The PTC Starter is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. Located behind the rear refrigerator grille, it initiates compressor function through a starting relay to begin cooling cycles. Reliable cooling demands a functional PTC starter.

Symptoms of a faulty starter can include:  

• Refrigerator failing to reach proper cooling temperatures 
• Cyclic or erratic operation of the compressor
• Buzzing or humming sounds coming from behind the grille

Causes involve worn out or damaged bimetal elements preventing overload protection, failed or loose wiring terminals inhibiting electric current, or moisture exposure corroding internal circuitry.

Replacing with this genuine GE starter restores dependable cooling initiation through precisely timed compressor engagement. Compatible replacements for Hotpoint, RCA and select Kenmore fridge brands as well.
 

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for GE upright freezers. Located inside the freezer compartment, it accurately monitors and helps maintain the extremely cold temperatures required for food preservation. Without a functioning temperature sensor, proper freezing cannot occur.

Symptoms of a faulty sensor include:

• Fluctuating temperatures that do not stay consistent with the dial setting   
• Buildup of ice on interior walls and frozen items
• Warm foods and defrosting occurring in areas of the freezer

Causes can involve cracking of the glass sensor bulb from stressful temperature changes over time, dislodged wiring preventing communication with the control board, or fluid damage inhibiting accurate reads.  

Replacing with this genuine GE sensor ensures steady freezing for protecting meats and frozen goods long-term. Compatible with Hotpoint, RCA and Kenmore upright freezer models as well.
 

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

The Drier is an OEM component specifically designed for GE combination refrigerator-freezers. Absorbing moisture, its treated silica particles buffer humidity within refrigerant lines. Proper drying sustains energy-efficient performance while preventing corrosion.

Causes of a faulty drier commonly relate to saturation reducing capacity. As desiccant degrades, water passes into closed system compressors requiring change. 

Symptoms of a bad drier involve:

• Frost and ice buildup impairing cooling  
• Puddling around evaporator evidencing leaks
• Higher operating costs from impaired efficiency

Causes of a bad drier involve typical saturation shortening drying cycles. Cracks release desiccant particles risking blockages necessitating timely replacement.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Frigidaire combination units. Replace to retain steady humidity management protecting components and maximizing freshness years of operation.
