• Inspect surrounding wiring and connectors; replace any damaged wires or terminals
• Typically secures with factory clips or fasteners—use OEM fasteners where required

This genuine replacement screw secures appliance panels and components for reliable operation. Use it to replace stripped, missing, or corroded fasteners and restore proper fit and alignment for safe appliance use. What it does

• Secures panels, brackets, and small components to restore proper alignment and reduce vibration
• Replaces stripped or missing fasteners that can cause loose parts or rattling
• Helps maintain safe electrical and mechanical connections by holding components in place
• Works wherever the original matching screw was used on the appliance

• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repair
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid cam-out and head damage
• Tighten securely but avoid overtightening to prevent stripping threads or cracking plastic
• If threads are damaged, replace mating hardware or use appropriate repair inserts rather than forcing the screw

Noise suppression kit. Mostly used on evaporator.

This retainer clip secures the appliance axle in place to keep rotating parts aligned and running smoothly. Replacing a worn or broken clip helps reduce noise, vibration and drivetrain misalignment for reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds the axle/shaft in position to prevent lateral movement and maintain alignment
• Prevents excessive play that can cause noise, vibration or uneven wear
• Helps keep connected components (drum/rotor/wheel) tracking correctly
• Commonly replaced when clipped, bent or missing after repair or wear

• Disconnect power before starting any repair
• Removal may require pliers or a small punch to release the old clip; reinstall by snapping into the axle groove
• Inspect mating shaft and housing for wear or damage before installing the new clip

This OEM grease is a purpose-made appliance lubricant that reduces friction and protects moving parts for smoother operation and longer component life. Use where specified by the manufacturer for bearings, slides, or motor shafts. What it does:

• Lubricates gears, bearings, rollers and shafts to reduce wear and noise
• Helps prevent binding, seizing, and grinding on moving components
• Protects metal parts from corrosion where grease is specified
• Keeps parts moving smoothly under normal operating temperatures

• Disconnect power before servicing any appliance; follow manufacturer service instructions
• Apply sparingly to clean, dry surfaces; avoid over-greasing which can attract debris
• Wear gloves and wipe excess grease from surrounding areas to prevent staining

This fan mounting bracket secures the evaporator/condenser fan assembly and helps direct airflow for consistent cooling performance. It restores proper fan alignment and airflow when the original bracket is damaged or loose. What it does:

• Holds the fan motor/blade assembly in the correct position to prevent wobble and contact with housing
• Channels airflow for efficient heat exchange and temperature control
• Reduces vibration and noise caused by a broken or bent bracket
• Helps prevent fan-related contact damage to nearby components

• Inspect surrounding components for damage before installing; replace any worn fasteners
• Use appropriate hand tools; avoid overtightening to prevent cracking the bracket
• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid injury

Sealer for refrigerant line insulation.

This bracket is a factory-design mounting support that secures internal components in place for stable operation and alignment. It helps keep parts seated correctly to reduce noise and prevent component movement. What it does:

• Provides structural support for internal assemblies and panels
• Holds components in correct alignment to maintain proper operation
• Helps reduce rattling or vibration caused by loose parts
• Compatible where the OEM bracket W10174827 is specified

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct fasteners and torque as specified by the manufacturer
• Wear safety gloves and eye protection to avoid cuts on sharp edges

This reservoir is the molded water tank that stores and directs water inside the appliance, ensuring steady supply to the dispenser and ice-making system. Replaces a cracked, leaking, or damaged tank to restore proper water delivery. What it does:

• Holds and routes water used by the dispenser and ice system
• Prevents leaks when intact; cracks or damage can cause visible water under or around the appliance
• Replacing a failed reservoir can stop intermittent dispenser flow or slow ice production caused by leaks or loss of pressure
• Works with factory fittings and tubing to maintain correct water path and alignment

• 1 reservoir

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting work
• Handle the plastic tank carefully to avoid cracking fittings or mounting tabs
• Inspect and replace any damaged gaskets, clips, or tubing when installing
• After installation, reconnect water, check for leaks, and run the dispenser/ice cycle to verify proper operation
