The Light Bulb Socket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It holds the light bulb in place within the refrigerator, ensuring a secure connection to provide illumination when the refrigerator door is opened. This socket ensures that the interior light functions correctly, allowing users to see and access food items easily.

Common causes of a bad light bulb socket include electrical issues, such as short circuits, wear and tear from regular use, or physical damage from handling or bulb replacements.

Symptoms of a bad light bulb socket include:

• The refrigerator light flickering or not turning on
• Burn marks or signs of overheating around the socket
• Loose or poor connection with the light bulb
• The light bulb not fitting securely or falling out

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

The Light Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It controls the interior light, turning it on when the refrigerator door is opened and off when the door is closed. This ensures proper illumination for visibility when accessing the refrigerator's contents.

A malfunctioning light switch can result from wear and tear, electrical issues, or damage caused by repeated use. Over time, the internal mechanism may fail, or the housing can crack, leading to improper operation.

Symptoms of a bad light switch include:

• Interior light not turning on when the door is opened
• Light staying on even when the door is closed
• Flickering or inconsistent light operation
• Difficulty pressing or releasing the switch

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

This holder element assembly secures the appliance's heating element in the correct position so the element stays stable for consistent operation and safe performance. It's a direct-fit replacement for worn or damaged holders. What it does:

• Secures and supports the heating element inside the appliance to maintain proper alignment
• Prevents element sagging or contact with other components that can cause noise or arcing
• Helps reduce vibration and movement that can lead to intermittent heating
• Common symptom: visible holder damage, loose or shifted element, unusual noise during operation

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair
• Allow appliance and element to fully cool before handling
• Handle the element and holder carefully to avoid bending or damaging the element

This drip shield deflects and channels condensation and meltwater away from sensitive components to help reduce puddling and ice buildup inside the refrigerator. It's a direct-replacement exterior shield for the evaporator/defrost area. What it does

• Channels defrost meltwater into the drain path to prevent pooling under shelves or crispers.
• Helps reduce ice buildup by directing water away from cold surfaces.
• Protects internal components and wiring from moisture exposure.
