General Electric Refrigerator ETS22SBSCRSS Fridge 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 Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This motor is vital for the efficient operation of the refrigerator, as it powers the fan that cools the condenser coils and helps to circulate air. Without a properly functioning condenser fan motor, the refrigerator can overheat, leading to poor cooling performance and increased energy consumption.

Symptoms of a failing Condenser Fan Motor include:

• The refrigerator making unusual noises such as humming or buzzing
• The back of the refrigerator feeling hotter than usual
• The refrigerator cycling on and off more frequently
• Food not being kept at the proper temperature

Common causes for a bad condenser fan motor include dust and debris buildup obstructing the motor, age-related wear, and electrical failures such as short circuits or burnt-out capacitors. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prolong the life of the motor, but if these symptoms occur, a replacement may be necessary.

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

Note: This is a 115-volt AC fan motor. For the 12-volt DC fan motor, order part number WR60X10209. Right-hand thread. The compatible fan blade is part number WR60X10207.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part melts away frost that accumulates on the evaporator coils during the cooling cycle. This process is vital for maintaining the efficiency of the refrigerator, ensuring that air can flow freely over the coils to keep the unit cooling effectively. 

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include a faulty heater element, electrical issues preventing the heater from activating, or damage to the heater's wiring.  

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater include:

• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator or freezer section is too warm
• The refrigerator is running constantly without cycling off
• Pools of water or ice on the floor of the freezer compartment

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

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This component is responsible for circulating air over the evaporator coils. The process aids in the efficient cooling of the interior, ensuring that the stored food and beverages are preserved at the desired temperatures.

Causes of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor can include wear from regular use, electrical issues that impede its operation, or frost and ice build-up that obstruct the fan blades. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to inadequate cooling and temperature fluctuations within the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Evaporator Fan Motor are:

• Unusual noises indicating the fan is not operating smoothly
• The refrigerator or freezer section is warmer than usual
• Frost build-up in the freezer due to poor air circulation
• The motor not running when activated

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

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a critical role in the refrigerator's defrost system, preventing frost build-up on the evaporator coils by turning the defrost heater on and off at appropriate times. This component is designed to sense the temperature of the evaporator coils and activate the defrost heater when the coils get too cold, ensuring efficient operation and optimal cooling performance.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Thermostat include:

• Excessive frost or ice accumulation in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer section becoming too warm
• The defrost heater not activating, leading to reduced efficiency

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include damage from moisture or ice, electrical failures within the thermostat, or simply wear and tear from regular use.

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 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 Evaporator Motor Fan Blade is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component is crucial for circulating air over the evaporator coils, which helps to maintain the correct temperature within the refrigerator and freezer compartments. By moving air efficiently, it ensures that the appliance cools evenly and prevents frost buildup.

Over time, the evaporator motor fan blade can become damaged or wear out due to regular use, ice accumulation, or accidental impact from other items within the refrigerator. These issues can hinder its ability to circulate air effectively.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator motor fan blade include:

• Unusual noises like clicking or scraping from the fan area
• Inconsistent temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
• The refrigerator running more frequently or continuously
• Visible damage or warping of the fan blade

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

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.
