This ice deflector guides ice cubes from the icemaker into the ice bin to help keep ice delivery consistent and reduce cube jams or spills. It's a simple replacement that restores proper ice routing in compatible refrigerators. What it does:

• Directs ice cubes from the icemaker into the ice bin for orderly dispensing
• Helps prevent ice clumping and blockages that can stop ice flow
• Keeps ice moving away from the icemaker assembly and into the bin
• Restores proper alignment and function after a cracked or missing deflector

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing to avoid electrical or mechanical injury
• Remove the ice bin or access panel per your model's service instructions to reach the deflector
• Part typically snaps or slides into place; reuse existing fasteners unless new hardware is supplied
• After installation, reconnect power and run the icemaker through a cycle; discard any ice made during the repair if contamination is suspected

Mounts in the dispenser to secure the ice housing assembly. Keeps the chute and door aligned for smooth dispensing. Replace if cracked, broken, or worn.

Fix noisy operation or poor ice dispensing caused by a worn drive sleeve coupling. This connector transmits motor rotation in your refrigerator's drive assembly.

Icemaker clogs or stops making ice? This heated fill tube directs water from the inlet valve to your icemaker. Moderate DIY replacement fixes flow issues.

Color: Black

This water inlet valve uses a single solenoid to control water flow into the unit. Replacing a sticking or leaking valve restores proper fill and can resolve issues like no ice production or unwanted drips.

• Opens and closes the household water supply to deliver the correct amount of water during a fill cycle
• Common fix for an icemaker that won't fill or produces no ice
• Helps stop leaks from the valve area or water seeping into the ice mold between cycles
• Can resolve a condition where the valve hums/buzzes but no water flows

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing.
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water and relieve line pressure.
• Move tubing and wire connectors one at a time to the new valve to match positions; secure all connections.
• Restore water and power, check carefully for leaks, and run a test fill (clear any ice from the fill tube if applicable).

This replacement roller fits the front or rear position of a slide mechanism, restoring smooth, even movement and reducing noise when a wheel is worn or broken. It helps racks or drawers glide properly and stay aligned. What it does:

• Provides low-friction rolling support for the slide track
• Helps slide-out assemblies move freely without binding or scraping
• Worn or damaged rollers can cause sticking, squeaking, or uneven travel
• Restores proper alignment and smooth operation when replaced

• 1 roller assembly

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Remove the slide-out assembly; note roller orientation and hardware
• Transfer/reuse existing screws, clips, or retainers as required
• Do not lubricate unless the manufacturer specifies a lubricant

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.
