General Electric Refrigerator CTF14AJDR Fridge too warm

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.

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to circulate air through the condenser coils, helping to dissipate heat and keep the refrigerator's internal components cool. This ensures efficient operation and prevents the compressor from overheating, which is essential for maintaining the refrigerator's performance and longevity.

You should replace the condenser fan motor if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad fan motor can include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or blockages that cause the motor to overheat or burn out. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to inadequate cooling, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to other refrigerator components.

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor running hot or cycling on and off frequently
• The condenser coils feeling excessively hot

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