WR2X7238 - GE Refrigerator Grommet

This GE Refrigerator Grommet (WR2X7238) is a genuine part manufactured by GE, specifically designed for use in their refrigerators. Compatible with GE appliances, this grommet also known as a "mounting grommet" or "GROMMET MTG," is a crucial component for ensuring proper insulation and sealing. Made of plastic and black in color, it measures 1 inch in diameter and is sold individually. Its collared edge keeps it secure in place, serving not only to hold the compressor firmly but also to prevent vibration, a common cause of noise and potential damage. The grommet's main function is to fit tightly around wires, tubes, or pipes that pass through the refrigerator walls or compartments, creating a watertight and airtight seal. This prevents leaks or moisture from entering or escaping, maintaining optimal cooling and the preservation of food by ensuring desired temperature and humidity levels inside the appliance. Moreover, it acts as a vibration dampener, reducing noise and protecting the wires or tubes from damage due to excessive movement or friction. If you're experiencing issues like leaks or unusual noises coming from your refrigerator, it might be time to check the condition of components like the grommet. Replacing a faulty grommet can help to solve such problems, enhancing the refrigerator's efficiency and reliability. Before purchasing, kindly confirm that this part (WR2X7238) is compatible with your GE appliance's model number.
