This water inlet valve assembly controls the flow of water into the appliance, restoring proper supply to the ice maker and dispenser when the original valve fails. Installing a correct replacement helps stop leaks and fix low or no-water symptoms. What it does:

• Regulates water flow from the house supply to the appliance's water system and ice maker
• Opens and closes to allow water only when the dispenser or ice maker calls for it
• Common symptoms of a failing valve: no water, slow water flow, intermittent flow, or water leaking at the valve
• Works with the appliance's electrical control signals to cycle water delivery safely

• Turn off power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair
• Inspect and tighten plumbing connections; test for leaks after reconnecting the water and power

This rotary on/off switch controls the dryer's Finish Guard (also called Wrinkle Guard/Wrinkle Shield) feature. Replacing it restores proper control of the post-cycle intermittent tumbling that helps reduce wrinkles, preventing the feature from being stuck on or off.

• Provides 2-position on/off selection for the Finish Guard/Wrinkle Guard function
• Failure can cause the feature not to engage or to stay on after the cycle ends
• Knob may feel loose or fail to click when the switch is worn
• Mounts in the control console and interfaces with the external selector knob

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access through the control console; remove paneling as needed
• Transfer wires one at a time or photograph connections for reference
• Reinstall using the existing knob and mounting hardware

• Helps maintain alignment of doors, consoles, or covers
• Restores a tight fit to reduce rattling, vibration, or shifting
• Common symptoms: missing screw, stripped head/threads, loose panel or handle, recurring vibration/noise

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas/water if applicable) before servicing
• Match thread and length to the original fastener for proper fit
• Start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver
• Do not overtighten into plastic or thin sheet metal

• Remove any trim or access panels per the service instructions to access handle fasteners.
• Keep original screws and small parts; use the OEM diagram to confirm orientation and placement.
• Do not overtighten fasteners—snug only to avoid cracking the handle.

This socket is an electrical connector that secures a wiring plug to an appliance component, restoring reliable contact and reducing intermittent power or component failures caused by a worn or damaged connector. What it does:

• Provides a stable electrical connection between wiring and the appliance component.
• Ensures consistent power transfer to control boards, motors or heating elements.
• A faulty socket can cause intermittent operation, loss of function, arcing, or a component that does not receive power.
• Replacing a corroded or loose socket can eliminate connection-related faults without replacing the whole assembly.

• Always disconnect power (and gas where applicable) before attempting any repair.
• Take a photo or label wires before removing the old socket to ensure correct reassembly.
• Replace only with the exact part; do not force connectors—ensure proper seating and secure fasteners.
• If you see damaged wiring, melted insulation, or signs of arcing, inspect and repair wiring harness.

This control panel is the exterior console that houses the washer/dryer controls and user interface, restoring a clean, functional front for the appliance. It replaces a damaged or worn panel to improve operation and appearance. What it does:

• Provides the mounting surface and openings for knobs, buttons, and display elements
• Protects internal control components from dust and debris
• Restores correct alignment of user controls and labels for reliable operation
• Helps resolve issues caused by cracked, warped, or cosmetically damaged panels

• One control panel assembly as shown

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Handle carefully to avoid scratching the finish and damaging clips or mounting tabs
• Some disassembly of the top or front may be required; follow OEM instructions
• If the panel contains attached switches or overlays, verify connectors are secure before reassembly

This motor base is the replacement support that secures and positions the dryer motor assembly, helping restore stable alignment and minimize excess noise or vibration during operation. What it does:

• Supports and mounts the motor to the appliance chassis to keep the motor properly aligned
• Helps maintain correct spacing between the motor and drive components for smooth operation
• Reduces motor movement that can cause rubbing, vibration, or unusual noise
• Can address symptoms such as excessive vibration, banging, or misaligned motor movement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Follow the appliance's service manual or exploded parts diagram for correct removal and reassembly
• Use appropriate tools and take care with sharp sheet-metal edges
• Retain or transfer any original mounting hardware unless new fasteners are explicitly listed

This blower housing assembly directs airflow from the dryer's drum to the exhaust, helping the appliance vent properly for efficient drying. It replaces a damaged or cracked housing to restore correct air path and reduce airflow loss. What it does:

• Guides air from the drum to the blower wheel and exhaust vent for proper drying performance
• Supports and locates the blower wheel and related seals to maintain airflow integrity
• Can reduce or stop airflow issues like poor drying or extended cycle times when cracked or broken
• May resolve abnormal noise caused by a loose or damaged housing contacting the blower wheel

• One blower housing assembly

• Disconnect electrical power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before servicing
• Access typically requires removing the dryer cabinet or back panel; follow the OEM service manual
• Inspect the blower wheel and motor while replacing the housing; replace any worn components
