The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It regulates the temperature of the defrost cycle by sensing the temperature of the evaporator coils and signaling the defrost heater to turn on or off. This helps prevent ice buildup on the coils, ensuring efficient cooling and proper refrigerator operation.

You should replace this defrost thermostat if it fails to regulate the defrost cycle correctly. Common causes of a bad thermostat include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or damage from temperature fluctuations.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• Refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• Defrost cycle not activating
• Water leaking inside the refrigerator

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

The Left Hand Slide Assembly is an OEM component for GE bottom-mount refrigerators. It sits on the left side and smoothly guides the refrigerator shelf inserts in and out. This slide measures Approx 10 inches x 1 3/8 inch x 1 5/16 inch.

Symptoms of a faulty slide assembly include:

• Shelves difficult to fully extend or retract
• Grinding or rubbing noises from the shelf area 
• Visible signs of wear to plastic rollers and tracks

Causes relate to typical wear and tear over time under regular use. Improper loading of shelves can also potentially damage slide machinery.

For the right hand side order WR72X242. For the slide bearing order WR1X2048.

This GE replacement restores smooth shelf functionality, compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore models as well.

The Slide Bearing is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This small but crucial component is typically located on the rails of refrigerator drawers, allowing them to slide in and out smoothly without sticking or jamming. The slide bearing helps reduce friction between the drawer and the frame, protecting the refrigerator's structure from wear and tear while ensuring a quieter, more efficient operation. 

Symptoms of a failing slide bearing include:

• Drawers becoming difficult to open or close
• Squeaking noises during drawer movement
• Increased resistance or jerking when pulling out the refrigerator drawers

Causes of slide bearing deterioration typically involve accumulation of food particles or debris, general wear from frequent use, or inadequate lubrication leading to increased friction and eventual wear out.

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

Symptoms include: 

• Abnormal sounds like knocking or clunking from inside the walls  
• cold spots developing in certain freezer areas
• Higher power bills from inefficient temperature regulation
• Frost or ice patches forming on evaporator coils

This part is also compatible with some brands like Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.

The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is an important supply line that delivers water from the main water source to the icemaker component. The water line allows water to flow smoothly, facilitating the icemaking process.  

Causes of a bad water line can include cracks or punctures from impact or bending, mineral deposits and corrosion building up inside the line restricting flow, or improper connection fittings causing leakage.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Irregular or insufficient ice production  
• No water delivery to the icemaker despite activation
• Noticeable leaks or drips near the water line attachment points
• Strange knocking or hammering sounds are heard when the icemaker is running

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some 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 Water Valve and Bracket Kit is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It includes a water valve and a mounting bracket designed to facilitate the connection and operation of your refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser system. This part controls the flow of water into the refrigerator, ensuring that both the ice maker and water dispenser receive the proper amount of water at the correct pressure.

Causes of a bad Water Valve and Bracket Kit can include mineral deposits from hard water, which can clog or damage the valve, and normal wear that might cause the valve to leak or fail to open or close properly.

Symptoms of a bad Water Valve and Bracket Kit include:

• No water output from the dispenser
• Slow or no ice production
• Water leakage around the refrigerator
