The Temperature Sensor Seal is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This seal is designed to protect the temperature sensor from moisture and other environmental factors that could affect its accuracy and longevity. By providing a barrier against the harsh conditions within a refrigerator, such as humidity and temperature fluctuations, this seal ensures that the sensor can accurately monitor and control the refrigerator's internal temperature.

Causes of a malfunctioning Temperature Sensor Seal can include wear and tear over time, degrading the seal's effectiveness. Physical damage like tears or punctures can allow moisture to reach the sensor. Improper installation may leave gaps or loose areas around the sensor, compromising the seal.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Sensor Seal include:

• Inaccurate temperature readings.
• Condensation or frost near the sensor location.
• Frequent cycling or unusual patterns in the refrigerator's cooling process.

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

• Helps maintain even temperatures and reduces warm spots
• Replaces a noisy, seized, or non-running motor
• Common symptoms: weak or no airflow from vents, rising temperatures, frost/ice buildup on the evaporator cover, or rattling/squealing near the fan

• 1 evaporator fan motor assembly

• Disconnect power and wear cut-resistant gloves before servicing
• Remove shelves/bins and the interior panel to access the evaporator compartment

Symptoms of a bad Drain Tube include:

• Water pooling at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment
• Ice accumulation in or around the freezer area
• Leakage of water onto the kitchen floor beneath the refrigerator

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

The Auger Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part drives the auger in the freezer's ice dispenser mechanism. This motor is vital for the smooth operation of the ice dispenser, enabling it to deliver ice cubes or crushed ice through the dispenser chute upon demand.  

Over time, the auger motor can wear out or sustain damage due to normal use, leading to a decrease in performance or complete failure.  

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Auger Motor include:

• The ice dispenser failing to dispense ice
• Only crushed ice being dispensed, irrespective of the selection
• Loud or unusual noises emanating from the ice dispenser when in use
• The auger failing to rotate when the ice dispenser lever is engaged

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

The Grill Recess is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is located in the dispenser area, acting as a catch tray to collect drips and spills from the water or ice dispenser. This component helps keep the dispenser area clean and prevents water from dripping onto the floor or refrigerator surfaces.

Over time, the grill recess can become cracked, discolored, or damaged due to regular use and exposure to moisture. Replacing it ensures a clean appearance and continued functionality of the dispenser area.

Symptoms of a bad grill recess include:

• Cracks or visible damage to the tray
• Difficulty fitting the grill securely in place
• Water pooling or dripping from the dispenser area
• Discoloration or wear from prolonged use

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

The Fresh Food Door Gasket is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It forms an air-tight seal around the fresh food door preventing air and moisture exchange between the refrigerator interior and exterior. The gasket helps to maintain the ideal temperature and humidity levels inside for optimal food storage.

Causes of a bad gasket can include cracks, tears, or worn-away sections compromising the air-tight seal over time. Exposure to heat, moisture, or chemicals during cleaning may also degrade sealing qualities.

Symptoms of a bad gasket include:

• Cool air leaking from around the door
• Interior surfaces becoming wet or frosty
• Difficulty maintaining proper interior temperature settings

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

The Ice Deflector Spring is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This spring is a crucial component of the ice dispensing system, specifically in selecting between crushed and whole ice cubes. It is designed to always force the diverter back in a way that the cubes get crushed. When whole cubes are selected, the solenoid pulls the lever against the spring’s tension to shift the configuration, allowing cubes to bypass the crusher blades.

Causes for a malfunctioning Ice Deflector Spring can include wear and tear from regular use, corrosion due to constant exposure to moisture, or mechanical failure that prevents it from effectively reverting the diverter to the crushed ice configuration.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Deflector Spring include:

• The ice dispenser only dispensing whole cubes, even when crushed ice is selected
• The diverter not returning to the crushed ice configuration
• Unusual sounds during the ice dispensing process
• The need for manual intervention to get crushed ice

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

This evaporator fan motor dust cap is an authentic OEM replacement part found on refrigerator and freezer fan motors. This dust cap prevents the fan motor bearing and housing from being damaged by dirt and debris. If the dust cap is cracked or broken, the fan may make loud squealing noises. If the dust cap is not removed and replaced, the fan could stop working and ultimately cause the refrigerator's temperature to be affected. To start, disconnect the power and water to the refrigerator. Remove food from the freezer so that the back panel of the freezer can be accessed to reach the fan. Remove the ice maker and set it outside the freezer. Disconnect the fan and take it out of the freezer to expose the fan's shaft and the dust cover. Pry the dust cover off and install the new one. Replace the fan and cover. Reconnect the wires and reinstall the icemaker. Put the food back in the freezer. Reconnect the power and water.The evaporator fan motor dust cap is a white plastic part that is sold individually. This dust cover is made for use in refrigerators manufactured by General Electric, Hotpoint, and Kenmore.
