Symptoms of a bad Connector Gear Pinion include:
- Difficulty in opening or closing the freezer drawer
- Unusual noises such as grinding or clicking when operating the drawer
- The drawer not staying aligned or properly seated on the rails
- The drawer getting stuck or not moving smoothly
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
