• Matches OEM fit for reliable fastening where the original screw was used

• One replacement screw

• Use the correct-size screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Power off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal components
• Tighten snugly but avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage
• Keep removed hardware organized so you can install replacements in the original locations

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure panels, trim, and small components on compatible appliances. It provides a simple, durable fix when original fasteners are missing or damaged. What it does:

• Secures control panels, trim pieces, brackets, or other appliance components
• Restores proper fit and prevents rattling or loose parts
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded screws to maintain safe operation
• Works wherever the OEM-specified screw is required by the manufacturer

• One replacement screw

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid striping the head
• Keep small parts away from children and pets; store extras in a safe place

The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part manages the defrost cycle of the fridge and freezer compartments, ensuring that the evaporator coils do not build up excessive frost. 

This cycling is crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures for food preservation and energy efficiency. Over time, the defrost timer can malfunction due to wear, electrical issues, or a buildup of dust and debris, leading to poor performance or failure.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer is not maintaining the set temperature
• The fridge or freezer sections are too warm
• The defrost cycle does not activate, leading to reduced cooling efficiency

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

This defrost thermostat is a clip-on, bi-metal safety control for the freezer evaporator. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper automatic defrost, helping prevent heavy frost buildup and temperature swings in the fresh food section.

• Monitors evaporator coil temperature and opens the defrost circuit when the coil warms to the cutoff point
• Helps prevent excessive frost that restricts airflow and reduces cooling performance
• Common failure symptoms: persistent frost on the evaporator, poor cooling/warm fridge, unit running longer than normal, or defrost heater staying on too long
• Mounts on the evaporator tubing; closes when cold and opens as the coil warms during defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing; use proper PPE
• Access the evaporator by removing the rear freezer panel
• Note wiring positions; make secure, insulated connections per appliance service guidelines
• Clip the thermostat firmly to the same coil location/orientation for accurate sensing and reassemble panels before restoring power

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the refrigerator's cooling system by providing the necessary start and run voltage to the compressor. Without a properly functioning run capacitor, your refrigerator may struggle to maintain the desired temperature, leading to spoiled food and inefficient energy use.

Causes of a bad run capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating due to a malfunctioning refrigerator compressor or poor ventilation.

Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:

• The refrigerator compressor fails to start.
• Unusual humming noises coming from the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator cycles on and off more frequently than normal.
• A noticeable increase in energy consumption as the refrigerator struggles to maintain the proper temperature.

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

This PTC start relay mounts on the refrigerator compressor and briefly energizes the start winding, then automatically opens as it warms. Replacing a weak relay helps restore reliable compressor starts and consistent cooling. What it does:

• Provides momentary power to the compressor's start winding at startup; the PTC element opens as it heats
• Helps ensure smooth compressor starts and reduces repeated start attempts
• Signs of a failed start device can include no cooling because the compressor won't run
• Clicking or buzzing from the compressor area every few minutes
• Compressor starts intermittently or stops shortly after starting

• Includes: 1 PTC start relay

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator forward to access the rear service area
• Remove the rear panel to reach the compressor compartment
• Unplug the wire harness and pull the old relay straight off the compressor terminals; note its orientation
• Push the new relay fully onto the compressor prongs, reconnect the harness, reinstall the panel, and restore power

This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.
