• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the fan motor area (rear of unit or inside the freezer, depending on model) and support the motor
• Remove mounting hardware and seat the new grommet fully in the bracket/mount
• The fan blade spins freely with even clearance before reassembling and restoring power

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

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

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 sheet-metal pan-head screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components to the cabinet or frame. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit and helps stop rattles, misalignment, and loosening.

• Fastens sheet-metal panels, covers, ducts, and brackets to the appliance chassis
• Helps keep components aligned and secure during operation
• Replace if the original is missing, rusted, stripped, or damaged
• Common symptoms: loose or vibrating panels, gaps or misaligned parts, hardware that won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply before servicing
• Support the panel or part being attached; hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit; tighten snugly but do not overtighten into sheet metal
• If multiple matching screws secure a part, consider replacing them as a set for consistent hold
