This defrost thermostat is a bi-metal switch that senses evaporator temperature during defrost and opens to stop heater power once the coil warms. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrost, reducing ice buildup and airflow-related cooling problems.

• Monitors evaporator coil temperature during defrost
• Opens the heater circuit at a set temperature; recloses when cold for the next defrost
• Helps protect against overheating and ensures consistent defrost operation
• Common symptoms: heavy frost on the evaporator, weak airflow/warm fresh food section, repeated ice buildup after manual defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the thermostat at the evaporator behind the freezer's rear panel
• Move wires one-for-one from the old part; mount in firm contact with the coil/tubing and secure leads away from the fan
• After installation, the thermostat should show continuity when cold and open circuit when warm

This sealed-system compressor circulates refrigerant to cool your refrigerator, restoring normal cooling performance when the compressor fails. Designed to replace a failing compressor and help bring temperatures back to safe food-storage levels. What it does:

• Compresses and circulates refrigerant through the sealed refrigeration circuit
• Restores cooling when the compressor motor runs properly
• Commonly linked to symptoms like weak or no cooling, loud humming or clattering sounds, or a refrigerator that cycles continuously
• May be the cause if the appliance frequently trips a circuit breaker or shows hard-starting behavior

• Sealed-system work requires certified HVAC/refrigeration service and proper refrigerant handling per local regulations
• Disconnect power before beginning any repair; follow lockout/tagout practices
• Compressor replacement often requires system evacuation, brazing, and recharge — do not attempt unless qualified
• Use the identical replacement part number and follow OEM service instructions to avoid damage

This drier is the factory replacement air/gas flow assembly that helps maintain proper airflow and drying performance in compatible laundry dryers. Replacing a worn drier restores consistent drying and reduces overheating risk. What it does:

• Directs and stabilizes heated air through the drum for efficient drying
• Helps prevent restricted airflow that can cause long dry times or damp laundry
• Supports safe exhaust flow to reduce the chance of overheating or lint buildup
• Works with the dryer's heating and ventilation components to maintain normal operation

• One drier assembly as shown

• Disconnect electrical power before beginning service; if this is a gas dryer, turn off and disconnect the gas supply
• Follow the dryer manufacturer's service manual for disassembly and reassembly steps
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid forcing parts; inspect venting and lint traps while replacing

This overload is a thermal protection device that mounts on the motor/compressor and opens the circuit when excessive heat or current is detected. Replacing a weak or failed overload helps restore safe startup and protects the windings from damage. What it does:

• Monitors motor/compressor temperature and current draw
• Interrupts power on overheat/overload to prevent damage
• Aids troubleshooting of start/run issues when paired with the start device
• Common symptoms: hums then clicks off, won't start, intermittent shutdown, frequent tripping

• 1 thermal overload protector

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow components to cool
• Access the terminal area on the motor/compressor; remove any cover
• Note/photograph wire positions; transfer wires and fully seat the new overload on the correct terminal
• Inspect the start relay, capacitor, and terminals for heat damage; replace any compromised parts

This heater is the factory heating element that supplies controlled heat for the appliance's designated cycle, helping restore consistent, reliable performance when the original element is damaged or has failed.

• Converts electrical energy into heat for the unit's specific heating function
• Common signs of failure: cycles that don't reach temperature, longer run times, or uneven results
• Visual clues can include breaks, burn marks, or hot spots on the element
• Restores designed heating performance when installed in a compatible unit

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow components to cool
• Note wire positions and mounting hardware; transfer any brackets/insulators from the original if required
• Avoid kinking the element or over-tightening mounting screws; confirm clearances from wiring and panels
• After installation, check continuity and run a brief test cycle while monitoring operation

This replacement screw secures specified refrigerator components—such as covers, brackets, and internal panels—so they stay properly mounted. Replace a missing, stripped, or corroded fastener to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and reliable operation.

• Provides the correct fastener for locations identified in your model's parts diagram
• Helps prevent looseness, vibration, and rattling of panels or brackets
• Replace if the head is stripped, threads are worn, or the screw is missing
• Symptoms can include loose parts, gaps, or noises from movement

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water if working near the ice maker or dispenser
• Match length and type to the original; follow your model's parts diagram for placement
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing, especially into plastic
• Keep track of screw positions; do not mix different screw lengths or styles

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.
