The Shelf is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It provides a stable and durable surface for storing food and other items within the refrigerator. The shelf is designed to fit seamlessly into the refrigerator's interior, maximizing space and organization. It measures approximately 25 inches wide by 14 inches deep.

Over time, the shelf can become damaged due to heavy loads, accidental impacts, or regular wear and tear. If you notice cracks, chips, or instability in the shelf, it is important to replace it to ensure safe and effective storage.

Symptoms of a bad shelf include:

• Cracks or visible damage
• Difficulty in keeping items stable
• Reduced storage capacity due to instability

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the correct temperature
• Water leaks inside the refrigerator
• The defrost heater not activating during the defrost cycle

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor include:

• Inadequate cooling or warm temperatures in the fresh food or freezer sections
• Frost buildup or moisture accumulation
• Loud or unusual noises coming from the fan area
• Complete failure of the fan to operate

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This screw is a genuine General Electric part, sold individually. This screw can be used as a replacement part for a refrigerator. A screw can suffer damage in the lifespan of a refrigerator. It can also be easily lost or misplaced. Screws are small parts and are usually installed in multiples to ensure components are reliably attached, so one screw loosening or going missing might not necessarily affect the operability of the refrigerator. However, if the components loosen or the screw suffers damage that strips the part, such as punctures or erosion to the metal material from general wear and tear or from a direct impact, the screw should be removed and replaced with this genuine OEM replacement part. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. This screw is compatible with the following appliance brands: General Electric, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana.

The Compressor Overload and Start Relay is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in starting the refrigerator’s compressor and protecting it from electrical overloads.

Symptoms of a bad compressor overload and start relay include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Clicking noises from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor not running
• Overheating of the refrigerator

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
