Parts for Amana SZDE27NE / P1162202W E: 05 - Evap And Air Handling Parts

This hex-head sheet metal screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and trim for a tight, rattle-free fit. Replace missing or stripped fasteners to keep covers and components firmly in place and restore proper alignment.

• Fastens sheet-metal parts, brackets, and trim using a hex drive
• Replaces worn, rusted, missing, or stripped screws
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose panels
• Common signs you need this fastener: head or threads stripped, screw won't tighten, panel or handle coming loose

• Unplug the appliance before service; turn off water supply if working near water lines
• Use the correct nut driver or socket to avoid rounding the head
• Replace one fastener at a time to maintain alignment; do not overtighten
• Match screw type/length to the original location as specified by the manufacturer

Size: 8-32 x .312 inch.

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

This defrost heater warms the evaporator coil during the automatic defrost cycle to melt frost and clear airflow. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent ice buildup and restores more consistent cooling performance throughout the refrigerator. What it does

• Heats the evaporator during defrost cycles to melt accumulated frost
• Keeps airflow paths clear so temperatures stay stable
• Helps prevent frost-clogged coils that reduce cooling
• Common signs of failure: heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator cover, weak cooling, evaporator fan hitting ice, or ice returning soon after a manual defrost

• One defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access is behind the freezer's rear evaporator cover; remove shelves/bins and the panel
• Defrost heavy ice before removal to avoid damaging the coil or insulation
• Transfer any original mounting clips/insulators and route wires exactly like the original; avoid bending the heating element

This rubber grommet cushions and secures a refrigerator fan motor, isolating vibration to help reduce noise and keep the fan properly aligned in its mount.

• Provides a snug, vibration-dampening seat for the fan motor shaft or mounting stud
• Helps prevent rattling, buzzing, or humming sounds from a loose fan mount
• Maintains proper fan alignment to avoid blade contact with shrouds or brackets
• Replaces aged, cracked, or compressed rubber that can lead to increased vibration

• Disconnect power before service; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan assembly (rear or evaporator section), support the motor, and remove the old grommet
• Press the new grommet fully into the bracket or housing; transfer any spacers as originally configured
• Reinstall the motor and verify the fan blade spins freely with no contact before restoring power

This thermistor is the refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature and helps the control board regulate cooling for safe food storage. It replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature readings and normal cycling. What it does:

• Senses refrigerator/freezer air temperature so the control board can adjust compressor and fan operation
• Can cause improper cooling or erratic cycling when faulty (too warm, too cold, or constant running)
• Helps the appliance respond correctly to user temperature settings and defrost cycles
• Works as part of the temperature control system; not a standalone control module

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the sensor tip and wiring gently; avoid kinking or damaging the harness.
• Verify correct connector alignment and secure fit to the harness; test operation after installation.
