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

This heater assembly provides the heat source for a dryer so clothes dry efficiently. It replaces a failed or damaged heating element to restore proper drying performance and reduce extended cycle times. What it does:

• Generates heated air used during the drying cycle
• Restores normal drying when a dryer produces little or no heat
• Works with thermostat and thermal fuse to maintain safe operating temperature
• Prevents overheating by failing open when faulty (leading to no heat)

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before servicing
• Handle element carefully to avoid damage; avoid touching terminals with bare hands
• Check related parts (thermal fuse, thermostats, airflow) if heating issues persist
• Follow OEM instructions for installation

This mechanical temperature control thermostat regulates refrigerator cooling by sensing cabinet temperature and switching the compressor on and off to maintain set temperature. It restores stable cooling when the thermostat is the failed component. What it does:

• Senses interior temperature and opens/closes the circuit to the compressor to control cooling cycles
• Stops continuous compressor run when the thermostat is operating correctly
• Can cause the refrigerator to run constantly, not reach set temperature, or short-cycle when faulty
• Works with the control housing and capillary tube to monitor cabinet temperature

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the capillary tube gently; do not kink or damage it during removal or installation
• Access usually requires removing the control housing or back panel; keep fasteners for reassembly

This drip pan is the replacement drain tray that catches defrost and condensation water to help prevent leaks and puddling under the appliance. It restores the unit's normal water collection and drainage path. What it does:

• Collects defrost and condensation water from the evaporator area.
• Directs water toward the drain channel to prevent pooling under the appliance.
• Helps reduce risk of water damage to flooring from leaks or overflow.
• Addresses symptoms like water puddling beneath the unit or visible drips.

• Designed for straightforward replacement; use appliance-specific service manual for exact procedure.
• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any service.
• Handle carefully to avoid bending tabs or damaging mounting locations.

This genuine replacement power cord restores safe, reliable electrical connection for compatible ranges and ovens. It replaces a damaged or frayed cord so the appliance can receive mains power without safety hazards. What it does

• Delivers AC mains power to the appliance via the factory connector and terminal block
• Replaces cords with exposed wires, scorch marks, melting, or broken insulation
• Stops intermittent power loss caused by damaged or loose cord connections
• Prevents arcing and reduces fire risk from compromised power leads

• One replacement power cord

• Always disconnect household power at the breaker before servicing the appliance
• Verify the cord matches your appliance's terminal block and local electrical code; a licensed electrician may be required
• Inspect and reuse or replace the strain relief and terminal block screws as needed for a safe connection
• Do not attempt repairs if wiring or terminals are corroded—replace damaged components

This is a replacement door hinge used to secure and pivot a refrigerator door, restoring smooth opening/closing and proper door alignment. It helps stop sagging, misalignment, and uneven sealing to improve cold retention and operation. What it does:

• Provides a durable pivot point so the refrigerator door opens and closes smoothly.
• Restores correct door alignment to improve gasket sealing and reduce cold air loss.
• Stops door sag and prevents catching or scraping when opening/closing.
• Supports the door weight and maintains proper clearance for drawers and shelves.

• Power off and unplug the appliance before starting repair to avoid injury.
• Support the door during removal/installation to prevent dropping or damage.
• Use basic hand tools; torque fasteners to manufacturer specifications when available.
• Examine for additional repair needs.

This clip-mount bimetal defrost thermostat senses evaporator temperature and closes to allow the heater circuit during defrost cycles, helping prevent ice buildup on the evaporator. It restores proper defrost operation when the thermostat has failed. What it does:

• Opens and closes based on evaporator temperature to control the defrost heater circuit
• Allows the defrost heater to run when ice buildup requires melting
• Common symptom: excessive frost or ice on the evaporator coils
• Common symptom: defrost cycle not activating or freezer running intermittently

• One bimetal defrost thermostat with mounting clip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Replace only when the original defrost thermostat is faulty; handle the sensing element carefully
• Ensure the thermostat is securely clipped to the evaporator tube and wiring connections are tight

This flat washer is a small hardware fastener used to distribute load and keep screws or bolts secure. It helps maintain tight connections and prevents damage to appliance surfaces where fasteners pass through. What it does:

• Provides a smooth bearing surface for screws or bolts to reduce wear
• Helps distribute load to prevent fastener pull-through or material deformation
• Reduces loosening from vibration that can cause rattling or misalignment
• Commonly used where a secure, flush fastener connection is required

• One flat washer

• Disconnect power and water to the appliance and follow basic electrical and safety precautions before replacing hardware
• Use the washer with the matching screw or bolt size and material specified by the manufacturer
• Inspect mating surfaces and replace any damaged fasteners or parts to ensure a secure fit

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that detects internal air temperature and sends that signal to the control board so the appliance can maintain proper cooling. Replaces a failed or intermittent sensor to restore accurate temperature control. What it does:

• Senses the refrigerator/freezer air temperature and converts it to an electrical signal for the control board
• Helps the control system cycle the compressor and fans for stable temperatures
• Common failure symptoms: erratic or warm temps, frequent cycling, or temperature error codes
• Can affect automatic defrost timing and ice maker behavior when readings are incorrect

• One thermistor sensor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid kinking or stressing the probe and leads
• Plug the connector fully into the matching harness and secure the sensor in its mounting clip or hole

This grille is the exterior vent trim that covers the oven's vent opening and keeps the cooktop or range looking finished while allowing airflow. It restores a clean appearance and protects internal vent components. What it does:

• Covers and protects the oven vent opening from debris and direct contact
• Maintains proper airflow path for cooling and venting near the cooktop/range
• Restores finished appearance when the original grille is cracked, dented, or missing
• Helps prevent small items from falling into the vent area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work to avoid electrical hazards.
• Handle edges carefully; metal trim pieces may have sharp edges.
• Typically secures with a few screws or clips—keep hardware from the original part or use exact replacements.
