This Evaporator Bottom Bracket secures the lower edge of the evaporator assembly inside your refrigerator, keeping components properly aligned. Replace a cracked or missing bracket to restore a solid mount and help prevent looseness or rattling.

• Supports and stabilizes the bottom of the evaporator assembly
• Helps keep panels/components aligned to reduce vibration and noise
• Restores proper seating of the evaporator area after damage or wear
• Typical signs: broken or missing bracket, loose or rattling panel that won't stay seated

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove shelves/bins and the evaporator cover to access the bracket
• Reuse existing screws/fasteners; match the original bracket orientation
• After reassembly, ensure panels are fully seated and clear of the fan/coil

This PTCR is the PTC start relay for the refrigerator's compressor. It briefly energizes the start winding to get the compressor running, then opens as it warms, supporting reliable starts and helping protect the compressor from repeated restarts.

• Provides initial current to the compressor start winding, then self-limits as temperature rises
• Supports consistent compressor startup to restore and maintain cooling
• Typical failure symptoms: compressor clicks or hums but won't start; refrigerator warm or not cooling
• Visible signs may include discoloration or heat damage at the relay or connector

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow sealed-system components to cool
• Note the relay's orientation; firmly seat it on the compressor terminals
• Inspect the overload protector and wiring; replace any heat-damaged components
• If the compressor still won't start, further diagnosis of the compressor, overload, and capacitor is recommended

This small guide sits at the icemaker fill area and manages the water stream. It directs incoming water into the fill cup and channels any excess safely away to help prevent splashing, leaks, and ice buildup inside the freezer.

• Guides the icemaker fill stream into the fill cup/funnel during the fill cycle
• Diverts stray or excess water to the overflow path to reduce spills
• Helps prevent leaks, sheets of ice, and clumped cubes under the icemaker
• Clues it may be needed: cracked, warped, or missing guide; water dripping from the fill area

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove ice bin and any covers to access the icemaker fill area
• Unclip/unscrew the old diverter; align and secure the new part to the fill cup/tube
• Restore water and power; run a test fill and check for leaks

This bottom door hinge supports the refrigerator door and serves as the pivot point for smooth opening and closing. Replacing a worn hinge restores proper alignment and sealing to help prevent door sagging and cooling loss. What it does:

• Supports the door's weight at the lower corner and maintains alignment
• Provides the pivot for opening/closing and reduces friction at the door base
• Wear can cause door sagging, rubbing/binding, or the door not closing fully
• Misalignment may lead to poor gasket contact, warm spots, or condensation/frost near the door

• 1 bottom door hinge

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before starting
• Remove items from the door and have a helper support it during removal
• Remove the upper hinge to lift the door off the lower hinge; retain any shims/spacers
• Swap the hinge, transfer shims as found, align the door, tighten fasteners, and verify the gasket seals all around

This refrigerator meat pan front cover forms the visible front edge of the deli/meat drawer assembly, helping contain items and providing a clean finished look so the drawer opens and closes smoothly.

• If cracked, loose, or missing, the drawer may not slide or seal properly
• Cosmetic damage or broken tabs are common signs this part needs replacement

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the deli/meat drawer to access the cover area
• Handle any glass in the shelf assembly carefully to avoid breakage
• Align tabs and snap/slide the new cover into place without forcing

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

• 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

This ice maker fill cup directs water from the refrigerator fill tube into the ice maker mold so each cycle fills correctly. Replacing a damaged cup restores consistent ice production and helps prevent water spills. What it does:

• Channels water from the fill tube into the ice maker mold for proper tray filling.
• Prevents water from dripping into the freezer compartment when intact.
• A cracked, warped, or missing fill cup can cause underfilled ice cubes, overflowing molds, or water pooling in the freezer.
• Compatible with common top/front-mounted household ice makers that use a separate plastic fill cup.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting work.
• Remove the ice bin or ice maker assembly as needed to access the fill cup.
• The cup typically snaps or slides into place; use gentle pressure and avoid forcing plastic tabs.
