Parts for Ge AZ41E09EABW5: Sealed System Parts

A rubber compressor cushion that isolates the compressor from the refrigerator chassis to reduce vibration and prevent metal-on-metal contact. Replaces worn or missing cushions to help minimize noise and vibration transfer. What it does:

• Cushions the compressor to dampen vibration and reduce rattling or buzzing noises.
• Keeps the compressor from directly contacting the cabinet, preventing wear and chafing.
• Helps maintain proper compressor positioning and reduces stress on mounting components.
• Common symptom: increased compressor noise or vibration, or visible worn/deteriorated cushion.

• One compressor cushion (rubber mount).

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Support the compressor or secure the unit when removing/replacing mounts to avoid strain.
• Remove the old cushion and press the new cushion into place; no refrigerant handling required.
• Use basic hand tools and wear gloves.

This capillary tube is the slim refrigerant restriction used in sealed cooling systems to control refrigerant flow into the evaporator. It helps maintain proper cooling performance by metering refrigerant between system components. What it does:

• Restricts and meters refrigerant flow as part of the appliance's sealed refrigeration circuit
• Helps regulate evaporator pressure for consistent cooling performance
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as reduced cooling, uneven temperatures, or icing issues when damaged or clogged
• Functions as a passive component—no electrical connections

• Intended for use in sealed refrigeration systems; replacement typically requires recovering refrigerant per EPA regulations
• Installation may require service tools (flare/braze fittings) and knowledge of refrigeration systems
• Inspect associated fittings and seals during replacement and pressure-test the system before recharging
• Handle carefully to avoid kinks or crush damage that will impair function

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that helps the control board monitor and regulate cooling for consistent food temperatures. It replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature readings and stable cooling cycles. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and sends a signal to the control board for proper compressor and damper control
• Helps the refrigerator maintain set temperatures and prevents overcooling or warming
• Can cause temperature fluctuations, long run times, or incorrect defrost cycles when failing
• Works with the control system to enable accurate temperature-based operations

• One thermistor temperature sensor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Handle sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on wires or bending the probe sharply
• Install in the same location and orientation as the original sensor for correct readings
