This replacement ejector is the plastic arm that pushes harvested ice cubes out of the ice mold and into the storage bin, helping restore proper ice ejection and reduce ice that sticks inside the tray. What it does:

• Pushes ice cubes out of the ice mold during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Works with the ice maker's motor/gear assembly to advance cubes into the bin.
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken ejector arms that can leave ice stuck in the mold.
• Can help address symptoms such as cubes that don't eject, partial fills, or frequent ice jams.

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing to prevent electrical shock.
• Remove the ice bin and follow the OEM ice maker removal steps to access the ejector.
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid cracking; inspect gears, mounts, and the ice tray for related wear.

This rubber grommet provides a tidy, protective seal where hoses, wires, or shafts pass through the appliance cabinet—helping prevent chafing, reduce vibration noise, and maintain proper sealing around openings. What it does:

• Cushions and protects wiring or hoses from rubbing against metal edges
• Helps maintain a seal to reduce water or air bypass where fitted
• Dampens vibration and reduces related noise at the penetration point
• Keeps openings finished and helps prevent further component wear

• Disconnect power (and water for washers) before starting any repair
• Inspect the mounting area for sharp edges or damage; replace if surrounding parts are compromised
• Push the grommet into the opening and seat evenly; do not stretch excessively

This screw secures panels and internal components to restore proper alignment and reduce vibration or rattling from loose or missing fasteners. Replace stripped or lost screws to keep assemblies stable and help maintain normal appliance operation. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, and internal parts to prevent movement and vibration
• Helps stop rattling or noise caused by loose or missing fasteners
• Restores proper fit and alignment of assemblies after repair
• Used wherever the appliance design calls for this specific screw to secure parts

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or switch off circuit) before accessing internal components
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Install by hand first, then tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent thread or part damage
• Keep track of small fasteners and replace any that are damaged or corroded

Replacement 36" refrigerator door gasket that restores a tight seal to keep cold air in and help maintain consistent cooling. Replaces worn or damaged seals to reduce frost, condensation and inefficient cooling. What it does:

• Seals the door perimeter to prevent cold air leakage and reduce warm-air intrusion.
• Helps stop frost build-up and interior condensation caused by a failing seal.
• Helps the refrigerator maintain even temperatures and can reduce extra run-time from poor seals.
• Common signs you need this part: visible gaps, tears, hard or misshapen gasket, or icing around the door.

• Remove the old gasket and clean the door channel before installing the new seal; press the new gasket into the track starting at a corner and work around the door.
• If the gasket is stiff, warming it briefly (e.g., warm water or room temperature exposure) can improve flexibility for installation.
• Safety first: unplug or disconnect power if you must remove the door or work near electrical components. Avoid sharp tools that could damage the new seal and check the door for a complete seal after installation.

A thermistor assembly that measures refrigerator temperature and sends that data to the control board so the appliance can regulate cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature control. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and converts it to a signal the control board uses to adjust cooling.
• Helps regulate compressor, evaporator, and defrost cycles when operating correctly.
• Common symptom: erratic or incorrect refrigerator/freezer temperatures.
• Common symptom: cooling failure, long run times, or temperature-related error codes.

• Disconnect power before accessing or replacing the thermistor to avoid shock.
• Handle the sensor element and wiring gently; avoid pinching or crimping the leads.
• Install in the same location and orientation shown in the OEM diagram for reliable readings.

This spring-style tube clamp secures flexible tubing to fittings, helping prevent leaks and maintain proper flow. It's a simple replacement that restores a firm seal on water or drain lines. What it does:

• Keeps flexible tubing firmly clamped to barbed or nipple fittings
• Helps stop or reduce leaks from loose or corroded connections
• Prevents tubing from slipping off under pressure or vibration
• Useful where a compact, spring-action clamp is required

• Disconnect power and shut off water to the appliance before replacing parts
• Use pliers to expand the clamp, position it over the tube/fitting, then release to secure
• Inspect connected tubing and fittings for damage; replace if cracked or severely corroded

This screw secures appliance panels and small components, restoring proper fit and reducing vibration or rattling. It's a direct-replacement fastener sold individually. What it does
