The Front Roller Assembly is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It's designed to support the front part of the refrigerator, allowing for smooth and easy movement when you need to shift the appliance for cleaning, maintenance, or repositioning. This roller assembly ensures the weight of the refrigerator is evenly distributed, reducing strain on the floor and making it easier to move the refrigerator without damaging the flooring or the appliance itself.
Causes of a bad Front Roller Assembly can include wear and tear from regular use, damage from moving the refrigerator improperly, or corrosion over time.
Symptoms of a bad Front Roller Assembly include:
- Difficulty moving the refrigerator
- Uneven positioning or tilting of the refrigerator
- Excessive noise or resistance when attempting to move the appliance
- Visible wear or damage to the rollers
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
