This refrigerator/freezer door gasket creates an airtight seal around the door to help maintain proper temperature and reduce energy use. It replaces a worn or damaged seal to improve cooling and reduce frost buildup. What it does:

• Seals the cabinet to keep cold air in and warm air out
• Helps prevent excess frost and moisture inside the compartment
• Reduces compressor run-time caused by air leaks
• Restores proper door alignment and consistent cooling

• Disconnect power and remove food from affected compartment before starting
• Remove the old gasket and thoroughly clean and dry the gasket channel before installing
• Press the new gasket into the channel evenly, starting at a corner and working around the door
• Check the seal by closing the door; adjust or reseat as needed for a uniform contact

This is a #8 screw, 0.500 inch long, used to secure panels and components in appliances. It provides a correct-fit fastener for repairs where the original #8 x 1/2" screw was required, restoring proper assembly and stability. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets and small components where a #8 x 1/2" screw is specified
• Holds parts securely to prevent rattling, gaps or loose panels
• Replaces worn, stripped or missing screws to restore proper fit
• Appropriate for common interior and exterior appliance mounting points

• Use the correct screwdriver (typically Phillips) and avoid over-tightening to prevent strip or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance manufacturer safety instructions when accessing internal parts

This replacement screw secures appliance components so brackets, shelves, trim, or panels stay firmly in place. Install a new screw when the original is missing, stripped, or corroded to restore a tight, rattle-free fit.

• Fastens brackets, panels, trim, or covers to the cabinet or liner
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration and noise
• Direct replacement for a missing, rusted, or stripped fastener
• Use wherever your model's parts diagram specifies this screw

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water if working near water lines
• Match thread and length to the original location as shown in your model's parts diagram
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening (especially into plastic)
• Retain and transfer any original spacers or clips used with this fastener
