• Replace grommets while supporting the compressor to avoid strain on lines and connections
• Inspect remaining mounting grommets; replace all worn isolators for best performance

This drain cup collects and channels defrost meltwater away from the evaporator area to the fridge drain system, helping prevent leaks and ice buildup. Fits in the evaporator/defrost tray area to guide water to the drain. What it does:

• Catches meltwater from the evaporator and funnels it toward the drain line or drain pan
• Helps prevent water pooling, leaks, and ice buildup around the evaporator
• Restores proper defrost drainage when the original cup is cracked, warped, or missing
• Simple, passive plastic part — no electrical connections

• One drain cup

• Remove power to the appliance before accessing internal panels; follow manufacturer safety guidelines

This small plastic clip secures the dishwasher drain hose to the pump assembly or discharge fitting, keeping the hose in place and helping prevent leaks or disconnection during operation. What it does:

• Holds the drain hose firmly to the pump or outlet fitting to maintain a watertight connection
• Prevents the hose from slipping free during drain cycles
• Helps stop water leaks and washing chamber flooding caused by a loose hose
• Useful when replacing a cracked or broken retaining clip

• One drain hose retaining clip

• Disconnect power and water supply before accessing the dishwasher lower access area
• Remove the access panel or kickplate to reach the drain hose and pump connection
• Use pliers or a flat tool to remove the old clip and snap the new clip over the hose/fitting until fully seated

• Handle edges carefully and wear gloves to avoid cuts from metal parts.
• Reinstall original mounting screws or clips; do not overtighten plastic components.

A small metal clamp that secures the refrigerator's capillary (temperature sensing) tube to the cold control so the thermostat reads temperatures accurately. Replaces worn or missing clamps to keep the sensing tube stable and prevent movement-related issues. What it does:

• Holds the capillary/sensing tube firmly against the cold control or cabinet
• Helps maintain accurate thermostat sensing by preventing tube movement
• Reduces vibration or rattling from a loose sensing tube
• Stops intermittent temperature swings caused by a displaced capillary tube

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance.
• Handle the capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Install clamp over the tube and secure to the control or bracket using the factory hole or fastener; do not overtighten.
