Lfc2576st Parts

This refrigerator sheath heater melts frost from the evaporator so air can circulate freely and the unit can cool properly. Replacing a failed heater helps restore even temperatures and reduce frost buildup in the freezer.

• Warms the evaporator coil during defrost cycles to clear ice
• Helps prevent restricted airflow, warm spots, and long run times
• Common failure symptoms include heavy frost on the evaporator, poor cooling, ice buildup on the back panel, or frequent defrost errors
• May cause sizzling sounds or water under the evaporator area during normal operation after replacement

• Unplug the refrigerator before service; defrost any heavy ice to access parts safely
• Access typically from the rear of the freezer compartment behind the evaporator cover
• Handle heater leads and evaporator fins carefully to avoid damage
• Secure all connectors before reassembly

This connector secures and transmits motion between the drawer drive and the sliding assembly, restoring smooth drawer movement and alignment. It's a direct-fit replacement that helps fix sticking, slipping, or non-moving drawers. What it does:

• Couples the drawer drive mechanism to the sliding gear, allowing the drawer to open and close reliably
• Replaces worn or broken connector teeth or mounts that cause skipping or jammed operation
• Helps correct uneven or noisy drawer movement caused by damaged linkage
• Restores proper engagement so the drawer responds to normal open/close controls

• One connector as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding gears, tracks, and mounting points; replace any damaged parts for best results
• Basic hand tools are typically required; handle plastic gears carefully to avoid further damage

This center hinge assembly replaces the refrigerator door center hinge to restore proper door alignment and smooth operation. It supports the door weight and helps maintain correct sealing for reliable cooling performance. What it does:

• Supports the center of the door, keeping it aligned and preventing sagging
• Provides the pivot point for smooth opening and closing
• Helps maintain a consistent door seal to prevent cool-air loss
• Can eliminate shifting, squeaking, or uneven door gaps caused by a worn hinge

• 1 center hinge assembly

• Disconnect power and empty or support the door before removing the hinge
• Use appropriate tools and a second person to safely support the door during replacement
• Inspect adjoining hinges and mounting hardware; replace any damaged fasteners for best results

This cover cap is a small plastic trim piece that protects exposed fasteners and improves the appliance's appearance. It snaps into place to hide mounting posts and help prevent snags or debris buildup. What it does:

• Covers and protects exposed screws, posts, or fasteners for a finished look
• Prevents lint, dust, and debris from collecting around the mounting point
• Reduces the chance of fabric snags or contact with sharp edges
• Restores worn or missing trim for improved cosmetics

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service that exposes electrical components
• Usually installs by snapping over the post or press-fitting into the trim opening — no special tools required
• If needed, remove adjacent trim pieces to gain access, then reinstall trim in reverse order
• Inspect surrounding mounting hardware for damage and replace if necessary

This replacement door gasket assembly seals the refrigerator door to help maintain proper temperature and reduce energy loss. It restores the seal around the door edge for better cooling performance and food preservation. What it does:

• Creates an airtight seal around the refrigerator door to limit cold air escape
• Helps maintain consistent internal temperature for food safety
• Reduces frost buildup and excessive compressor run time when working properly
• Addresses symptoms such as warm spots near the door, visible gaps, or persistent condensation

• One door gasket assembly

• Inspect the door and mounting channel for debris before installing; clean with mild detergent and dry completely
• Gasket typically stretches into a channel and secures around the door perimeter—avoid sharp tools that can damage the seal
• For best results, install at room temperature; warm the gasket gently if needed to ease fitting

This grille cover protects the appliance's cooling/ventilation fan and helps direct airflow where it's needed. It restores the cabinet finish and keeps debris away from the fan housing for more reliable operation. What it does:

• Shields the fan from loose debris and small objects that can cause damage
• Helps channel airflow for proper cooling/ventilation
• Prevents direct contact with fan blades for improved safety
• Reduces rattling or vibration caused by damaged or missing grille

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Remove any trim or access panels as required to reach the fan area
• Secure with the factory fasteners; do not overtighten to avoid cracking
• Handle edges carefully; wear gloves if needed and test operation after reassembly

This center hinge assembly supports and pivots the middle door section to keep doors aligned and operating smoothly. Replace a worn or damaged center hinge to restore proper door movement and help maintain a tight seal. What it does:

• Provides the pivot point and structural support for the center door section to open and close smoothly
• Helps maintain door alignment to prevent rubbing, scraping, or uneven gaps
• Reduces door sag that can interfere with sealing and cooling efficiency
• Prevents binding or sticking during door operation

• One center hinge assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Doors are heavy—have a second person assist to support doors while removing or installing the hinge
• Remove any trim or covers to access hinge screws; align doors fully before tightening fasteners
• Use manufacturer-recommended torque; do not overtighten screws or force parts into place
