This evaporator tray collects defrost/condensate water and holds it where warm air can evaporate it, helping prevent leaks and odors. Replace a cracked or warped tray to restore proper drainage and protect surrounding floors and cabinetry.

• Collects water from the evaporator/defrost system and contains it safely
• Promotes evaporation using airflow and heat near the condenser area
• Helps prevent puddles beneath the appliance and mildew odors
• Common signs of failure: water on the floor, recurring leaks after defrost, visible cracks/warping, or standing water in the pan

• Disconnect power and allow components to cool before servicing
• Access the tray from the base or rear (panel removal varies by model)
• Transfer any brackets, clips, or grommets from the old tray as needed
• Ensure the drain tube seats fully into the tray and that the tray is level; restore power and check for leaks

This hinge cover replaces a damaged or missing hinge trim to protect and conceal the hinge assembly and restore the appliance's finished appearance. It fits over the hinge area and helps reduce dirt buildup and exposed hardware. What it does:

• Covers and protects hinge hardware, hiding screws and sharp edges
• Helps keep dirt, lint, and moisture out of the hinge area
• Restores the appliance's original, finished look
• Common symptoms: cracked, broken, or missing cover; exposed hinge hardware; cosmetic damage or debris buildup

• Refer to your model diagram for correct orientation and fastener locations

• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts; follow OEM instructions for reassembly

Capacitor supplies a short burst of stored electrical energy to help the appliance motor start and run efficiently. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore reliable motor startup and reduce humming or intermittent operation. What it does

• Provides the electrical boost motors need to start and maintain proper speed.
• A failing capacitor commonly causes motors to hum, struggle to start, run slowly, or stop unexpectedly.
• Used on motors and fans that require a start/run assist; replacing a bad capacitor often resolves startup and intermittent operation issues.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor safely (use insulated tools and gloves) before touching terminals — capacitors can hold a dangerous charge.
• Photograph or label wiring and terminal locations before removal so replacements reconnect exactly the same way.
