• Align carefully before seating; some badges press into place or adhere to the surface
• Use caution around sharp edges and disconnect power when working near electrical components

This rear access cover protects the refrigerator's back components and provides a clean finished look. It replaces a cracked, broken or missing rear panel so wiring, the compressor and connections stay covered and less exposed. What it does

• Shields compressor, wiring and rear components from dirt and accidental contact
• Helps prevent drafts and debris from reaching internal parts
• Reduces rattles or vibration noise caused by loose or damaged panels
• Restores the factory appearance at the back of the appliance

• Disconnect power before starting any work and move the appliance away from the wall for access
• Use appropriate screwdrivers; retain or replace mounting screws as needed
• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts; align clips/tabs before fastening
• Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific fitment and mounting details

This kit replaces the mounting hardware that secures a refrigerator/freezer door handle to the door, restoring a solid, safe grip and clean appearance when the original fasteners are missing, damaged, or stripped.

• Helps resolve loose, wobbly, or detached handles
• Replaces missing, damaged, or stripped handle fasteners
• Supports proper handle alignment and feel

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) and wear gloves.
• Support the handle while removing old hardware to prevent drops or scratches.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten evenly and do not overtighten.
• The handle is secure and the door opens/closes normally.

The Ice Bucket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is a component that stores ice from the icemaker in the freezer compartment. The ice bucket allows for convenient access to ice on demand, fitting seamlessly within the refrigerator design.

Symptoms of a bad ice bucket include:

• Cracks or damage to the plastic material
• Inability to easily remove or insert the bucket  
• Ice falling out of the bucket improperly
• Missing parts like the handle

Note: This is just the ice bucket. It does not include other ice maker components.

Replace your worn ice bucket before further issues arise like ice spilling in the freezer. This OEM GE part restores your refrigerator’s storage and access to ice. It is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore refrigerators.
 

The Capacitor is an OEM component specifically designed for GE refrigerators with bottom-mount freezers. Located inside near the compressor unit, it aids in powering the refrigerator system during startup.

Causes of a bad capacitor include normal wear from thousands of startup cycles. Exposure to moisture or fluctuating voltages over many years can diminish performance.

Symptoms of a failing capacitor include:

• Inconsistent cooling or inability to lower temperatures
• Buzzing or humming noises from inside the fridge 
• Repeatedly tripping the power breaker 

Replacing with this genuine GE capacitor restores reliable operation. Compatible with GE bottom-freezer models, it features reliable aluminum electrolytic construction. Backed by GE quality, this replacement ensures smooth powering of the compressor for efficient cooling cycles. Compatible replacements are also available for GE Profile and GE Cafe series refrigerators.
 

The Defrost Heater Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This assembly is responsible for preventing the buildup of ice and frost on the evaporator coils by providing controlled heat during the defrost cycle. It helps prevent ice accumulation that can hinder the refrigerator's ability to cool properly.

A bad defrost heater assembly can occur due to electrical issues, component failure, or damage to the heating element. If you notice symptoms such as excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer compartment, inconsistent cooling, or water leaking from the refrigerator, it may indicate a need to replace the defrost heater assembly.

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater assembly include:

• Excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer compartment
• Inconsistent cooling
• Water leaking from the refrigerator

Restore your refrigerator by replacing the faulty defrost heater assembly with this genuine OEM part.

This GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 
 

The Grommet Water Fill Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for GE top-mount refrigerators. It is located at the back of the fresh food compartment and consists of the water inlet grommet that channels water from the external line.

During use, causes of failure can include mineral buildup on the filter over time inhibiting proper water flow. Deterioration of the inlet grommet seal may also occur.

Symptoms of a bad water fill assembly include:

• Slow or incomplete filling of the internal water tank  
• Leaks occurring at the rear water inlet connection point
• Mineral deposits building up within the internal waterways

This OEM GE replacement ensures a secure seal and mesh filtration for clear, contaminant-free water going to the dispenser. It maintains proper filling and is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This compressor start device is the overload/PTC relay combo that mounts on the compressor. It delivers the initial start boost and protects against overheating so your refrigerator starts reliably and maintains proper cooling.

• Provides start assistance to the compressor, then disengages once the motor is running
• Integrated overload opens on overcurrent/overheat to protect the compressor
• Common failure symptoms: not cooling, compressor won't start, rapid clicking or buzzing from the rear, intermittent cooling
• Mounts directly to the compressor terminals for a secure, correct connection

• Disconnect power and allow the compressor to cool before servicing
• Remove the rear access cover; note wire orientation
• Pull the old device straight off the compressor pins; push the new assembly fully onto the pins until seated
• Restore power and confirm the compressor starts smoothly
