Parts for Ge AZ41E09DABW3: 04 - Unit Parts

A rubber compressor cushion that isolates the compressor from the refrigerator chassis to reduce vibration and prevent metal-on-metal contact. Replaces worn or missing cushions to help minimize noise and vibration transfer. What it does:

• Cushions the compressor to dampen vibration and reduce rattling or buzzing noises.
• Keeps the compressor from directly contacting the cabinet, preventing wear and chafing.
• Helps maintain proper compressor positioning and reduces stress on mounting components.
• Common symptom: increased compressor noise or vibration, or visible worn/deteriorated cushion.

• One compressor cushion (rubber mount).

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Support the compressor or secure the unit when removing/replacing mounts to avoid strain.
• Remove the old cushion and press the new cushion into place; no refrigerant handling required.
• Use basic hand tools and wear gloves.

A compressor protector that helps prevent compressor damage by interrupting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current. Replaces a failed protector to restore proper compressor protection and help avoid costly compressor replacement. What it does:

• Senses excessive heat or current at the compressor and opens the circuit to stop the compressor from running.
• Helps prevent compressor burnout and wiring damage caused by overheating or locked-rotor conditions.
• Common symptom linkage: refrigerator runs but cooling is poor or compressor will not start and only hums intermittently.
• Works with the compressor start system to improve reliability when the protector is functioning correctly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Mount and connect the protector to the compressor terminals exactly as the original part was installed.
• Handle terminals carefully to avoid bending or damaging compressor leads.
• If the compressor or start components show other signs of failure, inspect the start relay, overload, and wiring; replace any damaged parts.

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that helps the control board monitor and regulate cooling for consistent food temperatures. It replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature readings and stable cooling cycles. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and sends a signal to the control board for proper compressor and damper control
• Helps the refrigerator maintain set temperatures and prevents overcooling or warming
• Can cause temperature fluctuations, long run times, or incorrect defrost cycles when failing
• Works with the control system to enable accurate temperature-based operations

• One thermistor temperature sensor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Handle sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on wires or bending the probe sharply
• Install in the same location and orientation as the original sensor for correct readings
