Rod retainer clip secures a support rod or shaft to keep moving parts aligned and stable during operation. Replacing a worn or broken clip prevents rattling, binding, or components falling out and helps restore proper mechanical function. What it does:

• Holds a support rod or shaft in place to maintain alignment of moving components.
• Prevents rods from sliding out or shifting, which can cause rattling, binding, or misalignment.
• Replace if the clip is bent, cracked, corroded, or no longer grips the rod securely.
• Common symptom: loose or misaligned parts, unusual noises, or components that detach during use.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing the appliance.
• Access may require removing panels, covers, or nearby components—follow the OEM service manual.
• Remove the old clip and carefully press or snap the replacement into place; avoid over-bending the clip.

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.

• One ice stripper arm

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair
• Remove the ice maker per the manufacturer instructions to access the stripper arm
• Inspect mounting points and the ice maker for additional wear; align and snap the new arm into place

This TRACK is the replacement guide that keeps a door or drawer aligned and sliding smoothly. It restores stable movement and reduces misalignment or scraping for a properly operating opening mechanism. What it does:

• Guides the door or drawer along its intended path to maintain alignment and smooth motion
• Prevents rubbing, sticking, or uneven movement that can lead to noisy operation
• Helps keep the panel or drawer from sagging or catching on the frame
• Restores consistent closing and opening performance when worn or damaged

• One replacement track

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access may require removing the panel, screws, or trim; keep fasteners organized
• Inspect adjacent rollers, brackets, and clips and replace any visibly worn parts

This is a flat plain washer used to distribute load and space hardware on appliance assemblies. It helps keep bolts and screws seated and reduces wear on mating surfaces for more secure fastener connections. What it does:

• Provides a flat bearing surface to spread clamp load and protect parts from fastener damage
• Maintains proper spacing and alignment for mounted components
• Helps prevent fastener loosening from vibration when used with the correct bolt or screw
• Commonly used on chassis, suspension, and bracket connections

• One plain flat washer

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing the appliance
• Replace only with the same washer size and thickness as the original for proper fit
• Tighten fasteners to secure but avoid over-torquing which can deform the washer

This replacement hinge bushing helps the appliance door pivot smoothly and reduces wear on the hinge assembly for quieter, more reliable door operation. Designed to restore proper alignment and movement when the original bushing is worn or damaged. What it does

• Provides a low-friction bearing surface for the door hinge pin to rotate against
• Reduces door sag, sticking, or grinding caused by a worn bushing
• Helps prevent accelerated wear to hinge pins and housings
• Supports consistent door alignment for proper sealing and operation

• One hinge bushing

• Replace only with the exact part specified for your model; disconnect power if working near electrical components
