This evaporator clip secures the refrigerator evaporator assembly and related components so the cooling system stays aligned and vibration-free. It helps maintain proper airflow and prevents rubbing or loose parts. What it does:

• Holds the evaporator coil/assembly or associated covers in place
• Prevents vibration, noise, and contact between the coil and cabinet parts
• Helps maintain consistent airflow for reliable cooling performance
• Commonly linked to rattling, buzzing, or loose parts around the freezer evaporator

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Handle evaporator and surrounding fins carefully; they are sharp and fragile
• Verify clip orientation against the OEM diagram before fastening

The mullion rail is the vertical divider strip that separates the fresh food and freezer compartments in side-by-side refrigerators, often housing the water and ice dispenser controls. This part needs replacement if you notice cracks in the plastic, damaged dispenser components, or poor sealing between compartments that affects temperature control.

Cross-support brace that reinforces the crisper cover on 36-inch models. Replace if broken, missing, or cracked to prevent cover sagging and keep bins aligned.

Seals the drain tube connection to prevent leaks and ice buildup in your freezer. Replace if you see water pooling or ice forming at the freezer bottom.

This grommet isolates the refrigerator's fan motor from its mounting bracket to reduce vibration and noise while keeping the motor secure. Replacing worn or missing grommets helps stop rattles and prevents the fan blade from rubbing.

• Cushions the fan motor to maintain proper alignment and clearance
• Absorbs vibration to help reduce humming, buzzing, or rattling sounds
• Helps keep the motor stable so the blade doesn't contact the shroud
• Common signs of failure include excess vibration, noise, or a loose fan motor

• 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 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

Ice cubes stuck in tray and won't eject? This ejector arm pushes ice from the mold into the bin. Simple snap-in install restores ice production.

This temperature control bar is the actuator used to adjust and regulate the appliance's internal temperature, restoring proper temperature response for the bar/beverage control system. It provides a direct replacement for the OEM control bar assembly. What it does:

• Transfers user temperature adjustments to the control mechanism so the appliance reaches the set temperature
• Restores correct temperature changes when the control knob or selector fails to respond
• Helps address symptoms like incorrect temperature readings, temperature not changing, or unstable cooling behavior
• Works with the existing control housing and selector components to re-establish normal operation

• One temperature control bar

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Handle the part and surrounding components carefully to avoid damaging clips or wiring
• You may need to remove interior panels or the control housing to access the part;
• Verify the part number on your existing component before installation

Creates a watertight seal at water connections to prevent leaks. Replace when cracked, flattened, or worn. Confirm fit with your model number.

Black plastic plug that seals unused refrigerator vent openings. Replace if yours is cracked, broken, missing, or damaged to keep out debris.

This replacement pan-timer/light housing assembly secures the timer and light components behind the control panel and restores proper fit and operation. Use it when the original housing is cracked, loose, or not holding the lamp/timer correctly. What it does:

• Provides the mounting structure for the timer and control panel light so components sit securely
• Keeps the light assembly aligned to illuminate the control area
• Prevents rattling or movement of timer/light parts caused by a damaged housing
• Safe, common symptom fix for visible cracks, loose control trim, or intermittent light alignment

• One pan-timer/light housing assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access typically requires removing the control panel or trim; handle plastic tabs and clips carefully to avoid breakage
• Reinstall screws and connectors to factory torque; do not force parts into position
• If wiring or bulbs are damaged, replace those items separately

Black plastic corner cover replaces damaged or missing exterior trim on your refrigerator. Restores finished appearance and protects edges from wear.
