This door stop is the replacement limiter that keeps an appliance door from over-rotating, protecting hinges and cabinet edges. It restores consistent door travel and helps the door close smoothly and securely. What it does:

• Limits how far the door opens to prevent hinge or cabinet damage
• Helps the door close in the correct position and reduces slamming
• Fits into the door/hinge assembly to provide a stable stop point
• Common symptom: door opens too far, bangs against surrounding cabinetry, or hang/align issues

• High-level replacement — remove door/hinge trim as needed per your model's instructions
• Use basic hand tools; keep fasteners separate and note orientation for reassembly
• Disconnect power if working near electrical components (applies to ovens/microwaves)

This access cover is a replacement access panel that protects internal components and closes service openings for safe, finished appliance operation. It restores a secure, clean appearance and prevents debris from entering service areas. What it does:

• Keeps wiring and connections enclosed and out of reach
• Prevents dirt, lint, and small objects from entering service areas
• Restores a finished look and secures loose or missing panels
• Helps reduce drafts through service openings

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before installing
• Use basic hand tools; align tabs or screw holes before fastening
• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts and prevent damage to surrounding trim

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure the defrost timer assembly to the refrigerator control housing, restoring proper fastening and preventing the timer from shifting or vibrating during operation. What it does:

• Secures the defrost timer to the control housing so the timer stays in position.
• Prevents vibration or movement that can cause intermittent contact or noisy operation.
• Helps maintain reliable defrost cycle timing by keeping the timer properly aligned.
• Addresses symptoms such as a loose or missing fastener, rattling behind the control panel, or a timer that shifts when the door is opened.

• Unplug the appliance before starting work to prevent electrical shock.
• Access the control housing or timer bracket per your model's service instructions.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit; do not overtighten—stop when snug to avoid stripping.
• Retain removed hardware for reference and compare screw length/threads before installing.

A small replacement mounting clip that secures interior trim and panels to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. Use when a broken or missing clip leaves gaps or lets panels or trim sit loose on the appliance. What it does:

• Secures trim, access panels or small plastic covers to the appliance frame
• Restores proper alignment and helps eliminate panel vibration or rattling
• Replaces cracked, worn or missing clips that allow gaps or loose parts
• Works as a simple fastener where the original clip has failed

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair

• Supports efficient cooling and stable compartment temperatures
• Can stop short-cycling or extended run times caused by air leaks
• Prevents moisture intrusion that can lead to corrosion or odor issues

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repairs
