General Electric Refrigerator CTX18EACGRAA Fridge too warm

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This motor is the primary component responsible for drawing cool air through the condenser coils to remove heat generated by the refrigeration system.

Causes of a bad condenser fan motor can include wear and tear over time, dust or debris buildup, electrical issues, or mechanical failure.

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor include:

• Increased temperature and humidity buildup inside the refrigerator
• Difficulty maintaining temperature setpoints
• Accumulation of frost or ice on external components
• Abnormal noise or vibration coming from the motor

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

The Temperature Control Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It functions as the primary sensor and control for regulating the refrigerator and freezer temperatures, ensuring that the appliance maintains optimal cooling conditions. By monitoring the internal temperatures and triggering the cooling system when necessary, this thermostat helps preserve food freshness and consistency.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Control Thermostat include:

• The refrigerator or freezer being too cold or too warm
• Frequent or continuous running of the refrigerator
• Unusual fluctuations in internal temperatures

Causes of a bad thermostat can include electrical issues such as faulty wiring or sensor malfunctions, wear and tear from normal use, or improper settings that prevent the thermostat from accurately gauging and controlling temperature.

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

The Evaporator Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This air circulation is essential for maintaining the set temperature within the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring your food stays fresh and frozen items remain solid.  

Causes of a bad Evaporator Motor can range from wear and tear over time, which can degrade the motor's components, to electrical issues like short circuits or failed bearings, which can impede the motor's ability to function properly.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Evaporator Motor include:

• The refrigerator or freezer not cooling adequately
• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, indicating the motor may be struggling or has failed
• Frost build-up on the evaporator coils due to insufficient air circulation

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

The Fresh Food Door Gasket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This gasket is crucial for creating a tight seal around the edge of the refrigerator door, ensuring that cold air stays inside and warm air stays out. By maintaining an airtight seal, this gasket helps to keep food fresh longer, prevents frost buildup, and enhances the overall energy efficiency of the refrigerator. 

Symptoms of a failing fresh food door gasket include:

• Noticeable gaps between the gasket and the refrigerator frame
• Condensation or frost forming inside the refrigerator
• Increased energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to maintain its internal temperature
• The door not closing properly or feeling loose

Causes of door gasket wear typically include normal aging, exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals, and frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator door, which can stretch and deform the gasket over time.

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

The duct foam assembly insulates and seals the refrigerator's air duct to keep cold air moving efficiently between compartments. Replacing worn or missing foam helps restore airflow control, reduce moisture at the vent, and stabilize temperatures.

• Seals the air duct to prevent warm-air leaks and maintain proper airflow
• Insulates the duct to help keep fresh-food temperatures consistent
• Helps reduce condensation or frost forming around the vent area
• Typical indications include temperature swings, a warm fresh-food section, moisture/frost near the duct, or visibly damaged/missing foam

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove interior shelves/panels as needed to access the air duct; note foam orientation before removal
• Clean the mounting surface; seat new foam fully and evenly to create a complete seal—do not obstruct a damper door or sensor if present
• Restore power and verify airflow and sealing around the vent

The Evaporator Fan Grommet is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component serves as a cushion and stabilizer for the evaporator fan motor, reducing vibrations and noise while ensuring the fan operates smoothly. It helps to secure the fan motor in place, maintaining proper airflow and efficient cooling within the refrigerator.

Common causes of a bad grommet include wear and tear from constant use, damage from excessive vibrations, or degradation of the material over time.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan grommet include:

• Increased noise or rattling sounds coming from the fan area
• Vibrations felt within the refrigerator
• The evaporator fan motor becoming loose or misaligned
• Reduced cooling efficiency due to improper fan operation

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