A self-locking nut that secures threaded studs and shafts to help prevent components from working loose during normal use. Small but critical for keeping assemblies tight and stable. What it does:

• Threads onto studs or shafts to hold parts in position and resist vibration-related loosening
• Prevents movement, rattling or intermittent contact caused by loose fasteners
• Commonly used on control shafts, trim pieces, or internal brackets where a secure connection is required
• Works as a simple mechanical locking solution without adhesives or safety wire

• Use the correct size wrench or socket to avoid rounding the nut
• Tighten to a snug fit; avoid excessive torque that can strip threads
• Inspect mating threads for damage and replace if worn before installing
• Disconnect power to the appliance or follow OEM safety precautions when accessing internal components

This small replacement screw secures trim, panels, or internal components so parts stay aligned and appliances operate quietly. Use it to replace a missing or damaged fastener and restore proper fit and function. What it does:

• Fastens small panels, brackets, or trim pieces to the appliance body
• Keeps components aligned to prevent vibration, rattling, or gaps
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing screws that can cause loose parts
• Restores secure mounting after service or component replacement

• Disconnect power (and gas where applicable) before servicing the appliance
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Keep track of tiny fasteners and use a magnetic tray to prevent loss
• Do not overtighten; snug until seated to avoid damaging threads or components

This metal mounting bracket secures the control cover/console housing on compatible Viking ranges and cooktops, keeping the control assembly protected and properly positioned for reliable operation. What it does:

• Fastens the control cover to the appliance chassis to prevent movement or rattling
• Helps protect control board and wiring from incidental contact and debris
• Restores proper alignment of the control console when damaged or bent
• Can reduce intermittent control issues caused by loose or misaligned covers

• One control cover mounting bracket as shown

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting work
• Handle sharp sheet-metal edges with gloves to avoid cuts

This electronic freezer control assembly manages the freezer's control functions and settings to help restore reliable temperature regulation and responsive controls when the original control fails. Designed as a direct replacement control module. What it does:

• Controls freezer functions and user settings by communicating with sensors and other system modules.
• Commonly replaces a failed control board when the freezer won't maintain temperature, cycles erratically, or displays control-related errors.
• Restores responsive control panel behavior when buttons or digital settings stop working.
• Used when diagnostics point to control/board faults rather than mechanical components.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle the control board carefully and avoid static discharge; use antistatic precautions if available.
• Match connector locations and wire harness orientation; ensure all plugs seat fully before restoring power.
• If symptoms persist after replacement, recheck wiring, sensors, and diagnostic codes before ordering additional parts.

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator

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