General Electric Refrigerator CFCP1NIYCSS Freezer section too warm

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators, designed to accurately monitor and relay the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments to the electronic control board. By detecting the slightest changes in internal temperature, the sensor allows the control board to make real-time adjustments to the cooling system, activating the compressor and fans as needed to maintain optimal conditions for food preservation.

Over time, the temperature sensor can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or general wear and tear. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to improper temperature regulation, affecting the efficiency of the refrigerator and the freshness of stored food.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Sensor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperature 
• The appliance running continuously or more frequently than normal
• Inaccurate temperature readings displayed  

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

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It circulates air over the evaporator coils, ensuring consistent cooling throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The motor operates 9.75 volts DC. The motor has a 1/8" shaft and a 12" long, 4-wire harness.

You should replace the evaporator fan motor if it becomes faulty due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or physical damage. Over time, the motor bearings can wear out, or the motor itself can fail due to continuous operation.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the freezer area
• Frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator running continuously without reaching the set temperature

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

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This fan motor circulates air in the fridge, helping to cool the compressor and condenser coils for better temperature control. It also evaporates extra water in the drain pan, stopping problems from water buildup.  

Symptoms of a failing condenser fan motor include:

• The refrigerator running hotter than usual
• Loud noise or rattling sounds coming from the back of the refrigerator
• The refrigerator cycling on and off more frequently or for longer periods

Causes of condenser fan motor failure typically include wear and tear from continuous use, dust and debris accumulation obstructing fan movement, or electrical issues such as faulty wiring or capacitor problems.

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

Note: This is a (12-volt DC) fan motor. For the (115-volt AC) fan motor, order part number WR60X10220.

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the defrost system by monitoring the temperature of the evaporator coil and ensuring that it stays within the optimal range to prevent frost buildup.

Over time, the defrost thermostat can fail due to normal wear and tear, electrical issues, or exposure to moisture. If the thermostat is not functioning correctly, it can lead to excessive frost buildup or the refrigerator not defrosting properly.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator or freezer not cooling efficiently
• The defrost heater not activating
• Unusual temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer compartments

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

The Compression Ring is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to secure and seal connections within the refrigerator’s water and ice dispensing system, ensuring a leak-free operation. This small yet vital component helps maintain the integrity of the connections, preventing water leaks and ensuring the proper flow of water through the dispenser and ice maker.

Over time, the compression ring can wear out or become damaged due to regular use and the natural aging of materials. If the compression ring is compromised, it can lead to water leaks or poor water flow, which can affect the overall performance of the refrigerator’s water and ice dispensing functions.

Symptoms of a bad compression ring include:

• Water leaks around the dispenser or ice maker
• Reduced water flow or no water flow at all
• Drips or puddles forming inside the refrigerator

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

The Fan Motor Grommet is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This small but essential component serves as a seal and insulator around the area where the fan motor shaft protrudes from the appliance body.

Causes of needing to replace the fan motor grommet can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture, or physical damage due to impact or improper installation.

Symptoms of a faulty or missing grommet include:

• Air leaks or drafts around the fan motor area
• Condensation buildup or frost formation near the motor shaft
• Increased noise or vibration from the fan motor assembly
• Reduced cooling efficiency due to air leakage

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

The Main Control Board is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This critical component manages and coordinates all of the refrigerator's operations, including temperature regulation, defrost cycles, and the functioning of the compressor and fans. It ensures that the refrigerator maintains the desired temperatures and operates efficiently.

Over time, the main control board can fail due to electrical surges, wear and tear on its electronic components, or exposure to moisture. Manufacturing defects or issues within the refrigerator’s electrical system can also lead to malfunctions, impacting the overall performance of the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad main control board include:

• The refrigerator not cooling or freezing properly
• Unusual or erratic temperature fluctuations
• The refrigerator not responding to control settings
• The compressor or fans not running
• Error codes or lights flashing on the display panel

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

This OEM Replacement Part is a compressor overload that attaches to the GE refrigerator compressors. It acts as a safety switch, shutting off the compressor motor if overheating or excessive current draw is detected. This protects the compressor from damage. Over time, the original overload may malfunction, causing insufficient cooling inside the fridge. Replacing a faulty overload restores proper temperature regulation and food safety. This manufacturer-supplied part meets original specifications and may rattle slightly when shaken, which is normal.
