Fridge not cooling but lights work? This compressor overload stops overheating and prevents startup damage. DIY-friendly repair in about 1 hour.

Mounts in the dispenser to secure the ice housing assembly. Keeps the chute and door aligned for smooth dispensing. Replace if cracked, broken, or worn.

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.

Cold control that regulates cooling cycles to maintain set temperatures in the fresh-food section. Replacing a failed control restores more consistent temperature control and helps prevent food spoilage. What it does:

• Controls compressor/cooling cycles based on the selected temperature setting to maintain cabinet temperature.
• Common symptoms: refrigerator running constantly, not cooling, or temperature cycling irregularly.
• Interfaces with the fridge control housing and wiring to open/close the cooling circuit as needed.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access the control housing/panel to remove the old control; note wire locations or take a photo for correct reinstallation.
• Handle any attached sensor or capillary tube gently to avoid kinks or damage.
• After installation, restore power and the refrigerator reaches and holds the desired temperature.

• Restores proper alignment and prevents vibration-related noise
• Replaces missing, stripped, or damaged screws that allow parts to come loose
• Works where a standard 8-32 machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power and/or gas before servicing the appliance to reduce shock or injury risk
• Use the proper screwdriver or nut driver for the screw head to avoid stripping
• Thread gently and stop when snug; do not overtighten to prevent stripping or damage
• If threads are damaged, replace with the correct-size screw rather than forcing it
