Parts for Ge GFSS6KIXCSS: 09 - Unit Parts

The water filter is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This filter removes or reduces various contaminants.

Features and Benefits:

• Easy DIY replacement, typically mounted inside the refrigerator at the back of the compartment.
• Removes or reduces various contaminants in your water and ice, including lead, cysts, asbestos, atrazine, , taste and odor, chlorine, sediment, turbidity, and more
• NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 standards
• 6 Month lifespan filter
• Carbon Block media
• Micron rating: 0.5-1 micron (Class I)

When to replace your filter:

• Bad taste or odor in water and ice
• Cloudy or discolored ice
• Reduced water flow or pressure
• Refrigerator replace filter indicator light is on

Note: If replacing the Culligan metal canister design filter for the first time, a special adapter, part number AP2615702 is needed, which is not included with this part. The compatible bypass cap is part number AP6891551.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 
 

This wheel axle secures a small drawer, bin, or shelf wheel to its rail or bracket in compatible refrigerators, helping restore smooth gliding and proper alignment when the original axle is worn, cracked, or missing.

• Holds the wheel in place so drawers/bins roll smoothly along their tracks
• Helps maintain alignment and prevents wobble or binding
• Replace if the axle is broken, loose, or the wheel repeatedly falls off
• Symptoms can include stiff or uneven drawer movement, scraping, or a missing wheel/axle

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove food from the affected drawer/bin
• Remove the drawer/shelf to access the wheel and axle
• Use needle-nose pliers to release and remove the damaged axle; align components and press the new axle fully into place
• Inspect the wheel and track; replace any worn parts to ensure smooth operation

This molded rubber condenser grommet cushions and positions the condenser assembly to reduce vibration and wear. It restores proper mounting alignment so the condenser sits securely and operates quietly. What it does:

• Cushions condenser against the cabinet frame to dampen vibration and rattling
• Helps hold the condenser in proper position for correct airflow and clearance
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact that can cause noise or part wear
• Commonly used when the condenser rattles, vibrates, or sits loose after impact or age

• One condenser grommet

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access the condenser from the back or lower rear, remove any service panels as needed
• Remove the old grommet and press the new grommet into place on the condenser mounting post or bracket

This compressor overload is the start-protection device that helps the refrigerator compressor run safely and restart after an overcurrent or overload. Replacing a faulty overload restores reliable compressor starting and helps protect the compressor motor. What it does:

• Protects the compressor by interrupting power during an electrical overload or locked-rotor condition
• Works with the start relay to allow the compressor motor to start and run properly
• Common symptom: refrigerator not cooling because compressor won't start
• Other symptom: humming or buzzing from the compressor or intermittent starting

• One compressor overload (start device)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals carefully; install on the compressor per OEM orientation and secure connections

A replacement compressor mounting bolt that secures the refrigerator compressor to the chassis to help keep the compressor stable and reduce vibration. Direct-fit hardware to restore proper compressor attachment and quiet operation. What it does:

• Fastens the compressor to the refrigerator frame or mounting bracket for secure operation
• Keeps the compressor aligned to prevent movement and reduce vibration-related noise
• Helps maintain a stable seal for connected refrigerant lines by preventing compressor shifting
• Appropriate when original bolt is stripped, corroded, or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Support the compressor or mounting bracket while removing/installing the bolt to prevent strain on lines
• Use correct socket/wrench size and replace with identical hardware; do not overtighten
• Address those issues before reuse

This rubber grommet seals the suction/water pipe where it passes through the appliance cabinet to reduce leaks and dampen vibration. It restores a tight, durable seal to help prevent water intrusion and rattling. What it does:

• Cushions and seals the suction/water pipe where it passes through sheet metal or plastic.
• Reduces vibration and pipe movement that can cause noise or wear.
• Helps prevent water leaks or moisture entry at the cabinet penetration.
• Maintains a proper fit for tubing routing and component alignment.

• One rubber suction pipe grommet.

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing.
• Remove access panels as needed to reach the pipe penetration; press grommet into opening and route pipe through center.
• Replace any brittle, torn, or deformed grommets; do not force a damaged grommet into place.

This PTC-style start relay mounts on the compressor and briefly powers the start winding so the compressor can start reliably. Replacing a weak or heat-damaged relay can restore cooling performance and stop repeated clicking from the compressor area.

• Supplies momentary power to the compressor's start winding at startup
• Opens automatically as the PTC warms, removing the start winding from the circuit
• Symptoms of a failing relay: compressor won't start, repeated clicking/humming, and rising temperatures
• Visual clues can include discoloration, melting, or a burnt odor on the relay housing

• Disconnect power and remove the rear lower access panel to reach the compressor
• Note wire locations and terminal orientation before removal; transfer wires one-for-one
• Push the new relay fully onto the compressor pins until seated securely
• Inspect the overload protector and wire terminals for heat damage; replace any burnt connectors before restoring power
