General Electric Refrigerator CSX20BABEAD Ice maker not making ice

The Defrost Heater Kit is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to prevent frost and ice buildup within the freezer compartment by heating up at regular intervals to melt away any accumulated frost. For 12-inch glass tube heater use WR51X10055.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater Kit include:

• Buildup of frost or ice on the freezer walls or around the evaporator coils.
• The refrigerator or freezer section becoming too warm due to blocked air vents by ice.
• Frequent cycling or longer running times of the refrigerator compressor.

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include failure of the heating element due to wear or a burnt-out component, malfunctioning sensors that regulate the defrost cycle, or electrical issues preventing the heater from activating.

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

The Ice Maker Fill Tube Grommet is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This grommet creates a seal between the ice maker fill tube and the refrigerator, preventing leaks and ensuring that water is properly directed into the ice maker during the filling process.

Causes of a bad grommet can include regular wear and tear, damage from exposure to freezing and thawing cycles, or degradation from exposure to water and moisture.  

Symptoms of a bad ice maker fill tube grommet include:

• Water leaks around the ice maker fill tube area
• Ice maker not producing ice properly
• Visible cracks or deformation in the grommet
• Water pooling inside or around the refrigerator

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