• May require a flat screwdriver or needle-nose pliers to remove and install

This is a replacement machine screw sized 8-18 x 3/8 that secures panels and components on compatible appliances. It restores proper fastening where a worn, stripped, or missing screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does

• Fastens control panels, trim pieces, or brackets to the appliance chassis
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws that cause loose panels or vibrating noise
• Provides correct thread engagement for a secure hold in tapped holes
• Small hardware solution often used during door, console, or interior repairs

• One 8-18 x 3/8 machine screw (quantity: 1)

• Use the correct screw size and thread; do not force a different-size fastener into tapped holes
• Hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the appropriate screwdriver
• Disconnect power before accessing internal components or panels on electrical appliances
• If metal threads are damaged, repair with a helicoil or replace the damaged component rather than over-torquing

This driver coupling connects the dryer motor to the drum and transfers rotational force so the drum spins. Replacing a worn coupling restores reliable drum rotation and helps stop slipping or intermittent drum movement. What it does:

• Transfers torque from the motor to the drum shaft so the drum turns during operation
• Prevents slipping between motor and drum when intact
• Commonly linked to symptoms like a drum that won't turn, intermittent drum movement, or grinding noises
• Helps stop excessive wear on motor or transmission components when replaced promptly

• One driver coupling

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Verify the drum and motor are accessible; you may need to remove the front panel, belt, or motor assembly depending on model
• Inspect the motor shaft and drum shaft for wear; replace any damaged components to prevent repeat failure
• Use proper tools and follow OEM instructions

A single replacement screw used to fasten appliance panels and components, restoring secure fit and reducing vibration or noise. Simple, low-cost part for repairs that need a missing or stripped fastener. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, or small component housings to the appliance frame
• Helps stop rattling, vibration, and misalignment caused by loose or missing screws
• Keeps internal components properly seated to maintain normal operation
• Used wherever the OEM specifies this exact fastener

• One replacement screw

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid shock or injury
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Thread by hand first, then tighten snugly—do not overtighten
• Keep small parts away from children and pets

This drier is the factory replacement air/gas flow assembly that helps maintain proper airflow and drying performance in compatible laundry dryers. Replacing a worn drier restores consistent drying and reduces overheating risk. What it does:

• Directs and stabilizes heated air through the drum for efficient drying
• Helps prevent restricted airflow that can cause long dry times or damp laundry
• Supports safe exhaust flow to reduce the chance of overheating or lint buildup
• Works with the dryer's heating and ventilation components to maintain normal operation

• One drier assembly as shown

• Disconnect electrical power before beginning service; if this is a gas dryer, turn off and disconnect the gas supply
• Follow the dryer manufacturer's service manual for disassembly and reassembly steps
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid forcing parts; inspect venting and lint traps while replacing

A locking nut that secures threaded shafts and fasteners to prevent loosening from vibration and regular use. Fits where a small, self-retaining nut is required to keep components firmly attached. What it does:

• Threads onto compatible studs/bolts to lock assemblies in place
• Resists vibration-related loosening for more reliable operation
• Commonly used on appliance control or mechanical linkages
• Small replacement part that restores secure fastening where the original nut is damaged or missing

• One locking nut

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal components
• Match nut thread size and type to the stud before installation
• Use appropriate tools and torque; avoid overtightening which can strip threads

This genuine replacement screw secures panels and components so your appliance stays stable and trim pieces fit properly. It's a simple, exact-fit fastener intended to replace a missing or damaged mounting screw. What it does:

Size: 63-1/2 x 35-1/2 x 2-5/8 inch.

This defrost thermostat helps control the refrigerator/freezer defrost cycle by sensing evaporator temperature and allowing the heater to run when frost removal is needed. Replaces a failed thermostat to restore normal defrost operation. What it does:

• Closes when the evaporator is cold so the defrost heater can run, then opens when the coil warms to stop defrosting
• Helps prevent excessive frost and ice buildup on the evaporator coil
• Common symptom: visible frost or ice on evaporator, excessive frost buildup, or defrost heater running constantly/ not at all
• Works with the defrost system to maintain efficient cooling performance
