• Replaces a cracked, dented, chipped or otherwise damaged front door panel
• Restores the appliance's exterior finish and helps maintain proper door alignment
• Provides the factory surface for attaching original trim, hinges and handles
• Improves appearance after impact or long-term wear

• One white front door panel

• Disconnect power and water before beginning work
• Some trim, handles or hinges may need to be transferred from the old door; inspect fasteners and hardware
• Handle panels carefully to avoid scratching the finish during installation
• Tighten fasteners to manufacturer torque specs and check door alignment after installation

The Fresh Food Thermistor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It monitors and helps regulate the fresh food compartment temperature through precise measurements. Proper cooling and food preservation rely on an accurate thermistor reading.

Causes of failure can be microfractures in the glass bulb from sudden temperature changes, loose wiring connections preventing digital communication over time, or fluid intrusion corroding circuit pathways.

Symptoms of a defective fresh food thermistor include:  

• Inability to maintain a consistent temperature setting  
• Strange odors or icing up inside the fridge
• Temperature display showing an inaccurate readout

Replacing with this genuine GE thermistor restores dependable thermal regulation. Compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore brands, it supports consistent fridge performance.
 

This thermal fuse stops excessive heat by opening the circuit when temperatures get too high, protecting the appliance and its components. Replace a blown fuse to restore normal heating or safety shutdown functions. What it does:

• Acts as an over-temperature safety device to interrupt power when internal temps exceed safe limits
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as no heat, intermittent heating, or an appliance that won't start
• Prevents further damage by cutting power when a serious overheating condition occurs
• Functions as a single-use safety cutout—if it's open, it must be replaced

• One thermal fuse

• Disconnect power before testing or replacing; verify no voltage present
• Test continuity with a multimeter to confirm the fuse is open before replacing
• Replace with the same part number and rating; do not bypass or substitute with wire
• If the fuse failed, inspect the appliance for underlying issues before returning to service
