This clamp secures the tub-to-internal drain hose connection to help prevent leaks and maintain proper drainage. A simple replacement when the original clip is corroded, broken, or no longer holds the hose tight. What it does

• Secures the drain hose to the tub/internal fitting to maintain a watertight connection
• Helps prevent water leaks and dripping from the hose junction
• Reduces risk of water pooling under the appliance or water damage during drain cycles
• Can resolve symptoms like intermittent leaking or a hose that slips off under pressure

• One tub-to-internal drain hose clamp

• Disconnect power to the appliance and turn off the water supply before beginning.
• Access the clamp via the washer's access panel or cabinet per your model's service instructions.
• Replace the clamp with the original orientation; use the appropriate pliers or clamp tool to secure without over-stressing the hose.
• Reassemble panels and run a short drain test to ensure there are no leaks.

This air plenum duct gasket seals the air plenum/duct connection to maintain proper airflow through the appliance. Replacing a worn gasket helps restore efficient airflow and can improve drying/heating performance. What it does:

• Seals the plenum-to-duct connection to prevent air leaks
• Directs airflow through the correct duct path for efficient operation
• Helps maintain proper temperature and cycle performance
• Reduces extended cycle times or uneven drying/heating caused by leaks

• Disconnect power (and gas supply, if applicable) before beginning work.
• Remove access panels and the old gasket; clean mating surfaces before installing the new gasket.
• Position gasket carefully for a flush seal; some models may require screws or clips to secure it.

A small metal retaining washer that helps secure a fastener and resists loosening from vibration. Replaces the worn or missing washer that can allow mounting hardware to back off and components to shift. What it does:

• Holds nuts or bolts tight by locking the mating fastener in place
• Helps prevent vibration-related loosening that can cause rattles or part movement
• Secures panels, brackets, or assemblies so connected parts stay aligned
• Common symptom: loose or noisy components near the washer location

• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific safety procedures before servicing
• Use the correct size and orientation of washer as shown in the appliance parts diagram
• Replace only with the same style and fit to ensure proper locking action
• Replace them as well for a reliable repair

This heated air plenum cover gasket seals the dryer plenum to help direct warm air through the drum and prevent air leaks. It restores proper airflow and reduces heat loss for more efficient drying. What it does:

• Seals the joint between the heated air plenum and the housing to prevent air leaks
• Helps maintain consistent dryer temperature and airflow
• Can reduce drying time caused by escaping heated air
• Commonly replaced when gasket is torn, compressed, or missing

• One heated air plenum cover gasket

• Designed for direct replacement; remove dryer power before servicing
• Inspect surrounding plenum and fasteners; replace any damaged clips or screws
• Gasket typically installs by pressing into place around the plenum opening

This tube clamp secures tubing and small lines to the appliance frame to reduce vibration and prevent wear. It keeps water, refrigerant or drain lines held in place for quieter, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds tubing or small lines firmly against the cabinet or chassis to prevent rubbing and chafing
• Reduces vibration and rattling noises caused by loose lines
• Helps maintain proper routing of water, drain or refrigerant lines
• Prevents stress on fittings by keeping lines supported and stationary

• Tube clamp (single)

• Turn power and water supply off before working on any plumbing or refrigerant lines
• Use appropriate fasteners (screws or clips) and do not overtighten the clamp to avoid crushing the tube
• Inspect tubing and fittings for damage while replacing the clamp; replace damaged lines or seals as needed

This cable guide bracket secures and routes a dryer/washer cable to keep it aligned and prevent rubbing or snagging, helping the appliance door and controls operate smoothly. Ideal when cable wear or misrouting causes binding or noise. What it does:

• Holds and guides the appliance cable so it stays in the correct position
• Prevents cable abrasion against panels or sharp edges
• Reduces cable movement that can cause rubbing noises or intermittent function
• Helps maintain smooth door/cabinet movement by keeping cable clear of moving parts

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any work.
• Removal/installation typically requires basic hand tools and access to the cabinet or panel.
• Inspect the cable for wear and replace if damaged; only route the cable through the guide as intended.

This high-limit thermostat is a temperature-sensing safety cutoff that stops heat when temperatures get too high to help protect the appliance and surrounding components. It provides a simple, reliable way to interrupt power to the heating circuit when a dangerous temperature is detected. What it does:

• Senses excessive temperature and opens the circuit to stop the heater from continuing to heat
• Commonly replaces a thermostat that has failed open or trips repeatedly
• Can resolve symptoms like no heat after a long run, intermittent heating, or overheating/shutoff during operation
• Acts as a safety device to prevent damage from sustained overheating

• One high-limit thermostat

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing the appliance
• Handle and mount the thermostat carefully; avoid bending or damaging the sensing element
• Reconnect wiring to the same terminals and secure any mounting clips or brackets

Manual reset thermostat provides an oven/range high-limit safety cutoff to stop heating when temperatures exceed safe levels. Replacing a failed thermostat restores over-temperature protection and can stop repeated thermal shutdowns. What it does:

• Acts as a temperature safety cutoff that interrupts power to the heating element when temps exceed the thermostat's limit.
• Helps prevent overheating by shutting the circuit until the thermostat is manually reset.
• Common replacement when an oven or broiler stops heating, won't maintain temperature, or repeatedly trips off.
• Mechanical design offers a manual reset after an over-temperature event; a thermostat that won't reset usually needs replacement.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker or unplug before inspecting or replacing the thermostat.
• Note or photograph wire locations before removal; reconnect wires to the same terminals and secure all connections.
