WR17X12873 General Electric Grill Recess

This product is a black Grill Recess, designed as an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators that have an external dispenser. It also fits models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore with a similar dispenser setup. The Grill Recess serves to neatly cover the grille and surrounding area of the ice and water dispenser, concealing any internal mechanisms.

Common issues that may necessitate the replacement of the grill recess include warping or denting, often due to accidental impacts. Additionally, frequent use of the refrigerator can lead to wear and tear on the mounting tabs.

If your grill recess is failing, you might notice gaps around its edges that could let in warm air, unusual noises from the dispenser area, or problems with the refrigerator door sealing correctly. Replacing a damaged or worn-out grill recess helps maintain the functionality and appearance of your refrigerator's dispenser area.
