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. 
 

This genuine fastener secures appliance components such as panels and brackets. Replacing a missing or stripped screw restores proper fit and helps reduce vibration or rattling. Features 12-24 threads and an approximate 0.785-inch length. What it does:

• 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 air foam actuator controls the airflow/foam delivery mechanism in compatible refrigerators to restore proper dispenser/ice/airflow function. Replaces a worn or failed actuator to help stop intermittent airflow issues and improve operation. What it does:

• Moves the internal air/foam flap to direct airflow or foam to the correct chamber
• Commonly replaced when airflow is inconsistent, dispensers act intermittently, or foam delivery fails
• Works with the appliance's control linkage to respond to user commands or automatic cycles
• Direct OEM-fit replacement designed to match original actuator function

• One air foam actuator

• Disconnect power before attempting any service to avoid electrical shock
• Remove access panels and secure components
• Inspect surrounding linkage and seals; replace any damaged fasteners or gaskets

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.
 

This OL PTCR combo is a temperature-sensing and limiting assembly that helps protect and control heating circuits. It ensures safer, more reliable temperature response for affected GE appliances and their heating/defrost systems. What it does:

• Acts as a temperature limiter and PTCR (positive temperature coefficient resistor) to help regulate heater current and prevent overheating
• Commonly linked to symptoms like no heat, intermittent heating, or a circuit that fails to cycle properly
• Helps the appliance sense temperature changes and limits current as temperature rises for safety and control
• Works as a replacement for a single integrated sensing/limit component in applicable appliance heating circuits

• One OL PTCR combo assembly

• Turn off power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before installing
• Handle the component and connected wires carefully; avoid bending sensing elements or stressing terminals
• Reconnect wiring exactly as removed; confirm secure terminal connections and proper routing away from high-heat surfaces

This refrigerator door stop cushions and limits the door swing to prevent over-travel and protect the cabinet and hinge. Durable plastic design restores proper door alignment and reduces slamming for a quieter, safer fridge. What it does

• Replaces a worn or broken door stop to stop the door from swinging too far.
• Helps prevent damage to the cabinet edge and hinge by absorbing impact.
• Reduces door noise and improves door alignment for a consistent seal.
• Commonly used where the original plastic stop is cracked, missing, or worn.

• One refrigerator door stop (white), as shown.

• Basic hand tools typically required; disconnect power only if working near electrical components.
• Keep original fasteners; replace only with like hardware if specified.
• Inspect surrounding hinge and mounting area for wear and replace if necessary.

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
