Kss042qtb 00 Parts

A genuine replacement screw used to secure appliance panels, brackets, and components so assemblies stay aligned and stable. Installs quickly with a screwdriver or driver bit to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, brackets or internal components to keep parts properly aligned
• Prevents loose or vibrating panels that can cause noise or wear
• Holds mounting points that keep doors, seals, and assemblies operating correctly
• Replaces stripped, missing, or corroded fasteners that compromise fit

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid overtightening which can strip threads or deform parts
• Keep removed hardware organized and replace like-for-like for best fit

This wire harness is the factory-style wiring assembly that routes power and signals between components, restoring reliable electrical connections for safe appliance operation. Replace a damaged or burned harness to reestablish proper power and control function. What it does:

• Carries power and control signals between controls, motors, switches, and sensors
• Restores lost or intermittent power caused by frayed, broken, or burned wires
• Prevents shorts and arcing from damaged insulation or loose connectors
• Ensures correct connector routing for dependable component operation

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair
• Compare new harness to the old part for connector type, length, and routing before installation
• Route wires along the original paths and secure all clips and fasteners to avoid rubbing or heat contact

A small metal retaining clip that secures a bi-metal thermostat or temperature sensor in place, helping maintain proper contact and accurate temperature sensing for reliable appliance operation. Simple, durable replacement part. What it does

• Holds a bi-metal thermostat or temperature sensor firmly against its mounting point or probe.
• Maintains consistent contact to support accurate temperature sensing and control.
• Can help stop intermittent temperature-related issues caused by a loose or damaged clip.
• Designed for direct replacement where a spring-style or formed metal retainer is required.

• One bi-metal retaining clip (single clip).

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair.
• Removal/installation typically requires small pliers or a flat screwdriver; avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
• Verify clip orientation and that the sensor/thermostat is seated fully before securing.

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and small components. It provides a correct-fit fastener to restore secure attachment and eliminate rattles or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures trim, panels, brackets, or small assemblies to prevent movement and vibration
• Restores proper alignment when a worn or missing screw causes loose parts or noise
• Works as a direct-replacement fastener where the OEM screw specification is required

• One replacement screw

• Use the correct driver bit to avoid stripping the head; do not overtighten
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety guidelines when accessing internal components
• If the original mounting hole or threads are damaged, repair or replace the mounting hardware before reinstalling

This light cam assembly positions and secures the interior light mechanism so the appliance light operates correctly when the door is opened. Replaces a worn or broken cam to restore proper light activation and fit. What it does:

• Holds and indexes the interior light/lens assembly so the light turns on/off reliably with door movement
• Prevents the light or lens from rattling or becoming loose inside the cabinet
• Restores proper alignment when a broken or worn cam causes intermittent or non-functioning interior lighting
• Works with the door/light linkage to ensure consistent contact with the light switch

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove the light lens and/or inner trim panel to access the cam; keep all fasteners for reassembly
• Inspect mating parts (lens, switch, brackets) and replace if damaged to avoid repeat failures
• Test light and door operation after installation to confirm correct alignment and function

This damper heater is the heater element used with the refrigerator air-damper assembly to help prevent frost and condensation buildup around the damper. Replaces a failed heater to restore proper damper operation and airflow. What it does:

• Warms the damper area to reduce ice and condensation that can block the damper
• Helps ensure the fresh-food and freezer compartments share airflow as intended
• Commonly replaced when frost or ice accumulates near the damper or when the damper fails to open/close smoothly
• Works as part of the damper/air control system; does not include the full damper housing or actuators unless specified

• Disconnect power to the appliance before replacing this part to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing interior panels or the damper housing; follow OEM instructions for your model
• Inspect the damper housing and actuator for damage or ice buildup when replacing the heater

This evaporator cover gasket seals the evaporator cover to the refrigerator cabinet, helping maintain proper airflow and reducing frost buildup behind the back wall. It restores a tight seal for more reliable cooling performance. What it does:

• Seals the evaporator cover to prevent air leaks that can cause frost or ice buildup
• Helps maintain consistent cold-air circulation in the freezer/refrigerator compartment
• Reduces chances of excessive frost, water pooling, or longer run cycles tied to air infiltration
• Supports normal defrost operation by keeping warm, moist air out of the evaporator cavity

• Disconnect power before servicing and allow the appliance to defrost if needed
• Remove the evaporator cover carefully; watch for sharp sheet-metal edges and retain fasteners
• Position gasket evenly around the cover mating surface; avoid stretching or creasing the seal
• If adhesive or clips are used, replace or reapply per OEM guidance to ensure a secure fit

This rail secures and guides the washer lid, restoring proper lid alignment and smooth opening/closing. Replaces a worn, cracked, or loose lid rail to reduce rattling and prevent the lid from catching during use. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting surface for the washer lid so it opens and closes evenly
• Guides lid movement and helps prevent misalignment or binding
• Reduces noise and rattling caused by a loose or damaged rail
• Helps keep the lid seated correctly to prevent accidental gaps or snags

• Typical install requires removing the top or accessing the lid hinge area; retain original fasteners unless replacements are provided
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work to avoid injury
