This refrigerator fan motor drives the fan that circulates air through the cooling system, helping maintain even temperatures. Replacing a worn or noisy motor can restore proper airflow and cooling performance.

• Spins the fan blade to move air across coils and through the appliance's airflow passages
• Helps maintain set temperatures and consistent cooling throughout the unit
• Common failure signs: fan not running, intermittent/slow operation, loud humming, grinding, or squealing
• Symptoms include weak airflow, poor cooling, warm spots, or the compressor running longer than normal

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access location varies by model; note wire positions and hardware
• Transfer the existing fan blade and mounting hardware if required by your model
• Ensure the fan spins freely and wires are routed clear of the blade before restoring power

This condenser fan shroud sits in the rear machine compartment and positions the fan and motor to move air through the condenser coil. A cracked or warped shroud can reduce cooling performance and increase noise or vibration.

• Directs and focuses airflow across the condenser coil and compressor to remove heat
• Holds the condenser fan motor and blade in proper alignment
• Helps maintain stable refrigerator/freezer temperatures and efficient operation
• When damaged, may cause weak airflow, warmer temps, vibration, or fan scraping/rubbing noises at the back of the unit

• Unplug the refrigerator and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Pull the unit forward and remove the lower rear access panel to reach the machine compartment
• Take a photo of fan/motor orientation; transfer components to the new shroud and reuse existing hardware
• Confirm blade spins freely with proper clearance before restoring power

• Creates a low-friction bearing surface between the hinge and door
• Helps set and maintain correct door height and gap on the hinge pin
• Can reduce squeaks and prevent rubbing or poor closing caused by a worn/missing spacer
• Replace if cracked, deformed, worn flat, or lost during service

• 1 hinge spacer

• Disconnect power and support the door before servicing hinge components
• Remove hinge cover and fasteners; lift the door off the hinge pin per your model's instructions
• Install the spacer on the hinge pin or into the hinge as oriented for your model
• Reinstall and align the door; verify even gasket contact all around

This drain trough directs defrost water from the evaporator to the refrigerator drain, helping prevent pooling, leaks and ice build-up in the fresh-food compartment. A correct trough keeps defrost water flowing and reduces odors or floor damage. What it does:

• Channels defrost/condensate water from the evaporator to the drain system
• Prevents water pooling under shelves or in the crisper area
• Reduces ice buildup and attendant leaks when the drain path is clear
• Replace if cracked, warped, or if water is collecting where it shouldn't

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Remove interior shelves/drawers as needed to access the trough
• Clean the drain channel and clear any debris before installing the new trough
• Make sure the trough is fully seated and aligned so water drains properly; follow OEM fastener/placement points

A wiring harness that routes power and signals between a refrigerator's internal electrical components, helping lights, controls, fans and motors operate correctly. Replacing a damaged harness restores reliable electrical connectivity and reduces risk of intermittent faults. What it does:

• Routes power and signal connections between the control board, lights, motors, sensors and other internal components.
• Common visible issues include frayed insulation, broken or loose connectors, or heat damage at terminals.
• Replacing a faulty harness helps eliminate wiring-related faults that can cause component failures or safety concerns.

• Always disconnect power (unplug appliance or shut off circuit breaker) before inspecting or replacing the harness.
• Match connector shapes and pin counts; route the harness along the original path and avoid tight bends or pinch points.
• Secure with the existing clips or ties; replace damaged clips or protective insulation as needed.

Here is a replacement shelf support grommet that is used in freezers and refrigerators. The grommets are used to provide stability for the shelves in the refrigerator. If they are broken or missing, the shelves will not sit correctly, and owners won't be able to put anything onto the shelves. A replacement grommet should slide into place, but may need to be gently tapped to ensure a proper seal is made.The shelf support grommet is for use with certain refrigerator models from Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, and Crosley. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that was sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is important to note that the grommets are sold individually. If more than one is needed, owners will need to order multiple.

Color: White. Used for the upper hinge holes.
