8-18 CA HX 1/2 S

This is a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) used in appliance control circuits to regulate power to heaters or motors, helping the appliance deliver consistent operation and heat when needed. What it does:

• Acts as a switch in the control circuit to regulate current flow to heating elements or motors
• Can prevent or allow power to the load based on control signals from the appliance module
• Common symptom indicators: intermittent or no heat, unit won't reach operating temperature, or inconsistent operation of the controlled component
• Used where precise control of AC power is required for safe, efficient performance

• One silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) as described

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the part carefully; avoid bending terminals and observe anti-static precautions
• Verify wiring and terminal orientation matches the original before reconnecting

This 10-32 x 1/2 machine screw secures appliance components where a standard 10-32 fastener is required. It restores proper mounting and reduces vibration or loose panels for reliable, quiet operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or components that use a 10-32 threaded hole
• Prevents rattling, misalignment, and intermittent contact caused by loose fasteners
• Maintains electrical or mechanical connections when used as the OEM-specified screw
• Helps restore fit and finish after repair or disassembly

• Use the correct 10-32 driver (Phillips or slotted depending on head) and hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping threads or cracking plastic parts
• Replace only with the same size and thread spec to ensure proper fit
• Disconnect power if working near energized components or wiring

This is a mobility screw used to secure mobility-related components in compatible appliances, providing a reliable fastener for stable operation and correct alignment. It replaces worn or missing screws to restore secure mounting. What it does

• Fastens and secures mobility/bracket components to prevent movement or misalignment.
• Helps maintain proper alignment of moving parts that can cause noise or binding when loose.
• Commonly replaced when mounting points are stripped, damaged, or missing.
• Small replacement part that supports overall appliance stability and safe operation.

• One screw as shown/packaged by the manufacturer.

• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the screw head.
• Ensure the appliance is powered off and disconnected from the power source before accessing internal components.
• Do not overtighten; snug to manufacturer torque or until the part is secure.
• If mounting hardware or threaded inserts are damaged, replace or repair those components before installing this screw.

This hex-head screw secures refrigerator components where a 12-24 x 7/8 in fastener is specified. Replacing a missing, stripped, or rusted screw restores a tight, reliable fit for brackets, panels, and assemblies and helps eliminate vibration and rattles.

• Fastens panels, brackets, and other assemblies in the refrigerator at locations calling for this size hardware
• Replaces worn, stripped, or missing screws to restore secure mounting
• Helps correct loose or misaligned components and reduce vibration noise
• OEM size: 12-24 thread, 7/8 in length; hex head

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off the water supply before service
• Match the screw to the original location; replace one at a time to maintain alignment
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Use an appropriate nut driver or socket that fits the hex head

This replacement screw fastens refrigerator components such as brackets, panels, and handles. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener with the correct size helps restore a secure fit, proper alignment, and quieter operation.

• Secures brackets, trim, or handle assemblies to the cabinet or liner
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing hardware
• Helps reduce rattles and looseness from vibration
• Maintains proper alignment of attached parts

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before service
• Match thread size and length to the original; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit for the head style; do not overtighten
• Reinstall any washers or spacers in the original order

This manufacturer-specified screw fastens appliance panels, brackets, and internal components in place. Replace a missing or stripped fastener to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and reliable support at the original mounting points.

• Provides the correct fastener for securing covers, brackets, and assemblies
• Replaces lost, rusted, or damaged screws
• Helps resolve loose or vibrating panels and trim
• Maintains alignment of components and hardware

• Unplug the appliance; shut off water if working near supply lines
• Match the new screw to the original location; verify length and thread
• Start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Keep removed hardware organized for reassembly
