Parts for Ge AZ45E09EACW2: Sealed System Parts

This ground harness is a replacement wire assembly that restores a secure chassis ground connection, helping prevent electrical faults and ensuring safe operation of the appliance. Fits where a factory ground lead is damaged or missing. What it does:

• Provides a dedicated grounding path between the appliance chassis and ground point to reduce risk of shorts and electrical shock.
• Restores continuity when the original ground lead is corroded, cut, or has a loose terminal.
• Helps stop intermittent power issues or tripped breakers caused by poor grounding.
• Prevents arcing and overheating at compromised ground connections.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting work.
• Verify the harness routing and terminal locations match the appliance before fastening.
• Use proper-size terminals and secure all connections to clean, bare metal grounding points.
• Replace damaged or missing mounting hardware or terminals with OEM-specified parts.

A rubber compressor grommet that cushions the compressor and helps reduce vibration and noise for more stable, quieter operation. Fits over compressor mount studs to isolate the compressor from the cabinet frame. What it does:

• Absorbs and isolates compressor vibration to reduce rattling and noise
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact between compressor and mounting plate
• Helps protect mounting hardware and compressor casing from wear
• Commonly used when noise, vibration, or movement is noticed around the compressor area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock hazard
• Access the compressor from the rear panel; support the compressor when removing mounts
• Replace any additional worn grommets or mounting hardware for best results

This compressor overload is a thermal start device that helps protect the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical damage. It ensures the compressor can safely restart after a temporary overload. What it does:

• Interrupts compressor current when the motor overheats to prevent damage
• Allows the compressor to restart once it cools, helping restore normal cooling
• Commonly used when the compressor hums but won't start or the fridge loses cooling
• Protects against short-term electrical faults and excessive motor temperature

• One compressor overload (start device), ready to install

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Replace with the exact OEM part and match terminal connections and mounting
• Handle terminals carefully; avoid bending or stressing wires

This plug base pan is the metal mounting pan that secures the appliance's power plug/terminal assembly and helps protect wiring from heat and debris. It restores a stable mounting surface for the power connection. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting surface for the power plug/terminal assembly
• Helps protect wiring and connections from heat, grease, and debris
• Prevents the power plug from shifting or rubbing against other components
• Worn or damaged pans can expose wiring or cause poor electrical seating

• One plug base pan

• Disconnect all power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before beginning work
• Access typically requires removing the appliance back panel or console; keep track of fasteners
• Inspect wiring and terminal hardware while replacing the pan; replace any damaged connectors

This thermistor holder secures the refrigerator temperature sensor in the correct position so the control board reads accurate air/evaporator temperatures for consistent cooling performance. What it does:

• Holds the temperature sensor/thermistor in place near the evaporator or air duct so the control can monitor temperature.
• Helps ensure accurate temperature readings to prevent overcooling or insufficient cooling.
• Stabilizes sensor location to reduce intermittent or false temperature signals.
• Commonly associated with symptoms like erratic temperature display, long run cycles, or uneven cooling when the sensor is loose or damaged.

• One thermistor holder/mounting bracket.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock.
• Handle the thermistor/sensor carefully; do not pull on wires or bend the sensing element.
• Ensure the sensor is fully seated in the holder and that the holder is secured in its mounting location.
