This motor start/run capacitor helps the appliance motor or compressor start and run more reliably, restoring proper motor performance and reducing symptoms caused by a weak or failed capacitor. What it does:

• Provides the momentary electrical boost motors or compressors need to start
• Helps maintain stable motor operation during run cycles
• Resolves symptoms like motors that hum but won't start, intermittent starting issues, or cycling problems
• Replaces a worn or failed capacitor to restore consistent performance

• One replacement capacitor as shown

• Disconnect power before servicing and verify the appliance is de-energized
• Capacitors can hold charge — discharge safely before touching terminals
• Match terminal type and mounting location to the original part; do not force connections

This mechanical mounting band secures a bracket assembly inside the appliance to keep components aligned and reduce vibration. It restores proper bracket positioning so moving parts run quietly and reliably. What it does:

• Holds a bracket or component assembly in place to maintain proper alignment
• Dampens movement and reduces vibration-related noise or rattling
• Prevents excess wear by keeping parts from shifting during operation
• Helps maintain correct clearances to avoid interference or rubbing

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing internal parts
• Remove only the fasteners necessary to access the bracket; keep track of hardware
• Secure all fasteners to the manufacturer's torque or snug specification
• Replace the band if bent, cracked, or missing to restore proper fit and function

The Door Basket is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is used to organize small items and provide additional storage directly on the refrigerator door. 

Symptoms of a bad door basket include:

• Items no longer stay securely in place during opening and closing  
• Sagging or misshapen basket that no longer organizes properly
• Detached basket that no longer mounts firmly on the door

Causes of a bad door basket can include warped or broken plastic, cracks or fractures in the plastic construction, or failure of the mounting brackets over time. 

This OEM LG replacement is also compatible with select Sears/Kenmore models.

The Drain Tube Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This drain tube assembly is responsible for directing condensation and melt water that accumulates in the refrigerator away to the evaporator pan.

Causes can include cracks developing from limescale or mineral accumulation, flexing fatigue from repeatedly catching drips, or damage from improper cleaning methods.

Symptoms of a bad drain tube assembly include:

• Puddles or leaks developing underneath the refrigerator
• Poor air flow from vents and higher temperatures
• Ice or moisture buildup in refrigerator walls and seals
• Water stains or corrosion appearing inside the unit

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Water Tank is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This tank stores and supplies water to the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser, ensuring a consistent supply of fresh, filtered water. It is designed to fit securely within the refrigerator, maintaining hygiene and preventing leaks.

Over time, the water tank can become worn out, cracked, or contaminated. Common causes of a bad water tank include regular wear and tear, exposure to extreme temperatures, or damage from mishandling or improper installation.

Symptoms of a bad water tank include:

• Leaking water inside the refrigerator
• Low water flow to the dispenser or ice maker
• Unusual tastes or odors in the water
• Visible cracks or damage to the tank

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

This refrigerator door gasket forms an airtight seal between the door and cabinet to keep cold air in and humid air out, helping restore stable temperatures and efficiency when the original seal is worn, torn, or warped.

• Seals the door perimeter to prevent air leaks and temperature swings
• Helps reduce frost and condensation around the door opening
• Can resolve doors not closing fully or popping back open
• Replace if the gasket is cracked, deformed, or won't stay seated

• Disconnect power and clear items from the door before starting
• Warm the new gasket (hot water or low heat) to relax folds and improve fit
• Pull the old gasket from the retaining channel; press the new one in firmly, starting at the corners
• Close the door and check for an even seal all around; allow the gasket to conform over the next 24 hours

This replacement nut is a simple fastener used to secure internal components and panels. It restores proper attachment where a loose or missing nut causes vibration, noise, or parts to shift. What it does:

• Secures components, brackets, or panels in place to maintain appliance stability
• Prevents parts from loosening during operation, reducing rattles and vibration
• A missing or damaged nut can allow movement that leads to noise or improper alignment
• Use as a direct hardware replacement when the original nut is lost or worn

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before accessing internal parts
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten with the appropriate wrench or socket
• Replace if threads are stripped or the nut is damaged
• Refer to the parts diagram for the correct mounting location

It contains the defrost temperature sensor and the defrost thermal fuse.
