• Use the proper screwdriver or nut driver for the screw head to avoid stripping
• Thread gently and stop when snug; do not overtighten to prevent stripping or damage
• If threads are damaged, replace with the correct-size screw rather than forcing it

This ice mold and heater assembly forms the ice cubes and warms the mold just enough during harvest so cubes release cleanly into the bin. Replacing a worn mold/heater restores reliable ice production and prevents jams or incomplete ejection.

• Forms the ice cube cavities and provides gentle heat for smooth release
• Can help resolve slow or no ice production due to cubes sticking in the mold
• Address misshapen cubes, ice jams, or incomplete harvest cycles
• Common when the coating is worn, the heater is open, or cubes consistently hang up

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing the icemaker
• Remove the icemaker assembly to access and swap the mold/heater unit
• Transfer any required brackets or hardware from the old part if applicable
• After reassembly, restore power and allow several hours for normal ice making

This cup fill spout directs the dispenser's water stream cleanly into a cup. If the spout is cracked, clogged, or warped, it can cause splashing or persistent drips—replacing it restores a steady, controlled flow.

• Funnels water from the dispenser outlet for a smooth, targeted stream
• Helps reduce splashing and water running down the door
• Can resolve drips after dispensing, erratic spray, or a damaged/missing spout
• Visible cracks, mineral buildup, or deformation are common failure signs

• Unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply
• Open the dispenser area and release the spout from its locking tabs or clips
• Seat the new spout fully; transfer any seals from the old part if applicable
• Restore water and power, then test for proper flow and leaks

This Arm Ejector secures and positions the dishwasher spray arm so it spins properly and distributes water for effective cleaning. Replacing a worn or broken ejector restores spray-arm stability and helps prevent uneven washing. What it does:

• Holds the spray arm in the correct position so it can rotate freely
• Prevents spray arm wobble, scraping, or falling off during cycles
• Helps maintain proper water distribution for consistent cleaning
• Can resolve symptoms like noisy spray arm movement or uneven wash performance

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before starting any repair
• Remove the lower spray arm and mounting cup as shown in your model's parts diagram to access the ejector
• Inspect surrounding components for wear when replacing the ejector
• Use only the exact replacement part number to ensure proper fit and function

This stripper arm for an ice maker lifts and clears ice from the mold so individual cubes separate and move into the dispenser or storage bin. Replacing a worn or damaged arm restores reliable harvest and ice release. What it does:

• Lifts or sweeps ice out of the ice mold during the harvest cycle
• Helps separate stuck or partially formed cubes so they fall into the bin
• Reduces ice buildup that can cause clumping or delivery problems
• Works as part of the ice maker's ejector/harvest mechanism

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Confirm position and orientation against the removed part before installing
• May require basic hand tools; handle plastic parts carefully to avoid breakage

• Supports and positions the ice housing/chute assembly in the freezer door
• Helps maintain proper alignment and sealing of the ice door/flapper
• Reduces wobble or flex that can affect dispensing performance
• Typical signs it may be needed: loose or misaligned dispenser housing, ice or air leaking at the chute, frost buildup around the dispenser, inconsistent ice dispensing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the dispenser trim/control to access the housing; handle wiring and tabs carefully
• Remove mounting fasteners, replace the support, and transfer any reusable hardware
• Reassemble, restore power, and test ice dispensing and chute seal

This thermostat retainer clip secures the defrost thermostat to the evaporator tubing in your refrigerator or freezer, maintaining firm contact for accurate temperature sensing and dependable defrost operation.

• Holds the thermostat firmly against the evaporator line for proper temperature feedback
• Helps prevent a loose or dangling thermostat that contribute to frost buildup and poor defrost performance
• Restores correct mounting when the original clip is cracked, bent, or missing
• Common signs include a broken clip or a thermostat not attached to the coil

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove accumulated frost/ice as needed without prying on coil fins
• Position the thermostat body flat against the tubing and snap the retainer over it, avoiding pinched wires or damaged fins
• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power
