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

• Distributes clamping force under screws/bolts to protect surfaces
• Maintains spacing for proper alignment of assembled components
• Helps reduce metal-to-metal wear and friction at mounting points
• Replace if missing, bent, worn, or if you notice looseness or rattling around a fastened area

• 1 plain washer

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supplies before service
• Note the original order/orientation of hardware; take a photo for reference
• Replace one-for-one and tighten to a snug fit—do not overtighten
• Check alignment and operation before restoring power and utilities

This compressor start device (5SP) helps your refrigerator's compressor start reliably and can resolve clicking/no-start issues. Replacing a weak start device may restore cooling performance and eliminate repeated clicking from the compressor area. What it does:

• Provides PTC-assisted start to the compressor, then disengages the start circuit after startup
• Helps safeguard the compressor by interrupting the start circuit under abnormal current/heat conditions
• Failure symptoms can include: refrigerator not cooling, compressor won't start and clicks every few seconds, or intermittent cooling/short cycling

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the compressor compartment; remove the cover/retainer and note wire locations
• Pull the old start device straight off the compressor pins; align and push the new device fully onto the terminals
• Reconnect wiring, reinstall any cover or bracket, and restore power to test

Size: 5/16 to 1/4. Universal John Guess Push On

• 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 replacement screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components to the cabinet or chassis. The #8-15 x 1/2 in. size restores a snug, reliable hold when original hardware is missing, stripped, or corroded.

• Fastens panels, brackets, and trim to the appliance cabinet or chassis
• Helps reduce rattling, vibration, or looseness caused by missing/stripped hardware
• Restores proper alignment of parts that have shifted due to loose fasteners
• Size/spec: #8-15 thread, 1/2-inch length; use where this size is specified

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water supplies before servicing
• Replace one screw at a time to maintain alignment of parts
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; do not overtighten
• Use a matching driver/bit type for the screw head used in your appliance

This chute channels water and wash additives from the dispenser housing into the tub. Replacing a damaged or clogged chute helps ensure proper dispensing and reduces leaks or residue around the dispenser area. What it does:

• Guides detergent/bleach/fabric softener from the dispenser to the wash tub
• Maintains proper flow to prevent backups at the dispenser drawer
• Helps reduce leaks and drips from the dispenser area
• Common failure symptoms include water backing up into the drawer, detergent residue left in the dispenser, or leaks at the front-left/top of the washer

• 1 chute

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access is typically from the top; remove panels as needed to reach the dispenser assembly
• Transfer any seals, clamps, or hardware from the old chute
• Reassemble and run a brief fill/rinse to check for proper flow and leaks

This bearing nut secures a bearing and related rotating components on the shaft, keeping the assembly tight and aligned for smooth, dependable operation. Replacing a worn or stripped nut helps stop wobble, noise, and drive slippage.

• Locks the bearing/stack onto the shaft to prevent loosening
• Maintains alignment for smooth rotation and reduced vibration
• Helps restore consistent drive in shaft-driven assemblies
• Typical symptoms: loose or non-turning drive, rattling/grinding, or visible thread damage

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water if working near dispenser components
• Remove the related assembly to access the shaft; note part order for reassembly
• Hand-start the nut to avoid cross-threading; verify thread direction against the original
• Tighten securely; inspect the bearing, washers/spacers, and shaft for wear

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.
