Parts for Jenn-Air JUDFP242HM01: Cabinet Parts

This screw is a factory replacement fastener used to secure panels, trim, and internal components so parts stay aligned and appliances operate safely. It restores original fit where a missing or damaged screw causes loose panels or rattling. What it does:

• Secures cabinet panels, brackets, or trim pieces to restore solid fits
• Prevents vibration-related noise and movement caused by missing fasteners
• Replaces stripped or corroded screws that won't hold parts safely
• Matches OEM fastening points for correct installation when replacement is needed

• Use the correct screwdriver and size to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific safety steps before working on electric components
• Replace them as needed for full panel stability

This defrost sensor monitors evaporator temperature so the fridge's defrost system runs when needed, helping prevent excessive frost and maintain efficient cooling. It replaces a faulty thermistor to restore proper defrost cycles and temperature sensing. What it does:

• Senses evaporator coil temperature and sends readings to the control board or defrost timer.
• Triggers defrost cycles when the evaporator reaches temperatures that indicate ice buildup.
• Commonly used when frost accumulates on the evaporator or the freezer runs too cold/too warm between cycles.
• Works with compatible refrigerator control systems that rely on a thermistor-style defrost sensor.

• One defrost sensor (thermistor) assembly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on wires or bending the sensor probe sharply.
• Follow OEM routing and connector orientation; secure the sensor to the evaporator per the original mounting.
