GE Side-By-Side Refrigerator Evaporator Cover Replacement

Giriş

Use this guide to replace the evaporator cover of your freezer.

The evaporator cover helps to channel air from various parts of the refrigerator through the cold evaporator and evaporator fan. It also protects the evaporator and fan from damage. It functions as the rear wall of the freezer compartment and has vents to allow for directed airflow.

The evaporator cover does not usually fail, except if it becomes unfastened, or if it is plastic, it cracks. In such case the airflow will be affected and the cooling ability of the refrigerator will be reduced.

This guide was created using a GE model GSH25KGMB BB side-by-side refrigerator. Other GE side-by-side units should be similar.
