Parts for Ge GTS18TCSACC: 05 - Unit Parts

This compressor cover plate protects the refrigerator compressor and related components from debris while helping direct airflow. It's a factory-design replacement that restores the original protective housing and fit. What it does:

• Shields the compressor and base area from dust, debris, and accidental contact
• Helps maintain proper airflow around the compressor for consistent operation
• Reduces risk of damage to wiring and fittings in the compressor compartment
• Can eliminate rattling or contact noise when a damaged cover is replaced

• One compressor cover plate

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Handle edges carefully; part may have sharp metal edges
• Remove and reinstall mounting screws; retain existing fasteners unless new ones are specified

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM replacement part for GE bottom-mount refrigerator models. Located behind the rear refrigerator panel, it powers the critical evaporator fan circulating airflow within the sealed system.

Symptoms of a bad motor include:

• Elevated compressor run times from lack of air movement
• Inability to maintain proper interior temperatures
• Abnormal compressor cycling patterns

Causes can involve normal wear over extended use taxing motor windings, accumulation of dirt interfering with operation, or damage sustained during maintenance or repairs.

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

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It plays an important role in allowing the refrigerator's compressor to power on. The start relay controls the initial energizing of the compressor until the control circuit signals it to remain powered.

Causes of a bad start relay can include failure over many power cycling events or damage to its internal electrical components. Without a properly functioning start relay, the compressor will not receive the signal needed to turn on.

Symptoms of a bad start relay include:

• The refrigerator fails to cool and the compressor remains inactive  
• Abnormally long cool-down times after door openings
• Fluctuating interior temperatures

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

The R134 Drier is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component plays a critical role in the refrigeration system by removing moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant, ensuring efficient cooling and preventing damage to other parts of the system. It helps maintain the purity and effectiveness of the refrigerant as it cycles through the system.

You should replace the R134 drier if it becomes clogged or damaged. Common causes of a bad drier include wear and tear over time, exposure to moisture, or contamination from other failing components in the refrigeration system.

Symptoms of a bad R134 drier include:

• Reduced cooling efficiency
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• Unusual noises from the refrigeration system
• Increased energy consumption
• Refrigerator not maintaining the set temperature

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

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the refrigerator’s ice maker and water dispenser. The valve opens and closes to allow the right amount of water to fill the ice maker tray or to dispense water from the refrigerator door.

Over time, the water inlet valve can wear out or become damaged due to mineral deposits, corrosion, or electrical issues. A faulty valve can lead to problems with the water supply, affecting the refrigerator’s ability to produce ice or dispense water properly.

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

• No water or ice production
• Water dispenser not working
• Leaks or drips around the valve or inside the refrigeratorStrange noises coming from the valve area

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