This electronic controller board manages key refrigeration functions and defrost routines so your appliance maintains proper temperatures. Replacing a failed board can restore automatic operation when cooling becomes erratic or frost buildup starts affecting performance.

• Governs programmed cooling and defrost cycles to help prevent frost accumulation and temperature swings
• Sends power to components per the control program, enabling fans, compressor, and heaters to run at the right time
• Typical failure signs: heavy frost on the evaporator, warm or no-cool conditions, nonstop running or short cycling, unresponsive controls
• May show visible damage such as burnt spots or a burnt odor on the board

• Disconnect power before servicing; use ESD protection and handle the board by the edges
• Access location varies by model; photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time to the new board
• Mount securely and ensure all harnesses are fully seated; avoid pinching wires during reassembly
• If frost was present, fully defrost the evaporator after installation and allow temperatures to stabilize after restoring power

This evaporator fan cover protects and directs airflow around the evaporator fan to help maintain proper cooling and reduce fan noise. Replacing a damaged cover restores airflow and helps prevent fan interference from ice or debris. What it does:

• Channels cold air from the evaporator across the compartments for more even cooling.
• Shields the evaporator fan from ice buildup, frost, and loose insulation that can block airflow.
• Prevents fan blade contact with debris or wiring that can cause scraping, rattling, or excessive noise.
• Common symptoms: poor or uneven cooling, loud/scraping fan noise, visible cracks or broken mounts on the cover.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove the freezer/refrigerator access panel and any shelves; handle sharp sheet metal carefully.
• Inspect the fan blade and motor while the cover is off; clear any ice or debris and ensure the fan turns freely before reassembly.
• Ensure the replacement cover seats securely and any mounting tabs align to restore proper airflow direction.

This temperature control knob replaces a worn or broken fridge temperature dial so you can set the refrigerator temperature accurately. It restores a solid grip and clear pointer for reliable, easy adjustments. What it does:

• Fits onto the temperature control shaft to select colder or warmer settings
• Provides a clear pointer for precise temperature selection
• Replaces cracked, stripped, or missing knobs that make adjustments difficult
• Helps eliminate loose or slipping knob operation

• One temperature control knob

• Push-fit installation onto the control shaft; no special tools typically required
• Ensure power is off and remove food before working in the appliance for safety
• Inspect the control shaft for damage; replace the control if the shaft is stripped

This replacement outer cover restores the appliance's exterior appearance and protects underlying components from dirt and damage. It provides a clean finished look where the original cover is cracked, warped, or missing. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal parts behind the trim area
• Restores the appliance's finished appearance after damage or wear
• Helps prevent dirt and debris from reaching internal components
• Matches the original shape for a secure fit and proper alignment

• One outer cover

• Designed to snap or fasten into existing mounting points; reuse original screws or clips unless damaged
• Turn off power to the appliance before attempting removal or installation to avoid injury
• Inspect adjacent trim and fasteners; replace any broken clips to ensure a secure fit

Color: White

This foam insulation block helps fill gaps and reduce heat transfer inside the refrigerator cabinet to maintain proper cooling and reduce frost/condensation. It restores the designed insulation barrier where the original piece is damaged or missing. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or missing foam block that seals internal gaps in the cabinet or behind panels
• Helps prevent warm air infiltration that can cause poor cooling or excess frost
• Reduces condensation and moisture buildup around the evaporator area or panel seams
• Supports consistent temperature performance by restoring insulation continuity

• One foam insulation block

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access location may require removing interior panels or shelves; handle panels and clips carefully
• Install in the exact position and orientation of the original part; use any existing adhesive or fasteners as required
• If adhesive is needed, use only appliance-safe adhesives compatible with foam and follow manufacturer guidance
