This defrost heater and bracket assembly mounts at the evaporator and melts frost during the automatic defrost cycle. Restoring airflow across the coils helps bring temperatures back to normal and keeps your refrigerator cooling efficiently.

• Heats the evaporator during defrost to clear frost and ice buildup
• Helps prevent heavy frost on the freezer back wall and improves airflow
• Supports stable refrigerator and freezer temperatures
• Failure symptoms include thick frost on the evaporator cover, warmer fresh-food section, evaporator fan hitting ice, or frequent manual defrosting

• Disconnect power before servicing; use gloves and eye protection
• Remove the freezer's rear interior panel to access the evaporator
• Route wiring and position the heater and bracket exactly as the original; transfer any clips/shields
• After installation, inspect related defrost components (thermostat and control) if defrost issues persist

This refrigerator defrost thermostat monitors the evaporator temperature and shuts the defrost heater off once the ice has melted. Replacing a failed thermostat restores automatic defrost, reducing frost buildup and helping maintain steady, reliable cooling.

• Senses evaporator coil temperature during defrost cycles
• Opens to terminate the heater when the coil warms; closes when cold for the next cycle
• Helps prevent overheating during defrost and ice accumulation on the evaporator
• Helps if you notice heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator, poor airflow, warming temps, or prolonged/absent defrost cycles

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate safety gear
• Access the evaporator behind the freezer's rear panel; clear ice as needed
• Mount the thermostat in the same position on the evaporator tubing and make secure, insulated wire connections; route wires away from sharp edges and heat sources
• Restore power and monitor the next defrost cycle for proper operation

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:

• 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

The Condenser Fan Motor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to circulate air through the condenser coils, helping to dissipate heat and keep the refrigerator's internal components cool. This ensures efficient operation and prevents the compressor from overheating, which is essential for maintaining the refrigerator's performance and longevity.

You should replace the condenser fan motor if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad fan motor can include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or blockages that cause the motor to overheat or burn out. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to inadequate cooling, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to other refrigerator components.

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor running hot or cycling on and off frequently
• The condenser coils feeling excessively hot

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