This compressor overload protects the refrigerator's compressor by interrupting power when it overheats or draws excessive current. Replacing a weak or failed overload can stop repeated click/no-start symptoms and help restore normal cooling performance.

• Opens the circuit to protect the compressor during overheat or over-current conditions
• Automatically resets after cooling to prevent sustained damage
• Symptoms include: compressor won't start, rapid clicking from the compressor area, starts then stops, and a warm refrigerator/freezer
• Helps prevent motor and wiring damage caused by repeated overload events

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate PPE
• Access the rear machine compartment and remove the compressor/start device cover
• Note wire positions; pull the old overload straight off the compressor terminal and push the new one on fully seated; reconnect wiring and covers
• If the overload trips again after replacement, further diagnosis of the start relay, run capacitor, or compressor may be required

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.

This electronic board powers and controls the light at the refrigerator's water/ice dispenser. Replacing it restores reliable illumination and proper on/off operation so you can clearly see the dispenser area during everyday use.

• Supplies regulated power to the dispenser light circuit for consistent brightness
• Responds to dispenser/control inputs to turn the light on and off
• A failing board can cause flickering or dim lighting
• Common symptoms include no dispenser light, intermittent light, or a light that stays on

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the board behind the dispenser panel/escutcheon; remove trim carefully to avoid damage
• Handle the board by the edges and avoid static discharge; ensure connectors are fully seated

This lid bumper cushions your washer lid where it meets the top panel, softening closure and protecting the finish. Replacing worn or missing bumpers reduces slamming and rattles for a quieter, smoother close.

• Cushions contact between the lid and top panel to reduce slamming noise
• Protects painted/enamel surfaces from chips and scratches at contact points
• Helps the lid sit level and minimizes vibration or rattling
• Replace if the bumper is missing, cracked, flattened, or hardened

• Disconnect power to the washer before servicing.
• Open the lid and locate the bumper(s) at the front corners (on the lid underside or top panel lip).
• Pull the old bumper straight out; clean the mounting hole.
• Press the new bumper firmly into the hole until fully seated and flush; test lid closure.

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 dispenser funnel guides cubes or crushed ice from the door chute into your glass. Replacing a cracked or missing funnel restores clean, targeted dispensing and helps reduce stray ice around the dispenser area.
