Symptoms of a bad grille base include:

• Increased vibrations or rattling noises coming from the cooling system area
• The grille or condenser fan assembly becoming loose, detached, or misaligned  
• Reduced airflow and cooling efficiency

This OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models. Replace yours today to restore optimal cooling performance and reliability.
