WR17X25027 General Electric Refrigerator Center Mullion Assembly

Refrigerator Center Mullion Assembly.

This part is compatible with several GE brands, including Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. The center mullion serves as an essential component for sealing the gap between the refrigerator's double doors. Located at the juncture where the doors meet, this OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part includes a heated strip to minimize condensation and a flexible flap to enhance the seal.

The primary function of the mullion is to maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels within the refrigerator by ensuring the doors close tightly. This tight seal is crucial for keeping the interior cold, blocking warm air from entering, and thus preventing food from spoiling prematurely. It also plays a role in reducing the refrigerator's energy usage by maintaining efficient operation.

Issues that this mullion assembly resolves include:

- Leakage of warm air when doors are supposed to be sealed.
- Build-up of condensation or frost inside the refrigerator.
- Early spoilage of food due to poor sealing.
- Higher energy use and lower appliance efficiency.

Additionally, this GE part is suitable for use in appliances from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears.
