Left hand side

A roll pin (spring pin) that secures rotating or sliding components by fitting into matched holes to hold shafts, levers, or brackets in place. Replaces a worn or damaged pin to restore proper mechanical engagement. What it does:

• Holds shafts, levers or hinges in position by expanding into drilled holes for a snug, vibration-resistant fit
• Keeps pulleys, rollers, or linkages from moving out of alignment or sliding off their shafts
• Common symptom: loose or wobbling pulley, lever, or shaft where the retaining pin is worn or broken
• Common symptom: noisy or intermittent operation caused by a pin that no longer secures moving parts

• Inspect mating holes and shaft for wear; replace pin with correct size to ensure secure fit
• Use appropriate pliers or a pin punch and hammer to drive the pin in or out; support the assembly to avoid damage
• Wear eye protection when installing or removing roll pins—pins can snap or fly out under force
• If pin is difficult to remove or install, consider using penetrating oil or heating only per OEM guidance

This wire harness is the factory-style electrical assembly that routes power and signals between components to restore reliable operation. It replaces damaged or worn wiring and connector assemblies responsible for intermittent or lost power. What it does:

• Carries electrical power and control signals between appliance components
• Replaces frayed, burnt, or broken wiring that can cause intermittent operation
• Resolves symptoms such as the appliance failing to start, erratic control behavior, or intermittent power to components
• Ensures connectors are properly routed and joined to prevent shorts and unreliable connections

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or switch off circuit breaker) before you begin
• Handle connectors gently; match connector shapes and pin counts before seating
• Route the harness following factory clips and channels to avoid heat or pinch points

This replacement water fill tube routes water to the appliance's dispenser/ice system so you get proper fill and reduced leaks. It restores reliable water delivery when the original tube is cracked or clogged. What it does:

• Directs water from the supply to the dispenser or ice/water mechanism
• Prevents leaks when intact and properly secured
• Helps ensure consistent water flow for ice makers and dispensers
• Worn or damaged tubes can cause pooling, low water delivery, or intermittent filling

• One replacement water fill tube

• Turn off the appliance power and water supply before starting work
• Inspect fittings and seals; replace clamps or gaskets if worn
• Slide tube into place and secure with the original or new clamps for a leak-free connection

This replacement receiver lens covers and protects the appliance's infrared/receiver area and indicator light while allowing signals and status lights to show through clearly. It restores proper protection and visibility for the sensor/indicator assembly. What it does:

• Protects the IR/receiver and indicator area from dust, spills, and impact
• Allows remote/IR signals and indicator lights to pass through without obstruction
• Replaces cracked, discolored or missing lens that can hide status lights or reduce signal clarity
• Helps maintain original appearance of the control/console area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Remove the control console or front panel per the service manual to access the lens.
• Handle the lens gently to avoid scratching; seat it into the bezel until it snaps or rests securely.

A replacement support control bracket that secures the appliance control/console to the cabinet, restoring stable button alignment and preventing the control panel from sagging or shifting during use. Durable stamped metal design for reliable mounting. What it does:

• Secures the control console to the appliance cabinet so the control assembly stays properly positioned
• Prevents the control panel or console from sagging, rocking, or coming loose
• Helps maintain proper alignment of switches, knobs, and electronic controls
• Resolves intermittent button contact or usability issues caused by a loose console

• Disconnect power before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver) are typically required; keep original fasteners if present
• Align bracket with factory mounting points and tighten hardware securely but avoid overtightening

A small metal retaining clip that secures a bi-metal thermostat or temperature sensor in place, helping maintain proper contact and accurate temperature sensing for reliable appliance operation. Simple, durable replacement part. What it does

• Holds a bi-metal thermostat or temperature sensor firmly against its mounting point or probe.
• Maintains consistent contact to support accurate temperature sensing and control.
• Can help stop intermittent temperature-related issues caused by a loose or damaged clip.
• Designed for direct replacement where a spring-style or formed metal retainer is required.

• One bi-metal retaining clip (single clip).

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair.
• Removal/installation typically requires small pliers or a flat screwdriver; avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
• Verify clip orientation and that the sensor/thermostat is seated fully before securing.

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and small components. It provides a correct-fit fastener to restore secure attachment and eliminate rattles or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, brackets, or small assemblies to prevent movement and vibration
• Restores proper alignment when a worn or missing screw causes loose parts or noise
• Works as a direct-replacement fastener where the OEM screw specification is required

• One replacement screw

• Use the correct driver bit to avoid stripping the head; do not overtighten
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety guidelines when accessing internal components
• If the original mounting hole or threads are damaged, repair or replace the mounting hardware before reinstalling

This damper heater is the heater element used with the refrigerator air-damper assembly to help prevent frost and condensation buildup around the damper. Replaces a failed heater to restore proper damper operation and airflow. What it does:

• Warms the damper area to reduce ice and condensation that can block the damper
• Helps ensure the fresh-food and freezer compartments share airflow as intended
• Commonly replaced when frost or ice accumulates near the damper or when the damper fails to open/close smoothly
• Works as part of the damper/air control system; does not include the full damper housing or actuators unless specified

• Disconnect power to the appliance before replacing this part to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing interior panels or the damper housing; follow OEM instructions for your model
• Inspect the damper housing and actuator for damage or ice buildup when replacing the heater

This evaporator cover gasket seals the evaporator cover to the refrigerator cabinet, helping maintain proper airflow and reducing frost buildup behind the back wall. It restores a tight seal for more reliable cooling performance. What it does:

• Seals the evaporator cover to prevent air leaks that can cause frost or ice buildup
• Helps maintain consistent cold-air circulation in the freezer/refrigerator compartment
• Reduces chances of excessive frost, water pooling, or longer run cycles tied to air infiltration
• Supports normal defrost operation by keeping warm, moist air out of the evaporator cavity

• Disconnect power before servicing and allow the appliance to defrost if needed
• Remove the evaporator cover carefully; watch for sharp sheet-metal edges and retain fasteners
• Position gasket evenly around the cover mating surface; avoid stretching or creasing the seal
• If adhesive or clips are used, replace or reapply per OEM guidance to ensure a secure fit
