451Uc/02 Parts

This compressor overload is a thermal/protective device that helps prevent compressor damage by cutting power when the motor overheats or draws excessive current. It restores normal operation once conditions return to safe levels. What it does:

• Protects the refrigerator compressor from overheating and electrical overloads
• Works with the compressor start relay to help the motor start and run properly
• Common symptom linkage: replaces a failed overload when the compressor hums but won't start
• Stops compressor cycling or prevents repeated trips that cause cooling loss

• One compressor overload (single piece as shown)

• Disconnect all power before replacing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals carefully and reconnect matching terminal positions
• Replace only with the same part number or equivalent
• If compressor still won't start after replacing the overload, check the start relay and compressor condition.

A small metal clamp that secures the refrigerator's capillary (temperature sensing) tube to the cold control so the thermostat reads temperatures accurately. Replaces worn or missing clamps to keep the sensing tube stable and prevent movement-related issues. What it does:

• Holds the capillary/sensing tube firmly against the cold control or cabinet
• Helps maintain accurate thermostat sensing by preventing tube movement
• Reduces vibration or rattling from a loose sensing tube
• Stops intermittent temperature swings caused by a displaced capillary tube

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance.
• Handle the capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Install clamp over the tube and secure to the control or bracket using the factory hole or fastener; do not overtighten.

This spring-style hose clamp secures flexible appliance hoses and helps prevent leaks by holding hose ends tightly to fittings. Reliable, low-profile design for use on drain, water, or vent hoses where a strong, consistent grip is needed. What it does:

• Provides a spring-tensioned grip to keep hoses seated on fittings and reduce leaks
• Commonly used on flexible drain or water hoses and small vent lines
• Helps maintain proper connection under normal vibration and thermal cycling
• Replaces worn, stretched, or corroded clamps that no longer hold tension

• One spring hose clamp (exact quantity as sold)

• Use pliers to expand the clamp, slide into position, then release to seat on the fitting
• Inspect hose ends and fittings for wear; replace hose if damaged before installing clamp
• Wear eye protection when compressing the clamp; keep fingers clear of the clamp's edges
• Tighten only as needed—over-compressing can damage the hose

This flat washer is a small hardware spacer that helps distribute fastener load and protect mating surfaces for appliance assemblies. It provides a stable, flush bearing surface to keep screws and bolts seated securely. What it does:

• Distributes clamping force from screws or bolts to reduce surface damage
• Helps maintain even, secure connections and prevents pull-through
• Acts as a spacer to ensure proper clearance and alignment of parts
• Can reduce vibration-related loosening when used with the correct fastener

• Disconnect power and water to the appliance before servicing
• Match washer size and thickness to the original part for proper fit
• Place washer between fastener head and mating surface; avoid overtightening
• If missing corrosion or wear is present on fasteners, replace the fastener and washer together

This top support (left) is a molded mounting bracket that secures the refrigerator cabinet or inner liner at the cabinet's upper-left corner to restore proper alignment and stable fit of the top section. It replaces a cracked, broken or missing upper-left support. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point for the refrigerator upper cabinet/liner to prevent sagging at the top left corner
• Restores correct alignment for doors and trim that may bind or gap due to a failed support
• Reduces vibration or noise caused by a loose/compromised upper corner connection
• Helps maintain a tight seal and proper operation by supporting structural components

• Designed to install in the refrigerator upper-left cabinet/liner; follow OEM disassembly steps
• Inspect surrounding clips/screws and replace any damaged fasteners
• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power before servicing
