Thermistor
This sensor monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils; if it drifts out of calibration, the control board will not initiate the defrost cycle. This leads to excessive frost accumulation that eventually blocks all airflow to the refrigerator section. Replacing the thermistor restores the board's ability to accurately sense and melt frost.

Fresh Food Evaporator Fan Motor
If the fan motor fails, cold air remains stagnant over the evaporator coils, causing localized freezing and eventual 'ice-over' of the entire assembly. This specific GE motor is prone to failure from moisture-induced electrical shorts within the fan's internal circuitry. A new motor ensures active convection is restored to prevent ice buildup.

Defrost Heater Assembly
The heater is the mechanical heat source responsible for the phase change of frost back into liquid water during the defrost cycle. If the heating element has an open circuit (continuity failure), the frost will never be cleared, resulting in a solid block of ice that prevents any cooling exchange. This component is essential for the periodic removal of latent heat energy from the coils.
