This humidity control body is the fixed housing for a refrigerator crisper vent. It mounts to the crisper cover or drawer and provides the track for the slider so you can open/close the vent and help manage drawer moisture. What it does:

• Serves as the stationary housing for the crisper's humidity control vent
• Guides and secures the humidity control slider so it moves smoothly
• Helps regulate airflow into the crisper to influence moisture levels
• Common signs of failure: broken/missing housing, loose slider, vent won't adjust or stays stuck

• One humidity control body

• Disconnect power and remove the crisper/bin or cover for access
• Note slider orientation and position before removal
• Transfer the slider to the new body and secure the body to existing mounting points
• Avoid overtightening to prevent cracking; verify smooth slider travel before reassembly

This replacement washer is a small hardware spacer used in appliance assemblies. It provides a smooth bearing surface under a bolt or nut to distribute load and maintain proper spacing so components stay secure, aligned, and quiet.

• Distributes clamp load to protect mating parts and prevent loosening
• Maintains proper spacing/clearance for correct alignment
• Helps reduce wobble, scraping, or vibration when the original washer is worn or missing
• Visual signs include distortion, cracks, corrosion, or a fastener that no longer tightens securely

• Disconnect power before servicing; for laundry or dishwashing products, also shut off the water supply
• Note the original hardware stack-up and orientation; install the new washer in the same position
• Inspect the bolt/nut and mating surfaces; replace any damaged hardware and tighten per manufacturer guidance
• After reassembly, run a brief test and check for unusual noise or movement

This flipper spring returns the refrigerator's ice dispenser door (chute flapper) to the closed position after dispensing. It helps keep warm air and moisture out to minimize frost at the chute and reduce ice clumping in the bin.

• Provides the closing tension for the ice chute door/flapper
• Helps maintain a proper seal at the dispenser opening
• If worn or broken, you may notice the flapper not closing fully
• Frost/condensation around the chute or ice clumping in the bucket may occur

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove dispenser trim/control to access the ice chute door assembly; note spring orientation and anchor points
• Install the new spring in the same orientation; the flapper moves freely and closes under spring tension
• Wear gloves and use caution—metal edges in the dispenser area can be sharp

This replacement wiper is the OEM-style rubber blade that clears residue from a sealing surface to help restore proper closure and reduce moisture buildup. Install to replace torn, cracked, or worn wiper material for better sealing performance. What it does:

• Wipes water and debris from the seal or track to help maintain a tight closure.
• Reduces leaks, moisture accumulation, and related odors or frost build-up.
• Stops rubbing or improper closing caused by a damaged or missing wiper.
• Restores the intended contact between the seal and mating surface for reliable performance.

• Disconnect power and follow the appliance manufacturer's safety instructions before servicing.
• Typically installs by sliding or snapping into the wiper channel; use care to avoid stretching or tearing the rubber.
• Clean the mating surface and inspect the retainer or track for damage before installing; replace any damaged retainers per OEM instructions.

Color: Black. Size: 12 oz. Acrylic appliance aerosol can spray paint.

This replacement blade is the rotating element used within the appliance assembly to deliver the intended action. Installing a new blade restores smooth, efficient operation when the original is cracked, bent, worn, or missing.

• Provides the mechanical action required by the assembly (rotation/agitation)
• Helps maintain consistent performance and smooth operation
• Common failure signs: rattling or scraping noises, vibration/wobble
• Other symptoms: reduced performance in that section of the appliance, visible chips, cracks, or deformation

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if applicable
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; edges may be sharp
• Note the original blade's orientation and spacing before removal; install the new blade the same way
• Hand-rotate after installation to ensure free movement and clearance before restoring power

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

This 10-16 screw secures panels, brackets, and internal components in your appliance. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a snug fit, reduces vibration and rattling, and keeps parts properly anchored for reliable operation.

• Direct replacement for a missing, worn, or stripped factory screw
• Helps address loose or rattling panels or covers that won't stay secured
• Supports proper alignment and retention of internal components

• Disconnect power; shut off water and/or gas before servicing
• Match the new screw to the original location and length; replace like-for-like
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver for the head style
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin sheet metal
