• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel; avoid damaging fins or refrigerant lines
• Secure the heater and route wires exactly as original, keeping them clear of the fan and sharp edges
• Restore power and verify the defrost cycle per the service procedure

This refrigerator door closer restores smooth, positive door action. When worn, the door can click, bind, or swing open. Replacing it helps the door seal properly to maintain temperatures and limit frost or moisture.

• Provides cam action at the bottom hinge for smooth opening and a positive close
• Helps pull the door shut during the last inches of travel to maintain gasket contact
• Typical wear symptoms: popping/clicking at the lower hinge, door that won't stay closed, or poor sealing
• Visual clues include flat spots, grooves, or cracks on the cam surface

• Disconnect power and remove items from the door for safety and to reduce weight
• Lift the door off the bottom hinge; transfer/install the closer in the same orientation as the original
• Reassemble, then verify the door self-closes and the gasket seals evenly
• Use care not to pinch or distort the door gasket during reinstallation

This black refrigerator toe grille covers the lower front opening, protecting internal components and helping guide airflow through the condenser while giving the appliance a clean, finished look. Replace a cracked or missing grille to restore fit and appearance.
