General Electric Refrigerator BCS42EKB Leaking

The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is an important supply line that delivers water from the main water source to the icemaker component. The water line allows water to flow smoothly, facilitating the icemaking process.  

Causes of a bad water line can include cracks or punctures from impact or bending, mineral deposits and corrosion building up inside the line restricting flow, or improper connection fittings causing leakage.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Irregular or insufficient ice production  
• No water delivery to the icemaker despite activation
• Noticeable leaks or drips near the water line attachment points
• Strange knocking or hammering sounds are heard when the icemaker is running

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

The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part manages the defrost cycle of the fridge and freezer compartments, ensuring that the evaporator coils do not build up excessive frost. 

This cycling is crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures for food preservation and energy efficiency. Over time, the defrost timer can malfunction due to wear, electrical issues, or a buildup of dust and debris, leading to poor performance or failure.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer is not maintaining the set temperature
• The fridge or freezer sections are too warm
• The defrost cycle does not activate, leading to reduced cooling efficiency

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
