This rubber grommet seals the suction/water pipe where it passes through the appliance cabinet to reduce leaks and dampen vibration. It restores a tight, durable seal to help prevent water intrusion and rattling. What it does:

• Cushions and seals the suction/water pipe where it passes through sheet metal or plastic.
• Reduces vibration and pipe movement that can cause noise or wear.
• Helps prevent water leaks or moisture entry at the cabinet penetration.
• Maintains a proper fit for tubing routing and component alignment.

• One rubber suction pipe grommet.

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing.
• Remove access panels as needed to reach the pipe penetration; press grommet into opening and route pipe through center.
• Replace any brittle, torn, or deformed grommets; do not force a damaged grommet into place.

This is the left-side freezer evaporator fan motor. It spins the fan to draw air across the evaporator coil and circulate cold air, restoring proper airflow, quieter operation, and stable temperatures when the original motor is weak, seized, or noisy.

• Circulates air across the freezer evaporator coil to move cold air through the compartment
• Supports even cooling and temperature recovery after door openings
• Helps limit frost buildup on the back panel by keeping air moving
• Failure symptoms include weak or no airflow, loud or intermittent fan noise, rising freezer temperature, or soft/melting ice

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove freezer drawers/shelves and the rear panel to access the motor
• Note wire orientation; transfer the existing fan blade and any reusable mounting hardware from the old motor
• Ensure the blade spins freely and the shroud is clear before restoring power and checking airflow

A self-tapping screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a threaded hole is formed as the screw is driven. Provides a secure hold for trim, brackets, and light assemblies during repairs. What it does:

• Cuts its own mating thread in sheet metal or thin plastic to secure panels and brackets
• Helps hold trim, access panels, or internal components in place
• Commonly used where a tapped hole is not present or repair requires a replacement fastener
• Can prevent loose parts and rattles caused by missing or damaged screws

• Unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical or mechanical hazards
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the screw head
• Start the screw straight and apply steady pressure; do not overtighten to avoid cracking plastic or stripping metal
• Replace only with the exact part number to ensure proper fit and function

This roller supports the vegetable/crisper drawer so it slides smoothly in and out of the refrigerator. It replaces worn or broken rollers to restore proper drawer movement and reduce sticking or catching. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or worn roller that prevents the veg/crisper drawer from sliding smoothly
• Helps eliminate drawer binding, uneven travel, or noisy movement
• Supports the drawer weight and keeps the pan aligned on its track

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove the crisper/veg drawer and housing per your model's instructions to access the roller
• Roller typically snaps into a bracket or slides onto a pin; inspect mating parts and replace any broken clips

This ice chute cap gasket seals the ice chute cap to help keep ice contained and reduce air or moisture intrusion in the dispenser area. It restores a tight, flexible seal for proper ice dispensing and storage. What it does:

• Seals around the ice chute cap to help prevent ice spills and migration
• Limits warm air and moisture from entering the ice compartment
• Helps reduce ice clumping and sticking by maintaining a stable chute seal
• Restores proper fit where a worn or torn gasket allows gaps

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the gasket
• Remove the chute cap carefully, clean mating surfaces, and press new gasket fully into place for an even seal
• Inspect surrounding trim for damage and handle the gasket gently to avoid tears
• If adhesive or fasteners are present on your model, use only OEM-recommended methods
