This cover cap protects and finishes a CMT assembly opening, keeping internal components shielded from dirt, moisture and accidental contact. It restores the original look and helps maintain proper operation. What it does:

• Covers and protects exposed openings on the CMT assembly
• Keeps dust, debris and moisture out of internal components
• Prevents accidental contact with underlying parts or connections
• Restores the appliance's finished appearance after service

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before servicing
• Remove surrounding trim or fasteners as needed to access the mounting location
• Handle carefully to avoid cracking plastic; align and press or fasten per OEM locations
• If any clips or screws are damaged, replace them to ensure secure fit

This hinge stop secures and limits door movement for proper alignment and safe operation, helping prevent over-travel and wear on the hinge assembly. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore correct door stopping action. What it does

• Acts as the mechanical stop that limits door swing to the intended opening angle.
• Restores proper door alignment when the hinge no longer catches or the door swings too far.
• Helps reduce stress and wear on hinge pins and mounting points.
• Common symptom: door drifts past the closed/stop position or hangs unevenly.

• One hinge stop

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work when applicable.
• Access may require removing door trim or covers; keep fasteners organized.
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing components to prevent damage.

This probe cover protects the oven/dishwasher temperature sensor from moisture, food debris and mechanical damage so the sensor can give consistent temperature readings for reliable cooking and wash cycles. What it does

• Shields the temperature sensor/probe from direct contact with food, liquids and steam
• Helps maintain accurate temperature sensing to avoid incorrect cycle behavior or temp-related error codes
• Prevents corrosion and wear that can lead to intermittent readings or sensor failure
• Supports stable operation of the appliance's temperature-control system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal components
• Handle the temperature sensor and wiring gently—do not pull on wires or bend the sensor
• Ensure the cover is seated fully over the probe and secured according to the appliance's service diagram
• If you see damage to the sensor, wiring or connector, replace the damaged components rather than reusing a compromised cover

This plenum assembly routes airflow and seals ventilation passages for proper operation and quiet performance. It replaces a damaged or cracked plenum to restore correct airflow and reduce leaks or abnormal noises. What it does:

• Channels and directs airflow through the appliance's ducting
• Seals gaps to prevent air leaks that can reduce performance
• Helps reduce rattling or whistling caused by a broken or loose plenum
• Supports attached components and maintains proper fit of adjoining parts

• Disconnect power and follow all safety instructions before beginning work
• Inspect mounting tabs and seals during install; replace damaged fasteners or gaskets as needed
• Verify fit and airflow after installation; do not force or modify the part

This switch bracket secures the appliance switch in place, restoring reliable switch alignment and operation. It provides a durable mounting point so switches engage correctly and deliver consistent control. What it does:

• Holds the electrical/mechanical switch in the correct position for reliable actuation
• Helps stop intermittent or failed switch contact caused by loose or damaged mounting
• Supports proper panel or door alignment where the switch interfaces
• Prevents further wear on switch terminals by stabilizing the switch housing

• Disconnect power before beginning any work to avoid electric shock
• Basic hand tools are typically required; retain any original fasteners unless replacing them
• Verify switch alignment and operation after installation; adjust bracket position as needed
• If switch or wiring shows damage, replace or repair those components per OEM guidance

This shoulder bolt secures the dishwasher door strap/hinge area to keep the door aligned and operating smoothly. It replaces a worn or stripped fastener to restore proper door fit and reduce rattling or uneven closing. What it does:

• Fastens the door strap/hinge assembly to the door frame for stable operation
• Maintains correct door alignment to prevent sagging or uneven gaps
• Stops symptoms like loose door movement, rattling, or difficulty latching
• Designed to match the OEM shoulder and thread dimensions for proper fit

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use appropriate hand tools; avoid overtightening the bolt to prevent damage
• Inspect mating parts (strap/hinge) for wear; replace if damaged before reinstalling

This lock washer secures fasteners by biting into the mating surface to resist loosening from vibration and thermal cycling. It's a small but critical retaining part used on appliance assemblies where a secure, vibration-resistant connection is required. What it does

• Provides a spring clamp action that helps keep bolts and screws from backing out under vibration
• Maintains tension on threaded connections during thermal expansion and contraction
• Commonly used on motor mounts, pump assemblies, and panels that experience movement
• Can reduce intermittent electrical/grounding issues caused by loose hardware

• One lock washer

• Inspect threads and mating surfaces; replace any damaged fasteners before installing the washer
• Install with the correct-sized bolt or screw; washer must fit snugly to function properly
• Tighten to manufacturer torque specifications when available; avoid over-tightening
• Disconnect power and follow all safety precautions before servicing the appliance

This is a replacement LIS CMT switch used to restore proper electrical switching for the control module and motor circuits. It helps return normal operation when the original switch is worn or failed. What it does:

• Acts as an electrical switch for the control module and motor circuitry
• Enables the appliance to complete control signals needed for motor or control functions
• Commonly linked to symptoms like no motor response, intermittent operation, or unresponsive controls
• Provides a direct replacement that fits the original mounting and connector arrangement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repairs to avoid shock
• Handle the switch and connectors carefully to avoid damage to terminals or wiring
• Verify connector orientation and secure mounting when installing the new switch

This LIS switch (CMT) is a direct-replacement electrical switch that restores reliable circuit signaling for the appliance control system, helping return proper operation to affected functions. Designed to fit the original mounting and connector layout. What it does:

• Acts as the LIS (logic/interlock/signal) switch that opens or closes an electrical circuit when actuated.
• Restores reliable communication between the door/control assembly and the appliance control board.
• Commonly used to address symptoms such as intermittent operation, failure to start, or unresponsive controls.
• Matches OEM form and connector style for a straightforward replacement.

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before attempting any repair.
• Use basic hand tools; note connector orientation before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
• Handle the switch and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage to terminals or insulation.
