Ffss26140sia Parts

Shroud assembly that covers internal refrigerator components and helps direct airflow for consistent cooling. Replacing a cracked or damaged shroud restores proper airflow paths and can reduce fan vibration and contact-related noise. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal components from debris and accidental contact.
• Directs airflow around the evaporator/fan area to support even cooling; symptoms of a failing shroud include uneven cooling or frost buildup.
• Reduces fan noise and vibration when mounting tabs or the housing are intact.
• Visible cracks, broken tabs, or holes are common signs the shroud needs replacement.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Remove interior panels and fasteners carefully; retain hardware for reinstallation.
• Align tabs and mounting points; do not force broken tabs—replace damaged fasteners as needed.

This aluminum strap secures the defrost heater firmly against the evaporator coil to maintain proper contact during defrost. Correct contact improves heat transfer so frost melts evenly and helps prevent recurring ice buildup on the evaporator.

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator for proper contact and heat transfer
• Promotes complete, even defrosting across the evaporator coil
• Helps reduce repeat frost/ice accumulation caused by a shifted or loose heater
• Typical clues include a loose heater, uneven frost pattern, or rattling near the evaporator

• Disconnect power and allow ice to melt before accessing the evaporator
• Use care around sharp fins and fragile refrigerant tubing; do not puncture or deform the coil
• Position the heater per your model's parts diagram and tighten the strap for firm, even contact
• Verify wiring is routed clear of the fan and moving parts before reassembly

Access door provides a finished cover for the appliance's service opening, protecting internal components from dust and damage while keeping the unit looking tidy and allowing access for maintenance and repairs. What it does:

• Covers the service or access opening and protects wiring, valves, and other internal parts.
• Allows access to controls, connections, or components for inspection and repair without removing major panels.
• Helps prevent debris, pets, or fingers from contacting internal parts.
• Replace a missing, cracked, or damaged access door to restore appearance and reduce exposure of internal components.

• Always disconnect power (and gas for gas appliances) before removing panels or working on the appliance.
• Handle the door and surrounding edges carefully to avoid cuts; keep original fasteners and reuse if undamaged.
• Align tabs/clips and secure with manufacturer screws; do not overtighten.

This lower hinge bracket supports and aligns the refrigerator door at the bottom pivot point. Replacing a bent or worn bracket restores smooth door movement and proper alignment so the door opens and closes without rubbing or sagging.

• Provides the mounting point for the lower hinge/pin at the cabinet base
• Keeps the door square and aligned for smooth opening and closing
• Common fix for door sagging/drooping or rubbing at the bottom corner
• Helps eliminate scraping, binding, or squeaking from a damaged hinge area
• Replaces cracked, bent, or stripped brackets

• Disconnect power and remove items from the door to reduce weight.
• Support the door; remove the bottom hinge cover and screws, then lift the door off the lower hinge pin.
• Remove the old bracket, transfer any reusable hardware/shims, and install the new bracket securely.
• Reinstall the door, check gaps and gasket contact, adjust as needed, and restore power.

This refrigerator seal restores a tight barrier between internal components. Replacing a worn or damaged seal helps prevent air leaks and moisture intrusion, supporting proper airflow, stable temperatures, and reduced frost or condensation around the joint.

• Creates an air-tight barrier between mating surfaces
• Helps maintain correct airflow and temperature balance between compartments
• Reduces frost, condensation, and warm/cold spots near the sealed area
• Common signs of failure: visible gaps, loose/crumbled seal, rattling panel, moisture or frost at the joint

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the related cover or housing to access the old seal
• Clean contact surfaces; install the new seal in the same orientation without stretching or pinching
• Reassemble and verify an even seal and normal airflow before returning to service

This fixed blade sits inside the refrigerator's ice bucket/crusher assembly. It provides a stationary cutting edge that works with the auger and rotating blades to break up cubes, helping your dispenser deliver consistent crushed ice.

• Stationary crusher blade that works with the auger and rotating blades to crush ice
• Helps prevent whole cubes from passing through on the "crushed" setting
• Worn, bent, or missing blades can cause poor crushing, jams, or uneven ice size
• May help address symptoms like dispenser jamming, irregular crushed ice, or increased grinding noises

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; remove and empty the ice bucket
• Note the order and orientation of blades, spacers, and fasteners; take reference photos
• Handle sharp metal edges; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Reassemble in the original sequence and tighten hardware snugly; ensure the auger turns freely before reinstalling

This small but critical actuator spring restores return tension in a refrigerator's actuator mechanism, helping the lever reset to neutral after use so controls feel responsive and operation stops cleanly. What it does:

• Provides the return force for an actuator or lever so it moves back to its neutral position
• Helps the mechanism engage/disengage a switch cleanly
• Common symptoms of a weak or broken spring: lever sticks, feels loose, or doesn't spring back
• Contribute to intermittent activation or failure to stop when released

• 1 actuator spring

• Disconnect power; if working near the dispenser/water system, shut off the water supply
• Access the actuator mechanism and note the spring's exact orientation (take a photo before removal)
• Use needle-nose pliers to transfer the spring; do not over-stretch or deform it
• Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection; test lever return action before reassembly

This replacement screw secures appliance components to their mounting points so panels, brackets, and trim stay tight and aligned. Replace missing or stripped hardware to restore a solid, rattle-free fit and proper assembly integrity.

• Secures panels, brackets, and trim to prevent movement and maintain alignment
• Replaces missing, damaged, or stripped hardware that can compromise assembly
• Helps reduce rattling or vibration from loose components
• Restores proper fit after service or access panel removal

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; turn off water supply if working near dispenser/ice areas
• Compare the new screw to the original to ensure thread, head style, and length
• Start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing, especially into plastic
• Retain and reuse any original washers, spacers, or clips as required

This spacer fits the refrigerator door hinge to set proper clearance and alignment so the door swings smoothly and seals correctly. Replace a worn or missing spacer to eliminate rubbing and uneven gaps at the door.

• Maintains the specified distance between hinge components for correct door height and alignment
• Helps the door open and close without rubbing or binding
• Supports consistent gasket contact for a reliable seal
• Common signs of wear: door sagging, scraping noises, uneven gaps, or the door not closing flush
