Parts for Ge GBS18HBPABB: 05 - Unit Parts

This fan-mount grommet fits the evaporator or condenser fan assembly to isolate vibration and keep the motor aligned. Replacing a worn grommet can quiet rattles and prevent the fan blade from rubbing the housing. What it does:

• Isolates the fan motor from its bracket to reduce vibration and operating noise
• Helps maintain proper fan motor and blade alignment/clearance
• Replaces cracked, flattened, hardened, or missing grommets
• Typical symptoms: rattling, buzzing, or vibration sounds from the freezer or rear machine compartment

• 1 fan motor grommet

• Disconnect power before servicing; pull the refrigerator forward for rear access if needed
• Evaporator fan: remove the freezer's rear panel; condenser fan: remove the rear service panel
• Support the motor, remove the fan blade and mounting hardware as needed, replace the grommet, and reassemble
• Ensure the fan spins freely and does not contact the shroud before restoring power

The Condenser Fan Blade is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for moving air across the condenser coils to help dissipate heat, allowing the refrigerator to maintain the proper cooling temperature. This fan blade ensures efficient operation of the cooling system by facilitating proper airflow.

You should replace this condenser fan blade if it becomes damaged, warped, or fails to move air effectively. Common causes of a bad fan blade include physical damage from debris, wear and tear over time, or warping due to prolonged exposure to heat.

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan blade include:

• Refrigerator not cooling properly
• Increased noise from the refrigerator
• Overheating of the condenser coils
• Reduced airflow around the condenser area

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

Size: 10-16 ab.

The Fill Tube & Grommet Assembly is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part ensures that water is efficiently and accurately delivered to the ice maker, where it's frozen into ice. 

Causes of a bad Fill Tube & Grommet Assembly can include freezing within the tube, which blocks water flow, physical damage or wear that creates leaks, and deterioration of the grommet, leading to improper sealing and potential water damage.

Symptoms of a bad Fill Tube & Grommet Assembly include:

• Ice maker not producing ice due to lack of water supply
• Water leaking inside the freezer compartment
• Frost or ice formation on the back of the appliance due to leaking water
• Unusual noises as the refrigerator attempts to fill the ice maker

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

This condenser fan mounting bracket secures the condenser fan motor and blade in the correct position to move air across the coils. Replacing a cracked or bent bracket restores stable mounting, reduces vibration, and helps maintain proper condenser airflow.

• Holds the condenser fan motor/blade assembly in alignment for proper airflow through the condenser
• Maintains clearance to prevent the fan blade from rubbing or contacting nearby components
• Helps reduce rattling, vibration, or scraping noises from the rear of the refrigerator
• Damage or misalignment can contribute to restricted condenser airflow and warmer temperatures

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator away from the wall to access the rear service area
• Remove the rear lower access panel; note wiring and hardware locations
• Support the fan motor/blade while removing the old bracket; transfer motor, blade, grommets, and screws to the new bracket
• The fan spins freely with proper clearance and correct airflow direction before reassembly

The Compressor Start Device is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This start device is responsible for powering on and initiating the refrigeration compressor during each cooling cycle. 

Causes of a bad start device can include wear and tear over time, exposure to fluctuations in power or voltage that can damage electronic components, or accidental damage that impairs the device's ability to reliably power the compressor.

Symptoms of a bad start device include: 

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or only cooling intermittently
• The compressor not turning on at all or making unusual sounds when powered on  
• Warm air blowing from vents inside the refrigerator or freezer sections
• Frost or ice building up in areas it typically would not  

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

The Icemaker Fill Cup is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This component is specifically designed to channel water from the fill tube into the ice mold.

Symptoms of a bad Icemaker Fill Cup include:

• Water leakage inside the freezer, leading to ice accumulation
• Inadequate or irregular ice production
• The presence of unusual sounds during the ice-making process

Causes for a malfunctioning Icemaker Fill Cup can range from physical damage, such as cracks or warping due to temperature fluctuations, to blockages that impede the flow of water into the ice mold.

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