This freezer light shield is the clear lens that covers the freezer-compartment light. It protects the light assembly and diffuses illumination so you can see contents clearly while keeping food items from contacting the light area.

• Covers and protects the freezer light assembly; also called a light lens or light cover
• Diffuses light for more even, comfortable illumination
• Replace if the original lens is cracked, yellowed, warped, missing, or won't stay attached
• Typical symptoms: broken/missing lens, exposed light, glare or dark spots, damaged retaining tabs

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow any lamp to cool
• Open the freezer and support the lens while releasing tabs or removing the retainer (as applicable)
• Align the new shield and secure it without forcing the tabs
• Restore power and proper fit and illumination

This evaporator fan bracket secures the evaporator fan assembly behind the rear panel. A rigid, correct-fit mount preserves blade clearance and airflow across the evaporator coils for steady temperatures while minimizing vibration and noise.

• Holds the evaporator fan assembly firmly in position
• Maintains alignment and clearance to prevent fan rubbing and excess noise
• Supports proper airflow through the evaporator compartment for consistent cooling
• Replace if the bracket is cracked, warped, or loose; symptoms may include rattling, scraping sounds, or the fan contacting the shroud

• Disconnect power before servicing and use cut-resistant gloves
• Remove shelves/drawers and the rear evaporator cover to access the fan assembly
• Transfer the fan motor and existing hardware to the new bracket; ensure the blade spins freely without contact
• Avoid damaging the evaporator coils; reassemble panels and restore power to test

This bottom hinge pin supports and serves as the pivot for the refrigerator door. An accurate, tight-fitting hinge pin helps the door swing smoothly and seal properly to maintain temperature and reduce wear.

• Serves as the lower pivot point for the door on the bottom hinge
• Helps keep the door aligned for proper closing and gasket contact
• Replacing a worn pin can improve door movement and reduce stress on the hinge

• Unplug the appliance before servicing
• Support the door to relieve weight from the hinge before removing hardware
• Transfer any spacers/shims in their original order to maintain alignment
• Tighten fasteners securely and check door swing and seal after installation

This air diverter is a duct component that directs and balances airflow inside the refrigerator. Replacing a cracked or missing diverter helps restore proper cooling performance and reduce frost or condensation around air passages.

• Guides cold air from the evaporator through the intended duct path
• Helps maintain even temperatures between compartments
• Improves airflow seal and direction to reduce warm-air bypass
• Common symptoms: uneven cooling, weak airflow, frost/condensation near ducts, or visible damage to the diverter

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove shelves/drawers and the interior panel to access the diverter per your model's service information
• Note orientation and transfer any reusable screws/clips
• Do not overtighten fasteners into plastic; confirm unobstructed airflow before restoring power

Fresh food side. For the same part in black, purchase WR11X10009.

Freezer side.

This lever links the dispenser actuator/solenoid to the recess (chute) door in your refrigerator dispenser. It opens the flap during dispensing and helps it close afterward to maintain a proper seal and reduce frost and moisture.

• Couples the solenoid/actuator to the dispenser recess door flapper
• Opens the chute door for dispensing; returns it closed when released
• Helps maintain an air seal at the dispenser to limit warm-air leaks
• Common symptoms of a worn or broken crank: chute door won't open/close, frost or condensation around the dispenser, poor sealing

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the dispenser trim/panel to access the recess-door mechanism
• Note spring/linkage positions and transfer them to the new crank
• Verify smooth movement and proper door seal before reassembly, then restore power and test

Includes 12 retainer rings.

This light shield is the protective lens that covers the interior lamp in your refrigerator, diffusing glare and shielding the bulb from bumps. Replace a cracked or missing cover to restore clean, even illumination.

• Covers and protects the interior light assembly from impact
• Diffuses light for softer, more even brightness inside the compartment
• Helps prevent food and hands from contacting the bulb/LED area
• Common signs of failure: cracked or yellowed lens, broken tabs, cover won't stay in place, missing shield

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Release the existing shield's retaining tabs or screws; align and snap/screw the new shield into place
• Handle carefully to avoid breaking tabs; allow cold plastic to warm to room temperature before installation
• Use the bulb type and wattage specified by the manufacturer to prevent heat damage

This cable clamp secures refrigerator wiring to the cabinet, keeping harnesses organized and protected. Replacing a missing or damaged clamp helps prevent chafing and vibration noise while maintaining proper clearance from fans and other moving components.

• Anchors wire harnesses in their designed routing
• Helps prevent insulation wear from rubbing or vibration
• Keeps wires clear of sharp edges and moving parts
• Common signs it's needed: missing/broken clamp, loose or dangling wires, or new rattling/buzzing noises

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the clamp location and note original wire routing
• Position the clamp and secure with the existing fastener; do not overtighten
• Ensure wires aren't pinched and have clearance from the fan/compressor before restoring power

This solenoid saddle is a small mounting bracket that secures a refrigerator solenoid in the correct position. By preventing movement and misalignment, it helps the linked mechanism engage smoothly and consistently.

• Secures the solenoid to its housing or frame to prevent shifting
• Maintains proper alignment for reliable actuation
• A worn or broken saddle can cause buzzing/chattering and intermittent operation
• Restores stable mounting to help the connected mechanism work correctly

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if working near water lines
• Access the solenoid assembly and note the original saddle's orientation
• Transfer the solenoid into the new saddle and reuse existing fasteners/clips
• Smooth operation before reassembling panels

Specs: 8-18 AB IHW 5/8 S

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
