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.

This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature and controls power to the defrost heater, shutting it off at the correct point in the cycle. Replacing a failed thermostat helps clear frost and restore stable cooling and airflow.

• Senses evaporator coil temperature in the freezer
• Closes when cold to allow the defrost heater to run; opens as the coil warms to terminate defrost
• Helps prevent excessive frost buildup and maintains proper airflow
• Typical failure signs: heavy frost on the evaporator/back wall, weak airflow, warm fresh-food section, unit runs constantly or never defrosts

• Disconnect power and wear appropriate safety gloves before servicing
• Access the evaporator behind the rear freezer panel; note wire routing and original mounting on the refrigerant tubing
• Install the new thermostat in the same location with firm thermal contact; do not damage coil fins or tubing
• If your model uses spliced leads, use approved connectors and secure all joints; replace all covers before restoring power

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.
