• Common signs include loose or wobbly parts, rattling, missing screws, or damaged screw heads/threads

• Disconnect power before servicing; if working near a water connection, shut off the water supply
• Use the correct driver/bit and start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten to prevent stripping plastic or threads
• Reuse any model-specific washers or spacers if present

This compressor start device kit helps your refrigerator or freezer's compressor start reliably each cooling cycle. Replacing a weak or failed start device can restore cooling performance and stop repetitive clicking or brief humming when the compressor tries to start.

• Powers the compressor's start winding to initiate start-up, then disengages
• Supports consistent compressor starts to maintain proper temperatures
• Common symptoms of failure: unit warm, compressor not running, rapid clicking from rear, humming then shuts off
• May accompany signs like heat damage or a burnt odor at the old device

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; allow components to cool
• Located on the side of the compressor behind the rear access panel
• Photograph wiring and compressor pin layout; transfer wires one at a time and seat the device fully on the pins
• If your unit uses a separate run capacitor, reconnect it exactly as originally wired

This aluminum strap secures the defrost heater firmly against the evaporator coil to maintain proper contact during defrost. Correct contact improves heat transfer so frost melts evenly and helps prevent recurring ice buildup on the evaporator.

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator for proper contact and heat transfer
• Promotes complete, even defrosting across the evaporator coil
• Helps reduce repeat frost/ice accumulation caused by a shifted or loose heater
• Typical clues include a loose heater, uneven frost pattern, or rattling near the evaporator

• Disconnect power and allow ice to melt before accessing the evaporator
• Use care around sharp fins and fragile refrigerant tubing; do not puncture or deform the coil
• Position the heater per your model's parts diagram and tighten the strap for firm, even contact
• Verify wiring is routed clear of the fan and moving parts before reassembly

This plug covers the small factory test opening on an appliance cabinet or liner. Replacing a missing or damaged plug helps close the opening to maintain a better seal and restore a clean, finished appearance.

• Seals the factory test opening in the cabinet/panel
• Helps limit air and moisture infiltration through the hole
• Reduces condensation or frost forming around the opening
• Restores a finished look when the original cap is missing or damaged

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Clean and dry the opening area for proper fit
• Align and press the plug in by hand until it sits flush—do not force or enlarge the hole
• Avoid sharp tools or sealants that could damage the liner or insulation

This refrigerator crisper pan, also called the crisper drawer, stores fruits and vegetables in the fresh food compartment. Replace a cracked or missing bin to restore smooth sliding, tidy organization, and reliable produce storage.

• Organizes and contains produce in the crisper section of the refrigerator
• Slides on side rails for smooth opening and closing
• Works with the crisper cover/humidity control (if equipped) to help maintain proper storage conditions
• Typical symptoms: cracked or broken bin, damaged tabs or front lip, drawer falls off tracks, sticks, or won't close fully

• Remove food and any glass cover above the drawer; handle glass carefully
• Pull the old pan straight out and lift the front slightly to clear the stops
• Inspect and clean the rails/supports before installing the new pan
• Align the new pan on the rails and slide fully in; do not force

This factory fastener secures appliance panels and components. Replace a missing, stripped, or corroded screw to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and keep brackets and covers properly aligned.

• Fastens panels, brackets, and internal parts as specified by the manufacturer
• Helps maintain alignment and reduces vibration/rattling
• Replace if the head is stripped, threads are damaged, or corrosion is present
• Symptoms include loose/missing hardware, gaps, or rattling during operation

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water if applicable before servicing
• Use the correct driver/bit size to avoid stripping the head
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; do not overtighten
• Match screw length/thread to the location; replace in sets when required

Here is a replacement shelf support grommet that is used in freezers and refrigerators. The grommets are used to provide stability for the shelves in the refrigerator. If they are broken or missing, the shelves will not sit correctly, and owners won't be able to put anything onto the shelves. A replacement grommet should slide into place, but may need to be gently tapped to ensure a proper seal is made.The shelf support grommet is for use with certain refrigerator models from Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Crosley. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that was sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is important to note that the grommets are sold individually. If more than one is needed, owners will need to order multiple.

Optional flexible ice tray for those that dont have an icemaker
