• Fastens components at the original factory locations specified for this part
• Replaces missing, damaged, or stripped screws to restore holding power
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose parts
• Maintains proper alignment of panels, covers, brackets, and trim

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Match to the original screw and install in the same location and orientation
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Use the correct driver or nut-driver; transfer any washers or spacers from the original hardware if present

The Bracket-Door Stop is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool appliances. This zinc-finished bracket is designed to prevent the appliance door from opening beyond its intended range, protecting both the door and surrounding components from potential damage. It ensures the door stays secure and functions smoothly during regular use.

Symptoms of a bad Bracket-Door Stop include:

• The door overextending when opened
• Difficulty in maintaining the door's position
• Visible bending, cracking, or damage to the bracket

Causes of a failing Bracket-Door Stop can include repeated stress from excessive force when opening the door, normal wear over time, or accidental impacts. A damaged bracket can compromise the door's alignment and overall functionality.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This thimble is a small insert used in the freezer compartment. It reinforces a mounting hole, prevents liner wear, and helps keep attached hardware stable and properly aligned for smooth, quiet operation.

• Serves as a protective bushing for a hole in the freezer compartment liner
• Helps stabilize and align the component secured at that location
• Replaces cracked, worn, or missing inserts that can cause loose hardware, wobbling, or rattling
• Restores proper fit while helping prevent further wear to the liner

• Unplug the refrigerator and clear the work area in the freezer before service
• Remove the fastener/component to access the insert, then pull the old thimble straight out
• Press the new thimble fully into the hole; reinstall hardware without overtightening
• Use care—cold plastic and liner edges can be brittle or sharp

This freezer door gasket creates a tight seal around the door opening to keep cold air in and humidity out. Replacing a worn gasket restores proper door closure, helps prevent frost buildup, and supports consistent freezer temperatures.

• Forms an air-tight perimeter seal to minimize air leaks and moisture intrusion
• Helps resolve frost/ice buildup and sweating/condensation around the door
• Can improve temperature stability and reduce excessive run times caused by air leaks
• Common fix for doors that won't seal or when the old gasket is cracked, torn, or shrunken

• Disconnect power and clear items from the door before starting
• Warm and relax the new gasket (lay flat or soak in warm water) for easier installation
• Fit the corners first, then work evenly along the sides for a uniform seal
• If your model uses a retainer or screws, loosen and re-tighten evenly; check door alignment and perform a "dollar-bill" test
