This spacer is a small positioning piece used in refrigerator assemblies to maintain proper clearance and alignment between parts. Replacing a worn or missing spacer helps restore smooth operation and prevents rubbing or binding. What it does:

• Maintains the designed gap between mating parts to prevent friction and wear
• Helps keep assemblies aligned for smooth, consistent movement
• Reduces looseness, rattling, or poor fit caused by a missing or deformed spacer
• Typical signs include visible damage or a missing spacer and misalignment or scraping noises in the area it installs

• 1 spacer

• Disconnect power; if working near water components, shut off the water supply
• Use your model's parts diagram to determine exact location and orientation
• Retain and reuse original fasteners or clips unless damaged
• Do not overtighten hardware; ensure smooth operation after installation

This E-ring is a small retaining clip used in Frigidaire refrigerators to hold components on a grooved shaft or pin. It keeps assemblies secure and operating smoothly by preventing parts from sliding off during normal use. What it does:

• Retains parts on a grooved shaft or pin to prevent axial movement
• Helps keep mechanisms aligned and reduces wobble or separation
• Common symptoms when missing or damaged: loose or fallen-off parts, scraping/rattling noises, or poor operation of the affected assembly

• 1 E-ring

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; wear eye protection (spring clips can snap)
• Use needle-nose pliers or an E-clip tool to compress and seat the ring in the groove
• Verify the ring is fully seated and flush in the groove before reassembly
• Keep any spacers/washers in the original order during removal and reinstallation

Here is a replacement shelf support grommet that is used in freezers and refrigerators. The grommets are used to provide stability for the shelves in the refrigerator. If they are broken or missing, the shelves will not sit correctly, and owners won't be able to put anything onto the shelves. A replacement grommet should slide into place, but may need to be gently tapped to ensure a proper seal is made.The shelf support grommet is for use with certain refrigerator models from Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Crosley. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that was sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is important to note that the grommets are sold individually. If more than one is needed, owners will need to order multiple.

Front plate restores the appliance's front-facing cabinet, protecting internal components and improving appearance. It replaces cracked, dented or worn front trim so the appliance looks finished and covers internal parts. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal components behind the appliance's front cabinet.
• Restores cosmetic appearance when the existing front is dented, cracked, or scratched.
• Helps maintain proper fit and alignment of adjacent trim and access points.
• Reduces exposure of internal components to dust and incidental contact.

• Always disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning work.
• Removal typically requires removing fasteners, clips or adjacent trim panels—keep track of all screws.
• Handle carefully; edges may be sharp and panels can be awkward to position alone.

• Restores proper fit and prevents items from falling during normal use
• Clear plastic lets you see contents at a glance

• One door bin

• Removes and installs by snapping into existing door-mounted support rails; no tools typically required
• Handle parts gently to avoid cracking; plastic can be brittle if cold
• Clean with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners or high-heat drying
• If the bin does not seat fully, check door support rails are undamaged before forcing

This defrost heater melts frost and ice from the refrigerator evaporator so the cooling system runs efficiently and food stays properly chilled. It restores normal auto-defrost operation when the original heater has failed. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove frost buildup
• Helps maintain consistent cooling by preventing ice that can block airflow
• Common symptom: visible frost or ice buildup on the evaporator or inside the freezer
• Common symptom: reduced cooling performance or longer run times between cycles

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before replacing the heater to avoid shock
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover inside the freezer
• Inspect and replace any damaged clips, mounts, or wiring; harness connections are secure
• Test the heater for continuity (and check associated thermostat/thermistor) before final reassembly

This micro switch detects door or lid position and tells the appliance when the door is closed so cycles can start or safety interlocks stay engaged. It restores reliable door sensing and helps prevent operation with the door open. What it does:

• Acts as a position sensor that completes or breaks the control circuit when the door/lid is closed or opened
• Keeps the appliance from starting or continuing a cycle if the door is open (safety interlock)
• Common symptom fix: appliance won't start, stops mid-cycle, or shows door-related error codes
• 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

1/4"diameter - 93" long, plastic, cut-to fit

This rubber grommet cushions and seals appliance components to reduce vibration and prevent wear where wiring, rods or panels pass through mounting openings. It helps keep parts aligned and protects against chafing and noise. What it does:

• Protects wiring, tubes or rods from rubbing and abrasion at mounting holes
• Helps reduce noise caused by contact or metal-on-metal vibration
• Aids in maintaining proper part alignment and secure fit

• Grommet

• Inspect mating hole and surrounding area for debris or sharp edges before installing
• Fit the grommet into the mounting hole so the flange seats evenly on both sides
• Replace any damaged or excessively worn grommets to restore protection
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before attempting service

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.
