The Light Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It controls the interior light, turning it on when the refrigerator door is opened and off when the door is closed. This ensures proper illumination for visibility when accessing the refrigerator's contents.

A malfunctioning light switch can result from wear and tear, electrical issues, or damage caused by repeated use. Over time, the internal mechanism may fail, or the housing can crack, leading to improper operation.

Symptoms of a bad light switch include:

• Interior light not turning on when the door is opened
• Light staying on even when the door is closed
• Flickering or inconsistent light operation
• Difficulty pressing or releasing the switch

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

Defrost heater that melts frost from the evaporator coil so the refrigerator can maintain efficient cooling. Replacing a failed heater restores normal defrost cycles and helps prevent ice buildup that blocks airflow. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove frost and ice buildup.
• Restores proper airflow and cooling when ice accumulation was restricting the evaporator.
• Common symptoms of a failing heater: visible frost or ice on the evaporator, freezer running warm, or extended run times.
• Works with the appliance's defrost thermostat and control to complete the defrost cycle.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the heating element carefully; avoid bending or damaging the coil or terminals.
• Verify the part number matches your appliance before installation.
• If other defrost components (thermostat, control board, sensors) show signs of failure, inspect and replace them as needed.

This cable clamp secures refrigerator wiring to the cabinet, keeping harnesses organized and protected. Replacing a missing or damaged clamp helps prevent chafing and vibration noise while maintaining proper clearance from fans and other moving components.

• Anchors wire harnesses in their designed routing
• Helps prevent insulation wear from rubbing or vibration
• Keeps wires clear of sharp edges and moving parts
• Common signs it's needed: missing/broken clamp, loose or dangling wires, or new rattling/buzzing noises

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the clamp location and note original wire routing
• Position the clamp and secure with the existing fastener; do not overtighten
• Ensure wires aren't pinched and have clearance from the fan/compressor before restoring power

This power cord assembly supplies electrical power from the wall outlet to your refrigerator. Replace a cut, frayed, or overheated cord to restore safe, reliable operation and eliminate intermittent power loss caused by a damaged cord. What it does:

• Provides the electrical connection between the household outlet and the refrigerator's wiring
• Helps resolve no-power or intermittent power when the cord is moved
• Addresses visible damage such as cuts, cracks, fraying, or a melted/discolored plug
• Mitigates arcing, sparking, or a burning odor originating from the cord or plug area

• One power cord assembly

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Pull the refrigerator forward for access; note the original cord routing and connections
• Install the new cord along the same path and secure any built-in strain relief; ensure the ground connection is properly seated
• Restore power and verify operation

The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part manages the defrost cycle of the fridge and freezer compartments, ensuring that the evaporator coils do not build up excessive frost. 

This cycling is crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures for food preservation and energy efficiency. Over time, the defrost timer can malfunction due to wear, electrical issues, or a buildup of dust and debris, leading to poor performance or failure.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer is not maintaining the set temperature
• The fridge or freezer sections are too warm
• The defrost cycle does not activate, leading to reduced cooling efficiency

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

CW, 2w, 2 1/4" spade terminals

This screw secures panels and components on compatible GE appliances to restore proper fit and reduce vibration. Use it to replace a lost or stripped fastener and keep covers and brackets held firmly in place. What it does:

• Fastens access panels, trim pieces, or internal brackets to maintain proper alignment
• Stops rattling or vibration caused by missing or loose screws
• Restores secure mounting after repair or parts replacement
• Works where the appliance requires a short sheet-metal or machine screw for fastening

• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing panels or performing repairs.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head.
• Hand-start the screw to ensure proper threading; tighten until snug but avoid over-torquing.

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

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.
