Parts for HCW225LAES: Range Parts

This main control board manages a refrigerator's electronic functions so the unit responds to user inputs and runs cooling cycles reliably. Replacing a faulty board restores control of temperature, fans and timed cycles in compatible units. What it does:

• Sends signals to the compressor, fans and defrost system to maintain proper cooling cycles
• Interprets user inputs and display commands so the control panel responds correctly
• Triggers defrost timing and related heater/fan actions when required
• Can correct symptoms like unresponsive controls, incorrect temperatures, or intermittent cooling when board failure is the cause

• One main control (electronic) board

• Disconnect power before starting — this part is electrically live and static-sensitive
• Handle by the edges, avoid touching circuit traces; use anti-static precautions if available
• Installation typically requires removing the control housing and connector plugs; match connectors exactly before securing
• Test operation after installation and restore all panels and covers.

This convection heating element replaces the oven's convection heat source to restore even, high-temperature cooking and browning. Designed for compatible GE convection ranges, it delivers reliable radiant heat for roasting and baking. What it does:

• Heats the oven cavity during convection mode to help circulate hot air for even cooking and browning.
• Commonly used when the oven won't reach set temperatures or convection baking is uneven.
• Replaces a damaged, burned-out, or visibly broken convection element to restore proper heating.
• Works with the oven's fan and controls to maintain consistent cooking performance.

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before beginning any work.
• Handle the element carefully; wear gloves to protect from sharp edges and oils from hands.
• Typically installs from the rear or interior of the oven and secures with mounting screws and wire terminals—retain fasteners and route wires as removed.

This guard rail nut secures the oven/cooktop guard rail or trim to the appliance, restoring a solid connection and helping stop wobble or rattling. It's a small replacement nut used where the rail bolts to the frame. What it does:

• Fastens and locks the guard rail or trim to the appliance frame
• Restores proper alignment and prevents rail movement or vibration
• Helps eliminate rattling, looseness, or gaps at the rail connection
• Works with the original rail bolt or stud to maintain a secure fit

• One guard rail nut

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair and allow surfaces to cool
• Use the correct driver or socket size and tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing
• Keep hands and clothing clear of sharp edges around the rail/trim
• If other rail hardware is damaged or corroded, replace matching components for a reliable repair

This lower door hinge secures and guides the appliance door at the bottom to restore correct alignment and smooth opening/closing. Replaces a worn or bent hinge to help stop door sag, uneven gaps, or binding. What it does:

• Supports the bottom of the door and provides the pivot point for opening and closing
• Restores proper door alignment to improve sealing and even gaps
• Reduces door sag, rubbing, or catching when the hinge is worn or damaged
• Helps eliminate unusual noises or binding during door operation

• One lower door hinge

• Inspect mounting screws and strike on installation; replace any damaged hardware
• Power off and follow manufacturer's safety instructions before starting repair
• Loosely fasten hinge, check door alignment, then tighten to manufacturer torque specs

This wire oven rack restores stable, even support for cookware so pans slide in and out smoothly and cook more evenly. It replaces a missing, bent or warped shelf to help restore full oven storage and use. What it does:

• Provides a sturdy, heat-resistant surface for baking pans, sheets and cookware
• Replaces bent, warped or missing racks that cause uneven cooking or items to tilt
• Restores proper clearance and sliding action on oven rack guides
• Fits into standard oven rack positions to support racks at different cooking heights

• One oven rack (single wire shelf)

• Allow the oven to be completely cool and power disconnected before handling
• Slide the rack into the desired oven guides; ensure full engagement on both sides
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish
• Inspect rack stops and oven rails for damage before reinstalling

This is a replacement electrical plug/connector used to join wiring harnesses and components in compatible GE appliances, restoring a safe, secure electrical connection for proper operation. What it does:

• Provides a secure electrical connection between wiring harnesses and appliance components
• Maintains circuit continuity to allow the attached component to receive power or signals
• A worn or loose plug can cause intermittent operation, failure of the component to run, or visible arcing
• Replacing a damaged plug helps prevent poor contacts and reduces risk of overheating at the connection

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the plug to avoid shock
• Verify correct orientation and fully seat the plug until it clicks or is secure; loose connections can cause issues
• Inspect mating terminals and wiring for damage; replace the harness or terminals if corroded or burnt

This outer door assembly replaces a damaged or dented refrigerator door to restore the appliance's exterior appearance and proper sealing. It fits into the existing hinge and trim locations for a factory-style finish. What it does:

• Provides the refrigerator's external door shell, mounting points and trim for the fresh food section
• Restores proper door alignment and exterior appearance after dents, cracks or impact damage
• Helps the door seal correctly when installed, reducing warm air intrusion and potential cooling issues
• Replaces corroded or damaged door surfaces that can't be repaired cosmetically

• Disconnect power and empty the door shelves before beginning; have a helper—door assemblies are heavy and awkward
• Support the door and remove hinge fasteners to avoid strain on hinges and cam assemblies
• Check and reuse or replace door gasket, hinge pins and mounting hardware as needed
• If you're not comfortable with door alignment or hinge torque settings, consider installation

A left-side guide rail assembly that supports and guides oven racks and the oven door glide for smooth, stable operation. Replacing a worn or bent guide rail restores proper rack movement and helps keep the oven door aligned. What it does:

• Provides a stable track for oven racks or the door glide to slide smoothly in and out
• Maintains proper alignment and prevents binding or uneven rack travel
• Helps reduce rattling, sticking, or grinding when moving racks or opening the door
• Durable metal construction designed to resist bending under normal use

• One left-side guide rail assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Allow the oven to cool completely before accessing internal parts; wear gloves to protect against sharp edges
