Rt18vkx1400 Parts

A small snap-in fastener designed to secure interior trim, panels, and lightweight components. It holds parts firmly in place to reduce movement and rattling for a cleaner, more stable fit. What it does:

• Secures plastic trim, access panels, and other non-structural components
• Keeps panels aligned and prevents vibration or rattling noises
• Replaces worn or broken retainers that allow trim to sag or fall away
• Used where a push-in, snap retention is required for a finished appearance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before working near electrical components
• Remove surrounding trim or panel to access the fastener; a trim tool or flat screwdriver may help
• Push the fastener into the mating hole until it snaps; ensure it seats fully
• Handle plastic retainers gently; replace any additional brittle or damaged clips for best results

This is a 8-15 x 2.00 in. hex washer head, self-locking screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It provides a durable, vibration-resistant fastener that helps keep parts aligned and stable. What it does:

• Fastens and secures panels, brackets, or assemblies to the appliance frame
• Self-locking design helps resist loosening from vibration or thermal cycling
• Hex washer head gives a larger bearing surface to prevent pull-through on thin materials
• Commonly replaced when screws are missing, stripped, or causing loose/rattling parts

• Use the correct driver/socket to avoid rounding the hex head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or damage components
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working inside the unit
• Replace any stripped or damaged mating hardware for secure fastening

This formed condenser assembly moves heat away from the refrigeration system to help your appliance maintain proper cooling. A direct-fit replacement when the original condenser is bent, corroded, or no longer transferring heat effectively. What it does:

• Provides the metal pathway for refrigerant to release heat from the system
• Helps maintain proper compressor and cooling performance
• Replace if coils are dented, crushed, corroded, or blocking airflow
• Address symptoms like higher-than-normal internal temperatures or increased compressor run time

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Handle edges carefully; condenser fins and tubing can be sharp and easily damaged
• If refrigerant lines must be opened or brazed, perform the service
• Fit and mounting hardware before installation; follow OEM diagram for proper routing
