Replaces the refrigerator temperature control thermostat to restore consistent cooling. This direct-replacement thermostat helps regulate compartment temperature so food stays at the set level and reduces temperature swings. What it does

• Senses compartment temperature and switches the cooling system on and off to maintain the selected temperature range.
• Helps prevent temperature fluctuations that can cause food to spoil or freeze unexpectedly.
• Commonly used when the refrigerator runs continuously, won't reach set temperature, or cycles erratically.
• Works with the existing control knob and wiring—intended as a like-for-like replacement.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Basic hand tools are typically required; take care not to damage the sensor bulb or capillary if present.

Evaporator fan motor that circulates cold air over the evaporator coil to help maintain even refrigerator temperatures. Replacing a failing motor restores airflow, reduces warm spots and frost buildup, and cuts down on excessive fan noise. What it does:

• Spins the evaporator fan blade to move cold air through the evaporator and into the cabinet.
• Promotes even cooling to prevent warm zones and food spoilage.
• Stops or reduces abnormal noises caused by a worn or seized motor.
• Helps prevent frost accumulation linked to poor airflow.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Handle the motor and fan blade carefully; ensure the fan blade is seated properly on the shaft.
• Remove evaporator/fan housing panels and retain screws and clips for reassembly; verify wiring connectors match before reconnecting.

This spacer sets the correct gap between mating parts in your appliance's assembly, preventing rubbing and misalignment. Replace a missing or worn spacer to restore a solid fit, reduce noise, and protect surrounding components.

• Maintains proper spacing between components for correct alignment and operation
• Reduces metal-to-metal contact, squeaks, and premature wear
• Helps fasteners and panels seat securely
• Typical symptoms when failed: loose or rattling parts, uneven gaps, or visible wear marks

• Disconnect power; for gas models, shut off the gas. Allow the appliance to cool completely.
• Access the assembly per your model's diagram; note the original orientation/stack-up before removal.
• Reuse original fasteners if serviceable; hand-start threads and tighten snugly to avoid damaging the spacer.
• Verify alignment and clearances before fully reassembling. Quantity and location vary by model.

This heat-resistant insulation helps contain oven heat and shield surrounding components. Replacing worn insulation supports faster, more consistent preheating, steadier baking temperatures, and cooler exterior panels for safer, more efficient operation. What it does:

• Wraps/lines the oven cavity or panels to reduce heat loss and protect nearby wiring and controls
• Helps the oven preheat efficiently and maintain consistent cooking temperatures
• Limits heat transfer to exterior panels and surrounding cabinetry
• Common signs of failure: longer preheat times, temperature swings, unusually hot sides/back, or insulation that is burnt, brittle, soaked, or missing

• 1 insulation piece

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas before servicing
• Access typically requires removing rear/side panels or sliding the unit out; take photos to aid reassembly
• Wear gloves and a dust mask; handle gently—do not compress insulation and keep clear of sensors/wiring
• Re-secure with original clips/tape, reinstall panels, then test preheat and check for abnormal exterior heat

This high-temperature insulation is used in the oven assembly to contain heat and protect nearby components and cabinetry. Replacing damaged insulation helps the appliance maintain set temperatures and keeps exterior surfaces from getting excessively hot. What it does:

• Helps retain heat for stable baking and roasting temperatures
• Reduces heat transfer to the appliance frame and adjacent cabinets
• Replaces insulation that is torn, charred, or saturated with spills/grease

• One insulation piece

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Remove the range or wall oven and access the oven body
• Wear gloves, eye protection, long sleeves, and a dust mask; fibers can irritate skin and lungs
• Reinstall in the same orientation/routing as the original; do not compress insulation or block vents

This replacement control knob lets you set and adjust temperature or burner settings on compatible ranges and ovens. It restores a secure grip and clear control for safe, reliable cooking operation. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, stripped, or missing control knob to restore user control
• Fits standard front-mounted control shafts to select heat levels or functions
• Provides a firm, easy-turn grip for precise setting adjustments
• Helps prevent accidental changes by providing a secure fit on the control shaft

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; align the replacement and press on until fully seated
• Do not force the knob; verify correct shaft orientation and fit before use

Indicator light replaces the control-panel lamp that signals power or active functions, restoring visible status feedback for safer, more confident operation. Use this when the original lamp is dim, cracked, or fails to illuminate. What it does:

• Provides visible indication of power, cycle status, or selected functions on the appliance control panel.
• Restores clear status feedback when the original lamp is burned out or flickering.
• Helps troubleshoot whether a control or circuit is receiving power by showing when the indicator should be lit.
• Improves usability so settings and operating states are easy to confirm at a glance.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or turn off the breaker) before beginning work.
• Access may require removing the control panel or console.
• Handle the lamp carefully and avoid touching bulb surfaces; use gloves to prevent oil transfer.
• After installation, restore power and verify the indicator lights as expected; if it still does not light, further electrical diagnosis may be needed.
