The R134 Drier is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component plays a critical role in the refrigeration system by removing moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, ensuring efficient cooling and preventing damage to other parts of the system. It helps maintain the purity and effectiveness of the refrigerant as it cycles through the system.

You should replace the R134 drier if it becomes clogged or damaged. Common causes of a bad drier include wear and tear over time, exposure to moisture, or contamination from other failing components in the refrigeration system.

Symptoms of a bad R134 drier include:

• Reduced cooling efficiency
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Unusual noises from the refrigeration system
• Increased energy consumption
• Refrigerator not maintaining the set temperature

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

• Fastens panels, brackets, covers, and other hardware points in the appliance
• Helps maintain proper alignment and a tight fit of components
• Replaces damaged, stripped, or missing hardware
• Common symptoms include loose or rattling parts and hardware that won't tighten

• One screw

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water supply if working near water components
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading; replace one-for-one in the original location
• Use the correct driver bit for the head style; tighten snugly without overtightening into plastic or thin metal

This control housing is the outer console frame that holds the oven/range control board and user interface, restoring a clean, secure mounting for switches, buttons and the display. It helps keep controls aligned and protected for reliable operation. What it does:

• Secures the electronic control board and control panel components in the appliance console
• Keeps buttons, knobs and display window properly aligned and protected from debris
• Helps prevent intermittent button or display contact caused by a loose or cracked housing
• Addresses symptoms like loose or rattling controls, misaligned buttons, or visible cracks in the console

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or shut off breaker) before starting any repair
• Remove screws and any trim pieces to access the control housing; handle plastic parts gently to avoid cracking
• Support the control board and wiring when removing the housing to avoid strain on connectors

This mechanical control harness connects the appliance's mechanical timer/control to switches and motors, restoring reliable signal and power routing for timed cycles. Helps re-establish proper control function when wiring is damaged or worn. What it does

• Routes power and control signals between the mechanical timer and associated switches/components
• Restores electrical continuity when original harness has broken wires or failed connectors
• Can resolve symptoms such as intermittent or no timer advancement, loss of specific functions, or components not receiving power
• Designed to match OEM connector locations and wire lengths for direct replacement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the harness.
• Compare the replacement harness to the original to confirm connector types and routing before installation.
• Handle connector terminals gently; avoid pinching or over-bending wires during routing.

The Compressor is an OEM component specifically designed for GE top-mounted and bottom-mounted refrigerator freezers. Responsible for circulating refrigerant, its robust motor compressively moves gas to chill interiors reliably. Permanent lubrication withstands constant operation.

Symptoms of a faulty compressor commonly involve cycling off too frequently or inefficient temperature regulation. Loss of pressure from degradation risks expensive repairs necessitating replacement. 

Causes of a bad compressor relate to typical wear reducing circulation. Over-activation exposes motor windings to damage requiring timely change.

Causes of a bad compressor can involve:

• Failure to maintain set temperatures 
• Frost buildup impairing performance
• Vibrations transferring to cabinetry

This OEM GE part is also compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Frigidaire refrigerators. Replace to retain steady refrigeration preserving freshness for dependable operation long-term.
