• Use your model's diagram to locate the sleeve and note orientation before removal
• Clean and inspect the mating shaft/pin or fastener; replace any severely worn components
• Seat the sleeve fully; avoid over-tightening hardware that passes through the sleeve

Replacement slide restores smooth, reliable movement for a single appliance drawer or shelf. Replacing a worn or damaged slide can stop sticking, sagging, or misaligned travel and restore proper alignment. What it does:

• Guides and supports the drawer or shelf along its track for smooth opening and closing; symptoms: sticking, binding, or incomplete travel.
• Keeps the drawer aligned and prevents sagging or tilting; symptoms: drawer sits uneven or rubs against the cabinet.
• Replaces worn, cracked or broken slide hardware to reduce noise and catch/drag during use; symptoms: grinding, rattling, or sudden drops.
• Enables consistent load support and smoother operation after wear or accidental damage.

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance if work requires removing panels near electrical components; follow appliance safety guidance.
• Remove drawer or shelf and inspect mating rails and fasteners; replace damaged screws or clips before installing the slide.
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid forcing parts; align slide evenly and test full travel before returning the drawer to service.

This replacement screw secures appliance components so brackets, shelves, trim, or panels stay firmly in place. Install a new screw when the original is missing, stripped, or corroded to restore a tight, rattle-free fit.

• Fastens brackets, panels, trim, or covers to the cabinet or liner
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration and noise
• Direct replacement for a missing, rusted, or stripped fastener
• Use wherever your model's parts diagram specifies this screw

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water if working near water lines
• Match thread and length to the original location as shown in your model's parts diagram

• Retain and transfer any original spacers or clips used with this fastener

Quantity of 1 clip.

Note: See kit# 5303922007 and 5304406520.

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:
