A small mounting clip that secures a plastic housing or cover to the appliance frame, keeping panels aligned and internal components protected. Replaces a worn or broken clip to restore proper fit and reduce rattles. What it does:

• Secures a housing or access cover to the appliance cabinet so panels stay aligned
• Keeps wiring and internal components covered and protected from debris
• Stops covers from sagging, rattling or falling off due to a broken clip
• Helps maintain normal airflow paths and panel fit where applicable

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or servicing panels
• Typically fastens with snap-in engagement or a small screw; basic hand tools may be required
• Handle plastic panels and clips gently to avoid cracking; replace any damaged adjacent fasteners

This temperature sensor monitors internal refrigerator temperatures and relays them to the control, helping the unit maintain consistent cooling. Replacing a failed sensor restores accurate temperature regulation and more reliable operation. What it does:

• Measures compartment or evaporator temperature and sends a resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control modulate compressor and fan run times for proper cooling
• Typical failure signs: sections too warm or too cold, erratic temperatures, or running longer than normal
• Causes inaccurate temperature readings compared to setpoints

• 1 temperature sensor assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the sensor in the affected section; release any cover/clip and unplug the connector
• Route the new sensor's wiring like the original and ensure it's fully seated in its holder or clip
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This is a self-tapping screw used to secure appliance panels and small components. It provides a reliable hold in sheet metal and plastic mounting points to restore proper fit and prevent rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Fastens trim, brackets, and light-duty panels where a tapped hole is needed
• Creates its own threads in thin metal or plastic mounting points
• Helps stop vibration-related noise by securing loose panels
• Commonly used during repairs of control panels, inner liners, and external trim

• One tapping screw as shown

• Use the correctly sized screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Drive straight and stop when snug; over-tightening can strip the mating material
• Turn power off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal panels
• If the original hole is damaged or oversized, consider using a slightly larger fastener or repair insert per manufacturer guidance

This water tank assembly is the refrigerator reservoir that stores and delivers water to the dispenser and ice system. Replacing a damaged tank helps restore proper water flow and prevents intermittent dispensing or leaks. What it does:

• Stores potable water for the dispenser and ice maker.
• Feeds water to dispenser/ice system when inlet valves open.
• Commonly replaced for cracks, leaks, or a reservoir that won't hold water.
• Can resolve weak or slow water flow from the dispenser.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting work.
• Drain remaining water from lines and the tank to minimize spills.
• Handle the plastic tank gently to avoid damage; basic hand tools are typically required.

This cover heater for the refrigerator water tank helps prevent the tank from freezing and supports reliable water dispensing. It replaces a damaged or failed heater cover to restore proper water flow and tank protection. What it does:

• Warms the water tank area to reduce the chance of frozen or partially frozen water in cold conditions
• Helps maintain consistent water flow from the dispenser by preventing ice build-up
• Protects internal tank components and wiring located near the heater assembly
• Common symptom: water dispenser slow, intermittent, or stops working when the reservoir is frozen or iced over

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service
• Shut off the water supply and drain the reservoir if required by your model
• Follow OEM service manual instructions and use proper tools to avoid damaging adjacent components

Water filter head and tubing assembly holds the water filter and connects the water lines to the water filter. Approximate dimensions: 13.6" x 12.7" x 4.6"

The water filter cover attaches over the water filter and protects the water filter and head. Approximate dimensions: 7" x 7" x 2.6"

This motor cover protects the damper motor assembly, keeping the motor and linkage free from debris for reliable vent operation. It helps shield internal components to reduce wear and prevent foreign object interference. What it does

• Guards the damper motor and linkage from dust, crumbs and other debris
• Maintains proper clearance around the motor to help consistent damper movement
• Can reduce rattling or contact noise caused by loose components
• Useful when replacing a cracked, broken or missing motor cover

• One motor cover

• High-level replacement: remove power, access the damper assembly, remove fasteners, swap the cover, and reassemble
• Always disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Keep track of screws and any small parts during disassembly
• If the damper motor or linkage are damaged, replace those components rather than relying on the cover alone

This damper motor assembly controls the refrigerator air damper to help regulate airflow between compartments, restoring proper temperature balance and reducing uneven cooling when the original motor fails. What it does:

• Moves the air damper to open or close airflow between freezer and fresh-food sections
• Allows the fridge control to direct colder or warmer air as needed for temperature regulation
• A faulty unit can cause symptoms like warm or inconsistent fresh-food temperatures, reduced cooling performance, or unusual clicking/noise at the damper area

• Disconnect power before starting; work on powered appliances can cause shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing interior panels or shelving to reach the damper housing
• Align the motor drive and damper linkage; don't force gears or clips when installing
• After installation, restore power and verify damper movement and temperature control operation

This freezer thermistor is the temperature sensor located in the freezer compartment. It sends temperature feedback to the control so the compressor, fan, and defrost cycle operate correctly, helping maintain consistent freezing performance and stable food storage.

• Monitors actual freezer temperature and changes resistance to signal the control board
• Helps regulate compressor and evaporator fan operation to achieve the set temperature
• Provides input for defrost timing to limit frost buildup and avoid warm swings
• Common failure symptoms: freezer too warm or too cold, temperature fluctuations, long run times, or excessive frost

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; work with dry hands and proper lighting
• Access the freezer sensor location; note original orientation and wire routing
• Transfer any mounting clip/holder to the new sensor and seat the connector fully; route wires exactly as original to avoid damage
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize
