• Secures the fan shroud or mounting bracket to the appliance cabinet or fan assembly
• Helps prevent fan wobble, rubbing, and airflow disruption caused by a loose shroud
• Restores proper clearance between fan blades and shroud to reduce noise and wear

• High-level replacement—remove power to the appliance before starting work
• Use appropriate-size driver to avoid stripping the screw head
• Inspect surrounding hardware and shroud for damage; replace any damaged parts before reassembly

This small black plug/button covers a hinge or bearing access hole to restore a finished appearance and help keep out dirt and debris. It's a simple, inexpensive trim piece that maintains the appliance's look and helps protect internal components. What it does:

• Covers exposed hinge or bearing access holes for a clean, finished appearance
• Helps keep dust and debris out of hinge or bearing cavities
• Prevents snagging and reduces the chance of small items entering the opening
• Matches factory appearance and fit for a seamless repair

• Push-fit design; press into the hole until fully seated
• Keep away from small children — small part is a choking hazard

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 ice ejector is the plastic arm that pushes cubes out of the ice maker mold and into the ice bin, restoring proper ice ejection and dispenser function. It's a direct-replacement component for affected ice maker assemblies. What it does:

• Physically strips and pushes formed ice cubes from the mold into the bin or dispenser
• Helps restore normal ice dispensing when cubes remain stuck in the mold
• Works with the ice maker's motor/gear train to time ejection during the harvest cycle
• Commonly replaced when the ejector is broken, cracked, or worn and no longer contacts cubes

• One ice ejector (ejector arm)

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before starting any repairs
• Remove the ice maker/cover or access panel as required to reach the ejector
• Inspect related components (drive gear, motor, and mounting pins) for wear while replacing the ejector
• After installation, run a test harvest/dispense cycle to correct operation
