• Channels airflow from the evaporator fan to the evaporator coils for efficient heat exchange
• Protects the fan motor and blades from contact with ice and debris
• Helps reduce uneven cooling or warm spots caused by disrupted airflow
• Fits into the evaporator compartment and mates with the fan assembly

• Intended for use in the evaporator compartment;
• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal components to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the shroud gently to avoid damaging tabs or mounting points during removal/installation
• Reassemble panels and test cooling operation after installation

This electronic freezer control module manages the freezer's temperature and defrost cycles so the compartment runs on schedule and helps protect stored food. It replaces a failed or intermittent control board to restore normal freezer operation. What it does:

• Regulates freezer temperature by running compressor and fans per thermostat/temperature sensor inputs
• Controls automatic defrost cycles and related timing functions
• Can correct intermittent cooling or defrost issues caused by a faulty control board
• Stop error codes or unresponsive control behavior when the original board is defective

• One freezer control module (single electronic control board)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting—risk of electric shock
• Handle the board by the edges and avoid static discharge; use an anti-static strap if available
• Verify connector orientation and secure all wiring harnesses before restoring power

• Fits onto the freezer temperature control shaft to select colder or warmer settings
• Provides a firm, easy-to-turn grip so settings stay where you set them
• Commonly replaced when the knob is cracked, stripped, loose, or missing
• Helps restore basic temperature control when the selector cannot be turned properly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Most installs are tool-free: pull the old knob straight off the control shaft and push the new knob on until it seats
• Align any indicator mark on the knob with the control pointer before use
• If the control shaft is damaged or the knob won't seat, do not force—inspect the underlying control and replace as needed

This outer cabinet housing provides a durable structural shell that supports internal components and protects them from debris and wear. It restores proper alignment and enclosure for safe, stable appliance operation. What it does:
