• Disconnect power before servicing; also shut off gas or water if applicable
• Support the door during removal/installation; a second person may be needed for larger/heavier doors
• Transfer any reusable hardware (hinge pins, screws, nameplate/trim) from the original as needed

This time-delay fuse protects the appliance's power circuit by opening when current exceeds a safe level while tolerating brief inrush current. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the root cause is corrected. What it does:

• Protects the line and control circuits from shorts and overloads
• Time-delay design helps prevent nuisance opening during startup surges
• When open, the unit will be completely dead—no display, lights, or response
• Repeatedly opening usually indicates an unresolved electrical fault that needs diagnosis

• 1 time-delay fuse

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; some appliances can retain dangerous high voltage
• Replace only with the same type and rating specified by the manufacturer
• Inspect the fuse holder and wiring for heat damage or loose connections before reassembly
• If the new fuse opens immediately, stop and diagnose the underlying cause; never bypass or upsize a fuse

This protective cover shields and guides the appliance's water line at the back, helping prevent kinks, abrasion, and vibration. Replacing a damaged or missing cover helps protect the tubing and supports consistent water flow. What it does:

• Protects and routes the water supply tubing to reduce rubbing and wear
• Helps prevent kinks or pinches that can restrict water flow
• Keeps the line secured to minimize vibration and rattling
• Common signs include a cracked/missing cover, exposed/kinked tubing, leaks, or reduced water flow

• 1 water hose cover

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Pull the appliance forward for access; remove any screws/clips securing the old cover
• Note the tube routing; install the new cover without pinching the line
• Restore water and power, then check for proper flow and any leaks
