This outer housing cover protects internal appliance components and helps keep wiring and mechanisms secure. It restores the cabinet's finished appearance and prevents debris from entering sensitive areas. What it does:

• Shields internal parts from dust, lint and accidental contact
• Keeps wiring and connectors enclosed to reduce snagging or wear
• Helps hold adjacent panels and components in proper alignment
• Can reduce rattles or vibration caused by a missing or damaged cover

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Inspect mounting clips and screws; replace any damaged fasteners for a secure fit.
• Handle edges carefully to avoid scratches; align tabs before fastening.

This splice connector repairs a broken or damaged wire connection to restore reliable electrical contact in your appliance. It's a small, low-profile replacement that helps prevent intermittent power or component failures caused by loose wiring. What it does:

• Joins two or more wire ends to re-establish a secure electrical connection
• Commonly used where a factory wire connection has failed, become corroded, or been cut
• Can stop intermittent operation, loss of power to components, or sparking at a damaged connection
• Suitable for low-voltage appliance wiring repairs when the original splice is compromised

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing wiring to avoid shock or damage
• Use proper crimping or soldering technique and insulation (heat-shrink or approved electrical tape) per local code

This shim is a small metal spacer used to position and support the dryer drum, helping maintain proper alignment for smooth rotation and quiet operation. It replaces a worn or missing shim to reduce wobble and rubbing. What it does:

• Centers and spaces the drum at the rear support to keep rotation aligned.
• Reduces drum wobble and vibration caused by worn or missing shims.
• Helps prevent metal-on-metal contact that can cause scraping or squeaking noises.
• Supports even drum movement that can improve seal alignment and prevent uneven wear.

• One shim

• Disconnect the appliance from power and gas before any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer cabinet or rear panel; follow OEM disassembly diagrams.
• Inspect adjacent parts (rear drum bearing, glides, rollers) and replace if worn.
