This drier is the factory replacement air/gas flow assembly that helps maintain proper airflow and drying performance in compatible laundry dryers. Replacing a worn drier restores consistent drying and reduces overheating risk. What it does:

• Directs and stabilizes heated air through the drum for efficient drying
• Helps prevent restricted airflow that can cause long dry times or damp laundry
• Supports safe exhaust flow to reduce the chance of overheating or lint buildup
• Works with the dryer's heating and ventilation components to maintain normal operation

• One drier assembly as shown

• Disconnect electrical power before beginning service; if this is a gas dryer, turn off and disconnect the gas supply
• Follow the dryer manufacturer's service manual for disassembly and reassembly steps
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid forcing parts; inspect venting and lint traps while replacing

A locking nut that secures threaded shafts and fasteners to prevent loosening from vibration and regular use. Fits where a small, self-retaining nut is required to keep components firmly attached. What it does:

• Threads onto compatible studs/bolts to lock assemblies in place
• Resists vibration-related loosening for more reliable operation
• Commonly used on appliance control or mechanical linkages
• Small replacement part that restores secure fastening where the original nut is damaged or missing

• One locking nut

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal components
• Match nut thread size and type to the stud before installation
• Use appropriate tools and torque; avoid overtightening which can strip threads

This is a replacement machine screw sized 8-18 x 3/8 that secures panels and components on compatible appliances. It restores proper fastening where a worn, stripped, or missing screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does

• Fastens control panels, trim pieces, or brackets to the appliance chassis
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws that cause loose panels or vibrating noise
• Provides correct thread engagement for a secure hold in tapped holes
• Small hardware solution often used during door, console, or interior repairs

• One 8-18 x 3/8 machine screw (quantity: 1)

• Use the correct screw size and thread; do not force a different-size fastener into tapped holes
• Hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the appropriate screwdriver
• Disconnect power before accessing internal components or panels on electrical appliances
• If metal threads are damaged, repair with a helicoil or replace the damaged component rather than over-torquing

This replacement light bulb restores clear, reliable illumination so you can see contents and monitor appliance operation. Replace a burned-out, dim, or flickering bulb to bring visibility back to the area it lights. What it does:

• Provides illumination in the appliance's interior or designated lighting location
• Makes it easier to see contents and check status at a glance
• Common symptoms: light won't turn on, intermittent/flickering light, dim or blackened bulb

• 1 light bulb

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot surfaces and the old bulb to cool completely
• Remove any lens/cover, then remove the old bulb
• Install the new bulb securely without overtightening; reinstall the lens/cover if present

this is not a filter. The water filter bypass attaches in the water filter head and allows the water to flow to the dispenser and ice maker when the filter has been removed. Approximate dimensions: 4.37" x 2.87" x 2.5"

A small replacement closure shim that helps align and secure a closure/trim piece on select appliances, restoring proper fit and reducing rattles, rubbing, or gaps for quieter, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Positions and supports the closure/trim so panels and doors close evenly.
• Helps stop rubbing, misalignment, or minor gaps that can cause noise or poor sealing.
• Serves as a non-electrical spacer/aligner where the original shim has worn or broken.
• Useful when cosmetic trimming or closure pieces feel loose or shift during use.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair or accessing panels.
• Access location may require removing the related trim, panel, or door—refer to the appliance diagram or service manual.
• Handle small plastic parts carefully; align the shim before fastening to avoid breakage.

This 4-terminal thermal overload protects the dryer motor by interrupting power if the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It helps prevent motor damage and stops operation when the motor is stressed. What it does:

• Senses motor over-temperature or excessive current and opens the circuit to stop the motor
• Commonly used when a dryer won't start, shuts off during a cycle, or the motor overheats
• Helps prevent further damage to the motor and related electrical components
• Works as part of the motor protection and safety circuit

• 1 overload (4-terminal thermal protector)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Replace only with the exact part number or verified equivalent; confirm terminal locations when reinstalling
• Inspect surrounding wiring and motor for damage; replace any damaged components

Color: white. Measures about 38 inches wide by 4 inches high.

This evaporator fan blade is the rotating plastic impeller that moves cold air from the evaporator across the freezer and refrigerator compartments, restoring proper airflow for even cooling. What it does:

• Circulates air over the evaporator coil so cooled air is distributed through the appliance
• Helps maintain even temperatures throughout the fridge and freezer sections
• Worn or damaged blades can cause reduced airflow, weak cooling, or abnormal fan noise
• Replacing the blade can restore normal airflow when the motor and housing are otherwise functional

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover in the freezer compartment
• Inspect the motor shaft and blade hub for damage and ensure the blade seats securely on the motor
• If fan noise or continued airflow problems persist after installation, verify the evaporator fan motor and mounting components
