• Keeps the fuse in correct contact with temperature-sensing surfaces
• Helps prevent intermittent heating or thermal-sensor misreads caused by a loose fuse
• Useful when replacing a damaged or missing fuse retainer during fuse service

• One thermal fuse mounting clip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury

• Seals the oven cavity to reduce heat loss and help maintain consistent cooking temperatures.
• Helps prevent heat from escaping around the door, improving energy use and cook results.
• Worn, torn, or flattened gaskets can cause uneven baking or longer cook times.
• Replacing a damaged gasket can reduce hot spots on the exterior and nearby cabinetry.

• Disconnect power and ensure the oven is completely cool before starting.
• Remove the old gasket by pulling it out of the door channel; clean the channel before installing the new gasket.

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

• 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.

• Stops the grille from sagging, rattling, or popping off during use
• Fits into designated mounting slots or tabs to lock the grille in place
• Commonly replaced when clips are cracked, missing, or loose

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access the toe grille by removing any screws or releasing retaining tabs per your model's service instructions
• Press the clip into the grille/cabinet mounting slot until it snaps in place; verify the grille seats evenly
• If multiple clips are damaged, replace all needed clips for a secure fit
