This door bushing fits on the refrigerator hinge/closer to provide a smooth pivot point and proper door alignment. Replacing a worn bushing reduces squeaks and binding and helps the door close and seal as designed.

• Provides a low-friction bearing surface between the hinge pin/closer cam and the door
• Helps maintain correct door height and alignment to the cabinet
• Promotes smooth door swing and reliable self-closing action
• Typical wear symptoms: squeaking or grinding, binding, door sag, or poor sealing

• Disconnect power and support the door before removing hinge hardware
• Note the order/orientation of hinge parts and any shims; lift off the door carefully
• Install the new bushing on the hinge pin or in the door as shown in your model's diagram
• Reinstall, level, and verify the gasket seals evenly all around

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 replacement screw fastens internal components and panels so parts stay secure and quiet. It's a direct-fit fastener used where the original mounting screw is missing or damaged to restore proper assembly. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets or components to prevent movement and vibration
• Restores proper alignment for covers and access panels
• Stops rattling or loose-fitting parts caused by a missing or stripped screw
• Works as the factory-specified fastener for the original mounting point

• The screw location and type before installing; use the original hole and thread
• Power off and disconnect the appliance before accessing internal components
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading, then snug with the appropriate screwdriver
• Do not overtighten — stop once the part is secure to avoid stripping or cracking

This drive coupling connects the washer motor to the transmission, transferring power to spin and agitate the tub. Replacing a worn coupling restores proper drivetrain engagement and reduces slipping, grinding, or loss of agitation. What it does:

• Transfers rotational force from the motor to the transmission so the washer can agitate and spin.
• Failsafe for worn motor-to-gearcase connection; a broken coupling commonly causes no-agitate or no-spin symptoms.
• Can produce burning smell, loud grinding, or slipping when deteriorated.
• Helps prevent further damage to the motor or transmission by isolating shock loads.

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair.
• Basic disassembly of the washer cabinet and access to the motor/transmission area is required.
• Verify correct alignment of tabs/slots during installation to ensure proper engagement.
