This evaporator is the sealed refrigeration coil assembly used in many side-by-side refrigerators to remove heat and help keep the freezer and fresh-food compartments cold. Replacing a failing evaporator restores proper cooling and frost control. What it does:

• Circulates refrigerant through the freezer compartment to absorb heat and maintain low temperatures
• Allows the defrost system to melt frost from the evaporator surface during defrost cycles
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer, poor or uneven cooling, and frequent running of the compressor
• Works with the evaporator fan and defrost components to support normal refrigerator operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• This is a sealed-system component; avoid opening refrigerant lines
• Inspect surrounding gaskets, mounting clips, and defrost components during replacement and replace as needed
• Follow OEM service instructions for proper routing, mounting, and leak testing after installation

This nylon hinge arm secures and guides a refrigerator/freezer door, providing smooth pivoting and reliable door alignment to help prevent sagging and uneven seals. Durable nylon resists wear at hinge contact points. What it does:

• Supports the door at the hinge pivot to maintain proper alignment and sealing
• Reduces metal-on-metal wear by providing a low-friction contact surface
• Helps stop door sag and uneven closing that can lead to poor sealing
• Works with the hinge assembly to enable smooth opening and closing

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power before starting repairs
• Support the door while removing or installing hinge components to prevent movement or injury
• Basic hand tools are typically required; avoid overtightening fasteners

This bottom hinge bushing helps the appliance door pivot smoothly and reduces wear where the hinge pin contacts the frame. Replacing a worn or cracked bushing restores proper door movement and alignment. What it does:

• Guides the door hinge pin and keeps the door aligned while opening and closing
• Reduces metal-on-metal wear and prevents grinding or catching at the hinge
• Commonly replaced if you notice door sag, uneven closing, or visible bushing damage
• Simple, low-cost part that prevents further hinge or cabinet damage when replaced

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Support or secure the door when removing hinge pins or fasteners to prevent injury or damage
• Remove the hinge pin or hinge assembly per the service diagram to access and replace the bushing
• Inspect hinge pin and surrounding components for wear; replace if damaged. Avoid petroleum-based lubricants on plastic bushings

This defrost heater melts frost and ice buildup on the evaporator coils so the refrigerator can maintain proper cooling and airflow. It restores the defrost function that prevents ice blockages and inefficient cooling. What it does:

• Provides heat along the evaporator to remove accumulated frost and ice
• Helps maintain normal airflow and temperature by keeping coils clear
• Often used when frost accumulates on the evaporator or freezer cooling is reduced
• Works with the defrost thermostat and control to cycle only when needed

• One defrost heater assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access typically requires removing interior panels or the evaporator cover; handle fins carefully to avoid damage
• Inspect defrost thermostat/thermistor and wiring while panels are open; replace any faulty components as needed

This small replacement button glide restores smooth, reliable button movement on the appliance control panel, helping buttons press and release correctly for consistent operation. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction surface for control panel buttons to slide on
• Helps prevent buttons from sticking, binding, or feeling uneven
• Restores proper seating and tactile feedback for worn or damaged buttons
• Useful when buttons wobble, catch, or fail to make consistent contact

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit breaker) before servicing the control panel
• Typically accessible from the front control bezel; remove trim or key assembly as needed
• Handle small plastic parts carefully to avoid breaking tabs; reassemble trim in original order

This base shaft is the support shaft that helps the washer's tub or drum stay aligned and rotate smoothly. Replacing a worn shaft restores proper drum support and reduces noise, wobble, and uneven operation. What it does:

• Provides a stable pivot and support for the tub/drum during operation
• Transfers rotational force from the drive components to the drum assembly
• Prevents excessive wobble, vibration, and metal-on-metal contact when intact
• Worn or damaged shafts can cause noise, drum misalignment, or premature bearing wear

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; follow all safety precautions
• Replacement typically requires removing the cabinet and drum assembly for access
• Inspect adjacent bearings, seals, and mounting hardware and replace if worn
• Use appropriate tools and follow the OEM service manual

Replacement screw that secures panels and internal components, helping stop rattles and keep parts aligned. Use it to replace stripped, rusted, or missing fasteners and restore a secure fit. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, or internal parts to prevent movement and vibration.
• Replaces worn, corroded, or missing screws that cause loose panels or rattling.
• Restores proper alignment for doors, covers, and mounted components.
• Provides a simple hardware fix that helps maintain safe, stable operation.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal components.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head; apply firm but controlled torque.
• Verify screw length, head style, and thread type match the original before installation.
• If threads are damaged, replace with a matching OEM screw rather than over-tightening.

This rear wheel assembly replaces a worn or broken refrigerator drawer roller to restore smooth, stable movement and proper drawer alignment. It helps prevent sticking, scraping, and uneven wear on the drawer track. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged rear roller so the drawer opens and closes smoothly
• Keeps the drawer aligned and prevents it from binding or tilting
• Reduces scraping and uneven wear on the drawer and track
• Supports normal load on the rear of the drawer for stable operation

• Remove drawer contents and slide the drawer out according to your appliance manual before starting
• Inspect the front and rear tracks; replace only the damaged roller(s) and test drawer movement after installation
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts
• No special wiring or electronic handling required; follow general safety precautions

The Evaporator is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for removing heat from the refrigerator and maintaining the desired temperature.

A bad evaporator can occur due to factors such as refrigerant leaks, frost buildup, or damage to the coils. If you notice symptoms such as inadequate cooling, excessive frost in the freezer, or unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, it may indicate a faulty or malfunctioning evaporator.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator include:

• Inadequate cooling or inconsistent temperature control
• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator

Restore your refrigerator by replacing the faulty evaporator with this genuine OEM part.

This GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
