The Condenser Fan Blade is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for moving air across the condenser coils to help dissipate heat, allowing the refrigerator to maintain the proper cooling temperature. This fan blade ensures efficient operation of the cooling system by facilitating proper airflow.

You should replace this condenser fan blade if it becomes damaged, warped, or fails to move air effectively. Common causes of a bad fan blade include physical damage from debris, wear and tear over time, or warping due to prolonged exposure to heat.

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan blade include:

• Refrigerator not cooling properly
• Increased noise from the refrigerator
• Overheating of the condenser coils
• Reduced airflow around the condenser area

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

The Compressor Start Device is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This start device is responsible for powering on and initiating the refrigeration compressor during each cooling cycle. 

Causes of a bad start device can include wear and tear over time, exposure to fluctuations in power or voltage that can damage electronic components, or accidental damage that impairs the device's ability to reliably power the compressor.

Symptoms of a bad start device include: 

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or only cooling intermittently
• The compressor not turning on at all or making unusual sounds when powered on  
• Warm air blowing from vents inside the refrigerator or freezer sections
• Frost or ice building up in areas it typically would not  

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

The Icemaker Fill Cup is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This component is specifically designed to channel water from the fill tube into the ice mold.

Symptoms of a bad Icemaker Fill Cup include:

• Water leakage inside the freezer, leading to ice accumulation
• Inadequate or irregular ice production
• The presence of unusual sounds during the ice-making process

Causes for a malfunctioning Icemaker Fill Cup can range from physical damage, such as cracks or warping due to temperature fluctuations, to blockages that impede the flow of water into the ice mold.

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

The Defrost Timer is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It regulates the automatic defrost cycle, which helps maintain optimal cooling and preserving food freshness inside the fridge. The defrost timer controls when the refrigerator exits cooling mode to enter a brief defrost period, preventing the buildup of ice on cooling coils. 10hr/35min timer.

Causes of a bad defrost timer can be normal wear and tear over time, exposure to wet environments, or accidental damage.

Symptoms of a bad defrost timer include:

• Inefficient or inconsistent cooling inside the fridge
• Ice accumulation on refrigerator walls or coils
• Condensation or water pooling in compartments or drawers
• Loud buzzing or clicking noises emitting from the back of the fridge

This is a genuine OEM part that works for some models of GE, and Hotpoint models.

This fan-mount grommet fits the evaporator or condenser fan assembly to isolate vibration and keep the motor aligned. Replacing a worn grommet can quiet rattles and prevent the fan blade from rubbing the housing. What it does:

• Isolates the fan motor from its bracket to reduce vibration and operating noise
• Helps maintain proper fan motor and blade alignment/clearance
• Replaces cracked, flattened, hardened, or missing grommets
• Typical symptoms: rattling, buzzing, or vibration sounds from the freezer or rear machine compartment

• 1 fan motor grommet

• Disconnect power before servicing; pull the refrigerator forward for rear access if needed
• Evaporator fan: remove the freezer's rear panel; condenser fan: remove the rear service panel
• Support the motor, remove the fan blade and mounting hardware as needed, replace the grommet, and reassemble
• Ensure the fan spins freely and does not contact the shroud before restoring power

This defrost thermostat is a clip-on, bi-metal safety control for the freezer evaporator. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper automatic defrost, helping prevent heavy frost buildup and temperature swings in the fresh food section.

• Monitors evaporator coil temperature and opens the defrost circuit when the coil warms to the cutoff point
• Helps prevent excessive frost that restricts airflow and reduces cooling performance
• Common failure symptoms: persistent frost on the evaporator, poor cooling/warm fridge, unit running longer than normal, or defrost heater staying on too long
• Mounts on the evaporator tubing; closes when cold and opens as the coil warms during defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing; use proper PPE
• Access the evaporator by removing the rear freezer panel
• Note wiring positions; make secure, insulated connections per appliance service guidelines
• Clip the thermostat firmly to the same coil location/orientation for accurate sensing and reassemble panels before restoring power

This evaporator fan motor kit powers the fan that moves air across the evaporator coils and through your refrigerator. Replacing a worn motor restores proper airflow to help maintain stable temperatures and dependable cooling performance.

• Drives the evaporator circulation fan to distribute chilled air through the compartments
• Helps keep temperatures even and reduces hot or cold spots
• Common failure signs: no fan sound or airflow, intermittent operation, or loud squealing/grinding
• Indicated by frost or ice buildup on the rear panel around the evaporator

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove the rear cover and carefully clear any ice as needed
• Transfer the existing fan blade and any reusable mounting parts as required by your model; note fan orientation
• Make secure electrical connections, then reassemble and restore power

This replacement screw secures appliance panels and internal components per your model's hardware list. Replace lost or stripped screws to keep assemblies tight, reduce vibration and rattles, and maintain proper alignment.

• Fastens brackets, covers, and sheet-metal panels as specified in the parts diagram
• Restores proper fit when an original screw is missing, stripped, or damaged
• Helps eliminate rattling or vibration from loose hardware
• Keeps components safely in place during operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Match length, head style, and thread to the original; install in the same location/quantity
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten with the correct driver
• Do not overtighten, especially into plastic or thin sheet metal

This condenser fan mounting bracket secures the condenser fan motor and blade in the correct position to move air across the coils. Replacing a cracked or bent bracket restores stable mounting, reduces vibration, and helps maintain proper condenser airflow.

• Holds the condenser fan motor/blade assembly in alignment for proper airflow through the condenser
• Maintains clearance to prevent the fan blade from rubbing or contacting nearby components
• Helps reduce rattling, vibration, or scraping noises from the rear of the refrigerator
• Damage or misalignment can contribute to restricted condenser airflow and warmer temperatures

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator away from the wall to access the rear service area
• Remove the rear lower access panel; note wiring and hardware locations
• Support the fan motor/blade while removing the old bracket; transfer motor, blade, grommets, and screws to the new bracket
• The fan spins freely with proper clearance and correct airflow direction before reassembly
