• Handle the tray carefully to avoid chipping or cracking during installation

This PTC thermistor assembly senses temperature and sends a signal to the appliance control so the unit runs at the correct temperature. Replacing a faulty thermistor restores reliable temperature feedback for proper operation. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and provides feedback to the appliance control board
• Helps control cooling/heating cycles by changing resistance with temperature
• Common symptom of failure: incorrect temperature readings or improper cycling
• May also cause extended run times, frequent on/off cycling, or no cooling

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends in the thermistor lead
• Test operation after installation and reassemble panels securely

This button lever is the small control-panel actuator that transfers finger pressure to the underlying switch, restoring reliable button feel and control response. Replaces worn, cracked, or missing levers to make front-panel buttons usable again. What it does

• Acts as the actuator for a specific control-panel push button, transferring user press to the switch beneath.
• Restores button engagement when the original lever is cracked, broken, or has fallen off.
• Helps eliminate intermittent or non-responsive button presses caused by damaged actuators.
• Fits into the control-bezel and aligns the button with the switch for consistent operation.

• One button lever/actuator as shown.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing to avoid shock or accidental activation.
• Access typically requires removing the control-bezel or panel; handle clips and small fasteners carefully.
• Align the lever onto the switch plunger and secure the bezel; do not force plastic parts to avoid breakage.

This replacement home bar case is the inner door shelf that holds bottles and small items in the refrigerator door, restoring storage function and a finished interior look. It fits the refrigerator's dedicated home/bar compartment. What it does:

• Provides a secure shelf for bottles, cans, and small containers in the door's home/bar area
• Restores proper spacing and support so items sit level and stay in place
• Replaces cracked, broken, or missing door-shelf housings that cause items to fall or rattle

• Usually installs with snap-in tabs or a small number of screws—do not force parts; align tabs before pressing
• If your door has wiring or lighting nearby, disconnect power to the refrigerator before working on the door

This replacement drip tray catches and channels water beneath the appliance to prevent leaks and pooling. It helps maintain proper drainage and reduces the chance of water damage under your refrigerator or freezer. What it does:

• Collects condensation, defrost water, or minor leaks to keep the cabinet floor dry
• Directs water to the evaporator or drain system so it can safely evaporate
• Helps prevent pooling that can lead to odors or mildew
• Restores a damaged or missing tray to stop water from dripping onto the floor

• For safety, unplug the appliance and shut off water supply (if applicable) before installing
• Slide or snap the tray into the designated location; ensure it seats fully and aligns with the drain path
• Inspect surrounding seals and drain channels for blockages or damage while the tray is accessible
