Gehtw240ask6ws Parts

A flat metal washer used to secure fasteners and distribute load on a washer's assemblies. Replaces worn or missing washers to help maintain proper alignment and reduce metal-on-metal wear. What it does:

• Sits under a nut or bolt head to spread clamping force and protect mating surfaces
• Helps keep fasteners tight and resists loosening from vibration
• Prevents wear and damage to softer components where hardware clamps
• Common symptom: loose or missing washer causing rattling, vibration, or misaligned parts

• One flat metal washer

• Disconnect power and water supply to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use appropriate hand tools; avoid excessive torque that can deform the washer
• Inspect adjacent fasteners and replace any damaged hardware

This compressor overload protector helps shut off a refrigerator compressor when electrical overload or heat risks occur, protecting the compressor from damage and keeping the cooling system more reliable. What it does:

• Interrupts compressor current during overheating or electrical overload to prevent motor damage.
• Works with the compressor start device/relay to allow proper motor start and run behavior.
• Common symptom linkage: refrigerator not cooling and compressor runs hot, hums, or cycles rapidly.
• Common symptom linkage: compressor will not start but attempts to run or clicks.

• One compressor overload protector.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the overload; follow all safety precautions.
• Handle terminals gently and install in the same orientation; ensure secure electrical connections and proper seating on the compressor.
• If the compressor or start relay shows other damage, inspect the entire start device assembly and wiring; replace any damaged components before restoring power.
