Size: 8 x 1-1/4 inch.

This drain tube gasket seals the connection between the drain tube and its mating port to prevent leaks. A tight seal helps keep water where it belongs and protects surrounding components from moisture damage.

• Creates a watertight seal at the drain tube connection point
• Can help address water leaks around the drain area
• Deterioration, cracking, or hardening of the old gasket may cause seepage
• Replacing a worn gasket can restore proper leak prevention

• Unplug the appliance and shut off water supply before service
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water when disconnecting the tube
• Inspect the tube and mating surfaces; clean before installing the new gasket
• Do not overtighten fittings; verify a snug, even seal and check for leaks on first run

This electronic freezer control assembly manages the freezer's control functions and settings to help restore reliable temperature regulation and responsive controls when the original control fails. Designed as a direct replacement control module. What it does:

• Controls freezer functions and user settings by communicating with sensors and other system modules.
• Commonly replaces a failed control board when the freezer won't maintain temperature, cycles erratically, or displays control-related errors.
• Restores responsive control panel behavior when buttons or digital settings stop working.
• Used when diagnostics point to control/board faults rather than mechanical components.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle the control board carefully and avoid static discharge; use antistatic precautions if available.
• Match connector locations and wire harness orientation; ensure all plugs seat fully before restoring power.
• If symptoms persist after replacement, recheck wiring, sensors, and diagnostic codes before ordering additional parts.

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

This sealed-system compressor circulates refrigerant to cool your refrigerator, restoring normal cooling performance when the compressor fails. Designed to replace a failing compressor and help bring temperatures back to safe food-storage levels. What it does:

• Compresses and circulates refrigerant through the sealed refrigeration circuit
• Restores cooling when the compressor motor runs properly
• Commonly linked to symptoms like weak or no cooling, loud humming or clattering sounds, or a refrigerator that cycles continuously
• May be the cause if the appliance frequently trips a circuit breaker or shows hard-starting behavior

• Sealed-system work requires certified HVAC/refrigeration service and proper refrigerant handling per local regulations
• Disconnect power before beginning any repair; follow lockout/tagout practices
• Compressor replacement often requires system evacuation, brazing, and recharge — do not attempt unless qualified
• Use the identical replacement part number and follow OEM service instructions to avoid damage

A molded defrost drain funnel that routes condensation and melted frost into the refrigerator's drain to help prevent pooling and interior leaks. Replaces cracked or clogged funnels to restore proper water flow in the drain path. What it does

• Guides defrost and condensation water from the evaporator area into the fridge drain system.
• Helps prevent water pooling inside the fresh-food or freezer compartments.
• Worn, cracked or clogged funnels can cause dripping, pooling or frost build-up near the evaporator.
• Restores a secure, directed path for meltwater to reach the drain tube and pan.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal components to reduce shock risk.
• Remove food and any removable shelving to access the evaporator/drain area; handle plastic trim carefully to avoid breakage.
• Inspect surrounding drain area for ice, debris or clogs and clear before reinstalling the funnel.
• If clips or screws secure the funnel, retain hardware and reinstall securely; test a small amount of water to ensure proper drainage.

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 inlet valve controls water flow into the appliance, restoring proper fill cycles and stopping leaks when a valve fails. Replace a faulty inlet valve to regain consistent, reliable water delivery. What it does

• Opens and closes to allow water into the appliance during fill cycles.
• Replaces a valve that can cause no water, slow fill, or intermittent filling.
• Stops unwanted water flow or continuous filling when internal seals fail.
• Prevents leaks caused by a cracked or worn valve body or seals.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any work.
• Relieve residual water pressure and place towels or a pan to catch drips.
• Basic hand tools required; follow OEM instructions.
