The Gear Pinion is an OEM component specifically designed for GE French door refrigerators. This part is responsible for the smooth operation of door hinges and closing mechanisms.
The gear pinion works together with other inner door components to evenly distribute strength across the refrigerator’s motion system. This ensures doors move fluidly and stay securely sealed when closed.
Causes of a bad gear pinion can include wear from repetitive use over many years, stress from overloading the doors, or misalignment of connecting mechanisms.
Symptoms of a bad gear pinion include:
- Doors not closing or latching properly
- Binding or sticking movement
- Noise or vibration when opening/closing
- Increased effort required to operate doors
Note: Right-hand side
Replace this precision gear with a genuine GE OEM part to restore dependable door functionality. This product is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore refrigerator models.
