• Replace if cracked, hardened, missing, or no longer stays seated; symptoms may include drips at a pass-through, buzzing/rattling, or a loose fit

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if applicable
• Access the grommet location and note orientation/routing
• Remove the old grommet and clean the opening
• Press the new grommet fully into place; reassemble and test for leaks/noise

This crisper brace is the cross-support used on 36-inch models to reinforce the crisper cover/shelf. It restores firm support so bins stay aligned and slide smoothly without the cover sagging or flexing. What it does:

• Supports the crisper cover/shelf to prevent bowing and flexing
• Keeps crisper drawers aligned for smooth open/close
• Replaces a cracked, warped, or missing brace
• Common symptoms: shelf sags or feels loose, drawers bind or rub, visible brace damage

• 1 crisper brace

• Unplug the refrigerator and clear the crisper area
• Remove crisper drawers and the cover/shelf to access the brace

Replacement power cord that restores the electrical connection so your appliance receives safe, consistent power. Use this cord to replace frayed, damaged, or non-functioning cords and help return reliable operation to the appliance. What it does:

• Restores the appliance's main power connection so it can turn on and operate.
• Commonly used when a cord shows frayed insulation, exposed wires, scorch marks, or intermittent power.
• Can address issues where the appliance does not power on due to a broken or damaged cord.
• Replaces cords with loose or damaged plug/terminal connections that may cause sparking or overheating.

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before inspecting or replacing the cord.
• Verify the cord configuration (3-prong vs. 4-prong) and terminal type match your appliance and local electrical code before installation.
• Use proper strain relief and routing to prevent pinching; secure all connections and replace any damaged terminal hardware.

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.

This center hinge pin is the pivot stud for the refrigerator door's middle hinge. Replacing a worn pin restores stable door movement and alignment so the door opens smoothly and seals reliably.

• Provides the pivot point for the door on the center hinge bracket
• Helps maintain proper door alignment for smooth opening/closing
• Wear or damage may show as door sagging, rubbing, or wobbling at the hinge
• Misalignment from a worn pin can contribute to poor sealing or a door that won't stay closed

• Disconnect power; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove items from the door and support the door before loosening hinge fasteners
• Lift the door off the hinge, swap in the new pin, and transfer any spacers/shims in the same order
• Reassemble, align the door, and confirm the gasket makes full contact all around

This support mounts in the dispenser area to secure the ice housing assembly. It helps keep the chute and door properly aligned so ice dispenses smoothly and the opening seals as designed.

• Helps maintain proper alignment and sealing of the ice door/flapper
• Reduces wobble or flex that can affect dispensing performance
• Typical signs it may be needed: loose or misaligned dispenser housing, ice or air leaking at the chute, frost buildup around the dispenser, inconsistent ice dispensing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the dispenser trim/control to access the housing; handle wiring and tabs carefully
• Remove mounting fasteners, replace the support, and transfer any reusable hardware
• Reassemble, restore power, and test ice dispensing and chute seal
