This small replacement bumper cushions contact points to reduce noise, prevent wear, and help doors or panels close more quietly and sit flush. Use it to restore proper cushioning where an original bumper is worn or missing. What it does:

• Absorbs shock and prevents metal-to-metal contact that can cause noise or chipping
• Helps doors, panels, or components close more softly and remain properly seated
• Reduces vibration transferred to surrounding parts for quieter operation
• Restores protective spacing to prevent rubbing and premature wear

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions
• Typically installs at the contact point; remove the old bumper and press or place the replacement into position
• If the bumper uses adhesive or a fastener, use the same method indicated by the OEM for secure fitment

• Suppresses electrical noise and interference on the appliance power line
• Helps reduce audible buzzing, humming or intermittent electronic behavior
• Protects sensitive control electronics from stray electrical transients
• Restores normal operation when a damaged filter is the root cause

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock hazard
• Handle and mount the filter per OEM orientation; secure connections firmly

This tension spring restores proper movement and tension for the appliance component it secures, helping the part operate smoothly and reliably. It's a simple replacement that fixes common issues caused by worn or broken springs. What it does:

• Provides tension to hold or return a moving component to its correct position
• Helps stop sagging, slipping, or loose operation of doors, latches, or levers
• Can reduce rattling or unusual noises caused by a failed spring
• Restores normal mechanical action when the original spring is stretched or broken

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
