• Reduces stress on hinges and adjacent trim from over-travel
• Commonly replaced when the door binds, catches, or does not sit flush

What's included:

• One door stop (stop-door) as shown

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and follow the appliance manufacturer's safety instructions before servicing
• Removal typically requires basic hand tools; keep fasteners for reassembly
• Inspect surrounding hinge and trim for wear; replace as needed

This vent plug seals the designated vent port on the appliance assembly to maintain the intended seal and containment. Replacing a worn or missing plug helps prevent nuisance leaks and odors from an open or damaged vent.

• Seals a factory vent opening on the specified assembly
• Helps prevent moisture or drips from escaping at the vent area
• Helps keep dust and debris from entering through an open port
• Replace if the plug is cracked, hardened, shrunken, loose, or missing
• Typical signs include moisture around the vent, visible damage, or a plug that won't stay seated

• Disconnect power and shut off water or gas supplies (as applicable) before servicing
• Allow appliance surfaces to cool and dry; wear protective gloves
• Remove the old plug, clean the vent port, and press the new plug fully flush in the same orientation
• Restore power and run a brief test; inspect the vent area for leaks

This magnetic door gasket creates an airtight seal around the perimeter of your refrigerator/freezer door. Replacing a worn gasket restores proper sealing to help maintain temperature, reduce frost and condensation, and improve overall efficiency.

• Warm the new gasket (room temp; briefly in warm water or with a hair dryer on low) to relax bends.
• Seat the gasket evenly in the door's retainer/channel; align corners for uniform contact.
• Adjust retainer/door alignment as needed.
