• Common signs include a blank or non-responsive control panel, no interior lights or dispenser, intermittent power/clicking, or the unit not running even though the outlet has power
• Failures may follow electrical surges or shorted loads

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before servicing; capacitors may hold a charge
• Use ESD protection and handle the board by its edges
• Photograph/label all connectors; transfer wires one by one and ensure full seating
• Mount securely and inspect for pinched/shorted wires before restoring power

This replacement wiper is the OEM-style rubber blade that clears residue from a sealing surface to help restore proper closure and reduce moisture buildup. Install to replace torn, cracked, or worn wiper material for better sealing performance. What it does:

• Wipes water and debris from the seal or track to help maintain a tight closure.

• Stops rubbing or improper closing caused by a damaged or missing wiper.
• Restores the intended contact between the seal and mating surface for reliable performance.

• Disconnect power and follow the appliance manufacturer's safety instructions before servicing.
• Typically installs by sliding or snapping into the wiper channel; use care to avoid stretching or tearing the rubber.
• Clean the mating surface and inspect the retainer or track for damage before installing; replace any damaged retainers per OEM instructions.

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 cab roller restores smooth movement and support for the appliance cabinet/door component, helping reduce noise and prevent binding from worn or damaged rollers. What it does

• Supports and guides the cabinet/door or sliding assembly for proper alignment
• Helps maintain smooth, quiet operation during opening/closing or movement
• Worn or broken rollers can cause sticking, scraping, or unusual noise
• Replacing the roller resolves common movement and alignment symptoms

• One roller

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Remove the affected panel or door per the appliance service instructions to access the roller
• Inspect mounting bracket and tracks for wear or damage; replace additional damaged parts as needed
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing components to prevent damage

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.
