This thermal overload protector helps prevent motor overheating by interrupting power if temperatures rise past safe limits. It restores the dryer's built-in overheat protection so the motor and components are shielded from heat damage. What it does:

• Senses excessive motor temperature and opens the circuit to stop the motor when it overheats
• Helps prevent motor burnout and wiring damage caused by sustained high temperatures
• Works as the thermal safety device commonly used on dryer motors and related assemblies
• Can resolve symptoms like a dryer that hums but won't run or a motor that shuts off unexpectedly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the part carefully and note thermostat/orientation before removal for correct reinstallation
• If the original part shows signs of damage, inspect motor and wiring for underlying causes before replacing

A replacement lower hinge shim that helps level and align a refrigerator door for smoother opening and a better seal. Use when a door sits unevenly, rubs the cabinet, or doesn't close flush. What it does

• Provides a thin, durable spacer under the bottom hinge to correct door tilt and height
• Restores proper door alignment to improve sealing and reduce rubbing or binding
• Helps stop uneven wear on gasket edges caused by a misaligned door
• Works with the existing hinge assembly; often used during hinge replacement or adjustment

• Disconnect power and remove food from the door area before starting work
• Support the door while loosening or removing hinge fasteners to prevent it from falling
• Install the shim under the bottom hinge plate as needed, then re-torque fasteners and check door alignment

This replacement screw secures panels, trim pieces and small assemblies so covers and components stay aligned and rattle-free. It's a simple, direct fastening part used when an original screw is missing or damaged. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, control housings and other small components to the appliance chassis
• Replaces missing, worn or stripped screws that cause loose panels or rattling noises
• Restores correct alignment of covers and trims after service or disassembly
• Provides a direct, hardware-level repair instead of temporary fixes

• Disconnect power (and gas, where applicable) and ensure the appliance is cool before starting.
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and turn until snug; do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts.
• Keep removed hardware for reference; replace like-for-like if threads or inserts are damaged.
• Wear eye protection and gloves when working on appliances.

This is for the right hand side

A roll pin (spring pin) that secures rotating or sliding components by fitting into matched holes to hold shafts, levers, or brackets in place. Replaces a worn or damaged pin to restore proper mechanical engagement. What it does:

• Holds shafts, levers or hinges in position by expanding into drilled holes for a snug, vibration-resistant fit
• Keeps pulleys, rollers, or linkages from moving out of alignment or sliding off their shafts
• Common symptom: loose or wobbling pulley, lever, or shaft where the retaining pin is worn or broken
• Common symptom: noisy or intermittent operation caused by a pin that no longer secures moving parts

• Inspect mating holes and shaft for wear; replace pin with correct size to ensure secure fit
• Use appropriate pliers or a pin punch and hammer to drive the pin in or out; support the assembly to avoid damage
• Wear eye protection when installing or removing roll pins—pins can snap or fly out under force
• If pin is difficult to remove or install, consider using penetrating oil or heating only per OEM guidance

This ejector arm replaces the dispenser ejector that helps move detergent or rinse aid from the dispenser to the wash chamber for proper release during the cycle. Restores reliable dispensing and prevents missed or partial releases. What it does:

• Physically pushes or guides detergent/rinse into the wash chamber at the correct point in the cycle
• Replaces cracked, broken, or worn ejector arms that fail to move or sit correctly
• Addresses symptoms such as detergent not dispensing, dispenser door sticking, or visible damage to the ejector arm
• Works with the dispenser assembly to ensure consistent product release during operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove the dispenser assembly per the service manual to access and replace the ejector arm
• Inspect surrounding dispenser components (hinges, springs, clips) and replace if damaged
