The Veggie Pan Drawer is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerator models. It is located below the main fresh food storage shelves, this enclosed space utilizes an evaporative system to humidify stored produce.

Causes of failure typically involve excess mineral buildup clogging the humidity mechanism over several years of use. Introducing too much water can also damage electronic components.

Symptoms to watch for include:

• Interior pan cracking or tiles crumbling from over-saturation
• Drawer failing to maintain proper humidity levels  
• Premature spoiling of fruits and veggies lacking consistent moisture

This OEM GE part is compatible with Profile models as well as some Kenmore refrigerators. 

The Freezer Shelf is an OEM replacement part for GE freezers. This shelf provides storage throughout the freezer compartment. It measures approximately. 25" x 12".

Causes of a bad freezer shelf can include cracked or broken steel from overloading, corrosion from moisture exposure over years of use, or damage from impact.

Symptoms of a faulty shelf include:

• Visible cracks, breaks, or fractures in the steel
