This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, and components inside appliances. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a snug, rattle-free fit using the correct #8-18 thread and 5/8-inch length.

• Fastens covers, trims, brackets, and internal parts to the cabinet/frame
• Used wherever a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is specified
• Replace if the original is missing, corroded, stripped, or will not tighten
• Symptoms: loose or rattling panels, gaps, or hardware that backs out

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water before servicing
• Match thread and length; start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit and tighten snugly—do not overtighten
• Inspect and replace damaged clips or tabs before securing

This refrigerator defrost timer automatically starts and ends the defrost cycle to melt frost from the evaporator coils. Replacing a failed timer restores consistent cooling performance and helps prevent frost buildup that can restrict airflow.

• Controls the timed switch between cooling and defrost to keep evaporator coils clear of frost
• Common symptoms of failure: heavy frost on the evaporator or back panel, fresh food section too warm, unit runs constantly, or won't resume cooling after defrost
• Restores proper frost removal and airflow for stable temperatures
• Designed to match the original timer's function and wiring connections for applicable models

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access location varies by model—often in the fresh food control housing or rear machine compartment
• Photograph/label wire positions and transfer them to the matching terminals on the new timer
• Reuse original mounting hardware and install in the same orientation as the original

This freezer temperature control regulates the freezer compartment temperature so frozen foods stay properly chilled. Replaces a failed control to restore consistent cooling and temperature adjustments. What it does:

• Senses and controls freezer temperature by cycling the compressor and/or evaporator components
• Helps correct symptoms like a freezer that runs constantly, won't reach set temperature, or cycles irregularly
• Works as the user-facing temperature adjustment mechanism for the freezer section
• Interfaces with the fridge's cooling system to maintain the selected temperature range

• One freezer temperature control

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access may require removing the control housing or console; keep track of fasteners and knob position
• Handle electrical connectors carefully and match wiring locations when reinstalling
