This coupling is the small connector that links a drive motor to its mating component, transferring rotation so the appliance operates smoothly. Replacing a cracked or stripped coupling restores reliable drive and helps prevent further wear.

• Connects the motor shaft to the driven part to transmit torque
• Maintains alignment to reduce wobble and slippage
• Failure signs can include no movement, intermittent operation, clicking/grinding, or visible cracks/rounding
• Restores consistent motion of the connected part once replaced

• Disconnect power (and shut off water/gas if applicable) before servicing
• Access the drive area and remove any covers/tray/drive components as needed
• Pull the old coupling straight off the keyed or D-shaped shaft; clean and inspect the shaft
• Align and press the new coupling fully onto the shaft, reassemble, and test

An ice maker delay mechanism is the small timing device that staggers the steps of the ice-making cycle so each action happens in the right order. Replacing a worn unit helps restore steady, predictable ice production.

• Provides a brief, controlled delay in the ice maker cycle so components engage in the correct order
• Helps prevent short cycling or erratic operation
• Failure may result in no ice, intermittent ice, or stalls mid-cycle
• May be accompanied by repeated clicking or ticking from the ice maker head

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice maker assembly to access the delay mechanism
• Transfer any brackets or clips from the original part if required
• Align components carefully during reassembly to avoid bending any lever arms

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.

This freezer door gasket creates a tight seal around the door to keep cold air in and humid air out. Replacing a worn gasket restores proper temperature control, reduces frost, and helps the door close and seal correctly.

• Seals the gap between the freezer door and cabinet to maintain cold temperatures
• Blocks warm, moist room air that can cause frost and ice buildup
• Helps prevent sweating/condensation around the door perimeter
• Addresses issues from torn, shrunken, brittle, or deformed gaskets that won't seal

• Disconnect power before servicing; clear items from the door
• Lay gasket flat and warm gently (hot water or low heat) to relax kinks before installation
• Loosen inner-liner screws/retainer, press gasket fully into the channel, then tighten screws evenly
• Perform a dollar-bill test around the perimeter; gently warm stiff areas to smooth and adjust door alignment if needed

Capacitor supplies a short burst of stored electrical energy to help the appliance motor start and run efficiently. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore reliable motor startup and reduce humming or intermittent operation. What it does

• Provides the electrical boost motors need to start and maintain proper speed.
• A failing capacitor commonly causes motors to hum, struggle to start, run slowly, or stop unexpectedly.
• Used on motors and fans that require a start/run assist; replacing a bad capacitor often resolves startup and intermittent operation issues.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor safely (use insulated tools and gloves) before touching terminals — capacitors can hold a dangerous charge.
• Photograph or label wiring and terminal locations before removal so replacements reconnect exactly the same way.

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
