This replacement screw secures refrigerator components such as brackets, trims, and covers. Replace missing or stripped hardware to keep parts tight and aligned, helping eliminate rattles and restoring a solid, reliable fit.

• Fastens interior or exterior components to the cabinet or doors
• Replaces missing, rusty, or stripped hardware
• Helps reduce vibration noises from loose parts
• Restores proper fit and alignment of panels, trims, or covers

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply if working near the dispenser or ice system
• Retain and reuse any original spacers or washers
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening

The defrost drain pan collects water that melts off the evaporator during automatic defrost and holds it near the warm compressor so it can evaporate. Replacing a damaged pan helps prevent leaks, puddles, and odors around the base of the refrigerator.

• Collects defrost water routed from the evaporator drain
• Positions water in warm airflow near the compressor for evaporation
• Replace if the pan is cracked, warped, missing, or leaking
• Symptoms can include water on the floor, moisture under the unit, or musty odors

• Unplug the refrigerator; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Pull the unit forward and remove the lower rear access panel to reach the pan near the compressor
• Lift out the old pan; transfer any reusable clips/brackets; seat the new pan under the drain tube and ensure it's level and clear of moving parts
• Reinstall the panel, restore power, and check for proper drainage and evaporation

This is the drive gear for the ice maker module. It transfers motor power to the ejector/harvest mechanism so cubes release consistently; worn or stripped teeth can cause clicking, stalls, or little to no ice production.

• Transfers motor torque to rotate the ejector and complete the harvest cycle
• Replaces a cracked, stripped, or worn gear that prevents proper ice ejection
• Typical symptoms: no ice production, icemaker stuck mid-cycle, clicking or grinding from the module
• Helps restore reliable ice maker cycling

• Unplug the refrigerator before service; turn off the water supply if moving the icemaker
• Remove the icemaker assembly for access; note the original gear's orientation before removal
• Align the new gear with the shaft; do not force it—inspect mating parts for wear
• After reassembly, verify the ejector turns freely; restore power and run a test cycle

This defrost heater warms the evaporator coil during the automatic defrost cycle to melt frost and ice, restoring airflow and consistent temperatures. Replace a failed heater to stop recurring frost buildup and uneven cooling. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator to clear frost/ice so air can circulate
• Helps maintain stable refrigerator and freezer temperatures
• Symptoms include heavy frost on the back freezer panel or coils, poor cooling, evaporator fan noise from ice contact, or frost returning soon after a manual defrost

• 1 defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove freezer shelves and the rear interior panel to access the evaporator area
• Transfer the heater into the original clips/brackets and route wiring exactly as original, away from sharp edges and the fan
• If frost returns after replacement, also test the defrost thermostat and the defrost control

• With power disconnected, the heater should show continuity on an ohmmeter; an open circuit indicates a failed element

This damper control knob fits the refrigerator's air damper. It attaches to the damper control so you can open or close airflow between the freezer and fresh food compartments when the original knob is cracked, stripped, or missing.

• Attaches to the damper control shaft to adjust airflow from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment
• Direct replacement for a knob that is broken, missing, or stripped
• Symptoms can include a loose or slipping control, difficulty turning, or settings that won't stay in place
• If the control can't be turned, temperature response to damper adjustments may be inconsistent

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; avoid prying to prevent damage
• Align the new knob with the shaft and press it on until fully seated
• Rotate through the full range to ensure smooth operation without forcing

This #10-32 x 3/4-inch machine screw secures appliance components such as panels, brackets, and handles. Using the correct length and thread helps restore a snug, rattle-free hold wherever this screw is specified by the manufacturer.

• Fastens components with a #10-32 machine thread and 3/4-inch length
• Helps keep panels, trim, brackets, or handles secured and aligned
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded hardware
• Common signs include loose or wobbly parts, rattling, missing screws, or damaged screw heads/threads

• Disconnect power before servicing; if working near a water connection, shut off the water supply
• Use the correct driver/bit and start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten to prevent stripping plastic or threads
• Reuse any model-specific washers or spacers if present

This turntable roller assembly sits under the glass tray to support and guide it as it rotates. Replacing a worn or damaged ring helps restore smooth tray movement for more even heating and dependable microwave performance.

• Supports the glass tray and allows smooth, consistent rotation
• Helps prevent tray wobble, binding, or scraping noises
• Can address issues like the tray not turning or uneven cooking
• Replaces cracked, warped, or missing roller rings

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the glass tray, lift out the old ring, and clean the cavity floor
• Place the new ring wheels-down, seat the tray on the coupler, and test rotation
• Do not operate the microwave without the roller ring and tray properly installed

This upper door hinge bearing serves as the low-friction bushing on the top hinge pin so the refrigerator door pivots smoothly. Replacing a worn bearing can stop squeaks and help restore level, easy-opening door operation.

• Provides a low-friction sleeve for the upper hinge pin to reduce wear
• Helps maintain door alignment with the cabinet for a consistent seal
• Common symptoms include squeaking or grinding, door rubbing or sagging, or the door not closing smoothly
• Physical signs include cracks, flattening, or oval-shaped wear in the bushing

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove items from the door
• Support the door; remove the top hinge cover and screws, then lift the door slightly
• Replace the worn upper hinge bearing on the hinge pin or bracket (design varies)
• Reinstall the hinge, align the door, and ensure proper gasket contact

This water connector links sections of the refrigerator's water supply tubing, maintaining a sealed path to the dispenser and ice maker. Replace a cracked or leaking connector to stop drips and restore reliable water flow and ice production.

• Connects sections of internal water tubing between components (inlet valve, filter, door, ice maker)
• Helps maintain a sealed route for proper dispenser and ice maker operation
• Common symptoms: water leaking behind/under the refrigerator, weak/no dispenser flow, ice maker not filling, visible damage at the fitting
• Direct-fit component built to OEM specifications for the intended application

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the household water supply before servicing
• Dispense water to relieve line pressure; place a towel to catch residual water
• Cut tubing ends square and fully insert into the connector until seated; tug gently to confirm engagement
• Restore water, check carefully for leaks, and recheck after the first dispense cycle
