• Use appropriate-size driver to avoid stripping the screw head
• Inspect surrounding hardware and shroud for damage; replace any damaged parts before reassembly

This foam insulation block helps fill gaps and reduce heat transfer inside the refrigerator cabinet to maintain proper cooling and reduce frost/condensation. It restores the designed insulation barrier where the original piece is damaged or missing. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or missing foam block that seals internal gaps in the cabinet or behind panels
• Helps prevent warm air infiltration that can cause poor cooling or excess frost
• Reduces condensation and moisture buildup around the evaporator area or panel seams
• Supports consistent temperature performance by restoring insulation continuity

• One foam insulation block

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access location may require removing interior panels or shelves; handle panels and clips carefully
• Install in the exact position and orientation of the original part; use any existing adhesive or fasteners as required
• If adhesive is needed, use only appliance-safe adhesives compatible with foam and follow manufacturer guidance

This tube connector is a small water-line fitting that joins refrigerator water and ice-maker tubing, restoring a secure path for water flow. It helps stop leaks and regain consistent water delivery to the dispenser or icemaker. What it does:

• Joins two sections of refrigerator water tubing to maintain a watertight connection
• Stops leaks at a damaged or worn tube joint
• Restores water flow to the ice maker or dispenser when a broken connector is the cause
• Compatible with rigid and soft tubing in typical refrigerator plumbing layouts

• One tube connector

• Shut off the refrigerator water supply before servicing
• Inspect tubing ends and replace damaged tubing or seals as needed
• Use proper fittings and tighten to manufacturer torque; avoid over-tightening

This stainless steel cleaner restores and protects stainless surfaces, removing fingerprints, smudges and light soils to improve appearance and make routine cleaning easier. Safe for finished stainless when used as directed. What it does:

• Cleans away fingerprints, grease, and light residue from stainless surfaces
• Restores a streak-free shine and improves overall appearance
• Helps reduce visible smudges for easier routine maintenance
• Leaves a light protective finish that helps resist fingerprints between applications

• Read and follow the product label before use; test on an inconspicuous area first
• Apply to a soft cloth and wipe with the grain of the stainless; avoid abrasive pads
• Do not use on hot surfaces, painted finishes, or unsealed metals unless manufacturer approves
• Keep out of reach of children and avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly

This small mounting clip secures interior or cabinet components to keep panels and trim stable, helping reduce noise and maintain proper alignment. It's a simple replacement that restores a snug fit where the original clip has broken or worn. What it does:

• Restores proper alignment of clipped parts after damage or wear
• Maintains a secure attachment point for adjacent parts during normal use
• Helps prevent moisture or debris from entering behind secured panels

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before accessing internal components
• Handle the clip and surrounding trim carefully to avoid cracking adjacent plastic
