The Water Tube is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for delivering water to the dispenser and ice maker, ensuring a steady flow of chilled water and ice cubes.

A bad water tube can occur due to wear and tear over time or damage caused by mishandling or accidents. If you notice symptoms such as water leaks, reduced water flow, or ice maker malfunctions, it may indicate a need to replace the water tube.

Symptoms of a bad water tube include:

• Water leaks or drips from the dispenser or ice maker
• Reduced water flow or weak water pressure
• Inconsistent ice production or ice cube quality

Restore your refrigerator by replacing the faulty water tube with this genuine OEM part.

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

Air tower directs cold air from the evaporator into the refrigerator compartment to improve airflow and temperature consistency. Replaces cracked or misaligned air guides that can cause uneven cooling or warm spots. What it does:

• Channels chilled air from the evaporator into the fresh-food compartment for more consistent temperatures.
• Helps reduce uneven cooling and warm spots caused by blocked or damaged airflow paths.
• Restores proper airflow that can prevent excessive frost or ice buildup in the evaporator area.
• Common replacement when the existing tower is cracked, warped, or missing sections.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove shelves, bins, or inner liners as needed to access the tower; basic hand tools may be required.
• Align tabs/clips and gently snap or secure the tower into place; avoid forcing to prevent cracking.
• If frost or ice is present, fully defrost and dry the area before installing the new part.

The Drier is an OEM component specifically designed for GE combination refrigerator-freezers. Absorbing moisture, its treated silica particles buffer humidity within refrigerant lines. Proper drying sustains energy-efficient performance while preventing corrosion.

Causes of a faulty drier commonly relate to saturation reducing capacity. As desiccant degrades, water passes into closed system compressors requiring change. 

Symptoms of a bad drier involve:

• Frost and ice buildup impairing cooling  
• Puddling around evaporator evidencing leaks
• Higher operating costs from impaired efficiency

Causes of a bad drier involve typical saturation shortening drying cycles. Cracks release desiccant particles risking blockages necessitating timely replacement.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Frigidaire combination units. Replace to retain steady humidity management protecting components and maximizing freshness years of operation.
 

Front control housing replaces the appliance's front control console to restore appearance and provide a secure mounting surface for the control components. It helps keep buttons, knobs, and the control board properly aligned and protected. What it does:

• Houses and supports the control board, touchpad/buttons and display so controls stay securely mounted.
• Replaces cracked, warped or damaged console sections that cause loose or misaligned buttons.
• Restores proper button and dial alignment when physical damage prevents normal operation.
• Helps reduce exposure of internal control parts to dust and splashes from normal use.

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or switch off circuit breaker) before beginning any work.
• Removal typically requires taking off the control panel and detaching wiring—handle ribbon cables and connectors gently.
• Use the correct screwdriver and hardware; avoid overtightening screws to prevent cracking the plastic.

This top hinge and pin assembly secures and guides a refrigerator door so it opens and closes smoothly. Replacing a worn hinge restores proper door alignment and helps the door seal correctly. What it does

• Supports the top of the refrigerator door and provides the pivot point for opening and closing
• Replaces a bent, worn, or broken hinge that can cause a sagging or misaligned door
• Helps stop rubbing, squeaking, or noisy door movement caused by a damaged hinge
• Restores correct door positioning to improve gasket sealing and cold retention

• Disconnect power and remove all items from the door before starting work.
• Support the door (have a second person if needed) while removing and installing the hinge to prevent injury or damage.
• Use basic hand tools; follow the refrigerator manufacturer's service instructions for proper alignment and torque.

This control shield is a replacement console protector that helps shield the oven/range control assembly from heat, splashes and debris to keep the control area working cleanly. It restores the protective barrier behind the front control surface. What it does:

• Protects the control board and front console from heat, grease and food splatter
• Helps prevent damage that can cause intermittent or unresponsive controls
• Restores proper spacing and support behind the control panel
• Used when the original shield is warped, cracked or missing

• One control shield

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair
• Remove the control panel or console trim per service instructions to access the shield
• Replace with matching orientation and secure using the original screws/clips; do not force or bend the part

A replacement foam supply nozzle that directs detergent/soap flow into the wash chamber to help ensure proper dispensing and reduce excess suds. Fits select top-load and front-load washer dispenser assemblies. What it does:

• Channels detergent/soap from the dispenser into the wash tub for even distribution
• Helps prevent soap from pooling or over-foaming during the fill cycle
• Commonly replaces cracked, clogged, or warped nozzles that cause poor dispensing
• Can resolve symptoms like detergent leaking from the dispenser, excess suds, or uneven cleaning

• One foam supply nozzle

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning any repairs
• Remove dispenser assembly per manufacturer instructions; replace nozzle and reassemble carefully
• Inspect surrounding seals and clips and replace if damaged to prevent leaks

This fill tube port cover replaces the plastic trim that secures and protects the ice maker fill tube where it passes through the refrigerator liner, helping keep the fill tube aligned and reducing leaks or rattle noise. What it does:

• Secures the ice maker water fill tube in the cabinet wall to keep the tube properly positioned
• Helps prevent water spray or leaks at the fill tube entry point
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by a loose or damaged port trim
• Restores a finished appearance around the fill tube opening

• One fill tube port cover

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before starting any work
