This replacement slide is the rail that mounts inside the freezer and supports the storage basket or drawer so it glides in and out smoothly. Replacing a worn slide restores smooth operation and keeps baskets properly aligned.

• Supports and guides the freezer basket/drawer during opening and closing
• Helps keep the basket level and correctly aligned on its track
• Common fix for cracked, warped, or broken rails
• Symptoms include binding, rough travel, derailment, or difficulty opening/closing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Remove the basket, then unfasten and remove the existing slide; note its mounting position.
• Install the new slide using the original hardware; do not overtighten.
• Reinstall the basket and verify smooth travel.

This is an authentic OEM freezer basket bumper sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on freezer baskets. Freezer basket bumpers are attached to the baskets to keep them from sliding around inside the freezer. If the bumper breaks, the basket will not stay in place, and the contents could shift or fall out. Freezer baskets create more storage room inside a freezer. These baskets are normally located on the bottom of the freezer, with freezer racks located above. Freezer baskets are ideal for storing smaller packages that might not stack well on the racks. Over time, normal wear and tear may cause the bumper to crack or break completely; if this happens, the bumper should be replaced. Remove the contents of the freezer basket. Remove the freezer basket from the freezer. Push the new bumper onto the freezer basket. Replace the contents of the basket and put it back into the freezer. This handle freezer basket is made of high-quality, white molded plastic. It is designed for use in freezers manufactured by Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Electrolux.

Screen - drain keeps the drain path clear by trapping lint and small debris before it reaches the pump or drain hose, helping reduce clogs and improve drainage. Simple replacement restores proper water flow and drain performance. What it does:

• Traps lint, hair and small debris to help prevent clogs in the drain path
• Helps maintain consistent water drainage and pump operation
• Replace if you notice slow draining, standing water, or visible debris at the drain opening
• Sits in the appliance's drain assembly to protect downstream components

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; turn off the water supply if the model requires it
• Access the drain area per your model's service instructions (remove access panel or wash tub components as needed)
• Inspect surrounding seals and hoses for damage and clean mating surfaces before installing the new screen

The insert nut provides a durable threaded anchor in thin metal or plastic panels. It lets mounting screws tighten securely so covers, brackets, or trim stay fastened and aligned without loosening from vibration.

• Adds internal threads in a thin panel so a machine screw can be used
• Secures panels, brackets, or trim to the appliance cabinet or frame
• Replaces a stripped, damaged, or missing insert to restore screw retention
• Symptoms addressed: screws won't tighten, hardware falls out, panel rattles or shifts

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; shut off water or gas supply if applicable
• Access the mounting location; remove the screw and the old insert if present
• Position the new insert squarely in the hole/slot and press or snap into place as designed
• Reinstall the screw and tighten snugly—do not overtighten to avoid stripping the insert or panel

This replacement tube routes water from the refrigerator's defrost area to the drain pan to help prevent leaks and pooling. A simple, direct-fit part for restoring proper drain flow and reducing water buildup. What it does

• Channels defrost and condensation water to the drain pan to prevent interior pooling.
• Helps maintain normal drainage to avoid ice buildup or water leaks.
• Restores a damaged, cracked or clogged original tube where flow is restricted.
• Works as a service part when inspecting drain path during defrost/drain issues.

• One replacement tube.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove access panels as needed and route tube along the factory path; avoid sharp bends or kinks.
• Inspect drain openings and heater components while replacing the tube.

This is a right-side tilt-out end cap that replaces a damaged or missing end piece on a refrigerator/freezer tilt-out bin. Restores secure mounting and proper pivoting of the bin for smooth opening and closing. What it does:

• Serves as the right end support for a tilt-out bin, providing the pivot point and cosmetic trim
• Keeps the bin aligned so it opens and closes smoothly
• Replaces cracked, broken, or worn end caps that allow the bin to sag or fall out
• Helps prevent rattling and excessive play of the tilt-out bin

• One right-side tilt-out end cap

• High-level snap-in or screw-mount replacement; remove the bin and follow OEM instructions
• Remove stored items before servicing and support the bin while replacing the cap
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts to prevent further damage

This compressor grommet is a rubber mounting isolator that cushions and secures the compressor to the appliance chassis, helping reduce vibration and noise while preventing metal-to-metal contact and premature wear. What it does:

• Cushions compressor movement to reduce vibration transmitted to the cabinet
• Dampens noise and rattling caused by compressor operation
• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that can wear mounting points
• Helps keep the compressor positioned and secured under load

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the compressor or base pan
• 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 defrost heater melts frost and ice on the evaporator so the refrigerator can cycle normally and maintain proper airflow. Replaces a failed or broken heater to restore automatic defrost operation. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator during the defrost cycle to remove accumulated frost and ice
• Helps prevent blocked airflow and extended cooling cycles caused by ice buildup
• Commonly replaced when evaporator is iced over or defrost system fails
• Works as part of the appliance's timed or adaptive defrost system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the heater and evaporator fins carefully to avoid damage or bending
• Inspect mounting clips and terminals; replace if corroded or damaged
• Verify continuity with a multimeter before and after installation

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.
