This electronic control board manages an appliance's core functions and user interface, restoring reliable cycle selection and electronic operation. Replacing a faulty control board can stop erratic behavior and return consistent control to your appliance. What it does:

• Governs cycle settings, timers and electronic commands from the console
• Communicates status to the display and other modules
• Can cause unresponsive buttons, blank or erratic displays, or failure to start when faulty
• May produce error codes or intermittent operation linked to control faults

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the board by the edges and avoid static discharge; use an anti-static wrist strap if available
• Verify connector orientation and secure all wire harnesses before powering on

This electronic control board manages the appliance's functions and user interface, replacing a failed or faulty main control to restore normal operation and responsive controls. It directs cycles, timers, and electronic features for reliable performance. What it does:

• Receives input from the console and sensors, then sends signals to components to run selected cycles.
• Replaces a board that causes unresponsive controls, incorrect or no cycles, or intermittent operation.
• Can resolve issues with error codes or erratic behavior tied to the main control electronics.
• Works as the central logic module that coordinates timed events and electronic features.

• One electronic control board (main control) — only the board is included.

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or damage to the board.
• Handle the board by edges and avoid touching components; use anti-static precautions where possible.
• Double-check connector locations and wire routing before reassembly; take photos.
• If problems persist after replacement, verify sensors, wiring harnesses, and grounds before replacing additional parts.

This extra-large pad assembly cushions and stabilizes the washer tub to help reduce vibration and noise during operation. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original pad is worn, torn, or compressed. What it does:

• Provides cushioning between the tub and cabinet to absorb shock and reduce banging
• Helps minimize vibration and movement during spin cycles for smoother operation
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact that can cause noise or wear
• Maintains proper tub alignment to support reliable washing performance

• One extra-large pad assembly

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Access may require removing the washer cabinet or front panel; follow the OEM service manual
• Inspect mounting surfaces and replace any damaged fasteners or clips

This door ice separator assembly guides ice from the dispenser chute to the dispenser tray, helping prevent jams and misfeeds. It replaces a cracked, warped, or broken separator to restore smooth ice dispensing. What it does:

• Directs ice through the dispenser chute so cubes drop cleanly into cups or glasses
• Helps prevent ice clumping and jams at the door dispenser
• Restores proper alignment of the dispenser path after damage or wear
• Useful when ice falls unevenly or gets stuck in the dispenser area

• Basic removal of the dispenser inner door panel may be required; keep track of fasteners and clips.
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work to avoid electrical or mechanical hazards.
• Inspect surrounding chute and dispenser components for damage and clean any ice buildup before reassembly.
• Use gentle force when snapping the new separator into place to avoid breaking tabs—do not force misaligned parts.

This refrigerator ice guide channels cubes and crushed ice along the intended path so they land in your bin or glass. When the guide is damaged or missing, ice can scatter, jam, or miss the dispenser opening. What it does

• Guides ice from the ice maker/bucket into the bin and through the dispenser chute
• Helps keep ice flowing smoothly and reduces spills at the opening
• Restores proper aim for cubed and crushed ice
• Typical symptoms: ice spraying or missing the glass, frequent jams, or visible damage to the guide

• 1 ice guide

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the ice bin and access the guide per your model's design
• Transfer and reuse existing mounting screws or clips, if applicable
• Verify alignment, then test both cubed and crushed dispensing

This drip tray catches and guides condensate or minor leaks away from the appliance base to help protect flooring and cabinetry. It fits beneath the appliance where small amounts of water typically collect. What it does:

• Collects and contains dripping or condensed water to prevent puddling under the appliance
• Channels moisture to a safe area to reduce risk of water damage to floors or surrounding cabinetry
• Helps identify leaks by localizing where water accumulates
• Useful for appliances that produce condensate or occasional drips during normal operation

• One drip tray

• Disconnect power to the appliance before moving or servicing it
• Slide the tray into place under the appliance base; ensure it sits flat and is centered
• Inspect tray for cracks or obstructions before reinstalling; replace if damaged
