This door stop limits the opening angle of the refrigerator/freezer door to prevent overextension that can stress hinges or strike nearby cabinets. Replacing a worn or missing stop restores controlled door travel and helps prevent impact damage.

• Controls and limits the door's opening range
• Helps protect hinges, gaskets, and adjacent cabinets from overextension
• Restores smooth, consistent door operation
• Common signs: door swings past normal position, door hits wall/cabinet, visible broken or missing stop

• Unplug the appliance and lighten the door if needed for easier handling
• Support the door; remove hinge fasteners or pin as needed to access the stop
• Match the orientation of the original stop; retain any shims/spacers in the same order
• Reassemble and verify door alignment and gasket seal

• Replace one fastener at a time to maintain alignment

This damper control knob fits the refrigerator's air damper. It attaches to the damper control so you can open or close airflow between the freezer and fresh food compartments when the original knob is cracked, stripped, or missing.

• Attaches to the damper control shaft to adjust airflow from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment
• Direct replacement for a knob that is broken, missing, or stripped
• Symptoms can include a loose or slipping control, difficulty turning, or settings that won't stay in place
• If the control can't be turned, temperature response to damper adjustments may be inconsistent

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; avoid prying to prevent damage
• Align the new knob with the shaft and press it on until fully seated
• Rotate through the full range to ensure smooth operation without forcing

This door stop limits the refrigerator door's opening range to protect hinges and nearby cabinets. Replace a cracked or missing stop to restore smooth, controlled door movement and help the door close and seal properly.

• Limits door swing to prevent overextension and impact with walls or cabinets
• Reduces hinge stress and helps maintain proper door alignment
• Common signs of failure: door opens too far, binds at the hinge, or the original stop is cracked/missing
• Restores smooth, controlled door motion and closure

• Disconnect power and remove items from the door to reduce weight
• Support the door before loosening any hinge fasteners
• Install the new stop in the correct orientation for your model
• Adjust hinges if needed

This #10-32 x 3/4-inch machine screw secures appliance components such as panels, brackets, and handles. Using the correct length and thread helps restore a snug, rattle-free hold wherever this screw is specified by the manufacturer.

• Fastens components with a #10-32 machine thread and 3/4-inch length
• Helps keep panels, trim, brackets, or handles secured and aligned
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded hardware
• Common signs include loose or wobbly parts, rattling, missing screws, or damaged screw heads/threads

• Disconnect power before servicing; if working near a water connection, shut off the water supply
• Use the correct driver/bit and start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten to prevent stripping plastic or threads
• Reuse any model-specific washers or spacers if present

Specs: Hex head ,1/4-20 x 5/8

This center hinge spacer sits on the refrigerator's center hinge pin to keep the door properly spaced and pivoting smoothly. Replacing a worn spacer helps restore even door alignment and a reliable gasket seal for easier opening and closing. What it does

• Maintains the correct gap between the door and center hinge to prevent metal-to-metal wear
• Supports smooth, quiet door movement on the hinge pin
• Helps keep the door level so the gasket seals evenly
• Worn or missing spacers can lead to door sagging, rubbing/squeaking, or doors that don't close cleanly

• One center hinge spacer

• Disconnect power and remove items from the door; support the door before loosening hinge hardware
• Lift the door off the center hinge pin and remove the old spacer
• Place the new spacer on the hinge pin, reinstall the door, and check alignment and seal
• Re-tighten hinge fasteners and verify the door opens/closes smoothly

Color: White

This defrost pan collects water from the refrigerator's automatic defrost cycle and sits over warm components so it can evaporate safely. Replace a cracked or deformed pan to help prevent floor puddles and musty odors. What it does:

• Collects defrost condensate and allows it to evaporate in the machine compartment
• Helps keep floors dry by managing defrost water
• Replace if the pan is cracked, warped, leaking, or missing
• Common symptoms include water under the refrigerator, recurring puddles, or musty odors

• 1 defrost drain pan

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator away from the wall before servicing
• Remove the rear access panel to reach the drain pan
• Slide out the old pan carefully and empty any water; reuse any original supports/brackets if present
• Set the new pan on its supports, ensure the drain outlet/tube drips into the pan, reinstall the panel, restore power, and check for leaks

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

Bottom air diffuser directs cold air into the refrigerator's lower cabinet to help maintain even temperatures and reduce warm spots. Replacing a damaged diffuser restores proper airflow and helps the fresh-food section cool more consistently. What it does:

• Redirects cold air from the cooling channel into the refrigerator's lower cabinet for balanced cooling.
• Helps reduce warm spots and uneven temperatures in the fresh-food area.
• A cracked, broken, or missing diffuser can lead to restricted airflow and inconsistent cabinet temperatures.
• Seats into the lower air channel and secures with factory tabs or fasteners; inspect mounting tabs for damage.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before performing any service.
• Remove shelves and drawers as needed for access; work carefully around evaporator/air channels.
• Gently release and re-seat plastic tabs or remove fasteners; avoid forcing parts to prevent breakage.
• If tabs are damaged, replace them or consider replacing adjacent vent components to ensure a secure fit.

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

This replacement water tube routes water within the refrigerator's internal water system. Installing a fresh, intact tube helps stop leaks and restores reliable water flow to the dispenser and ice maker. What it does:

• Carries water between components such as the inlet valve, reservoir, dispenser, and ice maker
• Maintains a sealed, kink-free path for proper flow and pressure
• Common signs of failure: leaks or puddling, weak or no dispenser flow, ice maker not filling, brittle or discolored tubing

• One tube

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Note the original routing; take photos to match length and path
• If trimming, cut ends square and fully seat into the existing push-to-connect or compression fittings
• Restore water and check all connections for leaks before powering the unit back on
