Parts for Ge FUF17CVALWW: 03 - Unit Parts

This styrofoam evaporator insulator fits behind the freezer evaporator to help control airflow and reduce unwanted frost buildup. It helps maintain consistent temperatures and keeps the evaporator cavity better insulated. What it does

• Provides thermal insulation behind the evaporator to reduce heat transfer and limit frost accumulation.
• Directs airflow around the evaporator area for more even cooling performance.
• Helps reduce cycling and run-time caused by excessive frost or uneven cooling.
• Common symptom fixes: excessive frost or ice on the back wall, inconsistent freezer temperatures, or longer-than-normal compressor run times.

• One styrofoam evaporator insulator as pictured.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove/remove freezer panels and the evaporator cover as required to access the evaporator; retain screws and fasteners.
• Fit the insulator around/behind the evaporator per OEM orientation; avoid compressing or tearing the styrofoam.
• Take care not to damage the evaporator fins or tubing during installation; if adhesive or clips are used, replace or secure them as needed.

This styrofoam evaporator insulator cushions and seals the evaporator assembly to help maintain proper airflow and reduce condensation. It replaces damaged or missing insulation to help restore consistent cooling performance and reduce frost buildup. What it does:

• Provides thermal insulation around the evaporator to minimize heat gain and frost formation
• Helps direct airflow over the evaporator for more even cooling
• Reduces vibration noise by cushioning the evaporator housing
• Used when insulation is cracked, torn, missing, or deteriorated

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer/refrigerator evaporator cover per your model's service instructions
• Fit the insulator around the evaporator, avoiding compression or gaps that could reduce effectiveness
• Handle gently—styrofoam can break or crumble; replace any degraded pieces

This 250 VA run capacitor provides the phase shift needed for single-phase appliance motors to start and run efficiently, helping restore reliable motor operation and consistent performance. What it does:

• Supplies the necessary electrical phase shift to support motor starting and continuous operation
• Commonly used with compressor and fan motors in refrigeration and similar appliances
• Fails can cause motor humming, slow or no-start conditions, or intermittent operation
• Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can return normal motor function and reduce stress on the motor

• Disconnect appliance power at the breaker before servicing
• Capacitors can hold charge—discharge safely using insulated tools
• Verify terminal wiring and secure connections; match mounting orientation to the original
