This air filter features a durable plastic frame and screens airborne particles from intake air to help protect internal components. Replacing a cracked or heavily clogged filter helps maintain proper airflow and keep the appliance running efficiently. What it does

• Captures dust and lint from incoming air to reduce buildup inside the unit
• Helps maintain airflow and overall system efficiency
• Replaces a missing, damaged, or saturated filter
• Common symptoms: weak airflow, longer run times, visible dirt buildup or damage to the filter

• 1 air filter with plastic frame

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Open the front grille or filter access panel per your owner's manual
• Slide out the old filter and insert the new filter in the same orientation
• Ensure the filter is fully seated; do not operate the unit without a filter

This louver is the front vent trim piece that directs airflow and covers the vent opening for a clean, finished appearance. It restores proper airflow pattern and replaces cracked, broken, or missing vent trim. What it does:

• Directs and channels airflow from the appliance vent for more consistent cooling or exhaust
• Covers and protects internal components from debris while maintaining proper ventilation
• Restores the appliance's finished appearance by replacing damaged or discolored trim
• Helps reduce drafts and unwanted light through the vent opening

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Inspect mounting tabs or screw holes and use the original fasteners when possible
• Snap into place or secure with screws depending on model—align tabs carefully to avoid breakage

This thermistor is the refrigerator temperature sensor that helps the control board monitor and regulate cooling. Replacing a failed thermistor restores accurate temperature readings for more consistent fridge and freezer performance. What it does:

• Senses internal air temperature and sends that information to the control board
• Helps the defrost and compressor cycles run at the correct times
• Commonly linked to symptoms like inconsistent temperatures, error codes, or a unit that runs constantly
• Does not control cooling directly but provides the temperature feedback the system needs

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service
• Typically located in the fresh food or freezer compartment near the evaporator
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on the wires or bending the probe sharply
• If troubleshooting, verify wiring and sensor resistance per the manufacturer's service instructions before replacement

This defrost drain tube routes meltwater from the freezer/evaporator area to the drain pan, helping keep the cabinet dry and preventing leaks or ice buildup. Replace a cracked, clogged, or damaged tube to restore proper drainage. What it does:

• Channels defrost and condensation water from the evaporator/freezer to the main drain
• Prevents leaks and pooling inside the cabinet that can cause odors or ice formation
• Helps maintain proper defrost water flow when the original tube is cracked, split, or blocked
• Works with the existing drain system and grommets to resume normal drainage

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove interior panels as needed to access the evaporator/drain area; handle evaporator fins carefully
• Ensure the tube is seated properly in the drain fitting and any retaining clips or grommets are reused or replaced
• Clear any drain trough or drain hole blockages and test with a small amount of water after installation

This replacement rail is a refrigerator drawer slide that supports and guides a single fresh-food or freezer drawer for smooth opening and closing. It restores proper drawer movement and helps prevent jams. What it does:

• Guides the drawer along its track so it opens and closes smoothly
• Keeps the drawer aligned to prevent tipping or binding
• Replaces a worn, cracked, or broken rail that causes sticking or uneven travel
• Reduces noise from scraping or catching during drawer operation

• Remove all food and drawers before starting; work on a clean, flat surface
• Most installations require only basic hand tools; follow your model's service instructions
• Inspect the mating rail/slide on the opposite side and mounting clips for wear during replacement
• Disconnect power to the appliance before working in tight areas and consider a service manual or pro

Note: Due to a factory change, the replacement accordion does not include the frames.
