This retainer clip secures a component in place to prevent movement and maintain proper alignment during appliance operation. Replacing a damaged or missing clip helps restore safe, reliable performance.

• Holds the mating part firmly to reduce vibration and noise
• Helps prevent intermittent operation caused by loose fitment
• Common fix when a component feels loose, rattles, or won't stay seated

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
• Note original clip orientation and location before removal
• Use needle-nose pliers to carefully release and install the clip
• Do not over-bend the clip; replace if deformed or fatigued

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This idler pulley shaft serves as the axle the idler pulley rides on, helping maintain proper belt alignment and tension. Replacing a worn shaft can reduce squealing, wobble, and belt wear so the drive system runs smoothly. What it does:

• Acts as the pivot/axle for the idler pulley within the belt-tensioner assembly
• Helps keep the drive belt aligned and properly tensioned
• Wear or scoring can cause pulley wobble, squeaking/squealing, or belt fraying
• Can contribute to belt slippage and intermittent loss of drive

• One idler pulley shaft

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply if applicable
• Relieve belt tension and access the idler assembly
• Note and transfer any spacers, washers, or retainers from the old shaft to the new one
• After reassembly, the pulley spins freely on the shaft and the belt tracks correctly

Replacement drum baffle that lifts and tumbles clothes inside the dryer for more even drying and helps prevent garments from snagging. Restores proper drum agitation to reduce noise and improve drying performance. What it does:

• Lifts and separates clothes as the drum turns to promote even heat exposure and drying.
• Helps keep items from bunching or wrapping around the drum, which can cause uneven drying.
• Reduces rattling, thumping, or scraping noises tied to a loose or damaged lifter.
• Protects fabrics from snagging or rubbing against the drum surface.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service to avoid shock or injury.
• Access may require removing the dryer front panel or drum.
• Keep fasteners and mounting tabs aligned during reassembly to ensure the baffle seats correctly.

A replacement bracket glide that secures and guides an appliance drawer or shelf glide so drawers open and close smoothly. Installing a new bracket restores proper alignment and helps prevent sticking, sagging and noisy operation. What it does:

• Supports and guides the drawer/glide assembly for smooth, even movement.
• Keeps the drawer aligned so it does not bind, tip or come off the track.
• Reduces scraping, grinding or rattling noises caused by a damaged bracket.
• Common symptom: drawers that stick, sag, pull to one side, or feel loose.

• Disconnect power (or unplug) and empty the drawer before you start.
• Remove the drawer or access panel to reach the bracket; basic hand tools are usually required.
• Retain original fasteners unless the replacement explicitly includes new hardware.

Color: Black.

For mating terminal use [AP31136300].

Color: Gray. Size: 13 oz. can. Used for coating the dryer drum interior. Acrylic appliance paint.

This precision-drilled burner orifice is sized for Type 4 butane applications. It meters gas to the burner so flames ignite reliably and burn cleanly when the appliance is configured for butane per the manufacturer's specifications. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the burner head for proper flame size and shape
• Type 4 drilling intended for butane gas configurations specified by the manufacturer
• Replaces a missing or stripped orifice during service or gas-type conversion

• 1 burner orifice (Type 4, butane)

• Shut off gas supply and power; allow the appliance to cool before service
• Access the orifice at the burner base/manifold; remove the original with the correct wrench or socket
• Start threads by hand; tighten snugly—avoid overtightening or cross-threading
• After reassembly, leak-check with soapy water and verify flame; gas conversions should be performed following OEM instructions and local codes

This 12-14 x 1/2 screw is a factory fastener used to secure appliance panels, brackets, and components. Replacing a missing or stripped screw restores a tight fit, reduces rattling, and keeps parts properly aligned for reliable operation.

• Secures panels, brackets, and internal components to their mounting points
• Replaces damaged, rusted, or missing hardware
• Helps stop vibration and rattling caused by loose fasteners
• Restores proper alignment and stability of covers or assemblies

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas/water before servicing
• Match the original screw's location and length; replace one at a time
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing
• Reinstall any original washers, clips, or spacers used with the screw

Size: 10-24 x 3/8 inch.

This lock nut secures appliance components and resists loosening from vibration. Replacing a stripped, rusted, or missing nut restores a firm, reliable connection to reduce noise and prevent parts from shifting or backing off.

• Secures brackets, shafts, pulleys, panels, or other hardware as designed by the manufacturer
• Helps prevent fasteners from loosening due to vibration and thermal cycling
• Common fix for rattling/vibration noises and components that work loose over time
• Replaces damaged, rounded, or missing original nut to restore proper fit

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water supplies before servicing
• Remove the worn nut with the appropriate wrench or socket
• Start the new nut by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten securely—do not overtighten
• Inspect the mating bolt/stud and any washers; replace if worn or damaged

This orifice is the small gas passage that controls burner fuel flow to create a proper flame for cooking. It restores correct gas metering so the burner lights and maintains a steady flame. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the burner for a consistent, controllable flame
• Helps fix symptoms like weak or uneven flames, burners that won't stay lit, or delayed ignition
• Fits into the burner assembly where the gas line meets the burner tube
• Works with the appliance's existing valve and burner components to maintain safe operation

• One burner orifice

• Turn off the gas supply and unplug the appliance before servicing
• Inspect for debris or damage and replace if the orifice or seat is corroded or clogged
• Tighten to the manufacturer's torque spec; do not overtighten or force into the seat

This ground screw secures the appliance grounding conductor to the chassis for a reliable electrical ground connection, helping maintain safety and proper operation. It's a direct-fit fastener used where a dedicated ground screw is required. What it does

• Fastens the grounding conductor to the appliance frame to maintain a secure earth/ground connection.
• Helps prevent electrical shock and reduces risk of stray voltage on the chassis.
• Addresses symptoms like intermittent or absent grounding and loose or corroded ground connections.
• Used wherever the original equipment grounding screw has been lost, damaged, or corroded.

• Disconnect power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before starting any work.
• Only attach to designated grounding points on the chassis; ensure the mating surface is clean and free of paint or corrosion.
• Use the correct driver and moderate hand torque—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.
