This is a Plazcrew #8-10 screw used to fasten appliance panels, trim and components. It replaces lost or damaged screws to restore secure fit and reduce rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, trim pieces and small appliance components
• Restores proper alignment and prevents vibration-related noise
• Replaces missing or stripped fasteners that cause loose or wobbly parts
• Matches OEM fit for repair and maintenance where this screw is specified

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working
• Use the correct sized screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent thread or component damage
• Keep small parts away from children and work over a tray to avoid loss

This dairy door is the flip-up cover for the refrigerator's dairy compartment on the fresh-food door. It keeps butter and cheese covered and contained, restoring a clean, finished look when the original cover is cracked or missing.

• Covers the dairy compartment and hinges open for easy access
• Helps keep small dairy items contained and organized on the door
• Replaces a cracked, warped, discolored, loose, or missing cover
• Closes properly when seated on the original hinge posts

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the old cover by releasing its tabs from the hinge posts
• Align the new cover with the hinge posts and press to snap into place
• Avoid forcing brittle plastic; allow the part to reach room temperature before installation

A replacement sliding basket that restores smooth, stable drawer movement in refrigerator or freezer compartments so stored items slide out easily for access. Replaces a worn or damaged basket assembly to keep storage organized. What it does:

• Provides a rolling/sliding drawer surface so you can pull stored items out without tipping or spilling
• Restores proper track engagement when original basket binds, jams, or comes off the rails
• Helps stop excessive wobble, scraping, or uneven travel caused by worn parts
• Supports normal item storage and retrieval without altering fridge function

• High-level replacement: remove contents and existing basket, align onto tracks, and slide into place until it clicks/locks
• Use basic hand tools only; do not force parts—inspect tracks and rollers for damage before installing
• Disconnect power only if service requires working near electrical components; otherwise power-down not typically required for interior basket swaps
• If any mounting hardware or clips are missing/damaged, replace them to ensure secure operation

This shroud assembly is the molded housing that directs airflow and protects internal components. It restores proper airflow routing for efficient operation and helps reduce noise and debris entry around the blower area. What it does:

• Directs and channels airflow from the blower to the vent or drum, improving performance.
• Protects the blower motor and wiring from lint, debris, and incidental contact.
• Helps reduce blower noise by enclosing and stabilizing the blower area.
• Worn, cracked, or damaged shrouds can contribute to reduced airflow, unusual noise, or visible gaps near the blower.

• One shroud assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning work.
• Remove outer panels or access covers to reach the blower housing.
• Support the blower/motor assembly during removal and align mounting tabs carefully; avoid forcing fasteners.

This interior light shield protects and diffuses the refrigerator light, helping produce even illumination while covering the bulb. It restores a finished look and prevents direct contact with the lamp for safer operation. What it does:

• Covers the interior light to diffuse and soften illumination for better visibility
• Protects the bulb from accidental impact and food contact
• Helps prevent direct glare from the lamp
• Replaces cracked, yellowed, missing, or loose light covers that reduce light output

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid shock
• Handle the plastic shield carefully to avoid cracking during removal/installation
• Usually snaps or screws into place; align tabs with housing and press gently

This tube clamp secures small tubing and lines inside the appliance to prevent movement and reduce wear. It keeps hoses and tubes routed properly so they don't rub against sharp edges or vibrate during operation. What it does:

• Holds water, drain or refrigerant tubing in place to prevent sagging and chafing
• Reduces vibration and rattling from loose lines
• Helps prevent tubing wear that can lead to leaks or pinch damage
• Keeps hoses routed neatly for reliable appliance operation

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before beginning any repair
• Remove any access panels needed to reach the clamp location; use caution around sharp sheet metal
• Replace only the damaged clamp with the same style and secure tubing firmly but without over-tightening
• If tubing shows damage where it was rubbing, replace or repair the tubing before reinstalling the clamp
