This PTC start relay mounts on the refrigerator compressor and briefly energizes the start winding, then automatically opens as it warms. Replacing a weak relay helps restore reliable compressor starts and consistent cooling. What it does:

• Provides momentary power to the compressor's start winding at startup; the PTC element opens as it heats
• Helps ensure smooth compressor starts and reduces repeated start attempts
• Signs of a failed start device can include no cooling because the compressor won't run
• Clicking or buzzing from the compressor area every few minutes
• Compressor starts intermittently or stops shortly after starting

• Includes: 1 PTC start relay

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator forward to access the rear service area
• Remove the rear panel to reach the compressor compartment
• Unplug the wire harness and pull the old relay straight off the compressor terminals; note its orientation
• Push the new relay fully onto the compressor prongs, reconnect the harness, reinstall the panel, and restore power

The Gasket for the freezer is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It creates a seal around the freezer door, preventing warm air from entering and cold air from escaping. This seal is crucial for maintaining the correct internal temperature, ensuring the freezer operates efficiently and food stays properly frozen. The gasket measures 19 1/2 inches wide by 28 inches tall.

Causes of a bad gasket can include wear and tear over time, exposure to extreme temperatures, or damage from frequent opening and closing of the freezer door. Accumulated dirt and grime can also affect the gasket's sealing ability.

Symptoms of a bad gasket include:

• Frost buildup inside the freezer
• The freezer running more frequently or continuously
• Higher than normal energy bills
• Warm spots inside the freezer
• The door not closing properly or a visible gap between the door and the frame

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

This refrigerator water line is the plastic tubing that routes pressurized water through the appliance's water system. Replacing a cracked, brittle, or kinked line helps restore proper water flow and prevents leaks inside or around the unit.

• Note the original routing and clip locations; avoid sharp bends and kinks during installation
• Fully seat tubing into existing connectors/fittings on your model
• Turn water back on, check all connections for leaks, and purge air by dispensing water

This defrost heater kit warms the evaporator during the automatic defrost cycle to melt frost and keep air moving. Replace it when ice builds up on the freezer coils and temperatures rise or airflow is restricted.

• Heats the evaporator coil during defrost to clear accumulated frost/ice
• Helps maintain proper airflow and stable temperatures in both compartments
• Symptoms can include heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator cover, reduced cooling, or fan noise from ice contact
• A failed heater can leave the defrost system unable to clear ice, restricting airflow

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel; safely remove heavy ice before replacement
• Move wires and clips one at a time, routing exactly like the original to avoid pinched or exposed conductors
• After replacement, monitor defrost operation; icing persists, also check the defrost thermostat and control

This power cord assembly supplies electrical power from the wall outlet to your refrigerator. Replace a cut, frayed, or overheated cord to restore safe, reliable operation and eliminate intermittent power loss caused by a damaged cord. What it does:

• Provides the electrical connection between the household outlet and the refrigerator's wiring
• Helps resolve no-power or intermittent power when the cord is moved
• Addresses visible damage such as cuts, cracks, fraying, or a melted/discolored plug
• Mitigates arcing, sparking, or a burning odor originating from the cord or plug area

• One power cord assembly

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Pull the refrigerator forward for access; note the original cord routing and connections
• Install the new cord along the same path and secure any built-in strain relief; ensure the ground connection is properly seated
• Restore power and verify operation

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

This clamp secures small hoses or tubing and nearby wiring inside the appliance to keep lines held in place and reduce rubbing, leaks, or vibration noise. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore proper hose routing and stability. What it does:

• Holds water, drain or vent tubing securely to prevent sagging and rubbing that can cause leaks or wear
• Keeps hoses and wires aligned to reduce vibration and rattling during operation
• Helps maintain proper connections at fittings so seals stay seated and drip risk is minimized
• Simple mechanical clip action — no special tools or adhesives required

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair
• Remove the old clamp and install this clamp in the same orientation; tubing sits fully in the fitting
• Use standard pliers (or the OEM-recommended tool) to compress/seat the clamp; avoid twisting or pinching the tubing
• Inspect surrounding tubing and fittings for wear; replace damaged hoses or seals if found

This vinyl sleeve fits over a rod, tube, or wire in the refrigerator to protect and cushion contact points. It reduces wear and vibration and helps keep components aligned for smooth, reliable operation.

• Provides a protective barrier at contact points to prevent abrasion or marring
• Helps maintain spacing and alignment for a snug, proper fit
• Cushions to damp vibration and reduce rattles or squeaks
• Replace if the sleeve is missing, cracked, hardened, or if components feel loose or make noise
