The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part circulates air over the evaporator coils, facilitating proper cooling and airflow throughout the refrigerator compartments.

Causes of a bad part can include normal wear and tear over time, bearing failure, electrical issues preventing the motor from running, or debris obstructing the fan blades.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor include:

• Inadequate cooling or warm temperatures in the fresh food or freezer sections
• Frost buildup or moisture accumulation
• Loud or unusual noises coming from the fan area
• Complete failure of the fan to operate

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This screw is a genuine General Electric part, sold individually. This screw can be used as a replacement part for a refrigerator. A screw can suffer damage in the lifespan of a refrigerator. It can also be easily lost or misplaced. Screws are small parts and are usually installed in multiples to ensure components are reliably attached, so one screw loosening or going missing might not necessarily affect the operability of the refrigerator. However, if the components loosen or the screw suffers damage that strips the part, such as punctures or erosion to the metal material from general wear and tear or from a direct impact, the screw should be removed and replaced with this genuine OEM replacement part. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. This screw is compatible with the following appliance brands: General Electric, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana.

The Compressor Overload and Start Relay is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in starting the refrigerator’s compressor and protecting it from electrical overloads.

Over time, these components can fail due to electrical wear, overheating, or repeated cycling. This can cause the refrigerator to malfunction or stop working altogether.

Symptoms of a bad compressor overload and start relay include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Clicking noises from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor not running
• Overheating of the refrigerator

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

• Adjust hinges if needed

Restore accurate cooling with this refrigerator temperature control thermostat. The cold control senses compartment temperature and opens or closes the circuit to cycle the cooling system, helping maintain your selected setting when the original control becomes unreliable.

• Monitors refrigerator air temperature via a sensing bulb
• Opens/closes electrical contacts to cycle the cooling system
• Maintains the temperature you select with the control knob
• Common symptoms of a failing control: temperatures too warm or too cold, refrigerator runs constantly or won't start, no response to knob adjustments

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the control housing and note wire locations and the exact routing/placement of the sensing bulb
• Transfer any mounting hardware and the control knob from the old part; install the new thermostat
• Route and secure the sensing bulb exactly as original—do not kink the capillary; restore power, set to a mid setting, and allow temperatures to stabilize before fine-tuning

This reversible door plug fills the unused mounting hole when you switch the door swing on your refrigerator. It restores a finished appearance and helps keep air and moisture from entering through the opening.

• Covers the unused door hole created during a door swing reversal
• Helps maintain proper sealing and resists drafts/condensation at the opening
• Restores a clean, finished, factory look to the door
• Common symptoms: missing or cracked plug, exposed hole, cosmetic gap on door edge

The duct foam assembly insulates and seals the refrigerator's air duct to keep cold air moving efficiently between compartments. Replacing worn or missing foam helps restore airflow control, reduce moisture at the vent, and stabilize temperatures.

• Seals the air duct to prevent warm-air leaks and maintain proper airflow
• Insulates the duct to help keep fresh-food temperatures consistent
• Helps reduce condensation or frost forming around the vent area
• Typical indications include temperature swings, a warm fresh-food section, moisture/frost near the duct, or visibly damaged/missing foam

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove interior shelves/panels as needed to access the air duct; note foam orientation before removal
• Clean the mounting surface; seat new foam fully and evenly to create a complete seal—do not obstruct a damper door or sensor if present
• Restore power and verify airflow and sealing around the vent

This power cord assembly supplies electrical power from the wall outlet to your refrigerator. Replace a cut, frayed, or overheated cord to restore safe, reliable operation and eliminate intermittent power loss caused by a damaged cord. What it does:

• Provides the electrical connection between the household outlet and the refrigerator's wiring
• Helps resolve no-power or intermittent power when the cord is moved
• Addresses visible damage such as cuts, cracks, fraying, or a melted/discolored plug
• Mitigates arcing, sparking, or a burning odor originating from the cord or plug area

• One power cord assembly

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Pull the refrigerator forward for access; note the original cord routing and connections
• Install the new cord along the same path and secure any built-in strain relief; ensure the ground connection is properly seated
• Restore power and verify operation

This is the front trim/retainer for a full-width refrigerator shelf. Replacing a cracked or missing bar restores a secure front edge so items stay in place and the shelf installs and functions correctly.

• Attaches to the front of a full-width shelf to act as the retaining/trim piece

• Supports proper fit and stability of the shelf assembly
• Typical failure signs: cracked, broken, or loose/missing front bar

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator and remove the shelf before servicing.
• Release the damaged front from its side supports; note orientation.
• Align and slide/snap the new front into the supports until fully seated, then reinstall the shelf.

This compressor overload protects the refrigerator's compressor by cutting power if it overheats or draws excessive current. When it fails, the compressor may not start and the fridge can warm up while you hear repeated clicking from the rear.

• Opens the circuit to the compressor when temperature or amperage exceed design limits
• Helps prevent compressor motor damage from locked-rotor or overheating conditions
• Typical failure symptoms: compressor won't start, warm refrigerator/freezer, rhythmic clicking or buzzing near the compressor
