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.
