Parts for Hot Point CTF17CBD: Other Parts

The Light Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It controls the interior light, turning it on when the refrigerator door is opened and off when the door is closed. This ensures proper illumination for visibility when accessing the refrigerator's contents.

A malfunctioning light switch can result from wear and tear, electrical issues, or damage caused by repeated use. Over time, the internal mechanism may fail, or the housing can crack, leading to improper operation.

Symptoms of a bad light switch include:

• Interior light not turning on when the door is opened
• Light staying on even when the door is closed
• Flickering or inconsistent light operation
• Difficulty pressing or releasing the switch

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

This evaporator fan blade mounts on the freezer fan motor and circulates air across the evaporator coils. Replacing a cracked or warped blade restores proper airflow for even cooling and more consistent temperatures throughout the refrigerator.

• Moves chilled air from the evaporator through the ducts to both compartments
• Helps maintain uniform temperatures and overall cooling performance
• Common symptoms of a faulty blade: weak airflow, poor cooling or warm spots, rattling/scraping noises from the freezer, longer run times
• Visual signs include a cracked hub, loose fit on the shaft, or broken/missing vanes

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove freezer shelves/ice bin and the rear panel to access the fan assembly
• Pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft; align the hub and press the new blade on until fully seated
• Verify blade orientation and free rotation inside the shroud before reassembly

The Evaporator Fan Blade is an OEM component for GE freezers and bottom-mount refrigerator designs. Located inside the freezer compartment, this fan blade spins to circulate cold air evenly throughout the storage space.

Causes of a faulty evaporator fan blade include natural fatigue from running year-round. Freezers exposed to humid environments may experience faster corrosion.

Symptoms include: 

• Abnormal sounds like knocking or clunking from inside the walls  
• cold spots developing in certain freezer areas
• Higher power bills from inefficient temperature regulation
• Frost or ice patches forming on evaporator coils

This part is also compatible with some brands like Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.

The Icemaker is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to produce ice cubes by automatically filling the ice mold with water, freezing it, and then ejecting the ice into the ice bucket. This part ensures a steady supply of ice for your household needs.

Causes of a bad icemaker can include mechanical wear and tear, electrical failures, or issues with the water supply. Over time, the icemaker’s components can degrade, leading to inconsistent ice production or complete failure.

Symptoms of a bad icemaker include:

• No ice production
• Small, misshapen, or hollow ice cubes
• Ice maker not ejecting ice
• Unusual noises from the ice maker

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