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 is a replacement cover mullion screw that secures the mullion/trim cover on the refrigerator door assembly, restoring a snug, rattle-free fit and keeping the trim properly aligned. What it does

• Secures the mullion or center trim cover to the refrigerator door
• Prevents the trim from vibrating or coming loose during door use
• Addresses symptoms like a loose or rattling mullion cover
• Restores proper trim alignment for a finished appearance

• One cover mullion screw

• High-level hand tools (screwdriver) are typically all that's needed
• Tighten until snug; avoid overtightening to prevent striping the hole or damaging trim
• Disconnect power only if removal of other parts requires working near electrical components; otherwise, ensure doors are stable before working

This plug cover is a small protective cap that shields an appliance's power or wiring plug/terminal area from dust and accidental contact. It helps keep connections clean and reduces the risk of debris buildup. What it does

• Covers and protects an exposed appliance plug or terminal connection
• Helps prevent dust, dirt and small debris from entering the plug area
• Reduces risk of accidental contact with terminals while appliance is serviced or idle
• Commonly used when a cord or plug is not in use or during maintenance

• No special tools required; push the cover firmly into place over the plug or terminal
• Ensure the appliance is powered off and unplugged before servicing nearby components
• Inspect the cover for damage and replace if cracked or deformed
• Not intended to alter electrical connections or provide waterproofing; use only as a protective cap

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 leveling screw threads into the refrigerator's leveling leg or adjuster bracket to raise or lower the cabinet. Replacing a stripped or missing screw restores stable footing and helps keep doors aligned for proper sealing.

• Provides threaded height adjustment of the leveling leg/roller bracket
• Helps stop rocking or wobbling that can cause vibration and rattling
• Aids in door alignment so doors close and seal properly
• Replace if threads are stripped, screw is bent, seized, or missing

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Protect flooring; with assistance, carefully tip the appliance slightly to relieve weight from the adjuster
• Remove the damaged screw; hand-start the new screw to avoid cross-threading, then adjust until level
• Verify the cabinet is stable and doors operate correctly before restoring power

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
