• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening (especially into plastic)
• Retain and transfer any original spacers or clips used with this fastener

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 temperature control knob replaces a worn or missing knob so you can easily adjust the cold-control setting. Restores smooth, precise temperature adjustments and a clean, factory look. What it does:

• Attaches to the cold-control (thermostat) shaft to change the temperature setting
• Provides secure grip and pointer alignment for accurate selections
• Typical failure symptoms: cracked or missing knob, stripped hub, or a knob that slips or won't turn the control

• 1 temperature control knob

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the shaft; avoid prying at an angle to prevent shaft damage
• Align the shaft shape with the new knob and press firmly until fully seated
• The pointer aligns with the control graphics after installation

This refrigerator seal restores a tight barrier between internal components. Replacing a worn or damaged seal helps prevent air leaks and moisture intrusion, supporting proper airflow, stable temperatures, and reduced frost or condensation around the joint.

• Creates an air-tight barrier between mating surfaces
• Helps maintain correct airflow and temperature balance between compartments
• Reduces frost, condensation, and warm/cold spots near the sealed area
• Common signs of failure: visible gaps, loose/crumbled seal, rattling panel, moisture or frost at the joint

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the related cover or housing to access the old seal
• Clean contact surfaces; install the new seal in the same orientation without stretching or pinching
• Reassemble and verify an even seal and normal airflow before returning to service

This replacement slide is the rail that mounts inside the freezer and supports the storage basket or drawer so it glides in and out smoothly. Replacing a worn slide restores smooth operation and keeps baskets properly aligned.

• Supports and guides the freezer basket/drawer during opening and closing
• Helps keep the basket level and correctly aligned on its track
• Common fix for cracked, warped, or broken rails
• Symptoms include binding, rough travel, derailment, or difficulty opening/closing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Remove the basket, then unfasten and remove the existing slide; note its mounting position.
• Install the new slide using the original hardware; do not overtighten.
• Reinstall the basket and verify smooth travel.

This support is a small mounting bracket used inside the appliance to hold an interior component, such as a shelf or basket. Replacing a cracked or missing support restores a secure, level fit and helps prevent wobbling or dropping.

• Provides a stable mounting point for a shelf, basket, rail, or panel
• Keeps interior components aligned and level
• Common symptoms: shelf/basket tilts, won't seat, or falls; visible cracks or missing support
• Replace if broken, deformed, or worn to restore proper fit

• Disconnect power and clear the work area before starting
• Remove the affected shelf/basket/panel to access the mounting point
• Release the damaged support (snap tabs or remove screw), align, and install the new support
• Reinstall the component and verify it sits level and secure

This replacement tube restores a secure, leak-resistant fluid path in your refrigerator/freezer. Replacing a damaged or brittle tube helps prevent water where it shouldn't be and keeps the system flowing as designed.

• Provides a dedicated pathway for fluid movement within the appliance
• Helps prevent leaks caused by cracks, splits, or loose connections
• Replaces kinked or clogged tubing that can restrict flow
• Common symptoms include water leaking inside or under the unit and visible damage to the existing tube

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off the water supply before servicing
• Note the original routing and connection points to ensure proper reinstallation
• Transfer and reuse any original clamps, grommets, or fittings if not supplied with the part
• Push connections fully home, secure clamps, and check for leaks after reassembly

This light socket securely holds the appliance bulb and provides the electrical connection to illuminate the compartment when the door is opened. Replacing a faulty socket restores interior lighting so you can easily see contents.

• Provides the electrical connection and physical mounting for the light bulb
• Common failure symptoms: light won't turn on, flickers, or only works when the bulb is jiggled
• Show signs of heat discoloration, loose terminals, or intermittent contact

• Unplug the appliance before service; power is off
• Allow the bulb and surrounding area to cool before handling
• Handle wiring carefully; transfer conductors to the new socket one at a time to maintain correct connections
• Do not exceed the bulb type/wattage specified on the appliance rating label

Screen - drain keeps the drain path clear by trapping lint and small debris before it reaches the pump or drain hose, helping reduce clogs and improve drainage. Simple replacement restores proper water flow and drain performance. What it does:

• Traps lint, hair and small debris to help prevent clogs in the drain path
• Helps maintain consistent water drainage and pump operation
• Replace if you notice slow draining, standing water, or visible debris at the drain opening
• Sits in the appliance's drain assembly to protect downstream components

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; turn off the water supply if the model requires it
• Access the drain area per your model's service instructions (remove access panel or wash tub components as needed)
• Inspect surrounding seals and hoses for damage and clean mating surfaces before installing the new screen
