Parts for Ge TBX18ZPARWH: 03 - Section3 Parts

This defrost heater kit warms the evaporator during the automatic defrost cycle to melt frost and keep air moving. Replace it when ice builds up on the freezer coils and temperatures rise or airflow is restricted.

• Heats the evaporator coil during defrost to clear accumulated frost/ice
• Helps maintain proper airflow and stable temperatures in both compartments
• Symptoms can include heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator cover, reduced cooling, or fan noise from ice contact
• A failed heater can leave the defrost system unable to clear ice, restricting airflow

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel; safely remove heavy ice before replacement
• Move wires and clips one at a time, routing exactly like the original to avoid pinched or exposed conductors
• After replacement, monitor defrost operation; icing persists, also check the defrost thermostat and control

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to circulate air through the condenser coils, helping to dissipate heat and keep the refrigerator's internal components cool. This ensures efficient operation and prevents the compressor from overheating, which is essential for maintaining the refrigerator's performance and longevity.

You should replace the condenser fan motor if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad fan motor can include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or blockages that cause the motor to overheat or burn out. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to inadequate cooling, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to other refrigerator components.

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor running hot or cycling on and off frequently
• The condenser coils feeling excessively hot

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