This is the magnetic door gasket that seals the refrigerator compartment. A tight, intact gasket helps maintain proper temperature and reduces energy loss by keeping warm air out and cold air in.

• Creates an airtight seal between the refrigerator door and cabinet
• Helps prevent temperature swings, frost, and moisture around the door
• Worn, torn, or warped gaskets can cause warm spots, condensation, or doors not closing properly
• Replace if you see cracks, gaps, or if the gasket no longer holds a seal

• Unplug the appliance before service and remove door contents for easier handling
• Gently warm the gasket (hair dryer on low) to relax folds and improve fit
• Transfer and reuse any retaining hardware; seat the gasket fully in the channel
• Check door alignment and perform a dollar-bill test around the perimeter to confirm sealing

This screw fastens appliance panels and components to keep assemblies secure and reduce movement or vibration. A simple replacement part that restores proper fit and helps stop rattling or loose parts. What it does

• Secures panels, brackets, or components to the appliance frame
• Restores proper alignment and reduces vibration or rattling caused by missing or stripped screws
• Provides a direct, OEM-compatible replacement for worn or lost fasteners
• Used anywhere a matching screw is specified on the original equipment

• One screw

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid stripping the head

This is a GE refrigerator defrost heater assembly. The defrost heater assembly is the component responsible for defrosting the freezer compartment.If the refrigerator has been having trouble defrosting or making loud noises when the defrost heater turns on, this part could need a replacement. When this part malfunctions there could be a noticeable increase in ice building up in the freezer compartment. This situation should be fixed quickly because the increasing ice could damage other parts. Start any repairs by unplugging the refrigerator first. Take all the shelves out of the freezer and remove the freezer light shield. Unthread the two screws securing the rear freezer panel inside of the freezer. Detach the clip and remove the panel.

• Helps prevent blocked ice flow and intermittent dispensing due to icing
• Common symptoms include frost around the dispenser opening, ice door not closing fully, or a sticking/jamming dispenser

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for your specific model
• After reassembly, verify the ice door operates freely and seals without gaps
• Allow up to 24 hours of normal operation for temperatures and moisture levels to stabilize

This .030-inch shim is a thin leveling spacer used to correct small height and alignment gaps. It helps stabilize and align appliance components for proper fit and reduced vibration during operation. What it does:

• Provides a precise 0.030-inch thickness to raise or level panels, doors, or chassis components
• Helps eliminate small gaps that can cause rubbing, misalignment, or uneven sealing
• Reduces vibration or rocking by evening out contact points and load distribution
• Useful during cabinet installation or when replacing worn leveling feet or brackets

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) to the appliance before performing service
• Use appropriate hand tools and keep shims flat and properly seated under the component being adjusted
• Add shims incrementally—do not force parts into position or over-tighten fasteners after shimming
