Etlchmxkq00 Parts

This replacement defrost heater warms the freezer's evaporator area during the automatic defrost cycle. It melts accumulated frost so air can circulate, helping maintain stable temperatures and preventing ice buildup on the back wall.

• Heats the evaporator to clear frost and ice during defrost
• Helps keep airflow passages and the defrost drain path open
• Common symptoms of a failed heater: heavy frost on the back panel/coils, poor cooling or warm sections, fan noise from ice contact, cooling returns temporarily after a manual defrost
• Typically located behind the rear freezer panel

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer's rear panel; thaw heavy ice before removal
• Transfer any clips/brackets and route wires exactly as original, keeping them away from plastic parts
• After installation, ensure wiring connections are secure and the heater is not contacting plastic surfaces

Size: 10-16 ab.

This SCR is a solid-state switching module that controls on/off power flow in select appliance circuits. Replacing a failed SCR helps stop intermittent operation and restores reliable switching for affected motors or heating elements. What it does:

• Regulates electrical switching in the control circuit to turn motors or heaters on and off.
• Used where a solid-state switch is required for smooth, repeatable control.
• Symptoms of a failing SCR: appliance won't start, runs intermittently, hums without operating, or a controlled circuit does not respond.
• Restores proper switching when the original SCR is shorted, open, or erratic.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service; follow lockout/tagout procedures.
• Handle as an electronic component—avoid static discharge and protect the spade terminals from bending or contamination.
• Ensure correct orientation and secure mounting; reconnect wiring exactly as shown on the appliance wiring diagram.

8-18 CA HX 1/2 S

This tower bottom for the freezer compartment mounts beneath the evaporator/tower assembly and directs cold air while protecting internal components. It helps maintain proper airflow and supports the evaporator area for reliable cooling performance. What it does

• Supports and secures the lower portion of the freezer tower/evaporator assembly
• Channels cold air from the evaporator into the freezer compartment for even circulation
• Shields wiring and small components from ice buildup and physical damage
• Can reduce rattling or loose panel noise when the original part is cracked or broken
• Commonly replaced when the tower is cracked, warped, or missing mounting tabs

• One tower bottom (freezer) piece

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Removal typically requires taking out interior liners or trim panels; keep fasteners organized
• Handle plastic parts carefully to avoid breaking tabs; use appropriate tools to pry or lift panels

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

This holder element assembly secures the appliance's heating element in the correct position so the element stays stable for consistent operation and safe performance. It's a direct-fit replacement for worn or damaged holders. What it does:

• Secures and supports the heating element inside the appliance to maintain proper alignment
• Prevents element sagging or contact with other components that can cause noise or arcing
• Helps reduce vibration and movement that can lead to intermittent heating
• Common symptom: visible holder damage, loose or shifted element, unusual noise during operation

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair
• Allow appliance and element to fully cool before handling
• Handle the element and holder carefully to avoid bending or damaging the element

This replacement screw fastens appliance panels, brackets, and trim. The 8-18 thread with 1-3/4-inch length provides reliable bite in sheet metal or plastic, restoring a secure fit when an original fastener is missing or damaged.

• Secures panels, brackets, and trim to the cabinet or frame
• Replaces lost, stripped, or corroded fasteners
• Helps address loose or rattling panels, minor gaps, or misalignment
• Appropriate for sheet-metal applications that require ~1-3/4-inch reach

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Support the panel or part being fastened and use the correct driver for the screw head
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; do not overtighten into plastic or thin metal
• Repair or replace the anchor before installing

This motor overload (thermal protector) helps protect the washer motor from overheating and motor damage by interrupting power if the motor draws excessive current or gets too hot. It's a simple, compact safety device that restores normal operation once cooled. What it does:

• Senses excessive motor temperature/current and cuts power to prevent motor burnout
• Helps stop motor humming or stalling caused by overload conditions
• Can prevent intermittent starts or trips when the motor overheats
• Resets automatically after the motor cools (depending on motor design)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Mounts onto the motor or motor harness per the OEM location; replace the faulty unit like-for-like
• Use basic hand tools; avoid tugging on wires—disconnect connectors carefully

This overload is a compressor protector that helps stop the compressor from overheating or drawing excessive current, keeping the refrigeration system safer and helping prevent premature compressor failure. What it does:

• Opens the compressor circuit when the compressor overheats or draws excessive current
• Helps protect the compressor motor from damage caused by electrical overloads or locked-rotor conditions
• Works with the start device/relay to allow normal compressor starting and operation
• Commonly used when a compressor fails to start, hums, or trips the circuit

• One overload protector

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service
• Handle the part carefully and avoid bending terminals; secure it per OEM mounting method
• If compressor or start components show damage, inspect/replace those parts as well; consider service for sealed-system diagnosis

Replacement screw that secures panels, trim and internal brackets to keep appliance components stable and rattle-free. Use when originals are missing, stripped, or broken to restore proper fit and safe operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, control housings, trim and small brackets so parts stay aligned and stable.
• Replaces missing or damaged fasteners that cause rattling, vibration, or loose assemblies.
• Keeps electrical and mechanical components properly positioned for reliable operation.
• Intended as a direct replacement where the OEM screw specified for the application is required.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting any repair.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit and seat the screw squarely to avoid stripping the head or threads.
• Do not overtighten—stop when snug to prevent damage to panels or plastic components.
• Keep removed screws organized; replace only with the identical OEM screw for proper fit.
