This mullion heater warms the vertical door mullion to reduce condensation and ice buildup between refrigerator doors, helping doors seal properly and reducing moisture-related odors. It's a direct-replacement heater for affected mullion assemblies. What it does

• Provides focused heat to the fridge/freezer mullion area to help prevent frost and ice buildup.
• Reduces condensation that can cause water drips or sticky door seals.
• Helps maintain a consistent door seal by preventing cold spots that let moisture accumulate.
• Common symptom: visible frost or ice between doors, water pooling, or poor door sealing.

• One mullion heater (heater strip/assembly) as described.

• Power should be disconnected before servicing electrical components.
• Typically installed behind the mullion or door trim; access may require removing trim panels.
• Handle wiring carefully and follow OEM wiring and routing; replace any damaged connectors or clips.

This vegetable pan cover frame is the replacement trim that supports and seals the refrigerator crisper/vegetable drawer, restoring proper fit and helping maintain cooler, more consistent humidity for stored produce. Easy replacement when the existing frame is cracked or warped. What it does:

• Replaces damaged or warped crisper/vegetable pan trim to restore proper drawer alignment
• Helps maintain a better seal around the vegetable pan to preserve produce freshness
• Prevents rattling or catching from a loose or broken cover frame
• Matches OEM fit and mounting locations for straightforward part swap

This ice bin stores and dispenses ice produced by the refrigerator's icemaker, keeping cubes contained and accessible. Replaces a damaged, cracked or warped bin to restore tidy ice collection and smooth dispensing. What it does:

• Holds ice made by the icemaker so cubes don't scatter through the freezer compartment
• Guides ice toward the dispenser or the access area for easier removal
• Prevents ice from jamming the dispenser when the bin is intact and seated properly
• Helps contain melting runoff to reduce mess inside the freezer

• One replacement ice bin

• Remove all ice before attempting installation to avoid spills
• Disconnect power or unplug the refrigerator before removing the old bin
• Slide the bin into position on its tracks until it seats firmly; avoid forcing to prevent breakage
• Handle with care to avoid cracking the plastic; dispose of the old bin according to local regulations

This condenser fan motor powers the refrigerator condenser fan to help move air across the condenser coils for proper cooling and efficient compressor operation. It replaces a failed fan motor so the condenser fan can run normally. What it does:

• Spins the condenser fan blade to pull or push air across condenser coils for heat dissipation.
• Restores proper airflow when the fan motor has seized, hums, or won't start.
• Helps reduce compressor cycling caused by poor condenser airflow.
• Works with the existing fan blade and mounting hardware when the motor is the only failed component.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Handle with care to avoid bending condenser fins or damaging wiring.

This articulating mullion with built-in heater is the vertical door trim assembly that seals and insulates the gap between double doors, helping prevent frost and condensation. It restores proper door alignment and improves cold-air sealing. What it does:

• Provides a hinged vertical seal between freezer/refrigerator doors to help doors close smoothly and stay aligned
• Built-in heater reduces ice build-up and condensation along the door gap
• Helps maintain proper cold-air containment for consistent interior temperature
• Commonly replaces parts causing visible frost, moisture between doors, or binding/uneven door closure

• One articulating mullion assembly with heater

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning repair
• Handle trim and heater wiring gently; ensure electrical connectors are fully seated and routed clear of moving parts
• After installation, restore power and verify doors close evenly and heater operates (check for heat at mullion after a short run)

The Defrost Thermistor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It monitors temperature to control defrost cycles and prevent frost buildup. Common causes of failure in this thermistor include wear and tear over time, electrical issues, or damage from moisture exposure.

Symptoms of a failing defrost thermistor include:

• Irregular cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments
• Excessive ice buildup in the freezer
• Inconsistent or improper defrosting cycles

Replacing the thermistor restores proper temperature and defrost function. This GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
