This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.

This freezer door gasket creates the seal between the freezer door and cabinet to help retain cold air and reduce frost buildup. Replacing a worn or damaged gasket restores a proper seal and helps maintain consistent freezer performance. What it does:

• Forms an airtight seal around the freezer door to help keep cold air in and reduce ice buildup.
• Addresses common symptoms such as visible gaps or cracks in the seal, excessive frost/ice, or a door that doesn't close flush.
• Matches the OEM sealing profile to restore correct fit and function.
• Helps the freezer maintain stable temperatures when the door seal is intact.

• Disconnect power and remove food/ice from the freezer before beginning work.
• Clean the gasket channel/mating surface and remove the old gasket completely before installing the new one.
• Installation methods vary by model (press-in, retainer clips, or adhesive); for exact instructions.
• After installation, inspect door alignment and test closing to ensure a uniform seal.

This defrost timer assembly cycles the refrigerator between cooling and defrost modes to prevent excess frost buildup and help maintain consistent temperatures. Replace a failed timer to restore regular defrost scheduling and reduce icing. What it does:

• Advances the refrigerator between cooling and defrost cycles on a timed schedule.
• Stops missed defrosts that can cause frost buildup on the evaporator and reduced cooling efficiency.
• Addresses symptoms such as excessive frost/ice, inconsistent temperatures, or a freezer that runs constantly.
• Acts as the control that engages the defrost heater and returns the unit to cooling when the cycle finishes.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Access the timer via the control panel or rear service area; document wiring or take photos before disconnecting.
• Install the timer in the same orientation and reconnect wires to the original terminals; do not force connectors.

This replacement fan blade mounts to the fan motor to move air through the system, restoring proper airflow and helping maintain stable temperatures while reducing unwanted noise and vibration. What it does:

• Attaches to the fan motor shaft to circulate air through the appliance
• Drives airflow across coils and compartments to support proper cooling
• Helps maintain even temperatures and stable performance
• Common symptoms include rattling/whirring noises, weak airflow, warm spots, or wobbling due to a cracked or warped blade

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the fan housing; remove any guards/shrouds as needed
• Transfer and reuse the existing retainer/clip or fastener and fully seat the blade on the motor shaft with correct orientation
• Spin by hand to ensure free clearance; reassemble and test for smooth, quiet operation

This nonmetal shim acts as a precise spacer/isolator within an appliance assembly to set correct clearance and alignment between parts. Replacing a worn or missing shim can reduce vibration, prevent rubbing, and help maintain smooth operation.

• Maintains proper spacing between mating parts to ensure correct alignment
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, and premature wear from parts contacting
• Nonmetal construction provides electrical isolation and resists corrosion
• Common signs of a bad/missing shim: scraping noises, visible misalignment, or excess play at the joint

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas supplies as applicable before servicing
• Match the new shim to the original thickness/position; some assemblies use multiple shims—reinstall in the same locations and order
• Clean mating surfaces and inspect related fasteners/brackets; replace any distorted hardware
• Tighten fasteners evenly to manufacturer specifications and verify smooth, interference-free movement after reassembly

This start relay controls power to the compressor's start winding so the refrigerator can start and run. Replacing a weak or burned relay restores dependable compressor start-up and can stop repeated clicking with warming temperatures.

• Energizes the compressor's start winding to provide initial torque, then disengages from the circuit
• Common failure symptoms: refrigerator not cooling or intermittently warm; compressor hums/clicks and won't start; relay rattles, smells burnt, or shows heat damage; overload trips
• Helps prevent hard-start conditions that stress the compressor
• The relay contacts are open/shorted, the compressor may fail to start and cycle off on overload

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate PPE
• Access the rear machine compartment; remove the relay cover on the compressor. Note wire positions, pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins, transfer wires, and fully seat the new relay in the same orientation
• If equipped, safely discharge the run capacitor; inspect the overload, wiring, and terminals for heat damage and address as needed
• Reinstall the cover. If the compressor still won't start, further diagnosis of the start device, capacitor, or compressor is required
