This replacement ice bucket housing encloses and supports the freezer's ice storage bin at the dispenser. A damaged housing can cause bin wobble or misalignment—replacing it restores a secure fit, smoother dispensing, and helps reduce stray ice and frost.

• Holds and aligns the ice bin for proper engagement with the dispenser mechanism
• Guides ice toward the chute and helps contain cubes and shavings
• Helps limit warm-air leaks around the bin to reduce frost and clumping
• Typical symptoms: bin won't seat or is wobbly, poor or no ice dispensing, ice spilling inside freezer, visible cracks in the enclosure

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the ice bin; take out any screws or clips securing the housing
• Transfer any reusable brackets or screws from the old housing to the new one
• Reinstall the housing level and secure; seat the bin fully, restore power, and test dispensing

Ice maker water line: 1/4x 8ft.

This ice enclosure is the molded housing for the refrigerator's ice path. It supports and aligns related components so ice moves properly and helps keep warm air out to reduce frost and moisture around the ice area.

• Provides a rigid mounting point for ice-path components to keep alignment and flow
• Helps maintain an air barrier to minimize frost, sweating, and ice clumping
• Replace if the original housing is cracked, warped, or broken
• Common symptoms include frost or condensation near the ice opening, ice clumps, or poor/jammed ice dispensing

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Access the ice area (door or interior access varies by model); retain screws and clips for re-use

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.

This auger motor and yoke assembly powers the auger that moves ice from the freezer bin through the dispenser, restoring reliable ice delivery when the auger no longer turns or dispenses ice properly. What it does:

• Drives and supports the auger shaft that pushes ice to the dispenser chute
• Replaces a failed or noisy auger motor to restore normal ice dispensing
• Helps when the auger does not rotate, ice won't dispense, or the motor is unusually loud
• Interfaces with the dispenser gearbox/yoke to keep the auger aligned and turning

• One auger motor and yoke assembly

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before beginning any work
• Remove the ice bin and any obstructing panels to access the auger assembly
• Handle parts and panels carefully—sharp edges may be present

This small retaining clip secures components in place inside the appliance, helping prevent movement, vibration, and premature wear. Replace a bent, fatigued, or missing clip to restore a solid, factory-tight hold.

• Holds panels, brackets, or tubing securely in their mounts
• Helps maintain alignment to reduce rattles, rubbing, or intermittent issues
• Common signs of failure: missing clip, loose fit, buzzing/vibration, parts that won't stay seated
• Restores proper retention after service, transport, or vibration-related fatigue

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
• Note the original clip's orientation; remove with needle-nose pliers
• Seat the new clip fully—do not over-bend; spring tension provides the hold
• Test operation before reassembly

This support mounts in the dispenser area to secure the ice housing assembly. It helps keep the chute and door properly aligned so ice dispenses smoothly and the opening seals as designed.

• Supports and positions the ice housing/chute assembly in the freezer door
• Helps maintain proper alignment and sealing of the ice door/flapper
• Reduces wobble or flex that can affect dispensing performance
• Typical signs it may be needed: loose or misaligned dispenser housing, ice or air leaking at the chute, frost buildup around the dispenser, inconsistent ice dispensing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the dispenser trim/control to access the housing; handle wiring and tabs carefully
• Remove mounting fasteners, replace the support, and transfer any reusable hardware
• Reassemble, restore power, and test ice dispensing and chute seal

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This thermostat retainer clip secures the defrost thermostat to the evaporator tubing in your refrigerator or freezer, maintaining firm contact for accurate temperature sensing and dependable defrost operation.

• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power

This is a genuine lock nut replacement. This is a general piece of hardware that is often used on several types of lawn and garden equipment, including in engines, housing, and other areas. The exact application of this part will vary based on the unit. The lock nut is used to create a more secure seal than a standard nut. When properly secured, the lock nut tightens to a bolt and uses an extra locking washer with teeth to ensure a snug fit.If lock washers do get damaged or lost, they need to be replaced immediately with a genuine OEM replacement. This model is compatible with all types of machines and units since it is a generic part. The washer is sold as an individual part and manufactured by Whirlpool. Lock nuts will need to be installed using a socket wrench or adjustable wrench. Pliers, a screwdriver, or another socket wrench will be needed to hold the bolt while the lock nut is being secured in place. Be sure to thread the lock nut carefully to ensure a strong seal and avoid stripping the bolt or the nut.

This sheet-metal pan-head screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components to the cabinet or frame. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit and helps stop rattles, misalignment, and loosening.

• Fastens sheet-metal panels, covers, ducts, and brackets to the appliance chassis
• Helps keep components aligned and secure during operation
• Replace if the original is missing, rusted, stripped, or damaged
• Common symptoms: loose or vibrating panels, gaps or misaligned parts, hardware that won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply before servicing
• Support the panel or part being attached; hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit; tighten snugly but do not overtighten into sheet metal
• If multiple matching screws secure a part, consider replacing them as a set for consistent hold

This silicone lubricant is used during appliance service to condition rubber seals and O-rings, especially in dishwashers. It eases installation and helps new seals seat properly for a reliable, leak-resistant connection on pumps, valves, and hose fittings.

• Lubricates rubber seals, O-rings, and gaskets to prevent rolling, tearing, or binding during assembly
• Helps seals seat correctly to support leak-resistant joints
• Aids insertion of hoses, plastic fittings, and pump components
• Helpful when reassembling sump, diverter, inlet, and drain connections
• Common signs it may be needed: difficulty installing seals, seals that dislodge, or seepage after a seal replacement

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Clean and inspect mating surfaces; replace any cracked, flattened, or cut seals
• Apply a light, even film to the rubber part only; avoid over-application
• Wipe away excess; do not use lubricant to compensate for damaged seals—replace them
