Parts for Ge TBX18ZAXBRAA: 06 - Unit Parts

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role in the defrost system by regulating the temperature within the freezer. It ensures the defrost heater activates when the temperature rises above a certain threshold, preventing ice build-up on the evaporator coils and maintaining efficient cooling.

Over time, the defrost thermostat can fail due to electrical issues, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, or wear and tear from regular use. When this part fails, it can lead to improper defrost cycles, causing ice accumulation and reducing the refrigerator's efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• Inconsistent temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartments
• Refrigerator running continuously or not running at all
• Leaking water inside the fridge due to melted ice

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

This cable clamp secures refrigerator wiring to the cabinet, keeping harnesses organized and protected. Replacing a missing or damaged clamp helps prevent chafing and vibration noise while maintaining proper clearance from fans and other moving components.

• Anchors wire harnesses in their designed routing
• Helps prevent insulation wear from rubbing or vibration
• Keeps wires clear of sharp edges and moving parts
• Common signs it's needed: missing/broken clamp, loose or dangling wires, or new rattling/buzzing noises

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the clamp location and note original wire routing
• 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

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:

• Provides the electrical connection between the household outlet and the refrigerator's wiring
• Helps resolve no-power or intermittent power when the cord is moved
• Addresses visible damage such as cuts, cracks, fraying, or a melted/discolored plug
• Mitigates arcing, sparking, or a burning odor originating from the cord or plug area

• One power cord assembly

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Pull the refrigerator forward for access; note the original cord routing and connections
• Install the new cord along the same path and secure any built-in strain relief; ensure the ground connection is properly seated
• Restore power and verify operation

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.

This screw secures panels and components on compatible GE appliances to restore proper fit and reduce vibration. Use it to replace a lost or stripped fastener and keep covers and brackets held firmly in place. What it does:

• Fastens access panels, trim pieces, or internal brackets to maintain proper alignment
• Stops rattling or vibration caused by missing or loose screws
• Restores secure mounting after repair or parts replacement
• Works where the appliance requires a short sheet-metal or machine screw for fastening

• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing panels or performing repairs.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head.
• Hand-start the screw to ensure proper threading; tighten until snug but avoid over-torquing.

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

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.

This overload is a compressor protector that helps stop the compressor from overheating or drawing excessive current, keeping the refrigeration system safer and helping prevent premature compressor failure. What it does:

• Opens the compressor circuit when the compressor overheats or draws excessive current
• Helps protect the compressor motor from damage caused by electrical overloads or locked-rotor conditions
• Works with the start device/relay to allow normal compressor starting and operation
• Commonly used when a compressor fails to start, hums, or trips the circuit

• One overload protector

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service
• Handle the part carefully and avoid bending terminals; secure it per OEM mounting method
• If compressor or start components show damage, inspect/replace those parts as well; consider service for sealed-system diagnosis

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.
