This thermostat retainer clip secures the defrost thermostat to the evaporator tubing in your refrigerator or freezer, maintaining firm contact for accurate temperature sensing and dependable defrost operation.

• Holds the thermostat firmly against the evaporator line for proper temperature feedback
• Helps prevent a loose or dangling thermostat that contribute to frost buildup and poor defrost performance
• Restores correct mounting when the original clip is cracked, bent, or missing
• Common signs include a broken clip or a thermostat not attached to the coil

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove accumulated frost/ice as needed without prying on coil fins
• Position the thermostat body flat against the tubing and snap the retainer over it, avoiding pinched wires or damaged fins
• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power

Replacement thermostat kit restores accurate temperature sensing so the appliance can maintain correct operating temperatures. Use this kit when a failing thermostat causes inconsistent temps or frequent cycling. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and signals the control to turn heating or cooling on and off.
• Helps the appliance maintain stable temperatures and proper cycle behavior.
• Commonly replaced for inconsistent temperatures, failure to reach set temperature, or excessive cycling.
• Matches OEM function for direct replacement of the original thermostat kit.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit) before starting any repair.
• Follow the appliance's service manual for correct routing and secure mounting of the sensor or capillary.
• Handle the sensor/capillary gently to avoid kinks or damage.

This condenser fan blade is the rotating plastic blade that moves air across the condenser coils to help remove heat from the refrigerator. Replacing a damaged blade restores proper airflow for more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Spins on the condenser fan motor to circulate air over condenser coils
• Helps dissipate heat so the compressor and fridge run efficiently
• Can cause reduced cooling or higher temperatures if broken or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Inspect the fan motor shaft and mounting for wear; replace motor if shaft is damaged
• Handle the blade carefully to avoid cracking; ensure blade is seated and secured before testing

This replacement ejector is the plastic arm that pushes harvested ice cubes out of the ice mold and into the storage bin, helping restore proper ice ejection and reduce ice that sticks inside the tray. What it does:

• Pushes ice cubes out of the ice mold during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Works with the ice maker's motor/gear assembly to advance cubes into the bin.
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken ejector arms that can leave ice stuck in the mold.
• Can help address symptoms such as cubes that don't eject, partial fills, or frequent ice jams.

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing to prevent electrical shock.
• Remove the ice bin and follow the OEM ice maker removal steps to access the ejector.
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid cracking; inspect gears, mounts, and the ice tray for related wear.

This adaptive defrost control board manages and adjusts refrigerator defrost cycles to help prevent excess frost buildup while keeping temperatures steady. Replaces a failed control board to restore automatic defrost timing and normal cooling performance. What it does

• Monitors evap-coil and compressor run patterns to trigger appropriate defrost cycles.
• Helps reduce excessive frost on the evaporator that can cause poor cooling or compressor overwork.
• Commonly replaced when the refrigerator fails to defrost, shows persistent frost/ice buildup, or runs unusually long cycles.
• Works as the control logic for defrost sequencing and related temperature/regulation signals.

• One adaptive defrost control board

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching electronics; discharge static first if possible.
• Inspect wiring harnesses and connectors for damage before reconnecting; secure the board with original mounting hardware.
• After installation, restore power and allow the appliance to run through one full cycle to verify normal operation.
