a secure hold for trim, brackets, and light assemblies during repairs. What it does:

• Cuts its own mating thread in sheet metal or thin plastic to secure panels and brackets
• Helps hold trim, access panels, or internal components in place
• Commonly used where a tapped hole is not present or repair requires a replacement fastener
• Can prevent loose parts and rattles caused by missing or damaged screws

• Unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical or mechanical hazards
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the screw head
• Start the screw straight and apply steady pressure; do not overtighten to avoid cracking plastic or stripping metal
• Replace only with the exact part number to ensure proper fit and function

This cover relay is a small protective housing that fits over the refrigerator compressor relay. It helps shield the relay from dirt, moisture and accidental contact to protect electrical connections and improve component longevity. What it does:

• Covers and protects the compressor start relay from debris and moisture
• Helps prevent accidental contact with relay terminals
• Maintains proper relay positioning on the compressor
• Commonly replaced when the original cover is cracked, melted or missing

• One cover relay

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Handle compressor and relay components carefully to avoid damage
