The Start Device is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It initiates automated functions by sending a starting signal to various refrigerator components. Proper operation relies on the start device acting as the cue to begin cooling cycles, fan motors, and lighting circuits.

Symptoms of a defective start device may include:

• Refusal to turn on or respond to settings adjustments
• Slow or ineffective cooling inside cabinets    
• Lack of airflow circulation or interior lighting

Causes could be worn-out solenoid coils preventing magnetic attraction over extended use, loose wiring inhibiting communication with control boards, or moisture infiltration shortening the starting mechanism.   

Replacing with this genuine GE start device restores dependable appliance routines. Compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore side-by-side models, it supports reliable refrigerator functioning for years.

This evaporator fan blade assembly circulates cold air across the freezer evaporator to help maintain even temperatures and proper cooling. Replacing a damaged or worn blade restores airflow for more consistent refrigerator performance. What it does:

• Spins behind the evaporator to move cold air through the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
• Helps prevent uneven cooling and warm spots caused by reduced airflow.
• Common symptoms indicating replacement: loud or scraping noises from the freezer, no airflow from vents, or excessive frost/ice on the evaporator.
• Works with the existing motor shaft and mounting hardware when compatible.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Access commonly requires removing the freezer evaporator cover and any shelving or drawers in the path.
• Handle the plastic blade carefully to avoid cracking or bending; ensure it spins freely on the motor shaft before reassembly.
• After installation, restore power and verify proper airflow and quiet operation; defrost any ice buildup before reinstalling covers if necessary.

This 18-inch full-width glass shelf replaces a cracked, chipped or missing refrigerator shelf to restore usable storage and a clean interior look. Tempered glass offers a flat, easy-to-clean surface for food and containers. What it does:

• Provides a sturdy, level surface for storing food and containers
• Replaces shelves that are cracked, broken, chipped or missing
• Helps contain spills and makes interior cleaning easier
• Restores correct spacing and support for adjustable shelving layouts

• Handle tempered glass carefully and wear cut-resistant gloves to avoid injury

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 wheel cover replaces the small plastic cap that snaps onto the wheel assembly of a refrigerator vegetable/produce pan, protecting the roller and helping the drawer slide smoothly. It prevents rubbing and keeps the pan aligned. What it does:
