• Water leaking from the back or underneath the washing machine,
• Slow or incomplete drainage during or after the wash cycle,
• Visible signs of wear or damage on the hose.

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

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the refrigerator's cooling system by providing the necessary start and run voltage to the compressor. Without a properly functioning run capacitor, your refrigerator may struggle to maintain the desired temperature, leading to spoiled food and inefficient energy use.

Causes of a bad run capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating due to a malfunctioning refrigerator compressor or poor ventilation.

Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:

• The refrigerator compressor fails to start.
• Unusual humming noises coming from the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator cycles on and off more frequently than normal.
• A noticeable increase in energy consumption as the refrigerator struggles to maintain the proper temperature.

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

The Pressure Switch Hose is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It connects the pressure switch to the tub, allowing the switch to monitor the water level within the washing machine. This ensures the proper amount of water is used during each cycle for efficient washing and rinsing.

You should replace this pressure switch hose if it becomes cracked, clogged, or otherwise damaged. Common causes of a bad hose include wear and tear from repeated use, buildup of detergent or debris, and damage from improper handling or installation.

Symptoms of a bad pressure switch hose include:

• Washing machine not filling with water
• Overfilling or underfilling of the tub
• Inaccurate water level detection
• Error codes related to water level issues

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

• Excessive lint buildup around the dryer
• Overheating of the dryer
• Unusual noises during the drying cycle

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

The Foam Duct is an OEM replacment part for GE refrigerators. It is an insulating conduit located within the fresh food compartment that helps direct chilled air circulation from evaporator coils throughout interior shelves and bins. The foam duct plays an important temperature regulation role by strategically venting cool air where needed.

Causes can involve cracks in rigid duct walls, compressed insulation, or obstructions within the airflow pathway restricting proper circulation

Symptoms of a defective duct include:

• Inconsistent temperatures with warmer/colder spots within the fridge
• Frost or ice buildup on interior surfaces away from coils
• Higher energy bills from the compressor overworking to maintain temps

Compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Washer Fill Hoses are OEM parts for various washing machines, specifically designed to transport hot and cold water from the home's supply lines to the washer. These hoses are essential for the proper functioning of the washing machine, ensuring a steady and reliable flow of water during the wash and rinse cycles. Coming in packs of 2, each hose measures 5 ft.

This is an authentic OEM replacement waveguide sourced directly from the manufacturer. Waveguides are used in microwave ovens to help transmit the radiation throughout the microwave's inner cavity. The waveguide also protects the microwave's inner parts from damage due to steam or spattering food during operation. If the waveguide breaks or cracks, as can happen to plastic parts over time, it should be replaced to protect the mechanical workings of the microwave. Although the microwave can be used without the waveguide, it is not recommended.The waveguide is located inside the cooking area of the microwave over the control panel. It is a thin piece of material that may resemble cardboard. To start, disconnect the microwave from the wall outlet and use a screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the waveguide in place. Discard the broken waveguide and use the screws from the original waveguide to install the new one. Plug the microwave back into the outlet. This waveguide is made of durable plastic and is sold individually. This waveguide does not come with screws. It is designed for use in microwave ovens manufactured by General Electric.

This drain inlet hose carries wastewater through the washer's internal drain path during drain and spin cycles. Replacing a cracked, kinked, or leaking hose helps restore proper draining and protect floors and nearby components from water damage. What it does:

• Routes drain water between internal components to the drain outlet
• Maintains a sealed flow path to help prevent leaks
• Common symptoms: water on the floor during/after draining, standing water left in the tub, visible cracks/bulges/kinks on the hose
• May clog with debris, restricting flow and causing slow or no drain

• 1 drain inlet hose

• Unplug the washer and shut off water supply before servicing
• Have towels or a shallow pan ready; residual water may spill when hoses are removed
• Note hose routing and clamp positions; ensure the new hose is fully seated and not twisted or kinked
• After installation, run a quick drain/spin and check all connections for leaks

The duct foam assembly insulates and seals the refrigerator's air duct to keep cold air moving efficiently between compartments. Replacing worn or missing foam helps restore airflow control, reduce moisture at the vent, and stabilize temperatures.
