Lmx28988sb/00 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 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 motor bracket assembly secures the appliance motor to the cabinet, keeping the motor properly positioned for reliable operation and reducing vibration or rubbing. Replaces a worn or damaged motor mounting bracket to restore stability. What it does:

• Holds the motor in place to maintain proper belt alignment and drivetrain geometry
• Prevents motor movement that can cause loud noise, grinding, or rubbing
• Reduces excessive vibration that can transfer to the cabinet or other components
• Helps maintain safe, consistent motor operation during spin or drive cycles

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair
• Support the motor before removing mounting hardware to avoid strain on wires or components
• Tighten all fasteners to OEM torque specs; replace any damaged brackets or fasteners
• Test operation after installation and re-check for proper alignment and noise

This rail guide assembly replaces a worn or broken slide rail that supports smooth movement of a drawer or component. Restores proper alignment and helps the drawer glide quietly and evenly. What it does:

• Guides and supports the drawer or sliding component along its track.
• Replaces damaged or bent rail sections that cause sticking or uneven movement.
• Reduces scraping, grinding, or noisy operation from a faulty guide.
• Helps restore proper alignment to prevent binding or partial closure.

• One rail guide assembly.

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) and follow appliance-specific disassembly steps before replacing the rail.
• Basic hand tools are typically required; avoid forcing components to prevent breakage.
• Keep fasteners and any removed parts organized for reassembly.

This is a replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels, trim or components. It restores proper attachment to reduce vibration and rattling and helps keep removable parts firmly in place during operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets or trim pieces to the appliance frame
• Restores secure fit when original screw is missing, loose, or stripped
• Reduces rattling and vibration caused by loose hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment of removable covers and control panels

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Verify size and thread match the original screw before installation
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten securely but do not overtighten — overtightening can strip threads or crack plastic parts
• Keep small parts away from children and pets

A replacement cover motor that powers the refrigerator's dispenser cover, allowing the door to open and close so you can access ice and water. Replaces a worn or failed motor to restore normal dispenser cover operation. What it does:

• Drives the dispenser cover mechanism so the cover opens when dispensing and closes when idle
• Helps keep the dispenser sealed to reduce drafts and prevent pests or debris from entering
• Stops or fails to move when worn, causing a stuck, slow, or noisy dispenser cover
• Works with the dispenser linkage and gears to coordinate cover motion with user controls

• One cover motor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove dispenser trim and access panel per your model's service instructions to reach the motor
• Handle gears and linkage carefully; ensure proper alignment during reassembly and test cover operation before finishing

This replacement door handle restores a secure grip and proper door operation on compatible refrigerators. Durable and contoured to match factory styling, it replaces cracked, loose, or broken handles for a safer, finished look. What it does:

• Provides a firm, ergonomic grip to open and close the refrigerator door
• Replaces cracked, damaged, or loose handles that affect door usability
• Restores the appliance's factory appearance and user comfort
• Helps prevent further damage from using a compromised handle

• Power off and unplug the appliance or disconnect power at the breaker before installation to avoid electrical risk
• Use appropriate hand tools; support the door during removal/installation to prevent injury or damage
• Follow the manufacturer service manual or on-page model fitment for proper screw locations and torque
