• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Replace one fastener at a time to preserve alignment and match to the original hardware
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Do not overtighten into sheet metal

This plain washer is a small hardware spacer used in appliance assemblies. It spreads the load under a fastener to secure parts, maintain alignment, and reduce wear—helping keep brackets, hinges, and mounts tight and operating correctly. What it does

• Replaces cracked, chipped, faded, or missing trim that can collect dirt or show wear
• Restores the original finished look around the handle for improved aesthetics
• Matches the original part's placement and attachment points for straightforward replacement

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off circuit) before starting any repair
• Follow the appliance service manual for handle/door removal steps; retain original mounting hardware unless replacements are specified
• Typically installs with existing screws—do not force or modify the part

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the crisper drawer and lift off the cover/shelf as needed
• Release the old slide from its retainers (a small flat-blade screwdriver may help) and note the linkage to the vent
• Snap in the new slide, confirm smooth travel end to end, then reassemble

This support mounts in the dispenser area to secure the ice housing assembly. It helps keep the chute and door properly aligned so ice dispenses smoothly and the opening seals as designed.

• 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 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 mounting screw secures appliance panels and components to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. Use when a damaged or missing screw causes loose trim, gaps, or vibrating noises; order by part number to ensure a match. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or trim to keep parts aligned and secure.
• Stops vibration and rattling caused by loose or missing screws.
• Common symptoms: visible gaps, loose panels, hardware falling out, or excess noise.
• Use the part number and/or existing screw to ensure correct size and thread before ordering.

• Disconnect power and water before accessing internal components.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head.
• Turn until snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack trim.
• Keep small parts away from children and pets during repair.

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
