This washer is a small hardware spacer used in appliance assemblies to distribute load and maintain proper spacing under a fastener or rotating component. Replacing a worn or missing washer helps restore alignment, reduce noise, and keep parts secure.

• Distributes fastener load to protect mating surfaces
• Maintains spacing/alignment between components
• Can act as a thrust surface to reduce friction and wear
• Typical symptoms: looseness or wobble, scraping/squeaking noises, or parts that won't stay tight

• Disconnect power; shut off gas and/or water as applicable
• Note the order/orientation of washers, spacers, and clips during disassembly; take a photo for reference
• Inspect related parts (retainers, bushings) and replace if worn
• Tighten fasteners per manufacturer guidance; avoid overtightening and verify smooth operation after reassembly

This defrost thermostat senses the evaporator coil temperature and controls the defrost heater. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrosting to prevent heavy frost buildup and helps your refrigerator keep consistent, reliable cooling.

• Monitors evaporator temperature to allow the defrost heater to energize and to terminate the cycle as the coil warms
• Protects against overheating in the evaporator area during defrost
• Failure symptoms include frost/ice buildup on the evaporator cover, reduced airflow, fresh food section warming, or the unit not defrosting
• Typically mounts clipped to the evaporator tubing inside the freezer

• Disconnect power before servicing and remove the freezer's rear panel to access the evaporator
• Transfer the clip/bracket if present and mount the new thermostat in the same location, ensuring firm metal-to-metal contact with the evaporator tubing
• Route wires away from the heater and moving parts; secure connections and reassemble panels before restoring power
• Wear cut-resistant gloves—sheet-metal edges can be sharp

This heater clip secures the defrost heater in your refrigerator. Keeping the element properly positioned helps the defrost system work as designed and reduces rattling or damage from a loose or misaligned heater.

• Holds the defrost heater securely in place on its mounting point
• Helps maintain correct heater placement for consistent frost removal
• Replace if the clip is missing, broken, bent, or corroded
• Common symptoms include a loose/dangling heater, rattling noises, or recurring frost/ice around the evaporator area

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Access the defrost heater behind the freezer's rear panel; note the original clip orientation
• Install the new clip so the heater is seated and not contacting wiring or plastic; do not deform the element or coils
• Restore power and verify the heater is secured in place

This hinge cover replaces a damaged or missing hinge trim to protect and conceal the hinge assembly and restore the appliance's finished appearance. It fits over the hinge area and helps reduce dirt buildup and exposed hardware. What it does:

• Covers and protects hinge hardware, hiding screws and sharp edges
• Helps keep dirt, lint, and moisture out of the hinge area
• Restores the appliance's original, finished look
• Common symptoms: cracked, broken, or missing cover; exposed hinge hardware; cosmetic damage or debris buildup

• Refer to your model diagram for correct orientation and fastener locations
• Basic hand tools may be required; some models need the hinge loosened or partially removed
• Disconnect power and/or unplug the appliance before starting work when applicable
• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts; follow OEM instructions for reassembly

Size: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

This support mounts in the dispenser area to secure the ice housing assembly. It helps keep the chute and door properly aligned so ice dispenses smoothly and the opening seals as designed.

• Supports and positions the ice housing/chute assembly in the freezer door
• Helps maintain proper alignment and sealing of the ice door/flapper
• Reduces wobble or flex that can affect dispensing performance
• Typical signs it may be needed: loose or misaligned dispenser housing, ice or air leaking at the chute, frost buildup around the dispenser, inconsistent ice dispensing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the dispenser trim/control to access the housing; handle wiring and tabs carefully
• Remove mounting fasteners, replace the support, and transfer any reusable hardware
• Reassemble, restore power, and test ice dispensing and chute seal

This overload protector is a thermal motor protector that cuts power if the dryer motor overheats, helping prevent motor damage and unsafe operation. Replace a failed unit to restore the motor's built-in overheating protection. What it does:

• Senses excessive motor temperature and interrupts motor power to prevent damage.
• Common symptom: dryer may not start or the motor hums but won't turn when the overload has failed.
• Helps stop repeated motor overheating and can prevent associated electrical faults.
• Works as the motor's thermal safety device; must be replaced if open or damaged.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Transfer wiring and mounting exactly as removed; do not bypass the protector.
• Inspect motor and blower for obstructions or causes of overheating before reassembly.

Size: 8 x 1-1/4 inch.

The Ice Cube Tray is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This tray is designed to fit securely in the freezer compartment and is used to form and hold ice cubes. The tray ensures that ice cubes are consistently shaped and easily removable for everyday use. The tray measures about 8-1/2 inches wide by 11 inches deep.

Over time, ice cube trays can become damaged or worn due to repeated use, exposure to cold temperatures, or mishandling. Cracks or warping in the tray can lead to leaks or difficulties in removing the ice cubes.

Symptoms of a bad ice cube tray include:

• Cracked or broken sections
• Difficulty in removing ice cubes
• Leaks or water pooling in the freezer
• Misshapen or irregular ice cubes

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

This replacement mounting screw secures appliance panels and components to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. Use when a damaged or missing screw causes loose trim, gaps, or vibrating noises; order by part number to ensure a match. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or trim to keep parts aligned and secure.
• Stops vibration and rattling caused by loose or missing screws.
• Common symptoms: visible gaps, loose panels, hardware falling out, or excess noise.
• Use the part number and/or existing screw to ensure correct size and thread before ordering.

• Disconnect power and water before accessing internal components.

• Turn until snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack trim.
• Keep small parts away from children and pets during repair.

This bottom hinge shim installs at the refrigerator's lower door hinge to fine-tune door height and alignment. Replacing a worn or missing shim can help restore smooth closing and an even, reliable gasket seal.

• Spaces the door at the lower hinge to set proper height and alignment
• Helps reduce door sagging or rubbing against the cabinet or other door
• Can help the door gasket seal evenly to minimize warm-air leaks

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off the water supply
