• Keeps water contained inside hoses, valves or pump fittings
• Restores proper sealing when the original O-ring becomes brittle or deformed
• Helps prevent water damage to cabinetry and flooring from appliance leaks

• One O-ring seal

• Turn off power and water supply before beginning any repair
• Remove the old O-ring and clean mating surfaces of debris and buildup
• Inspect the groove or fitting for damage; replace the part if the mating surface is scored
• If needed, use a small amount of manufacturer-recommended lubricant to ease installation and protect the O-ring

This cover-tube protects and guides the evaporator/related tubing inside the freezer compartment to help maintain proper airflow and prevent contact damage. It's a direct-fit replacement used in affected Whirlpool refrigeration units. What it does:

• Apply sparingly to clean, dry surfaces; avoid over-greasing which can attract debris
• Wear gloves and wipe excess grease from surrounding areas to prevent staining

This replacement shim is a thin positioning spacer used to align or level internal components for correct fit and operation. It helps restore proper clearances and reduce rubbing, noise, or misalignment-related issues. What it does:

• Provides precise spacing between parts to ensure correct alignment
• Helps eliminate rubbing or contact that can cause noise or wear
• Restores proper component clearance after service or reassembly
• Used when a missing, worn, or incorrect spacer leads to misalignment symptoms

• One replacement shim

• Inspect mating surfaces and clean debris before installing the shim

• Helps stop loose or rattling trim and parts caused by missing or worn screws
• Restores proper alignment and secure mounting after repairs
• Works where sheet metal or thin substrates require self-tapping engagement

• One self-drilling screw

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before starting repairs
• Use the correct size driver and steady pressure to avoid stripping the head
• Start straight and apply firm, even torque; avoid overtightening which can damage mounting surfaces
• Wear eye protection and handle small fasteners carefully to avoid loss or ingestion hazards
