This defrost thermostat helps control the refrigerator/freezer defrost cycle by sensing evaporator temperature and allowing the heater to run when frost removal is needed. Replaces a failed thermostat to restore normal defrost operation. What it does:

• Closes when the evaporator is cold so the defrost heater can run, then opens when the coil warms to stop defrosting
• Helps prevent excessive frost and ice buildup on the evaporator coil
• Common symptom: visible frost or ice on evaporator, excessive frost buildup, or defrost heater running constantly/ not at all
• Works with the defrost system to maintain efficient cooling performance

• One defrost thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Mount on or near the evaporator coil as originally installed; secure wiring away from moving parts
• Inspect the harness and connector for damage; replace if corroded or brittle
• Test for continuity with a multimeter to confirm thermostat function before and after installation

This fixture heater is the heater assembly used to warm a targeted appliance component so the unit operates correctly and resists ice buildup. It restores heat where a small, localized heater is required. What it does

• Provides localized heat to a fixture or component to prevent freezing and help normal operation.
• Warms internal surfaces that can collect frost or condensation, reducing ice buildup.
• Restores heat when a failed heater causes intermittent or no warming at the fixture.
• Helps eliminate symptoms such as frost accumulation, poor component function, or temperature-related faults.

• One fixture heater assembly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle terminals and wiring carefully; match wire connections and secure all fasteners.
• Use basic hand tools; for correct routing and placement.

This Defrost Timer cycles the unit between cooling and automatic defrost. Replace it if your appliance won't defrost or stays stuck in defrost, causing frost buildup, warm temperatures, or intermittent/no cooling.

• Controls automatic defrost intervals by switching from cooling to defrost and back
• Supplies power to the defrost circuit/heater during the defrost portion of the cycle
• Common failure symptoms: heavy frost on the evaporator/back wall, warm fresh-food section, runs constantly with no defrost, or no cooling if stuck in defrost
• Stop advancing through cycles or advance intermittently

• Disconnect power before servicing; electrical components can hold live voltage
• Location varies by model: typically in the control housing inside the refrigerator or behind a rear/service panel
• Photograph/label wire positions and transfer connectors one at a time to the new timer
• Mount securely, restore power, and verify normal cooling/defrost operation

This evaporator wire harness delivers power and control signals to the evaporator fan and defrost components. Replace a damaged harness to restore stable cooling and dependable automatic defrost performance. What it does:

• Provides plug-in electrical connections for evaporator-compartment components
• Carries power and control signals for cooling and defrost cycles
• Enables proper airflow across the evaporator and effective frost removal
• Common clues of a failing harness: heavy frost on the back wall, evaporator fan not running, intermittent cooling, or burned/brittle wires or connectors

• 1 evaporator wire harness assembly

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the harness behind the freezer/evaporator cover; remove drawers/shelves and the rear panel
• If iced over, allow ice to melt—do not use sharp tools on coils or wiring
• Route and secure the new harness exactly like the original; fully seat each connector

This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature and opens the circuit to the defrost heater at the correct point. It prevents overheating during the defrost cycle and helps restore proper airflow for consistent cooling.

• Senses evaporator coil temperature to control the defrost cycle
• Opens the heater circuit as the coil warms to terminate defrost
• Helps maintain airflow and stable compartment temperatures
• Failure signs: heavy frost/ice buildup, poor cooling, or defrost cycle not initiating/terminating properly

• Disconnect power before service; internal edges can be sharp—wear gloves
• Defrost and expose the evaporator to access the thermostat
• Reinstall in the original location/orientation on the evaporator tubing for firm thermal contact
• Route and secure wiring as originally; keep clear of moving parts and hot surfaces

This electronic control assembly governs the oven's functions and user interface, restoring reliable cycle selection, temperature control, and display feedback for compatible Frigidaire ranges and wall ovens. What it does:

• Replaces a failed oven control board to restore accurate temperature regulation and bake/ broil cycle control.
• Fixes symptoms like unresponsive control panel, incorrect oven cycles, or a blank/erratic display.
• Manages timed functions, broil/bake relay switching, and on-board diagnostics used by the appliance.
• Works with the existing keypad, wiring harness, and door/latch assemblies when those parts are functioning.

• One control assembly (electronic oven control)

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any work.
• Handle the board and connectors carefully to avoid electrostatic discharge or damage to components.
• Verify harness connections and mounting orientation before securing the assembly.

The Water Tank Heater is an OEM component for GE bottom-mount refrigerators offering internal water and ice dispensing. Located within the drinking water reservoir, it facilitates antibacterial heating cycles. Dependable water delivery relies on a functioning tank heater.

Symptoms of failure include:  

• Absence of hot water from the dispenser or ice maker
• Cloudy or sedimented water quality needs frequent filter changing  
• Mold or bacterial growth detected within the reservoir

Causes involve cracked or porous heater elements that cannot transfer thermal energy effectively over extended years, loose wiring terminals cutting off electric current, or mineral buildup hindering heat transfer to the surrounding tank.

Replacing with this genuine GE heater ensures optimized reservoir sanitization through precise temperature regulation. Compatible replacements include models for Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators seeking to restore hot water dispensing and purification features.
 

This refrigerator temperature sensor detects fresh-food compartment temperature and provides the thermostat/control board with the readings needed for proper cooling management. Replacing a failed sensor restores accurate temperature feedback to the control system. What it does:

• Measures internal fresh-food compartment temperature for the control board
• Helps the fridge regulate run cycles to maintain set temperatures
• Faulty sensor can cause incorrect temperature display or inconsistent cooling

• Always unplug the appliance before attempting any repair.
• Handle the sensing tip and wiring harness gently to avoid damage.
• Use basic hand tools; follow the wiring diagram for location and routing.
