This push-button door switch detects when the appliance door opens and closes, enabling the interior light and informing the control system. Replacing a faulty switch restores normal door-sensing and light operation. What it does:

• Activates the interior light when the door opens and turns it off when closed
• Sends a door-open/closed signal to the appliance control so timed features behave correctly
• Commonly replaces a switch that causes the light to stay off or fail to turn off
• Helps eliminate intermittent lighting or door-sensing problems

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing the light housing or door trim; keep fasteners for reassembly
• Verify the old switch matches this part number and connector style before installing

This air brake/drain hose assembly creates an anti-siphon break in the drain line and safely routes wastewater to household plumbing. Replacing a cracked, kinked, or clogged assembly restores reliable draining and helps prevent leaks or backflow.

• Provides the air gap/vacuum break to help prevent siphoning and contamination
• Connects the dishwasher's drain outlet to the air gap or garbage disposal/inlet
• Helps keep water from backing into the tub after a cycle
• Typical failure signs: leaks, slow or no drain, water returning to tub, visible hose damage

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply and place towels to catch residual water
• Note original hose routing and clamp positions; reuse existing clamps and seals as needed
• Maintain a high loop or external air gap per local code when routing the drain line
• After installation, run a short cycle and inspect all connections for leaks or kinks

This heater assembly restores heat production in electric dryers so clothes dry efficiently. It replaces a failed heating element and helps return the appliance to normal drying performance. What it does:

• Heats air passing through the dryer drum so laundry dries during operation
• Replaces a burned-out or open heating element that causes no heat or weak heat
• Addresses long dry times and extended cycles when the element isn't functioning
• Works with the dryer's blower and thermostatic controls to maintain proper air temperature

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting any repair; this part carries live voltage during operation
• Handle the heating element carefully to avoid bending or damaging the coil
• Inspect fuses, thermostats, wiring, and connectors while replacing the heater to ensure full repair
• Follow the appliance manufacturer's service instructions for disassembly and reassembly

This thermostat assembly regulates refrigerator temperature, helping maintain set cooling levels for fresh food or freezer sections. It replaces a faulty control that can cause inconsistent temperatures or erratic compressor cycling. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and signals the compressor to run or stop to maintain setpoint
• Restores stable cooling when a failed thermostat causes warm spots or fluctuating temps
• Stops excessive compressor cycling caused by a defective control
• Works with the fridge's temperature knob/sensor system to provide user temperature adjustments

• Disconnect power before starting; shut off water/ice features if applicable
• Handle the capillary tube and sensor gently—do not kink or bend sharply
• Match mounting orientation and electrical connector locations to the original part
• After installation, restore power and verify proper temperature control and normal compressor cycling

This duct assembly channels air through the appliance to maintain proper airflow and reliable operation. Replacing a damaged or cracked duct helps restore ventilation and can reduce noise and poor performance. What it does:

• Directs air from the blower/tub area into the vent path to enable normal airflow
• Prevents leaks that can reduce drying/cooling efficiency or cause longer cycles
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by a loose or broken duct
• Common symptom: reduced airflow, longer cycle times, or unusual noise during operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Inspect surrounding seals and mounting tabs; replace any damaged hardware
• Basic hand tools required; handle carefully to avoid cracking plastic tabs

This replacement tube assembly routes water inside the refrigerator to the ice maker and/or dispenser, restoring reliable water flow and helping stop leaks or filling issues. Simple, direct replacement when the original tube is cracked, clogged, or misrouted. What it does:

• Carries water from the household supply through the refrigerator to the ice maker or dispenser
• Replaces cracked, split, or collapsed tubing that can cause leaks
• Restores proper water flow when the ice maker won't fill or the dispenser has reduced/no flow
• Helps prevent internal freezing or blockages when the tube is properly routed

• One tube assembly as shown

• Turn off the water supply and unplug the refrigerator before starting any work
• Remove shelving/panels as needed for access; keep track of clips and fasteners
• Inspect and replace any worn push-to-connect fittings, gaskets, or clamps when present
• Test for leaks after restoring power and water; tighten connections as required
