This defrost drain pan collects water from the refrigerator's automatic defrost cycle and channels it safely to the evaporator area for evaporation, helping prevent leaks and water pooling beneath the appliance. What it does:

• Collects and channels defrost water away from the freezer/refrigerator cabinet
• Prevents water from pooling under the unit, which can cause floor damage or odor
• Helps proper evaporation of defrosted water at the compressor/evaporator location
• Reduces risk of ice build-up from standing water in the cabinet

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Remove lower access panels or kickplate to reach and replace the pan
• Inspect and clear the drain tube and heater while replacing the pan for best results
• Handle gently to avoid bending or cracking the pan

This ice cream shelf rail secures the small shelf/bin on the freezer door so tubs and containers stay in place. It restores the door bin edge that holds lightweight frozen goods and keeps items from shifting during normal use. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, broken or missing freezer door rail that allows containers to fall or tip
• Provides a stable lip for ice cream tubs, butter, and other small frozen items
• Helps restore proper fit and appearance of the freezer door storage area
• Fits into the existing door bin mounting points and holds the bin edge securely

• One ice cream shelf rail

• Unplug the appliance or shut off power before servicing to avoid electrical hazard
• Remove the door bin or ice cream shelf per your model's instructions to access the rail
• Typically snaps or screws into place; keep original fasteners if present and reuse when possible

Right hand side. For the left hand side order 241674401

This solenoid actuator is the electromechanical device that moves a latch or linkage when energized, restoring the appliance's intended mechanical action. It provides a direct replacement to re-enable reliable actuation. What it does:

• Converts electrical signal into a mechanical push or pull to operate a latch, door, dispenser or linkage
• Commonly used where a timed or motor-driven movement is needed during a cycle
• Symptoms this part can cause: appliance fails to actuate a door, latch, dispenser or similar mechanism when called for
• Replacing a worn or failed actuator restores proper mechanical response to control signals

• One solenoid actuator

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid shock or unintended actuation
• Remove any panels or trim as needed to access the actuator; note wire and mounting locations for reassembly
• Reconnect wiring and test the function on a short cycle after installation

This control rod bracket secures the control rod to the appliance, restoring proper linkage and part alignment for reliable operation. Designed to replace a worn or broken mounting bracket and stabilize control movement. What it does:

• Holds the control rod in place so levers and linkages operate smoothly
• Restores proper alignment when the rod is loose, bent, or detached
• Helps eliminate binding or intermittent actuator movement caused by a damaged bracket
• Supports consistent mechanical operation of the connected control components

• One control rod mounting bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Remove any panels or covers as needed to access the bracket; keep fasteners organized for reassembly
• Inspect adjacent linkage and fasteners; replace any damaged clips or screws for a secure fit
