• Commonly used when you see repeated frost on coils, ice on the evaporator, or poor cooling performance.
• Works with the existing defrost control/thermostat to run only during defrost cycles.

• One defrost heater assembly

• Disconnect power before accessing the evaporator compartment or any wiring.
• Install requires removing interior liners or evaporator cover—follow your model's service manual.
• Inspect and test the defrost thermostat and bi-metal or control board if the heater failed; replace as needed.
• Avoid touching the heater element or bending evaporator fins; handle components carefully.

The R134 Drier is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component plays a critical role in the refrigeration system by removing moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, ensuring efficient cooling and preventing damage to other parts of the system. It helps maintain the purity and effectiveness of the refrigerant as it cycles through the system.

You should replace the R134 drier if it becomes clogged or damaged. Common causes of a bad drier include wear and tear over time, exposure to moisture, or contamination from other failing components in the refrigeration system.

Symptoms of a bad R134 drier include:

• Reduced cooling efficiency
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Unusual noises from the refrigeration system
• Increased energy consumption
• Refrigerator not maintaining the set temperature

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