This display case is the molded housing for the refrigerator's control panel. It supports and aligns the user interface components and trim, restoring a secure, finished fit when the original case is cracked, broken, or out of shape.

• Positions and supports the display/selector board and buttons in the panel opening
• Provides mounting points for panel trim and fasteners
• Helps shield internal components from dust and incidental moisture
• Common signs it's needed: cracked or broken plastic, missing tabs, loose or misaligned control panel

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the panel/trim per your model's procedure; note screw and clip locations
• Carefully handle the user interface board and wiring; avoid static discharge and pinched harnesses
• Transfer any brackets or clips from the old case to the new one, then reassemble and test

This sheathed defrost heater mounts at the evaporator and melts frost during the automatic defrost cycle to restore airflow and stable temperatures. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent ice-clogged coils, warm spots, and noisy fan interference.

• Melts frost from the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to maintain proper airflow
• Symptoms of failure: persistent ice on the back panel, weak cooling, or the evaporator fan striking ice
• A failed heater can cause long run times and temperature swings
• Replace if the element tests open/short or shows visible damage

• Disconnect power before service; allow components to warm to reduce risk of cracking brittle plastics
• Remove shelves and the evaporator cover; carefully defrost ice—do not chip or pry against the fins
• Transfer original clips/insulators if present; route wires as original and make firm electrical connections
• After reassembly, ensure the drain area is clear and the fan spins freely

This is the ice bucket that stores ice dispensed by your refrigerator's ice maker. A cracked, warped, or stuck bin can jam the auger or spill ice, leading to poor dispensing and messy freezers.

• Holds and dispenses harvested ice from the ice maker to the door chute or bin access
• Common failure signs: cracked bucket, ice not dispensing, auger not turning, ice clumping or spilling
• Restores smooth ice dispensing and proper storage in the freezer
• Built to fit the original mounting and drive interface for an easy swap

• Unplug the refrigerator and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove the old bin carefully; thaw any ice buildup before transferring
• Inspect the auger drive coupling for wear before installing the new bucket
• Seat the bucket fully so the drive engages; test dispense with a small amount of ice

This connector secures and transmits motion between the drawer drive and the sliding assembly, restoring smooth drawer movement and alignment. It's a direct-fit replacement that helps fix sticking, slipping, or non-moving drawers. What it does:

• Couples the drawer drive mechanism to the sliding gear, allowing the drawer to open and close reliably
• Replaces worn or broken connector teeth or mounts that cause skipping or jammed operation
• Helps correct uneven or noisy drawer movement caused by damaged linkage
• Restores proper engagement so the drawer responds to normal open/close controls

• One connector as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding gears, tracks, and mounting points; replace any damaged parts for best results
• Basic hand tools are typically required; handle plastic gears carefully to avoid further damage

This replacement cover is an exterior access panel that protects internal components and restores the appliance's finished appearance. It keeps wiring and mechanisms enclosed while maintaining the cabinet's original look. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal components from dust, spills, and accidental contact
• Restores the appliance's cosmetic appearance when the original cover is cracked, chipped, or missing
• Helps maintain proper airflow routing and component spacing behind the panel
• Prevents small objects from entering service areas that could cause damage

• One replacement cover

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Remove fasteners or release retaining clips holding the old cover; keep hardware if re-using
• Align the new cover carefully and secure with the original screws or clips; do not force into place
• If clips or mount points are damaged, replace them before finishing installation

This cover cap is a small plastic trim piece that protects exposed fasteners and improves the appliance's appearance. It snaps into place to hide mounting posts and help prevent snags or debris buildup. What it does:

• Covers and protects exposed screws, posts, or fasteners for a finished look
• Prevents lint, dust, and debris from collecting around the mounting point
• Reduces the chance of fabric snags or contact with sharp edges
• Restores worn or missing trim for improved cosmetics

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service that exposes electrical components
• Usually installs by snapping over the post or press-fitting into the trim opening — no special tools required
• If needed, remove adjacent trim pieces to gain access, then reinstall trim in reverse order
• Inspect surrounding mounting hardware for damage and replace if necessary

This reflector lamp is the interior light housing that helps direct and diffuse the refrigerator/freezer bulb for brighter, more usable interior illumination. Replaces a cracked, discolored, or missing reflector to restore even light inside the compartment. What it does:

• Reflects and directs the interior lamp's light to improve visibility inside the compartment
• Covers and protects the light bulb and lamp socket from splashes and debris
• Helps reduce hot spots and uneven lighting caused by a damaged reflector
• Common symptom: interior light is dim, uneven, flickering, or reflector is cracked/discolored

• One reflector lamp housing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Typically secures with a few screws or snap tabs; use appropriate screwdriver and keep fasteners
• Handle carefully to avoid cracking the plastic; check the bulb and socket when replacing the reflector
• Test the light after reassembly and restore power only when the housing is properly installed

This motor bracket is the OEM-style mounting bracket that secures the appliance motor to the cabinet, keeping the motor aligned and reducing vibration for reliable operation. It helps restore proper motor support and stable running. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point to hold the motor in correct position
• Maintains motor alignment to prevent belt slip and uneven wear
• Reduces vibration and noise caused by a loose or damaged motor mount
• Can resolve symptoms such as unusual motor noise, excessive vibration, or motor movement during operation

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair
• Basic hand tools are typically required; follow the appliance service manual for access steps
• Inspect surrounding components (mounting fasteners, motor and belts) and replace any damaged parts
