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:
This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
We replaced the main circuit board and the LED started to work and the condenser fan worked, but all we had were relay clicking sounds, but no cooling. The compressor had become so hot trying to work when the main circuit board was amiss, that it had popped the over temperature sensor on its side. As some one point out, if you remove the PTC+OLP assembly with the capacitor on it, and shake it, you will hear a rattle inside---and that is bad. We ordered a second round of parts from... Read more
Interior light not working when door opens? This light switch controls refrigerator illumination. DIY-friendly install takes 30-45 minutes with video.
I ordered a new switch from APP and fixed my fridge. However, the video posted for this repair on this site is not applicable to newer refrigerator models. I have a 2015 GE GTE18IHCRSS and had to drop the control housing (#432 in the diagram) to attach the wire/plug assembly to the switch. Only had to remove the front screw with a 1/4" nut driver and that provided enough of a gap for me to plug in the switch. So the correct method to replace the light switch in a newer model refrigerator is as... Read more
Ice maker not filling or water dispenser not working? This refrigerator water inlet valve controls water flow to both. DIY install in 10 minutes.
I replaced the water inlet valve. The toughest part was closing off the feed line while I waited for the valve to be delivered. The needle valve used to install the feed line wouldn't close completely. I ended up fabricating a plug from some parts from the hardware store. The mounting bracket on the new valve was completely different from the original, but it still mounted easily enough. The 1/4" plastic hose fitting was a different type from the original, but the hose fitted into it easily... Read more
Refrigerator not cooling or ice building up on evaporator coils? The defrost timer controls the defrost cycle. DIY-friendly, installs in 5 minutes.
We just had the Defrost Timer replaced less than 90 days ago. Called the appliance company who came to diagnose ($109) and it was the same part, (a $34 part). The part was warrantied, but not the service, which was $270. I saw them install the part in July... less than 5 minutes! The company told me that they bill not by time spent on labor, but according to the "national average" for that repair. They wouldn't give me the warrantied new part without doing the labor. I checked with... Read more
Refrigerator not cooling or compressor overheating? The condenser fan motor circulates air through coils to dissipate heat. DIY repair in under 30 minutes.
I googled the issue and read several articles. Most started with cleaning the coils (which mine are on the bottom) (19yr old Kenmore 363.9557812). I had not really ever cleaned them well, vacuuming did little. I had to remove the cardboard cover off the back of the frig, and blew them clean (front to back). Once that was done, I started cleaning from the back and noticed the fan wasn't turning week (condensor fan). Blew it out too, have it a good soon with a pencil, it puffed out a bunch of... Read more
Ice overflowing freezer or ice maker won't shut off? Replace the missing or broken ice bucket. Installs in minutes, no tools required.
I ordered the bucket and it was on my door step the next afternoon, Read more
Plastic water line that connects the water inlet valve to the ice maker. Replace if cracked, leaking, or damaged. Includes installation video.
Replaced original (18 yrs.) 1/4" plastic tubing, clamp and grommet (AppliancePartsPros/GE parts) from outlet of ice maker water control valve to ice maker inlet. Also replaced water supply line to inlet of water control valve with new, GE braided, PEX 1/4" supply line with pre-attached female compression fittings on both ends. Repair job with AppliancePartsPros parts from outlet of water control valve went perfectly well, was simple, and had no leaks when tested. Parts were easy to install,... Read more
Rubber grommet seals the ice maker fill tube where it enters the refrigerator cabinet. Replace if cracked, brittle, leaking, or missing to restore seal.
This icing kit is a factory update designed to reduce frost build-up in the ice/dispenser area. It improves sealing and insulation to help keep the ice path clear and restore reliable dispensing performance.
Firstly, the Ice Door had a kink in the edge, which caused it to stay open and create lots of frost on the coils. $5.00 part, highly recommend it. (By the way, the new door was little too big and it too stay propped open and left a gap so I had to trim the top edge of the rubber with scissors to get it to fully close.) Secondly, there are two heaters for the defrost cycle, one that goes around the coils and another attached to a collector pan beneath the coils. When the cycle hits, those... Read more
Fix ice buildup on freezer walls with a new defrost heater. Solves continuous icing and frost accumulation. Moderate DIY repair for most models.
Freezer not cooling evenly or warm spots in fridge? A cracked evaporator fan blade stops airflow across coils. Simple DIY fix restores proper cooling.
Replaces cracked or broken fan orifice housing on your refrigerator. Mounts between the fan motor and interior panel. Essential when old orifice cracks.
I pulled out the refrigerator and unplugged it. Then removed the top access panel. Unplugged the fan motor then removed the fan orifice. Removed the fan motor from the orifice. Mounted the fan motor on the new orifice and reinstalled the assembly plugging the fan motor back in as well. Replaced the access panel and plugged in the refrigerator. Then pushed the refrigerator back into place. Read more
Replacement mounting screw that secures panels and internal components in your freezer. Replace stripped, rusted, or missing fasteners to restore stability.
Replace a missing, stripped, or damaged activator screw in your refrigerator. This small fastener secures the activator mechanism for proper operation.
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:
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
Fastener baffle for ice maker assembly. Secures baffle component in place. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore proper part alignment.
