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

This drain tube gasket seals the connection between the drain tube and its mating port to prevent leaks. A tight seal helps keep water where it belongs and protects surrounding components from moisture damage.

• Creates a watertight seal at the drain tube connection point
• Can help address water leaks around the drain area
• Deterioration, cracking, or hardening of the old gasket may cause seepage
• Replacing a worn gasket can restore proper leak prevention

• Unplug the appliance and shut off water supply before service
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water when disconnecting the tube
• Inspect the tube and mating surfaces; clean before installing the new gasket
• Do not overtighten fittings; verify a snug, even seal and check for leaks on first run

This hex-head sheet metal screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and trim for a tight, rattle-free fit. Replace missing or stripped fasteners to keep covers and components firmly in place and restore proper alignment.

• Fastens sheet-metal parts, brackets, and trim using a hex drive
• Replaces worn, rusted, missing, or stripped screws
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose panels
• Common signs you need this fastener: head or threads stripped, screw won't tighten, panel or handle coming loose

• Unplug the appliance before service; turn off water supply if working near water lines
• Use the correct nut driver or socket to avoid rounding the head
• Replace one fastener at a time to maintain alignment; do not overtighten
• Match screw type/length to the original location as specified by the manufacturer

This ice wiring harness restores a reliable electrical connection for the refrigerator's ice system, helping power and control ice production as designed. Replace damaged, brittle, or burned wiring to address intermittent operation or no-ice issues.

• Provides the electrical link for the ice/ice maker assembly
