This drive cam is the rotating plastic cam used in the refrigerator's ice system. It transfers the motor's motion to linked parts to advance the cycle so ice can be produced and dispensed smoothly.

• Transfers rotation from the motor to move internal levers/gears in the ice assembly
• Advances the ice-making/dispensing cycle
• Wear or cracks can cause stalling, clicking/grinding, or no/weak ice dispensing
• May lead to ice not ejecting or jamming mid-cycle

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the ice bin; access the ice maker or dispenser mechanism as your model requires
• Note the cam's orientation and alignment marks; seat the new cam fully on the shaft
• Reassemble, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm operation

This replacement ice container front is the front cover for the freezer's ice bucket. It restores a secure front wall so cubes stay contained and the bucket seats and dispenses correctly. What it does:

• Forms the front face of the ice container to keep ice contained
• Helps the bucket fit and align for proper dispensing
• Replaces a cracked, broken, loose, or missing front panel
• May help if ice spills from the bin or the bucket won't slide in or latch properly

• 1 ice container front (front cover only)

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove the ice bucket from the freezer
• Empty the bucket; transfer any screws, clips, or labels from the old front to the new part
• Align tabs and snap/fasten the new front to the bucket; do not overtighten screws
• Reinstall the bucket and check seating and dispenser operation

This is a factory replacement screw fastener used to secure components in your appliance. It restores a tight, rattle-free fit for panels, brackets, and trim when an original screw is missing, stripped, or corroded.

• Secures panels, brackets, and trim to the appliance cabinet or liner
• Replaces a missing, stripped, or rusty screw
• Helps eliminate looseness, vibration, or rattling components
• Maintains proper alignment and a clean, factory fit

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; if near water lines, shut off the supply

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 refrigerator bracket and bushing assembly secures a moving component and provides a stable wear/pivot surface for smooth operation. Replace it when the original parts are worn or broken and causing looseness, scraping noises, or poor alignment.

• Provides a mounting point and bearing surface for rotational or sliding movement
• Helps maintain alignment and smooth, quiet operation
• Can help address wobble, scraping/binding, or a component that sags or sits out of position
• Replace if the bracket is bent/cracked or the bushing is worn/missing

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if working near dispenser lines
• Support the attached component while removing fasteners; note the original orientation
• Transfer any spacers/clips from the old parts if present and tighten fasteners evenly
• After installation, verify smooth movement and proper alignment
