Parts for Ge MSG20GWTCWH: 01 - Section1 Parts

THIS PART HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE

This replacement part is a door hinge, and it is intended for use in different types of appliances. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. This door hinge is typically found in refrigerators or freezers. The hinge is stationed so that the door and the main parts of the appliance are connected and in working order. The door hinge allows the doors to be opened and closed easily and smoothly. There is typically more than one hinge on each door so be sure to purchase the correct amount. A new door hinge might be needed if the current appliance doors are not properly opening and closing. Another way to tell if the hinges are damaged is if the doors are drooping and require a slight lift to be shut. This usually means the hinges are becoming loose and either need to be tightened or replaced altogether. Note that the doors will have to be completely removed to replace this part so the food inside the fridge may go bad during the repair if it takes too long. This is a genuine OEM replacement part and is sold individually.

The Cam Riser is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the door mechanism, helping to lift and align the door as it opens and closes. This ensures the door operates smoothly and maintains a proper seal, which is essential for the efficient functioning of the refrigerator.

Over time, the cam riser can wear out or become damaged. Causes of a bad cam riser can include frequent use, physical damage from heavy door loads, or general wear and tear of the plastic components.

Symptoms of a bad Cam Riser include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the refrigerator door
• The door not staying aligned or sealing properly
• Unusual noises when operating the door

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

The Riser Cam Shim is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part helps in aligning and leveling the refrigerator door, ensuring it opens and closes smoothly.

Symptoms of a bad riser cam shim include:

• The refrigerator door not closing properly
• Difficulty in opening or closing the door
• The door appearing misaligned
• Reduced cooling efficiency due to an improper seal

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

The recess door retainer secures the dispenser's ice chute flapper in the refrigerator door. Replacing a cracked or missing retainer restores proper flapper pivot and sealing to help reduce frost buildup and air leaks around the dispenser.

• Holds the recess/ice door on its pivot within the dispenser assembly
• Helps the flapper close fully to seal the ice chute
• Restores smooth open/close action of the dispenser door
• Common symptoms: loose or fallen flapper, poor chute seal, frost or condensation in the dispenser area, and ice clumping near the chute

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing the dispenser
• Carefully remove the dispenser bezel/control panel to access the ice chute door assembly
• Note spring orientation and retainer position; transfer components to the new retainer
• Verify flapper movement and seal before reassembly and restoring power

The Ice Door Assembly is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is integral to the ice dispenser system, controlling access to the ice chute. This component ensures the efficient delivery of ice cubes or crushed ice when activated and seals off the chute when not in use to maintain the freezer's temperature and prevent frost buildup.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Door Assembly include:

• Frost or ice buildup around the dispenser area
• Ice escaping from the dispenser when not in use
• Failure to dispense ice
• Noise during operation indicating misalignment or malfunction

Causes of a bad Ice Door Assembly can include mechanical wear from frequent use, failure of the spring mechanism or solenoid that operates the door, or damage to the sealing surfaces that leads to air leaks.

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

The Ice Door Spring is an OEM part compatible with GE refrigerators. It is responsible for providing tension and support to the ice chute door, allowing it to open and close smoothly. When you activate the ice dispenser, the spring helps to release the door and allow the ice to pass through. After dispensing, the spring assists in closing the door to prevent cold air leakage and maintain the desired temperature inside the refrigerator.

You should replace the ice door spring if it loses tension or breaks, which can happen due to regular wear and tear, frequent use, or accidental damage. A faulty spring can lead to issues with the ice dispenser's operation and overall efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad ice door spring may include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the ice chute door
• Ice dispensing issues, such as the door not opening when the dispenser is activated
• Cold air leakage from the ice chute area
• Ice buildup on the front of the icemaker

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

Includes 12 screws.

This dispenser crank links the dispenser solenoid and the ice chute door. When you press the dispenser lever, the crank pivots to open and close the ice door so cubes or crushed ice can dispense cleanly without warm air leaking into the freezer.

• Connects the solenoid to the ice chute door to control door movement
• Helps seal the chute when not dispensing to reduce frost and moisture issues
• Common failure signs include ice door not opening/closing, constant frost around chute, or warm/moist air leakage at dispenser
• Can cause ice clumping, frost buildup, or water/ice dispensed irregularly when worn or broken

• Disconnect power before servicing the dispenser area
• Access typically requires removing the dispenser front panel and trim; use care with plastic tabs and wiring
• Note linkage orientation to the solenoid and door flap before removal
• Inspect related parts for wear while open

The Refrigerator Union Connector is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for connecting the water supply lines from the kitchen plumbing to the refrigerator, allowing water to flow to the ice maker and water dispenser. The plastic connector assists your water dispenser by joining two 5/16 inch x 5/16 inch plastic water lines. Over time, Union Connectors can crack or break under pressure. 

Causes of a bad Union Connector include wear and tear from repeated use, exposure to extreme fluctuations or surges in water pressure, or damage from accidental mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad Refrigerator Union Connector include:

• Water leaks at or near the connector area 
• Inconsistent or no water flow to the ice maker/dispenser
• Fluctuations in water pressure to the fridge
• Water damage to surrounding kitchen areas from leaks

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