Refrigerator Dispenser Water Tube Heater – GE
The dispenser water tube heater prevents the water fill tube from freezing in the freezer compartment, ensuring water flows freely to the dispenser. When it fails, the fill tube ices over and water stops dispensing. This direct-replacement heater restores freeze-free water delivery to the dispenser.
