This axle roller is the replacement support shaft that lets the appliance's rotating assembly turn smoothly and quietly. Installing a new axle roller corrects wobble and reduces grinding or squealing caused by a worn shaft. What it does:

• Supports the rotating drum or rack so it spins freely and stays aligned
• Helps prevent metal-to-metal contact that causes loud noise or scraping
• Stops uneven rotation and vibration that can lead to further wear
• Restores smooth operation when an original axle is bent, worn, or broken

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Access location and removal steps vary by model; follow the OEM service manual or diagram
• Inspect related parts (pulleys, idler, glides, bearings) and replace if they show wear
• Use basic hand tools; keep fingers and loose clothing clear of moving parts during testing

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 is the mechanical shutoff arm for the ice maker. It lifts to pause ice production when the bin is full and lowers to resume, restoring proper on/off control to help prevent overfilling or a no-ice condition.

• Starts and stops ice production based on arm position (down = on, up = off)
• Replaces a bent, broken, or missing arm to restore proper shutoff function
• Helps address: ice maker won't stop making ice/overfills the bin
• Helps address: ice maker won't make ice because the arm is stuck in the up/off position

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the ice bin for access; withdraw the old arm from the pivot holes
• Insert the new arm into the ice maker pivot points; ensure smooth up/down movement
• Restore power and verify the arm raises to stop and lowers to start ice making

This is the refrigerator's sealed-system compressor. It pressurizes and moves refrigerant through the system to remove heat from the cabinet, restoring consistent cooling performance when the original compressor has failed or lost capacity. What it does and common symptoms:

• Pumps and circulates refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat
• Maintains target temperatures in both fresh food and freezer sections
• Symptoms of failure can include: no cool/poor cooling, unit warms up after short operation, humming then clicking from the compressor area, or repeated thermal overload trips
• Runs but not cool effectively when the compressor is weak or internally damaged (after ruling out start components and charge issues)

• 1 compressor

• Disconnect power before servicing; sealed-system work involves high pressure and high temperatures
• Sealed-system repairs require EPA Section 608 certification and specialized tools (gauges, vacuum pump, brazing equipment)
• Replace the filter-drier, braze connections properly, evacuate to deep vacuum, and charge to the model's specification
• Related components (start device/overload, run capacitor, controls) are tested before condemning the compressor

Replacement control knob that restores positive, easy-to-use control of appliance settings. Installs quickly to replace a cracked, stripped or missing knob so you can accurately select cycles, temperatures or timers. What it does:
