This lock assembly secures the appliance door/lid and enables normal cycle starts by engaging the latch. Replaces a worn or broken lock to restore proper door closure and allow the unit to begin and complete cycles reliably. What it does

• Physically latches the door/lid so the appliance can start and run
• Provides the mechanical engagement the control checks before permitting operation
• Common symptom: door won't stay closed or latch does not engage
• Common symptom: appliance won't start, won't advance or shows a door/lock fault

• Disconnect power (and water supply for washers) before beginning any service
• Handle small parts carefully and note their orientation for reassembly
• If wiring is present, disconnect and reconnect matching connectors only; do not force

A thin replacement hinge shim that helps align and level the appliance door for a proper seal and smooth operation. Restores correct door spacing to reduce rubbing, uneven gaps, or misalignment. What it does:

• Centers and spaces the door at the hinge to correct misalignment and uneven gaps
• Helps doors close evenly and maintain a consistent seal
• Prevents rubbing or catching caused by out-of-position hinges
• Works with the hinge assembly to restore smooth opening and closing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Remove the door or open/secure it to access hinge area
• Slide or position shim between hinge surfaces as shown in OEM instructions; do not force or bend excessively
• Tighten fasteners to secure alignment, then verify door operation and seal

This overload is a thermal protection device that mounts on the motor/compressor and opens the circuit when excessive heat or current is detected. Replacing a weak or failed overload helps restore safe startup and protects the windings from damage. What it does:

• Monitors motor/compressor temperature and current draw
• Interrupts power on overheat/overload to prevent damage
• Aids troubleshooting of start/run issues when paired with the start device
• Common symptoms: hums then clicks off, won't start, intermittent shutdown, frequent tripping

• 1 thermal overload protector

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow components to cool
• Access the terminal area on the motor/compressor; remove any cover
• Note/photograph wire positions; transfer wires and fully seat the new overload on the correct terminal
• Inspect the start relay, capacitor, and terminals for heat damage; replace any compromised parts

This gate support is the structural bracket that stabilizes the gate or flap inside your appliance, keeping it aligned and moving freely. Replacing a worn support restores smooth operation and helps eliminate noise from loose or misaligned parts.

• Provides stable support for the gate/flap within the assembly
• Maintains correct alignment and clearance for smooth opening/closing
• Reduces excess movement that can cause rattling or rubbing
• Replace if the gate feels loose, binds, won't stay closed, or the support is cracked/broken

What's included: 1 gate support Install notes:

• Disconnect power; also turn off gas or water supply
• Allow the unit to cool and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the gate assembly and note fastener locations/orientation before removal
• Transfer existing hardware, secure the new support, and verify smooth gate movement before reassembly

This is a replacement key used to operate an appliance key-lock or keyed latch, restoring access and security when the original key is lost or damaged. It provides a simple, low-cost way to regain normal use without replacing the lock. What it does

• Fits the appliance's keyed lock or latch to lock and unlock doors, panels, or compartments.
• Restores access when the original key is missing, worn, or broken.
• Helps secure control panels or storage compartments that use a keyed mechanism.
• Useful as a spare to prevent downtime from a lost key.

• Typically installs by inserting into the lock; no special tools required.
• Do not force the key—if it won't turn, check alignment or inspect the lock.
• If accessing electrical panels, disconnect power before opening the service area.
