The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role in the defrost system by regulating the temperature within the freezer. It ensures the defrost heater activates when the temperature rises above a certain threshold, preventing ice build-up on the evaporator coils and maintaining efficient cooling.

Over time, the defrost thermostat can fail due to electrical issues, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, or wear and tear from regular use. When this part fails, it can lead to improper defrost cycles, causing ice accumulation and reducing the refrigerator's efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• Inconsistent temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartments
• Refrigerator running continuously or not running at all
• Leaking water inside the fridge due to melted ice

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Screw Package is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It contains a pack of 12 identical screws for miscellaneous securing and assembly needs.

These screws play a supporting role, helping attach shelf tracks, cover panels, door hinges, and other interior parts. By maintaining components securely in place, they help ensure smooth operation and prevent rattling or other noises. 

Symptoms of insufficiently secured parts include:

• Noises heard from loose shelves or door components  
• Detaching handles, hinges, or panels
• Shelves shifting positions or becoming misaligned

Causes of needing replacement screws can include loss, stripping, or wear over time from repeated securement and removal of parts during cleaning or repairs. 

This multipack of GE screws is perfect for minor refrigerator maintenance or to stock up on extras. They are also compatible with replacement hardware from Hotpoint, RCA, and certain Kenmore models. 

The Ice Maker Fill Tube Grommet is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This grommet creates a seal between the ice maker fill tube and the refrigerator, preventing leaks and ensuring that water is properly directed into the ice maker during the filling process.

Causes of a bad grommet can include regular wear and tear, damage from exposure to freezing and thawing cycles, or degradation from exposure to water and moisture.  

Symptoms of a bad ice maker fill tube grommet include:

• Water leaks around the ice maker fill tube area
• Ice maker not producing ice properly
• Visible cracks or deformation in the grommet
• Water pooling inside or around the refrigerator

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This evaporator fan motor dust cap is an authentic OEM replacement part found on refrigerator and freezer fan motors. This dust cap prevents the fan motor bearing and housing from being damaged by dirt and debris. If the dust cap is cracked or broken, the fan may make loud squealing noises. If the dust cap is not removed and replaced, the fan could stop working and ultimately cause the refrigerator's temperature to be affected. To start, disconnect the power and water to the refrigerator. Remove food from the freezer so that the back panel of the freezer can be accessed to reach the fan. Remove the ice maker and set it outside the freezer. Disconnect the fan and take it out of the freezer to expose the fan's shaft and the dust cover. Pry the dust cover off and install the new one. Replace the fan and cover. Reconnect the wires and reinstall the icemaker. Put the food back in the freezer. Reconnect the power and water.The evaporator fan motor dust cap is a white plastic part that is sold individually. This dust cover is made for use in refrigerators manufactured by General Electric, Hotpoint, and Kenmore.

The Defrost Timer is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It automatically initiates timed defrost cycles to prevent the buildup of frost or ice within the refrigerator compartment and freezer coils. Regular defrosting maintains optimal temperature regulation and airflow while minimizing mineral deposits long-term.  

Symptoms of a bad defrost timer include:

• Inability to initiate automatic defrost functions
• Accumulation of excessive frost or ice buildup risking freezer damage    
• Temperature control or airflow issues disrupting refrigeration  
• Potential dripping or leaks from defrost water overflow

Causes of failure involve worn-out internal contacts or degraded electronic components from extended exposure to refrigerated conditions. Mineral residue accumulating within the timer mechanism over many years also risks impeding electrical connections.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore refrigerators. 

The Freezer Door Gasket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This gasket forms a seal around the freezer door, keeping cold air inside and preventing warm air from entering, which helps to maintain the optimal temperature and efficiency of the freezer.

Causes of a bad freezer door gasket can include regular wear and tear, mold or mildew buildup, and physical damage from repeated opening and closing of the door.  

Symptoms of a bad freezer door gasket include:

• Frost buildup inside the freezer
• The freezer running more frequently to maintain temperature
• Difficulty keeping the door closed or it not sealing properly
• Visible cracks, tears, or deformation in the gasket

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This PTC start relay mounts on the refrigerator compressor and briefly energizes the start winding, then automatically opens as it warms. Replacing a weak relay helps restore reliable compressor starts and consistent cooling. What it does:
