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

This overload protector helps keep the compressor from overheating and allows the fridge to start reliably. It replaces a failed thermal protector so the compressor can engage safely and prevent heat-related damage. What it does:

• Protects the compressor by interrupting current if the motor overheats
• Works with the start device to allow the compressor to start smoothly
• Commonly used when the compressor fails to start, only hums, or the refrigerator stops cooling
• Helps prevent electrical damage caused by repeated overheating or locked-rotor conditions

• One compressor overload protector (single unit)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Mount at the compressor per the original location and secure all electrical connections
• Inspect the start relay and wiring while replacing the overload—replace any damaged parts

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.

This genuine replacement screw secures appliance components and restores proper fit and function. Use it when original fasteners are missing, stripped, or corroded to stop loose panels and rattling and keep parts aligned. What it does

• Fastens panels, brackets, or small components to the appliance frame
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that cause loose trim or rattling noises
• Restores secure fit where threads are stripped or corroded
• Helps prevent further damage from loose parts by maintaining correct alignment

• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Thread and tighten by hand first, then snug — avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Disconnect power to the appliance before working on internal components
• Consider replacing the mating nut or insert for a secure repair

This refrigeration pan catches and channels defrost and condensation water away from the refrigerator cabinet to prevent puddling and redirect it to the evaporator area for evaporation. Durable plastic resists cracking under normal use. What it does:

• Collects defrost and condensation water that drips from the evaporator assembly
• Channels moisture to the evaporator/evaporation area to reduce cabinet leaks
• Helps prevent water damage and puddling inside or beneath the unit
• Fits under the evaporator/coil area and sits in the refrigerator base pan location

• One refrigeration/drip pan

• Inspect and replace only when pan is cracked, melted, or warped and leaking
• Remove power to the appliance before accessing the base area to avoid electrical hazards
• May require removal of front grille or toe plate and tilt/raise fridge for access
• Ensure proper drainage path after install

This suction and cap tube assembly routes refrigerant between the evaporator and compressor, combining the suction line and capillary metering tube for proper refrigeration flow. It's used during sealed-system service to restore correct refrigerant routing. What it does

• Carries low-pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator back to the compressor.
• Houses the capillary (metering) tube that helps regulate refrigerant flow into the evaporator.
• Replaces damaged or corroded suction/small-diameter tubing that can cause cooling loss or system performance issues.

• One suction & cap tube assembly as shown.

• Sealed-system component—installation requires a certified HVAC/refrigeration technician.
• System must be evacuated, brazed or connected per OEM service procedures, leak-tested, and recharged with the correct refrigerant.
• Always disconnect power before service and follow proper safety and refrigerant-handling regulations.
• Not a user-serviceable part; replacing this may require additional sealed-system components or compressor service.

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

The Condenser Coil is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is a part of the refrigeration system responsible for releasing heat from the refrigerator.

A bad condenser coil can occur due to factors such as dirt and debris buildup, damage to the coils, or a malfunctioning condenser fan. If you notice symptoms such as inadequate cooling, excessive heat on the back of the refrigerator, or the condenser fan not running, it may indicate a faulty or malfunctioning condenser coil.

Symptoms of a bad condenser coil include:

• Inadequate cooling or inconsistent temperature control
• Excessive heat on the back of the refrigerator
• Condenser fan not running or running intermittently

Restore your refrigerator by replacing the faulty condenser coil with this genuine OEM part.

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