Msx246rxa Parts

This dispenser crank links the dispenser solenoid and the ice chute door. When you press the dispenser lever, the crank pivots to open and close the ice door so cubes or crushed ice can dispense cleanly without warm air leaking into the freezer.

• Connects the solenoid to the ice chute door to control door movement
• Helps seal the chute when not dispensing to reduce frost and moisture issues
• Common failure signs include ice door not opening/closing, constant frost around chute, or warm/moist air leakage at dispenser
• Can cause ice clumping, frost buildup, or water/ice dispensed irregularly when worn or broken

• Disconnect power before servicing the dispenser area
• Access typically requires removing the dispenser front panel and trim; use care with plastic tabs and wiring
• Note linkage orientation to the solenoid and door flap before removal
• Inspect related parts for wear while open

Black. 8-18 AB HXW 3/8

This screw fastens appliance panels, brackets, and trim so parts stay secure and aligned. Replace a missing, stripped, or rusty screw to stop rattles and restore a tight, factory fit.

• Secures covers, brackets, and trim to the appliance cabinet or liner
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded hardware
• Helps reduce vibration noise and loose or misaligned parts
• Maintains proper fit of guards, kickplates, or internal panels

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply if working near water lines
• Match to the original fastener to size and thread
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly, not excessively
• If threading into plastic, avoid overtightening to prevent damage

This clamp secures small hoses or tubing and nearby wiring inside the appliance to keep lines held in place and reduce rubbing, leaks, or vibration noise. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore proper hose routing and stability. What it does:

• Holds water, drain or vent tubing securely to prevent sagging and rubbing that can cause leaks or wear
• Keeps hoses and wires aligned to reduce vibration and rattling during operation
• Helps maintain proper connections at fittings so seals stay seated and drip risk is minimized
• Simple mechanical clip action — no special tools or adhesives required

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair
• Remove the old clamp and install this clamp in the same orientation; tubing sits fully in the fitting
• Use standard pliers (or the OEM-recommended tool) to compress/seat the clamp; avoid twisting or pinching the tubing
• Inspect surrounding tubing and fittings for wear; replace damaged hoses or seals if found

This replacement 5/16-inch icemaker tubing carries water to the ice maker. It helps restore proper flow and reduce leaks when the original line becomes brittle, cracked, or kinked, improving ice production reliability. What it does:

• Carries water from the inlet valve to the icemaker
• Replaces tubing that is brittle, cracked, or kinked
• Helps restore normal icemaker fill and ice production
• Can help stop leaks caused by a damaged water line

• 1 icemaker water tube (5/16 in.)

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel or container to catch residual water during line removal
• Route the new tube along the original path; avoid sharp bends and hot or moving components
• Tighten all fittings, restore water, and check all connections for leaks before powering on

Nut for 1/4 inch tubing.

This evaporator fan blade mounts on the fan motor and circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and throughout the compartments. Replacing a cracked, warped, or loose blade restores proper airflow and stable temperatures.

• Moves air across the evaporator to distribute cooled air evenly
• Helps maintain consistent refrigerator and freezer temperatures
• Common symptoms include weak or no airflow, warm spots, frost buildup on the evaporator cover, and rattling/scraping noises
• Replace if the blade is damaged or spins loosely on the motor shaft

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove shelves/bins and the rear evaporator cover to access the fan
• Note blade orientation and seating depth; pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft
• Press the new blade on until fully seated; verify free spin and proper clearance before reassembly

Includes 12 retainer rings.

This cable clamp secures refrigerator wiring to the cabinet, keeping harnesses organized and protected. Replacing a missing or damaged clamp helps prevent chafing and vibration noise while maintaining proper clearance from fans and other moving components.

• Anchors wire harnesses in their designed routing
• Helps prevent insulation wear from rubbing or vibration
• Keeps wires clear of sharp edges and moving parts
• Common signs it's needed: missing/broken clamp, loose or dangling wires, or new rattling/buzzing noises

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the clamp location and note original wire routing
• Position the clamp and secure with the existing fastener; do not overtighten
• Ensure wires aren't pinched and have clearance from the fan/compressor before restoring power

This solenoid saddle is a small mounting bracket that secures a refrigerator solenoid in the correct position. By preventing movement and misalignment, it helps the linked mechanism engage smoothly and consistently.

• Secures the solenoid to its housing or frame to prevent shifting
• Maintains proper alignment for reliable actuation
• A worn or broken saddle can cause buzzing/chattering and intermittent operation
• Restores stable mounting to help the connected mechanism work correctly

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if working near water lines
• Access the solenoid assembly and note the original saddle's orientation
• Transfer the solenoid into the new saddle and reuse existing fasteners/clips
• Smooth operation before reassembling panels

Size: 10-16 ab.

Includes 12 screws. Size: 8-18 ab.

This replacement screw is used in refrigerators to fasten specific components. Replace a lost or damaged fastener to restore a secure, factory hold so brackets, panels, or covers stay properly mounted and rattle-free.

• Secures the designated component per your model's parts diagram
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded hardware
• Helps eliminate looseness, vibration, or rattling from unsecured parts
• Supports proper alignment and fit after service

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Match this screw to the original location using your model's parts diagram
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Use the correct driver for the screw head style

This freezer door light switch turns the interior freezer light on and off when the door opens and closes, restoring proper illumination so you can see contents clearly and avoid wasting food. What it does:

• Activates the freezer interior light when the door opens; deactivates it when the door closes.
• Replaces a worn, stuck or intermittent switch that causes the light to stay on, not turn on, or flicker.
• Fits into the door or cabinet frame mounting and connects to the existing wiring harness for direct replacement.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to prevent shock.
• Typically snaps into place and connects to the factory wiring harness; no special parts required.

Replacement bucket seal that fits around the refrigerator ice bucket to restore a snug fit and help keep ice contained while reducing frost, spills and water pooling. What it does

• Seals the ice bucket to the cabinet/shelf to help keep ice from spilling or shifting.
• Reduces frost build-up and melting around the ice bin area.
• Helps prevent minor water pooling from melting ice.
• Restores proper fit so the bucket sits flush and operates as intended.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Remove the ice bucket and carefully peel out the old seal; clean the mounting surface of ice, debris and residue.
• Press the new seal into place, making sure it is fully seated and oriented correctly around the bucket.
