Parts for Ge TBX18LPARWH: 03 - Section3 Parts

A replacement motor start/run capacitor that helps restore reliable motor starting and smooth operation for compressors and fans. Installing the correct capacitor can reduce hard-starts, humming and intermittent motor operation. What it does:

• Provides the temporary boost motors need to start and stabilize while running.
• Helps compressors and fan motors start more easily and run more efficiently.
• Commonly associated with symptoms like humming, motors that won't start, intermittent operation, or reduced cooling performance.
• Prevents repeated motor stress that can lead to overload trips or premature motor wear.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor and tag/photograph wire locations before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
• Replace with the exact OEM part or an approved equivalent; do not bend or puncture the capacitor can.

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.

This slotted foam plug seals a small access opening in the refrigerator cabinet to help maintain insulation and reduce air and moisture infiltration. It's a simple replacement that restores a tighter cabinet seal and helps the appliance run more efficiently. What it does:

• Blocks service or wiring access holes to help prevent warm air entering the cabinet
• Helps maintain insulation at a penetration point to reduce frost and condensation
• Cushions and stabilizes wiring or tubing routed through the opening
• Reduces noise and vibration where parts pass through the cabinet

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid shock
• Remove the relevant access panel or trim to reach the opening, then press the plug into the hole until seated
• Trim excess foam only if explicitly required for fit; avoid using solvents or adhesives unless specified by OEM
• Replace the plug if torn, compressed, or degraded to maintain proper sealing
