This thermal fuse stops excessive heat by opening the circuit when temperatures get too high, protecting the appliance and its components. Replace a blown fuse to restore normal heating or safety shutdown functions. What it does:

• Acts as an over-temperature safety device to interrupt power when internal temps exceed safe limits
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as no heat, intermittent heating, or an appliance that won't start
• Prevents further damage by cutting power when a serious overheating condition occurs
• Functions as a single-use safety cutout—if it's open, it must be replaced

• One thermal fuse

• Disconnect power before testing or replacing; verify no voltage present
• Test continuity with a multimeter to confirm the fuse is open before replacing
• Replace with the same part number and rating; do not bypass or substitute with wire
• If the fuse failed, inspect the appliance for underlying issues before returning to service

A replacement hex-head screw used to secure appliance regulator brackets and similar small components. Restores proper fastener fit so panels and brackets stay firmly attached. What it does

• Fastens regulator bracket and related sheet-metal components
• Provides a secure threaded connection for components where an 8-18 thread is specified
• Helps eliminate looseness or rattling caused by a missing or damaged screw
• Matches the nickel/chrome finish commonly used on interior mounting locations

• One hex head screw (8-18 x 3/8), nickel finish

• Intended for use where an 8-18 x 3/8 hex screw is specified by the manufacturer
• Tighten to snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip sheet-metal threads
• Turn off power to the appliance before accessing internal components
• If the original screw used a lock washer or threadlocker, replace or reapply as appropriate

This rubber bumper cushions doors and panels to reduce noise, prevent metal-on-metal contact, and protect finishes for smoother, quieter operation. Replace worn or missing bumpers to help restore proper seating and reduce rattling. What it does:

• Absorbs shock between moving parts to prevent bangs and scratches
• Keeps doors and panels aligned for a tighter seal and quieter close
• Reduces vibration and rattling during operation
• Helps protect painted or plated surfaces from wear at contact points

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical hazard
• Typically a push-in or snap-in replacement; press into the original mounting hole until seated
• Inspect nearby bumpers and replace in matched sets if others are cracked or missing

This is a #8 screw, 0.500 inch long, used to secure panels and components in appliances. It provides a correct-fit fastener for repairs where the original #8 x 1/2" screw was required, restoring proper assembly and stability. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets and small components where a #8 x 1/2" screw is specified
• Holds parts securely to prevent rattling, gaps or loose panels
• Replaces worn, stripped or missing screws to restore proper fit
• Appropriate for common interior and exterior appliance mounting points

• Use the correct screwdriver (typically Phillips) and avoid over-tightening to prevent strip or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance manufacturer safety instructions when accessing internal parts

This hex flange nut secures components where a broader bearing surface is needed to resist loosening and distribute load. It fits 10-32 threaded studs and is used on fastened assemblies in appliances. What it does:

• Provides a secure threaded connection for 10-32 screws and studs
• Flange spreads clamping force to reduce panel or bracket damage
• Hex shape allows tightening with a wrench for a reliable hold
• Commonly replaces worn or missing nuts that cause loose panels or rattling

• One hex flange nut

• Use the correct 10-32 screw or stud and hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten with an appropriately sized wrench; do not overtighten to prevent thread or part damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety instructions before servicing
• Replace only like-for-like; confirm size and thread match your application

This Box & Wires Assembly replaces the fridge's boxed electrical junction and pre-wired harness to restore reliable power routing between components. It keeps internal wiring organized and protected for safe appliance operation. What it does:

• Provides a sealed junction box and factory-wired harness to connect multiple refrigerator components
• Routes power and signals so lights, controls, and accessories receive electrical feed
• Replaces damaged or burned wiring that can cause intermittent or complete loss of function
• Helps prevent exposed wires and loose connections that increase risk of shorts

• One box and pre-wired harness assembly as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Match wire colors and connector types to the original assembly; secure wiring and fasteners per OEM routing
• Do not splice or modify the harness; improper wiring can cause damage or safety hazards

This mounting bracket secures appliance components in place to restore stable operation and alignment. It's a simple, durable replacement that helps prevent loose parts and rattling for safer, quieter performance. What it does:

• Provides structural support for internal components and assemblies
• Holds panels, modules or hardware in correct alignment to prevent movement
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration noise, or loose-fitting parts
• Restores proper fit where a worn or broken bracket allowed misalignment

• Turn off power to the appliance and unplug before beginning work
• Remove only the panels or fasteners necessary to access the old bracket
• Reuse original fasteners or replace with equivalent-size hardware; tighten securely

This spacer positions and supports components to maintain proper alignment and clearance in the appliance. It prevents rubbing and ensures panels or parts sit correctly for reliable operation. What it does:

• Keeps panels, brackets or assemblies spaced correctly to prevent contact and wear
• Restores proper alignment to reduce vibration, noise or rubbing symptoms
• Maintains clearance for airflow or moving parts where specified
• Provides a stable mounting point for adjacent components

• One spacer

• Install in the location shown in the service diagram and secure with the original fasteners
• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service to avoid shock or injury
• If the original spacer shows damage or distortion, replace it to restore correct fit

Specs: 8 - 18 x 0.500

This padded washer is a cushioned fastener washer that helps protect surfaces and reduce vibration where a bolt or screw passes through. It cushions metal-to-metal contact and helps prevent damage and loosening. What it does:

• Cushions and protects mating surfaces from wear and scratching
• Dampens minor vibration and reduces noise around the fastening point
• Helps maintain a secure connection by filling gaps and distributing load
• Commonly used where a soft barrier is needed between a fastener and equipment panel

• One padded washer

• Inspect the washer for damage or compression before reuse; replace if deteriorated
• Position the padded side toward the surface that needs protection
• Use the correct bolt or screw size for a snug fit; avoid over-tightening which can compress the pad
• Follow all safety precautions: unplug power and remove water supply before servicing appliances
