This fan motor retainer secures the refrigerator's fan motor to its mounting bracket or shroud, reducing vibration and keeping the fan aligned so air circulates properly for consistent cooling.

• Secures the fan motor to its bracket or shroud
• Maintains proper fan alignment and clearance for consistent airflow
• Helps reduce vibration, buzzing, or rattling from a loose motor
• A worn or missing retainer may present as scraping fan noises or uneven airflow

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing; allow moving parts to stop and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan area per your model
• Transfer the motor into the new retainer and reinstall using existing hardware as required
• Ensure the fan blade spins freely and clears the shroud before restoring power

Used to prevent over ice production in the ice dispensing bucket.

Rod retainer clip secures a support rod or shaft to keep moving parts aligned and stable during operation. Replacing a worn or broken clip prevents rattling, binding, or components falling out and helps restore proper mechanical function. What it does:

• Holds a support rod or shaft in place to maintain alignment of moving components.
• Prevents rods from sliding out or shifting, which can cause rattling, binding, or misalignment.
• Replace if the clip is bent, cracked, corroded, or no longer grips the rod securely.
• Common symptom: loose or misaligned parts, unusual noises, or components that detach during use.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing the appliance.
• Access may require removing panels, covers, or nearby components—follow the OEM service manual.
• Remove the old clip and carefully press or snap the replacement into place; avoid over-bending the clip.

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

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 shelf stud secures refrigerator shelves or glass shelves to the side liner, restoring proper support and alignment for safe storage. Replace a broken or missing stud to stop shelves from tilting or slipping. What it does:

• Supports and anchors refrigerator shelves to the cabinet liner
• Keeps glass or wire shelves level and prevents sagging
• Replaces damaged, cracked, or missing shelf studs that allow shelves to tilt
• Helps restore secure shelf placement after impact or wear

• One shelf stud

• Designed for straightforward replacement; remove the shelf before installing
• Align stud with the shelf bracket or notch and press or snap into place as the model requires
• Use care to avoid cracking adjacent trim; do not force excessive pressure
• Disconnect power only if accessing electrical components—this part replacement typically does not require it

This is a flat plain washer used to distribute load and space hardware on appliance assemblies. It helps keep bolts and screws seated and reduces wear on mating surfaces for more secure fastener connections. What it does:

• Provides a flat bearing surface to spread clamp load and protect parts from fastener damage
• Maintains proper spacing and alignment for mounted components
• Helps prevent fastener loosening from vibration when used with the correct bolt or screw
• Commonly used on chassis, suspension, and bracket connections

• One plain flat washer

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing the appliance
• Replace only with the same washer size and thickness as the original for proper fit
• Tighten fasteners to secure but avoid over-torquing which can deform the washer
