Parts for Ge ZIF181NPPBII: Machine Compartment Parts

This SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) controls high-current switching in the appliance's power circuit to enable reliable on/off control of heating or motor circuits. Designed for direct replacement of the original SCR component. What it does:

• Acts as a solid-state switch to control power to heating elements or motors when triggered by the appliance control board.
• Helps regulate current during start-up and run cycles to maintain proper operation of the appliance.
• Failures can cause symptoms such as no heat, intermittent operation, or the appliance not powering its load.
• Matches the OEM mounting and stud terminal configuration for proper electrical connection.

• One SCR component (8-32 stud) as pictured.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage.
• Use proper tools for the 8-32 stud terminals and ensure secure electrical and heatsink connections.
• Inspect mounting surfaces and replace any damaged hardware or thermal pads as needed for safe operation.

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.
