WR02X12256 - GE Refrigerator Spring

The GE Refrigerator Spring (WR02X12256) is a genuine part designed by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), GE. This component is compatible with various GE refrigerator models. The spring, sometimes referred to as a tension spring, plays a crucial role in the overall operation of your appliance.

In a refrigerator, springs serve multiple purposes such as providing flexible suspension, ensuring tension, sealing, establishing electrical connections, and sensing. For instance, door hinges and latch mechanisms depend on springs for their closing force. Suspension springs help to isolate vibration, while contact springs maintain electrical continuity. Sensing springs are used to check door closure, and torsion springs store rotational energy. Door gaskets use spring tension for effective sealing.

If your refrigerator's components like ice makers and latches are failing, it could be due to overtaxed or broken springs. It's essential to replace worn springs with ones that have equivalent ratings to ensure the proper functioning of your appliance.

Please note that the specific location and function of this spring may vary based on your refrigerator's model number. Therefore, it is advised to verify your device's model number for compatibility before purchasing the GE Refrigerator Spring (WR02X12256).
