• Covers and protects lower front components from dirt, dust and accidental contact
• Helps direct airflow around vents and intake areas for proper operation
• Restores a finished, gap-free appearance when the original grille is cracked or broken
• Reduces rattling caused by loose or damaged grille pieces

• One lower front grille enclosure

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Remove nearby panels or kickplate screws/clips as needed for access
• Align tabs and secure with the factory screws or clips; do not force or bend mounting tabs

This cover-unit is the outer housing cover that protects internal components and provides a finished appearance. It keeps wiring and mechanisms enclosed and helps maintain safe, reliable operation. What it does:

• Shields internal parts from dust, debris and accidental contact
• Helps maintain proper airflow and component spacing
• Restores the appliance's exterior appearance after panel damage or disassembly
• Reduces the risk of snagging or exposed wiring near service areas

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Use basic hand tools; follow for correct removal and reinstallation sequence
• Inspect mounting clips and fasteners; replace any broken hardware for a secure fit
• Handle carefully to avoid scratching the finish or bending mounting tabs

This heat shield protects nearby components from high oven temperatures, helping prevent heat damage and maintain safe operation. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore proper thermal protection. What it does

• Deflects and shields adjacent parts from radiant heat generated by the oven cavity.
• Helps prevent discoloration, warping, or premature failure of nearby panels and wiring.
• Can stop heat-related smells or scorching around the oven interior or cabinet.
• Restores intended oven airflow and thermal clearance when the original shield is damaged or missing.

• One replacement heat shield

• Disconnect electrical power (and shut off gas for gas ranges) before starting any repair.
• Handle carefully — edges may be sharp; wear gloves and eye protection.
• Verify correct mounting orientation and fasteners; reuse original screws if in good condition or replace with OEM-specified hardware.

This utility compartment housing is the outer cabinet piece that protects and secures the appliance's control area and internal components. It restores a clean, stable enclosure to prevent damage and exposure. What it does:

• Covers and protects the appliance's utility/control compartment from dust, debris, and accidental contact.
• Provides mounting surfaces and alignment for control modules, switches, and wiring harnesses.
• Restores proper fit to eliminate rattles, looseness, or gaps around the control area.
• Helps prevent exposed wiring or components that could lead to functional issues or safety concerns.

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Basic disassembly typically requires removing outer panels or the top cover; keep track of screws and fasteners.
• Handle with care to avoid scratching the finish or damaging mounting tabs; inspect clips and screw bosses before final assembly.

This air tower directs cold air from the evaporator into the fresh-food compartment to help maintain even temperatures and proper circulation. It replaces a cracked, broken or missing tower to restore airflow distribution. What it does:

• Channels cold air from the evaporator into the refrigerator cavity for consistent cooling
• Helps prevent localized warm spots and uneven cooling in the fresh-food section
• Restores proper airflow after impact damage or plastic fatigue
• Works with the evaporator and fan to support overall temperature performance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Typically accessed from inside the refrigerator after removing shelving and the evaporator cover
• Handle near the evaporator coil carefully to avoid damage or refrigerant-line contact
• Use basic hand tools

This condenser bracket assembly secures the refrigerator condenser in place to prevent movement and vibration, helping maintain proper airflow and reduce noise from loose components. What it does:

• Holds the condenser coil or condenser assembly firmly against the cabinet/frame
• Prevents rattling or vibration that can cause noise during operation
• Keeps the condenser positioned for consistent airflow around cooling components
• Replaces damaged, bent, or missing condenser mounting hardware

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp sheet metal edges
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver/socket) are typically required; verify fastener types before beginning
• Inspect surrounding mounts and hardware; replace any damaged fasteners and torque to manufacturer specs

This toe grille covers the lower front of your refrigerator and allows proper ventilation to the condenser compartment. Replacing a cracked or missing grille restores a clean, finished look while helping maintain clear airflow at the base.

• Covers and finishes the lower front opening of the cabinet
• Directs intake air to the condenser area for correct ventilation
• Helps keep debris from entering the compartment under the unit
• Common symptoms: visible cracks or broken tabs, grille won't stay attached, missing piece, rattling at the base

• Disconnect power and wear work gloves for safety
• Remove the old grille by releasing side clips or removing the mounting screws (varies by model)
• Align the new grille and press to engage clips or reinstall screws; ensure it's secure and unobstructed
• Keep the front vent area clear after installation to maintain airflow
