The Defrost Heater Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It contains the heating element responsible for maintaining optimal temperatures within the refrigerator. As a crucial component, the heater works to keep stored food safely cooled and prevent freezing.

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include gradual wear over time, mineral buildup reducing heat transfer efficiency, and physical damage. 

Symptoms of failure are:

• Fluctuating temperatures inside the fridge
• Food spoiling more quickly 
• Compressor running excessively 
• Error codes indicating heating issues

This GE OEM part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models for simple cross-referencing.

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This motor is responsible for circulating air over the evaporator coils, which are crucial for maintaining the desired temperature inside the refrigerator compartment.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor:

• Inadequate cooling or temperature fluctuations
• Loud or unusual noises coming from the refrigerator
• Ice buildup or frost accumulation on the evaporator coils
• The fan not running or rotating properly

Causes of a faulty evaporator fan motor can include general wear and tear over time, dust or debris buildup inhibiting proper operation, or electrical issues such as short circuits or faulty wiring.

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

The Door Closure Spring is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It provides balanced tension to assist the door hinges and latch mechanism in securely closing the refrigerator door. The spring helps the door shut fully while preventing it from slamming closed abruptly.  

Symptoms of a bad door closure spring include:

• The door not latching securely or remaining slightly ajar    
• Difficulty closing the door fully without assistance
• Increased thermal loss as the door does not seal tightly
• Risk of food items falling out from an open door position   

Causes of failure include metal fatigue from prolonged use. Springs can also weaken from mineral buildup over many years of repeated openings and closings. 

This OEM GE replacement spring is also compatible with models including GE, Monogram, and select Kenmore units. 

The Water Valve is an OEM replacement part for GE side-by-side refrigerators. As part of the internal plumbing system, the valve controls the supply of water into the refrigerator for ice and water dispensing functions. It opens and closes precisely based on electronic signals from the control board.

Causes of a bad water valve can include mineral buildup disrupting water flow, seal deterioration from repeated use, or damage due to freezing temperatures. 

Symptoms of a bad water valve include:

• Slow fill times for the ice maker or water dispenser  
• Odd sounds coming from the valve area 
• Water leaks at the valve inlet/outlet ports
• Failures of the ice/water dispenser to function normally

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

The Left Hand Pan Slide is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part allows the crisper or deli drawer to smoothly slide in and out, ensuring easy access to stored items.

Causes of a bad pan slide can include wear and tear from frequent use, physical damage such as cracking or breaking, or misalignment due to heavy loads or improper handling.

Symptoms of a bad pan slide include:

• Difficulty in sliding the drawer in or out
• The drawer getting stuck or not staying in place
• Noisy or rough movement when opening or closing the drawer

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

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.

The Drain Tube is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for directing defrost water to the drain pan located beneath the appliance, where it can evaporate safely. 

Causes of a bad drain tube can include blockages from debris or ice, physical damage such as cracks or splits that allow water leakage, or a disconnection from its fitting points due to improper installation or material fatigue.

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 Temperature Sensor Grille is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This grille covers and protects the temperature sensor, ensuring it accurately measures the internal temperature of the refrigerator.  

Causes of a bad grille can include physical damage from impacts, regular wear and tear, or the buildup of dust and debris that can obstruct airflow.  

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor grille include:

• Inaccurate temperature readings
• The refrigerator running continuously or not cooling properly
• Visible damage or obstruction on the grille
• The sensor becoming loose or dislodged

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

The Set Screw is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is used to secure various components within the refrigerator, ensuring they remain firmly in place during operation. 

Over time, a set screw can become worn, stripped, or lost due to regular use or during repairs. A missing or damaged set screw can lead to loose components, which may cause operational issues or even damage other parts of the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad Set Screw include:

• Loose or rattling components inside the refrigerator
• Difficulty in keeping parts securely fastened
• Noise coming from the area where the screw is used
• Misalignment of parts, leading to improper functioning

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