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.

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.
