• Inspect surrounding seals and clamps; replace clamps or ducting if damaged
• Secure pipe with OEM-recommended fasteners and ensure vent path is clear

This exhaust pipe vents hot, moist air from the dryer to the home venting system, helping the appliance dry clothes efficiently and reduce indoor humidity. Replace a damaged or restricted pipe to restore proper airflow. What it does:

• Channels dryer exhaust air safely from the appliance to the exterior vent
• Helps prevent overheating and long dry times caused by restricted airflow
• Reduces lint buildup in the appliance by providing a clear vent path
• Commonly replaced when cracked, crushed, kinked, or badly corroded

• Disconnect power to electric dryers; shut off gas supply and disconnect for gas dryers before servicing
• Inspect existing vent path for additional damage or lint buildup and clean before installing
• Position pipe without sharp bends or kinks and secure with appropriate clamps or fasteners

This pipe plug seals an unused or service opening in a household appliance's plumbing to stop leaks and prevent debris entry. It restores a watertight closure so the appliance can operate safely and without water loss. What it does:

• Plugs open pipe or hose fittings to prevent water leaks
• Helps maintain proper water flow by sealing unused ports
• Keeps debris and contaminants out of the plumbing system
• Can stop intermittent drips originating from service openings

• One pipe plug

• Turn off water supply and power to the appliance before starting work
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten only to OEM torque or finger-tight plus a quarter-turn if unspecified
• If the original used sealant or gasket, replace with the same type per OEM instructions

This main wire harness routes power and signals between a washer or dryer's controls and components so the appliance can operate reliably. Replacing a damaged harness restores proper electrical connections and control response. What it does:

• Provides factory-style wiring and connectors between control board, switches, motors and sensors
• Restores lost or intermittent power and communication caused by frayed, burned, or disconnected wires
• Prevents short circuits and inconsistent operation from damaged harnesses
• Matches OEM connector types and routing for correct fit and function

• One main wire harness

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any work
• Take photos of existing wiring and connector locations to ensure correct routing during reassembly
• Route the harness to avoid sharp edges, pinch points and moving parts; secure with clamps or ties as needed
• Inspect connectors and mating terminals for damage; replace if corroded or melted

This genuine replacement power cord restores safe, reliable AC power to compatible electric ranges and wall ovens. It replaces a damaged or worn cord so your appliance can draw electricity without loose connections or visible damage. What it does:

• Provides the main AC connection between the appliance and the household power supply
• Replaces frayed, burnt, cracked, or otherwise damaged cords that can cause intermittent power or arcing
• Helps stop sparking at the cord entry and eliminates loose or overheating connections
• Restores a secure, strain-relieved connection when the original cord or terminal is compromised

• Cut power at the breaker and verify the appliance is completely de-energized before starting
• Follow the appliance wiring diagram and secure conductors to the correct terminals; use the factory strain relief if provided
• Inspect terminal block and connector hardware; replace any damaged fasteners or insulation

This shield is a molded protective cover that guards internal appliance components from moisture and debris, helping prevent damage and maintain reliable operation. It fits into place to keep nearby parts shielded and aligned. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal components from water, grease, and small debris
• Helps direct moisture away from sensitive parts to reduce corrosion risk
• Prevents rubbing and wear between adjacent parts that can cause noise
• Aids proper alignment and sealing of nearby panels and assemblies

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair
• Inspect mounting tabs and surrounding seals; replace any damaged fasteners
• Snap or screw the shield into the existing mounting points without forcing
• Replace those components before reassembly

This control panel is the exterior console trim that houses and protects your appliance's user controls and display, restoring a finished look and reliable button access. Ideal when the panel is cracked, faded, or cosmetically damaged. What it does:

• Protects and supports the appliance's buttons, dials, and display
• Provides the visible interface users interact with to select cycles and settings
• Restores legible labeling and a finished appearance to the console area
• Addresses symptoms like cracked or loose panel, worn graphics, or broken button mounts

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Remove screws or clips securing the old console; handle trim pieces gently to avoid damage
• Transfer any necessary switches or overlays per the service manual if applicable

This cable tie secures wiring and the power cord to the appliance chassis to help prevent chafing, pinching, or loose connections. Simple, low-cost part that restores proper wire routing and strain relief. What it does

• Holds wiring and harnesses in place to prevent rubbing against sharp edges
• Helps reduce risk of intermittent power or connector strain caused by loose wires
• Keeps harnesses routed for correct clearance and component access
• Useful during repairs to restore original wire routing and strain relief

• One cable tie (wire harness retainer)

• Safety first: disconnect the appliance from power before inspecting or replacing wiring components
• Remove the damaged or existing retainer and route harnesses to match original OEM routing before installing the new tie
• Trim excess tie tail; do not overtighten—secure, but avoid crushing wires
• Replace any tie that's melted, cracked, or otherwise damaged rather than reusing it
