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

A replacement bearing that supports the dryer drum and restores smoother, quieter rotation. Replaces a worn or damaged bearing to help reduce noise and prevent excess drum play. What it does

• Provides a low-friction mounting point for the drum shaft to rotate smoothly
• Keeps the drum aligned and reduces wobble during operation
• Helps prevent metal-on-metal contact that causes grinding or rumbling noises
• Can reduce strain on the motor and belt by restoring proper drum support

• Disconnect power before beginning any disassembly
• Replacement typically requires removing panels and the drum;
• Inspect surrounding seals, shafts, and mounting hardware and replace if worn

This genuine replacement screw secures appliance panels and components so assemblies stay tight and stable. It's a simple, direct fix when a missing or damaged screw causes loose trim, rattling, or misaligned parts. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and trim to restore proper alignment and stability
• Stops rattling or vibration caused by loose hardware
• Replaces stripped or corroded screws to ensure secure connections
• Works wherever the OEM screw is specified in the appliance

• Use the matching driver and proper torque to avoid stripping the head or threads
• Replace only with the exact OEM screw to maintain fit and function
• Disconnect power before accessing internal components; follow appliance safety instructions
• Replace all like-for-like for best results

This kickplate is the low-profile lower access panel that finishes the appliance's exterior and protects internal components behind the toe area. It restores the cabinet look and helps keep dust and debris out of the base compartment. What it does:

• Covers and protects the appliance's toe/kick area and internal components
• Provides a finished, flush appearance at the base of the appliance
• Prevents debris entry that can affect vents or components behind the panel
• Stops drafts and reduces visible gaps under the appliance
• Replaces bent, cracked or missing kickplates that cause cosmetic or fit issues

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service when access to internal areas is required
• Typically installs with clips or screws—align tabs, engage clips, then secure fasteners
• Avoid forcing or bending the panel; verify clip locations before tightening
• If mounting hardware is missing or damaged, replace with manufacturer-specified fasteners
