This encoder board assembly interprets user input from the range/oven control console and sends the correct signals to the appliance control system, restoring reliable button/knob response and control selection behavior. What it does:

• Converts knob/button movements into electronic signals the main control can read
• Helps ensure accurate selection of temperature, modes and timers
• Common symptom: controls are unresponsive or selections don't register
• Common symptom: erratic or intermittent control behavior when using the console

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting any work
• Handle the board carefully and avoid static discharge; ground yourself or use an anti-static strap
• Keep track of screws and mounting hardware; label harnesses or take photos before disconnecting
• Reconnect harnesses fully and test function before reassembling the console

This 10-18 Hi/Lo hex-washer screw is a direct-use replacement fastener for appliance panels, brackets and components. It restores secure mounting and helps stop loose trim, rattling or parts that shift during use. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim pieces, mounting brackets and similar components that use a 10-18 thread with a hex-washer head
• Restores proper fit where screws are missing, stripped, or corroded
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration noise, and misaligned parts caused by loose fasteners
• Matches OEM head and thread style for a correct mechanical fit in specified locations

• Turn power or gas to the appliance off before working on electrical or gas-equipped units; unplug when applicable
• Use the correct sized hex driver or socket to avoid rounding the head
• Tighten until snug—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or damaging thin sheet metal
• If replacing multiple fasteners in a load-bearing area, replace all to ensure even fit and alignment

This condenser fan mounting bracket secures the condenser fan motor and blade in the correct position to move air across the coils. Replacing a cracked or bent bracket restores stable mounting, reduces vibration, and helps maintain proper condenser airflow.

• Holds the condenser fan motor/blade assembly in alignment for proper airflow through the condenser
• Maintains clearance to prevent the fan blade from rubbing or contacting nearby components
• Helps reduce rattling, vibration, or scraping noises from the rear of the refrigerator
• Damage or misalignment can contribute to restricted condenser airflow and warmer temperatures

• Disconnect power and pull the refrigerator away from the wall to access the rear service area
• Remove the rear lower access panel; note wiring and hardware locations
• Support the fan motor/blade while removing the old bracket; transfer motor, blade, grommets, and screws to the new bracket
• The fan spins freely with proper clearance and correct airflow direction before reassembly

This condenser assembly is the condenser coil used in compatible refrigerators to release heat from the refrigerant so the appliance can cool efficiently. Replacing a damaged coil helps restore proper cooling performance and energy use. What it does:

• Circulates refrigerant through the condenser coil to dissipate heat from the refrigeration system
• Supports normal compressor cycling and helps maintain steady internal temperatures
• Common symptom fixes: reduces long run times, improves inadequate or uneven cooling, and addresses overheating or noisy compressor operation
• Works with the condenser fan and other sealed-system components to complete the heat-exchange process

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Access commonly from the rear lower panel or front grille; may require removal of kick plate or back cover
• Avoid damaging the coil fins; handle carefully and use fin comb if needed

This top-closed thimble is a small protective plug that presses into a cabinet opening to cap and finish the hole, helping prevent abrasion and limiting air or moisture leaks for reliable appliance performance.

• Caps and seals an unused hole/opening in the liner or cabinet
• Shields edges to help protect nearby wiring or tubing from chafing
• Helps reduce drafts and moisture migration that can contribute to frost, condensation, or temperature swings
• Replace if cracked, brittle, loose, missing, or if you notice gaps or rubbing noises

• Disconnect power; if applicable, turn off the water supply
• Access the opening, remove the old thimble/plug, and clean the area
• Align and press the new thimble into the hole until fully seated and flush; avoid pinching wires or tubing
• Restore power/water and verify a snug fit

This spacer is a small mounting support used to maintain proper clearance and alignment between refrigerator panels, doors, or components. It helps reduce rubbing, vibration, and noise by restoring correct spacing and fit. What it does:

• Keeps panels, trim, or components spaced correctly to prevent metal-on-metal contact and wear
• Helps align doors and panels for a flush fit and smoother operation
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by misaligned parts
• Used wherever a fixed clearance or gap is required during reassembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service that requires panel or component removal
• Inspect mating surfaces for damage or debris before installing the spacer; replace any damaged fasteners
• Install in the same orientation and location as the original spacer; do not overtighten mounting hardware

8-18 hi/lo 5/8

This is the dispenser ice bucket that holds and delivers ice from the freezer to the dispenser chute, restoring reliable ice storage and delivery for compatible refrigerators. Durable molded design helps contain and release cubes cleanly. What it does:

• Holds ice produced by the icemaker so cubes can move to the dispenser
• Guides ice toward the dispenser chute for consistent delivery
• Helps prevent ice from spilling into the freezer compartment
• Worn, cracked, or warped buckets can cause jams or poor dispensing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing to avoid injury
• Remove existing ice and any obstructions before installing the new bucket
• Align bucket tabs/slots with tracks in the freezer dispenser area and slide into place until seated
• If ice jams or dispensing issues persist after installation, also inspect the auger/drive components and icemaker

This right-side glide bucket replaces the refrigerator door/bin glide that holds and organizes items while sliding smoothly. Restores proper storage and secure positioning on the door rail for everyday use. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, broken or worn right-side glide bucket so items stay contained on the door
• Restores smooth sliding action on the door rail for easy access to stored items
• Prevents items from tipping or falling when opening or closing the door
• Matches the OEM shape for proper fit and alignment with the existing rail

• One right-side glide bucket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before performing service as a safety precaution
• Remove items from the door and gently lift/slide out the old bucket per manufacturer guidance
• Inspect door rail and attachment points for damage; replace damaged clips or rails as needed
• Handle carefully to avoid snapping mounting tabs during installation

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

This tube clamp secures flexible water tubing to its fitting in refrigerators. It helps maintain a tight seal to prevent leaks and keeps lines from slipping off under normal operating pressure.

• Holds plastic or rubber tubing firmly on a barbed fitting or nipple
• Helps prevent drips and leaks at tube connection points
• Addresses loose or disconnected water lines
• Useful when tubing slips off or won't stay seated

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Position the clamp over the tube and fitting; compress with pliers and release to lock in place
• Ensure the clamp is centered and fully seated; tug-test the tube
• Restore water and power; check all connections for leaks

This condenser fan shroud directs cooling airflow across the condenser and keeps the condenser fan and motor securely positioned for reliable cooling performance. It helps maintain proper condenser airflow and protects fan components from contact. What it does:

• Guides airflow from the condenser fan to improve heat dissipation
