• Small electrical switch designed to mount at the door latch or frame and connect to the appliance wiring harness

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before attempting service
• Access may require removing panels, trim, or the door latch assembly; keep track of screws and fasteners
• Observe wiring orientation and connector positions; replace exactly as removed or tag wires

This condenser coil assembly removes heat from the refrigerant so your refrigerator can maintain proper cooling. Replacing a damaged or clogged condenser restores heat rejection and helps the compressor run more efficiently. What it does

• Transfers heat from the refrigerant to the surrounding air so the system can cool interior compartments
• Helps prevent the compressor from running continuously by allowing proper heat dissipation
• Commonly fails when fins are bent, clogged with debris, or corroded, causing reduced cooling performance
• Can cause the refrigerator to run hot, overheat at the rear, or cycle abnormally when compromised

• One condenser coil assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Replacement typically requires removal of lower rear access panels and panel fasteners; keep hardware for reinstallation
• Handle the coil carefully to avoid bending fins or damaging tubing

This door stop is the replacement part that limits a refrigerator door's swing to prevent over-extension and protect the hinge and cabinet. It restores proper door alignment and helps the door close reliably. What it does:

• Stops the door at the correct open position to prevent damage to hinges and adjacent cabinetry
• Helps maintain door alignment so the seal engages fully for consistent cooling
• Reduces slamming and uneven wear that can cause noisy or misaligned doors
• Works at the hinge area to control movement rather than as a latch or gasket

• One door stop

• Designed for straightforward replacement at the hinge; remove power only if working near electrical components
• Keep hardware from the original part; replace only the components shown in the manufacturer diagram
• Inspect hinge and surrounding parts for wear while replacing the stop; tighten loose hinge screws as needed

This inverter is the compressor control module that converts incoming power and regulates motor speed for variable-speed compressors, helping the fridge maintain consistent temperatures and energy-efficient cooling. What it does:

• Supplies and converts power to the compressor motor so the compressor runs at variable speeds
• Regulates compressor speed to maintain steady cooling and reduce temperature swings
• Can cause the compressor not to run or intermittent cooling when faulty
• Fault symptoms may include error codes, fridge not cooling, or unusual compressor behavior/noise

• One inverter (compressor control) module

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting to avoid shock
• Handle the board carefully and avoid static discharge; use ESD protection if available
• Verify the replacement PN and wiring match the original before connecting

This cabinet corner trim is a direct-replacement trim piece that restores a finished edge and protects the appliance cabinet corner from chips, dings, and moisture. It improves appearance and keeps the cabinet edge sealed. What it does:

• Covers and protects the exposed cabinet corner to prevent further chipping or damage
• Restores a clean, finished look where the original corner trim is cracked, broken, or missing
• Helps reduce gaps that can collect dirt or moisture along the cabinet edge
• Fits into the cabinet trim profile to hold adjacent trim pieces in place when intact

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work if trim removal requires access behind panels.
• Remove the damaged trim carefully — some styles snap off, others are secured with clips or screws; keep hardware if reusable.
• Align the replacement trim with the cabinet edge and press or fasten into place until seated; avoid forcing plastic to prevent cracking.

This replacement rear compressor base roller supports the refrigerator compressor on the cabinet rear base, helping keep the compressor properly seated and reducing wear from vibration and movement. What it does

• Provides a rolling support under the compressor to keep it aligned and off the cabinet floor
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling that can occur from a loose or worn compressor mount
• Prevents compressor body from dragging or scraping the cabinet base
• Commonly replaced when the roller is cracked, worn flat, missing, or causing noise

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Support or secure the compressor and cabinet before removing the old roller to avoid sudden movement
• Basic hand tools usually required; inspect mounting hardware and replace any damaged fasteners
• Do not attempt sealed-system repairs.

This rubber compressor mounting grommet cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and noise that can transfer to the cabinet. It helps maintain stable compressor positioning for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to lower noise and rattling
• Dampens movement that can cause abrasion or wear on mounting hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the compressor assembly
• Common symptom: excessive buzzing, vibration, or rattling from the back of the appliance

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Support the compressor before removing mounts to prevent shifting or damage.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and hardware; replace any worn or damaged pieces.

This genuine replacement spring provides the tension for the refrigerator water/filter release rod so the filter stays secured and releases correctly. Restores proper filter engagement for smooth insert and removal. What it does:

• Applies tension to the filter release rod so the filter locks and ejects reliably
• Helps prevent the filter from slipping or failing to latch
• Reduces binding or sticking when inserting or removing the filter
• Works with the filter housing release mechanism to maintain normal operation
