Defrost Timer Parts

A replacement bracket screw used to fasten internal brackets and panels to the appliance frame, restoring secure mounting and reducing rattling or misalignment caused by stripped, corroded, or missing fasteners. What it does

• Secures mounting brackets, panels or trim to the appliance chassis.
• Restores proper alignment and prevents movement or vibration-related noise.
• Use when the original screw is stripped, rusted, broken, or missing.
• Square-drive head provides a reliable engagement for positive tightening.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical hazard.
• Use the correct square (Robertson) driver to avoid cam-out and head damage.
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack panels.
• If threads are damaged, replace with the matching screw size and type or repair threads before reuse.

This replacement heater assembly restores proper heat output in your appliance. It delivers the thermal energy needed for normal operation so your unit can reach and maintain the correct temperature and complete cycles as designed.

• Generates heat for the appliance's heating/drying/defrost function (as applicable to your model)
• Helps the unit reach and maintain target temperature for proper performance
• Common failure signs: no heat or weak heat; cycles take too long or do not complete
• May trigger heating-related error/fault codes; visible breaks or hot spots on the element; tripped breaker from a short to ground

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; internal panels and chassis edges can be sharp
• Document wire routing and mounting positions before removal; route wiring exactly as original
• After installation, ensure secure connections and clearance from metal surfaces; run a brief test cycle to verify operation

This retaining ring secures a component on a shaft or within a groove so it stays aligned during operation. Replacing a bent, rusted, or missing ring helps stop wobble, noise, and parts working loose.

• Locks into a groove to keep gears, pulleys, wheels, or spacers from sliding off a shaft
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment of moving parts
• Common signs of failure: wobbling parts, scraping/rubbing noises, or components that work loose
• Visual clues: deformation, corrosion, or loss of spring tension

• Disconnect power and any utilities to the appliance before service
• Wear eye protection—retaining rings can spring free under tension
• Note the order/orientation of any washers or spacers before removal
• Use appropriate snap-ring or needle-nose pliers and ensure the ring seats fully in its groove

This heater baffle mounts near the heating element to deflect and distribute radiant heat. It helps protect nearby surfaces and wiring while promoting more even temperatures and reliable performance inside the appliance.

• Directs and diffuses heat from the element to reduce hot spots
• Acts as a heat shield to protect the liner and adjacent components from direct radiant heat
• Helps maintain proper clearance and airflow around the element
• Damage or a missing baffle can lead to uneven temperatures, localized discoloration/scorching, or a burning smell

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; allow it to cool completely
• Access the heater area; remove the screws or clips securing the existing baffle and retain the hardware
• Position the new baffle in the same orientation; ensure it does not contact the heating element
• Restore power and test operation

Seal assembly replaces the washer's front tub seal to prevent water from leaking around the cylinder, helping stop puddles under the machine and protecting internal components from water exposure. What it does:

• Forms a watertight seal between the front of the tub/cylinder and the outer housing.
• Helps stop leaks that occur during fill, wash, or spin cycles; replacement commonly resolves visible water at the front/base of the washer.
• Use when the seal shows cracks, tears, hardening, or other visible damage.
• Replacement restores proper sealing to help protect bearings and electronics from water intrusion.

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing.
• Replacement typically requires front access and partial disassembly of the tub/cabinet; follow the manufacturer service manual and use appropriate tools.
• Clean and inspect the mating surfaces and the shaft for wear or contamination before installing the new seal.
• If you find bearing noise, oil residue, or extensive corrosion, consider replacing affected components.

This hex-head sheet metal screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and trim for a tight, rattle-free fit. Replace missing or stripped fasteners to keep covers and components firmly in place and restore proper alignment.

• Fastens sheet-metal parts, brackets, and trim using a hex drive
• Replaces worn, rusted, missing, or stripped screws
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose panels
• Common signs you need this fastener: head or threads stripped, screw won't tighten, panel or handle coming loose

• Unplug the appliance before service; turn off water supply if working near water lines
• Use the correct nut driver or socket to avoid rounding the head
• Replace one fastener at a time to maintain alignment; do not overtighten
• Match screw type/length to the original location as specified by the manufacturer

Specs: No.8X1/2 HEX WASHER HEAD

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.

An adjustable leveler that supports and raises or lowers the appliance to help stabilize it on uneven floors. Restores proper alignment to reduce rocking, vibration, and door misalignment for improved performance and safety. What it does:

• Provides height adjustment to level the cabinet and prevent rocking
• Helps doors close and seal correctly by correcting leaning or unevenness
• Reduces vibration and movement that can cause noise or wear
• Simple turn-to-adjust design for fine tuning appliance position

• Unplug the appliance (and shut off water supply for units with plumbing) before working nearby
• Support the appliance when adjusting so it does not tip; use a helper or appliance dolly as needed
• Turn the leveler by hand or with a wrench; adjust both front/back or left/right sides evenly and re-check with a level
