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.

• Restores a secure mounting so the bulb stays in place and maintains consistent illumination.

• One lamp socket.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock.
• Use the correct replacement bulb type and wattage for your appliance;
• Inspect wiring and connectors for damage; replace wiring or connectors if they are burnt or corroded.

This U-shaped clip secures trim and components in place on compatible GE appliances, helping keep panels and assemblies aligned for reliable operation. Simple replacement when a broken or missing clip causes loose trim or rattling. What it does:

• Holds trim, panels or small assemblies in position to prevent movement
• Restores secure fit where a worn or broken clip allows gaps or vibration
• Helps eliminate rattling, misaligned doors, or loose internal components
• Works as a direct-fit replacement for the same OEM clip design

• One U-shaped retaining clip

• Turn power off and unplug the appliance before accessing panels or parts
• Remove any trim or screws carefully to reach the clip location; retain fasteners
• Clip typically snaps into place; replace any damaged surrounding hardware

The Harness and Power Cord is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It carries power from the wall outlet to internal refrigerator components and electronically connects these components through its wiring harness. A reliable harness and power cord is essential for powering refrigerator operations like cooling, freezing, lighting, and circulating air. 

Causes of a bad harness and power cord can include fraying of wires over time, cracks or splits in insulation exposing wires, and damaged or faulty connectors. 

Symptoms include:

• Intermittent or complete power failures 
• Lights or fans not functioning
• Inability to control temperature settings
• Error codes or diagnostic issues

Having the right harness and power cord installed ensures consistent power delivery without disruptions or electrical issues. This GE OEM replacement provides a factory fit and match for your model. This part is also compatible with some Kenmore, Hotpoint, and RCA refrigerators.

This foam gasket seals and cushions the supply nozzle to help prevent leaks and reduce vibration where the nozzle meets the appliance. It's a small, soft replacement part used to restore a proper seal and fit. What it does:

• Seals the nozzle connection to help stop drips or slow leaks around the nozzle area
• Cushions and stabilizes the nozzle to reduce rattling or vibration noise
• Restores correct spacing and alignment for reliable fluid flow
• Used when foam is compressed, split, or missing and no longer provides a seal

• One nozzle supply foam gasket

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before replacing
• Remove surrounding trim or components as needed to access the nozzle area
• Clean mating surfaces and seat the foam squarely for a proper seal
• No special tools required; handle gently to avoid tearing the foam

This white corner cap is a small plastic cover that snaps onto a refrigerator door corner to protect the hinge area, conceal fasteners, and restore a finished appearance. Simple replacement for visible damage or missing trim. What it does:

• Covers and protects the door corner and hinge area from dirt and damage
• Hides exposed screws and hardware for a cleaner look
• Prevents sharp edges or gaps that can catch clothing or fingers
• Commonly replaced when cracked, broken, or missing after impact or wear

• Snaps into place
• No wiring; no disassembly beyond removing the damaged cap in most installs
• Disconnect power only if you must remove nearby electrical components; otherwise work with the appliance idle
• Handle plastic parts carefully to avoid cracking; do not force into place

This evaporator coil circulates refrigerant inside the freezer compartment to absorb heat and keep internal temperatures cold. Replacing a damaged evaporator restores proper cold transfer for reliable cooling performance. What it does:

• Absorbs heat from the freezer compartment by circulating refrigerant through the coil
• Helps maintain proper freezer and refrigerator temperatures when functioning correctly
• Common symptom: excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator fins
• Common symptom: warm freezer or refrigerator temps and longer run cycles
• Common symptom: compressor runs constantly or cooling becomes inconsistent

• Disconnect power to the appliance before any service to avoid electrical shock
• Refrigerant system access or refrigerant evacuation may be required; have a certified HVAC/refrigeration technician perform refrigerant work
