• Removal typically requires accessing the evaporator compartment and removing panels; keep fasteners organized
• Handle plastic parts carefully to avoid cracking mounting tabs during installation

This humidity control assembly regulates moisture levels in the refrigerator's crisper/produce compartment to help keep fruits and vegetables fresher. It replaces a failed or unresponsive humidity control to restore proper compartment humidity. What it does:

• Senses and adjusts airflow to the crisper/produce drawer to help control moisture levels.
• Helps reduce excess humidity that can cause wilting or increase moisture that can accelerate spoilage.
• Stops or corrects intermittent or non-responsive humidity settings that affect drawer performance.
• Can resolve issues with produce drawer not maintaining expected humidity or feeling excessively wet or dry.

• One humidity control assembly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Remove produce drawers and access panels as needed to reach the control; handle gently to avoid damaging clips or electrical connectors.
• Reconnect wiring harness securely and test function before fully reassembling.

This evaporator cover mounting bracket secures the evaporator cover inside the freezer compartment to keep cooling airflow and components in place. Durable metal construction replaces a broken or bent bracket to restore proper cover alignment. What it does:

• Holds the evaporator cover in position for correct airflow and protection of the evaporator coil
• Helps stop rattling or loose cover movement that can cause noise
• Restores a secure mounting point after impact or corrosion damage
• Works with the evaporator cover assembly to maintain consistent cooling performance

• High-level replacement: remove the evaporator cover to access mounting points; fasten bracket with existing screws
• Use basic hand tools; keep screws and clips organized for reassembly
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical hazard

This cover shields internal components and gives the appliance a finished appearance while preventing debris from entering sensitive areas. It restores a clean look and helps keep wiring and mechanics protected. What it does:

• Protects internal parts from dust, dirt and accidental contact
• Secures and conceals wiring, connectors and small components
• Helps stop rattles or vibration-related noise when intact
• Restores finished appearance after damage or loss

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Remove any retaining screws or clips to access and replace the cover
• Handle carefully to avoid damaging mounting tabs or clips

This spring secures the meat pan rail in the refrigerator/drawer assembly so the pan tracks and stays in place during normal use. It's a simple replacement that restores proper tension and alignment for the meat pan. What it does:

• Provides tension to hold the meat pan or deli drawer on its rail
• Prevents the meat pan from slipping, sagging or rattling during use
• Restores secure engagement of the pan with the rail assembly
• Works as a direct-fit replacement for the original spring on the meat pan rail

• One meat pan rail spring

• Disconnect power to the appliance or unplug before servicing to avoid injury
• Remove the drawer/pan assembly to access the rail spring; keep track of small parts
• Use needle-nose pliers for safe removal and installation; avoid overstretching the spring

This flat glass shelf replaces a damaged or missing freezer shelf to restore usable storage space and keep frozen items organized and level. Tempered glass provides a solid, easy-to-clean surface for freezer storage. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, chipped or missing freezer shelf so food stays supported and stable
• Restores full shelf capacity and helps prevent items from falling through gaps
• Provides a smooth, flat surface that wipes clean of spills and frost
• Fits into existing freezer shelf supports or rails (verify fit for your model)

• Handle carefully—glass is heavy and can break; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection
• Remove food and shelving accessories from the freezer before installing
• Slide into existing shelf supports; do not force or bend supports during installation
• If shelf has clips or stops, reuse OEM hardware; replace broken supports before installing the glass

This condenser fan motor circulates air across the condenser coils to help remove heat from the refrigeration system, improving cooling efficiency and preventing overheating of components. What it does

• Spins the condenser fan blade to move air over condenser coils for proper heat rejection
• Helps maintain compressor and system temperatures during normal cooling cycles
• Can cause warm cabinet temperatures or noisy operation when worn or seized
• Stops cycling correctly if the motor fails, which may lead to extended run times

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service.
• Handle sharp condenser fins and mounting hardware with care; use gloves as needed.
• Verify fan blade clearance and secure all mounting screws before restoring power.
• After installation, the motor runs quietly and the fan blade spins freely.
