Kitchenaid Ksrs 251 Kss03 Parts

This terminal block cover protects the appliance's electrical connection area from accidental contact and debris, helping reduce the risk of shorts and corrosion while keeping wiring secure and contained. What it does:

• Covers and shields the power terminal/block where the power cord connects
• Helps prevent accidental contact with live terminals and reduces short risk
• Keeps out dust, lint and debris that can cause corrosion or arcing
• Useful when the original cover is cracked, missing or showing burn marks

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing electrical components
• Typically installs over the terminal block and secures with the existing fastener(s); inspect mounting hardware for wear
• Replace if cracked, melted or if terminals are exposed; ensure cover seats fully before restoring power

A replacement lower hinge shim that helps level and align a refrigerator door for smoother opening and a better seal. Use when a door sits unevenly, rubs the cabinet, or doesn't close flush. What it does

• Provides a thin, durable spacer under the bottom hinge to correct door tilt and height
• Restores proper door alignment to improve sealing and reduce rubbing or binding
• Helps stop uneven wear on gasket edges caused by a misaligned door
• Works with the existing hinge assembly; often used during hinge replacement or adjustment

• Disconnect power and remove food from the door area before starting work
• Support the door while loosening or removing hinge fasteners to prevent it from falling
• Install the shim under the bottom hinge plate as needed, then re-torque fasteners and check door alignment

This replacement screw secures panels, trim pieces and small assemblies so covers and components stay aligned and rattle-free. It's a simple, direct fastening part used when an original screw is missing or damaged. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, control housings and other small components to the appliance chassis
• Replaces missing, worn or stripped screws that cause loose panels or rattling noises
• Restores correct alignment of covers and trims after service or disassembly
• Provides a direct, hardware-level repair instead of temporary fixes

• Disconnect power (and gas, where applicable) and ensure the appliance is cool before starting.
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and turn until snug; do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts.
• Keep removed hardware for reference; replace like-for-like if threads or inserts are damaged.
• Wear eye protection and gloves when working on appliances.

This shelf stud secures refrigerator shelves or glass shelves to the side liner, restoring proper support and alignment for safe storage. Replace a broken or missing stud to stop shelves from tilting or slipping. What it does:

• Supports and anchors refrigerator shelves to the cabinet liner
• Keeps glass or wire shelves level and prevents sagging
• Replaces damaged, cracked, or missing shelf studs that allow shelves to tilt
• Helps restore secure shelf placement after impact or wear

• One shelf stud

• Designed for straightforward replacement; remove the shelf before installing
• Align stud with the shelf bracket or notch and press or snap into place as the model requires
• Use care to avoid cracking adjacent trim; do not force excessive pressure
• Disconnect power only if accessing electrical components—this part replacement typically does not require it

This part no longer includes the relay. A common substitute relay for many models is part # WP2262181. If you are unsure if this substitution is compatible with your model, please call 1-877-477-7278 for more assistance.

This motor overload protector helps prevent the dryer motor from overheating by cutting power when excessive current or heat is detected. It restores normal operation when the motor cools or the overload is replaced. What it does:

• Protects the dryer motor from damage by interrupting power during overheating or overcurrent conditions
• Commonly used when the dryer motor won't start, hums but doesn't run, or the motor trips repeatedly
• Works with the motor start system to reduce the risk of burned windings and costly motor failure
• Resets or is replaced to restore normal motor operation after an overload event

• Always unplug the appliance before checking or replacing this part
• Inspect wiring and motor for underlying issues that can cause repeated overloads

This is a replacement hex nut used to secure appliance components and fasteners. It restores a tight, reliable connection where a worn or missing nut causes loose panels, trim, or bracketing. What it does:

• Secures threaded studs, bolts, or fasteners to keep panels and components in place
• Restores proper fastening when original nut is stripped, corroded, or lost
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration, or loose parts caused by a missing/failed nut
• Compatible with the appliance locations that use a standard hex nut for mounting

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before accessing interior panels or fasteners
• Use the correct wrench or socket size to avoid rounding the nut
• Replace only like-for-like nuts; if thread damage is present, inspect and replace the mating bolt/stud as needed

This screw anchor is a small plastic fastener that secures panels and trim on appliances, preventing screws from stripping or pulling out. It provides a reliable anchor point for screws where threaded material is thin or absent. What it does:

• Creates a secure mounting point for screws in sheet metal, plastic or thin panels
• Helps prevent screw looseness, stripping, and parts that shift or rattle
• Commonly used to hold trim, panels, or interior components in place
• Works with compatible screws to distribute load and stabilize attachments

• Use the correct screw size and length; anchors are made for specific screw diameters—do not force oversize screws
• Align anchor in the prepared hole before driving the screw to avoid cracking the anchor or surrounding material
• Hand-start screws until seated, then tighten gradually—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before accessing internal panels

This deflector directs airflow and protects nearby components from heat and debris, helping the appliance maintain consistent performance. It's a small but important trim/air-guide part that keeps internal airflow routed correctly. What it does:

• Guides and redirects airflow inside the appliance to improve circulation
• Shields adjacent components from heat, lint, or debris
• Helps maintain even temperatures and consistent operation
• A worn or damaged deflector can contribute to uneven heating, reduced efficiency, or abnormal airflow noises

• One deflector part

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing
• Use basic hand tools; handle edges carefully—parts may have sharp edges
• Verify correct placement against the service diagram; fasten securely but avoid overtightening

This molded air deflector directs cold freezer airflow around the icemaker assembly to help maintain consistent ice production and reduce partial fills. It's a simple replacement that restores proper air routing inside the freezer compartment. What it does:

• Guides cold air to and around the icemaker so the unit can cool evenly
• Helps prevent warm-air pockets that can cause small or misshapen ice
• Restores intended airflow after a cracked or missing deflector
• Passive part with no electrical components or adjustments

• One icemaker air deflector

• Basic snap- or screw-in replacement; inspect mounting tabs for damage before installing
• Turn off power to the refrigerator before accessing the icemaker area
• Handle plastic parts carefully to avoid cracking mounting clips
