• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Remove access panels as needed; position the pad flat against the cabinet surface or mounting area.
• Use original clips/adhesive or manufacturer-recommended fasteners to secure the pad; avoid covering vents or controls.

This spacer maintains the correct gap and alignment between components within the appliance assembly. Replacing a worn or missing spacer restores proper clearance to reduce rubbing and noise and helps the mechanism operate smoothly.

• Keeps designed spacing between parts for correct alignment
• Reduces friction, squeaks, and premature wear from parts contacting
• Helps components seat securely and move freely
• Common signs include rubbing/squeaking noises, misalignment or wobble, or a visibly damaged/missing spacer

• Disconnect power; turn off the water supply before starting
• Note the orientation and order of any shims/washers during disassembly
• Transfer any reusable hardware and seat the spacer fully; do not overtighten fasteners
• After reassembly, check for smooth movement with no binding or rubbing

This stud is a small mounting fastener that provides a secure anchor point for attaching appliance components. Replacing a worn or missing stud restores a tight, aligned fit and helps prevent looseness, rattles, or shifting.

• Provides a fixed, threaded anchor for mounting a handle, bracket, or panel
• Helps keep parts aligned and secure during normal operation
• Common replacement for studs that are stripped, bent, broken, or missing
• Symptoms can include a loose or wobbly component, difficulty tightening, or visible damage/corrosion

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water or gas before servicing
• Wear cut-resistant gloves and handle panels carefully
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing
• Reinstall any covers or related hardware in their original positions

Also order air vent gasket

This tube nut secures the water inlet tubing to its fitting, creating a tight, leak-resistant connection. Use it when the original nut is cracked, stripped, or can no longer hold the line securely.

• Tightens over the inlet fitting to clamp the water tube and form a reliable seal
• Helps stop drips at the water-line connection point
• Addresses loose or damaged inlet connections and difficulty keeping the tube seated
• Commonly replaced when the nut is worn, cross-threaded, or visibly cracked

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel to catch residual water and relieve line pressure
• Hold the fitting with one wrench while tightening the nut with another to avoid twisting components
• Do not overtighten; restore water and check for leaks after installation
• Inspect the tubing, ferrule/sleeve, and insert; replace if worn or damaged
