This push-in plug button is a small replacement cap that covers and seals an unused opening or socket on compatible appliances, keeping the area clean and helping prevent debris and moisture entry. What it does:

• Covers an unused plug hole or access port to block dust, dirt, and moisture.
• Provides a finished appearance by hiding raw openings in panels or control housings.
• Helps keep internal components protected from contaminants that can affect operation.
• Snaps into place for a secure fit without adhesives.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing panels or openings.
• Typically installs by pressing into the opening until it snaps flush; no special tools required.
• Verify correct fit and orientation before final reassembly.
• If panel damage is present or the button does not seat securely, inspect mating opening or surrounding clips.

This SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) controls high-current switching in the appliance's power circuit to enable reliable on/off control of heating or motor circuits. Designed for direct replacement of the original SCR component. What it does:

• Acts as a solid-state switch to control power to heating elements or motors when triggered by the appliance control board.
• Helps regulate current during start-up and run cycles to maintain proper operation of the appliance.
• Failures can cause symptoms such as no heat, intermittent operation, or the appliance not powering its load.
• Matches the OEM mounting and stud terminal configuration for proper electrical connection.

• One SCR component (8-32 stud) as pictured.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage.
• Use proper tools for the 8-32 stud terminals and ensure secure electrical and heatsink connections.
• Inspect mounting surfaces and replace any damaged hardware or thermal pads as needed for safe operation.

A replacement 8-18 x 3/4 flanged pan-head screw used to secure panels, trim, and components. Restores proper fit and stops loose parts from rattling or shifting, helping appliances operate quietly and safely. What it does

• Fastens panels, brackets, trim pieces or assemblies that use an 8-18 thread screw
• Replaces missing or stripped screws that cause loose or vibrating parts
• Helps maintain proper alignment of panels and covers
• Prevents gaps that can allow movement or noise during operation

• One 8-18 x 3/4 flanged pan-head screw

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Thread the screw in by hand first, then snug; avoid over-tightening
• If underlying threads are damaged, replace the mating fastener or insert as needed

This compressor mounting stud secures the compressor to the refrigerator chassis, keeping the unit stable and reducing vibration and noise. It's a durable replacement part for worn, bent, or missing compressor mounting hardware. What it does:

• Provides a secure attachment point between the compressor and cabinet/frame
• Helps reduce compressor vibration and operational noise when correctly installed
• Prevents compressor movement that can stress refrigerant lines or electrical connections
• Commonly replaced when the original stud is corroded, damaged, or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Support the compressor while removing/installing mounting hardware to avoid strain on lines and fittings.
• Replace any associated nuts, washers, or insulators if worn or damaged; use correct hardware orientation.

This 10-32 hex washer head screw secures panels and components on appliances, providing a reliable fastener that helps keep parts aligned and vibration-free. Use it when a matching machine screw is missing or damaged. What it does

• Fastens appliance panels, brackets, and small components using a 10-32 machine thread
• Hex washer head spreads load and resists pull-through on thin sheet metal
• Replaces missing or stripped screws that cause loose panels, rattling, or misaligned parts
• Compact size for tight mounting locations where a machine screw is required

• One 10-32 hex washer head screw, 1/2 inch length

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the correct 10-32 driver (hex/Socket or nut driver) to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten snugly but avoid over-torquing to prevent thread damage or panel distortion
• Replace with identical size and thread to ensure proper fit and function

This condenser support is the replacement mounting bracket that holds the refrigerator condenser or condenser coil securely in place, helping maintain proper clearance and airflow for reliable cooling performance. What it does:

• Secures the condenser or condenser coil to the cabinet to prevent movement or vibration
• Maintains correct condenser positioning to support consistent airflow and heat dissipation
• Helps reduce rattling or noise caused by a loose condenser assembly
• Supports overall cooling reliability by keeping components aligned

• One condenser support bracket

• Installation requires basic hand tools; disconnect power before beginning any repair
• Handle sharp sheet-metal edges carefully to avoid cuts
• Reinstall any removed panels or fasteners to restore proper airflow paths
