This adapter assembly joins and aligns mating parts inside the appliance so they fit securely and operate as designed. Replace a cracked or missing adapter to restore proper fit and eliminate looseness or misalignment after service. What it does:

• Provides the correct spacing and alignment between connected components
• Helps secure parts to reduce vibration, rattling, or shifting
• Restores proper fitment after a component replacement or repair
• Replace if the original is cracked, warped, or missing mounting features

• One adapter assembly

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Note the original orientation and take photos to aid reassembly
• Transfer any reusable screws/clips from the old part if needed
• Test fit and alignment before fully tightening fasteners

This glide is the low-friction slide piece used in select Frigidaire ranges and wall ovens to support a moving component. Replacing a worn glide restores smooth in-and-out movement, reduces binding, and helps prevent premature wear on mating rails. What it does:

• Provides a smooth, low-friction surface for a sliding drawer or rack
• Helps keep the component aligned on its track to avoid binding
• Reduces sticking and scraping noises during operation
• Common symptoms: hard-to-open/close movement, uneven travel, wobbling, or a visibly cracked/missing glide

• One glide

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Remove the drawer or rack to access the glide location
• Release screws or tabs securing the old glide; transfer any reusable hardware
• Install the new glide, and test for smooth travel

This glide is a low-friction slide used in select cooking appliances to support and guide a moving component, such as a lower drawer. Replacing a worn or broken glide restores smooth travel and proper alignment without sticking or scraping.

• Provides a smooth sliding surface for the mating part
• Helps keep the component aligned as it opens and closes
• Reduces friction and wear during movement
• Failure symptoms include sticking, scraping noises, uneven travel, or the component coming off track

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Remove the sliding component (e.g., drawer) to access the glide
• Remove the damaged glide and install the new one, transferring any screws or clips as needed
• Reinstall and test to ensure smooth, even movement

This oven rack is a replacement wire shelf that supports cookware and bakeware inside the oven cavity, restoring proper spacing and airflow for even cooking and broiling. Ideal when the original rack is bent, rusted, or missing. What it does:

• Provides a stable surface for pans, baking sheets and cookware
• Restores correct oven spacing for even heat circulation
• Replaces bent, warped or corroded racks that catch or bind
• Enables use of multiple rack positions for different cooking needs

• Allow the oven to cool completely and disconnect power before installing
• Position rack with the rolled edges toward the oven walls and slide into desired rack guides
• Use gloves to avoid sharp edges and protect finishes
• Clean gently with non-abrasive cleaners; do not use oven self-clean while rack is in place unless rack is rated for self-clean cycles

This element hanger support secures a cooktop surface heating element to the range and keeps the element aligned for reliable contact and stable cooking. Replaces a worn or bent bracket to restore proper element positioning. What it does:

• Holds the surface heating element in the correct position under the cooktop
• Stabilizes the element to maintain solid electrical contact and even heating
• Helps prevent element wobble, arcing, or intermittent power to the burner
• Fits where the element connects to the terminal/anchor point on the cooktop

• 1 element hanger support bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service
• Remove the cooktop or element as required to access the hanger; follow OEM disassembly steps
• Inspect element terminals and surrounding parts for damage while replacing the bracket

This safety thermostat helps prevent overheating by cutting power when temperatures get too high. It's a direct-replacement safety control used in heating circuits to protect the appliance and reduce fire risk. What it does:

• Opens the circuit when internal temperatures exceed safe limits to stop heating
• Prevents overheating of components and wiring
• Helps stop recurring high-heat faults that can damage the appliance
• Used as a fail-safe backup to the main temperature control

• One safety thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Replace only with the exact part number to maintain safety function
• Handle terminals carefully; ensure secure electrical connections and proper mounting

This insulation panel cushions and thermally separates the refrigerator cabinet to help maintain proper temperature and reduce condensation. It replaces worn or damaged cabinet insulation to restore normal thermal performance and reduce drafts. What it does:

• Fits along the cabinet interior to slow heat transfer between the cold compartment and surrounding air
• Helps reduce frost buildup and lowers compressor run-time caused by poor insulation
• Prevents cold spots and helps maintain consistent internal temperatures
• Reduces vibration noise by filling gaps between the liner and outer cabinet

• One cabinet insulation panel

• Designed for drop-in or adhesive-secured placement behind the liner; follow OEM diagram for exact location
• Remove power and empty the compartment before starting work to avoid damage or injury
• Use proper PPE (gloves and eye protection); insulation fibers can irritate skin and lungs
• If adhesive is required, use OEM-recommended adhesive and allow full cure before use
