This bimetal defrost thermostat controls power to the evaporator defrost heater. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrost cycling, helping prevent ice buildup on the coils and safeguarding the unit from overheating during defrost.

• Senses evaporator coil temperature and opens/closes the defrost heater circuit
• Protects against overheating by cutting heater power when the coil warms
• Works with the control/timer to complete the defrost cycle
• Common symptoms: heavy frost on the freezer back panel/evaporator, warming temperatures after several days, or a defrost heater that won't energize

• Disconnect power; remove freezer shelves and the rear panel to access the evaporator
• The thermostat is typically clipped to the evaporator tubing—note placement/orientation before removal
• Make secure electrical connections and route wires away from sharp edges and the fan
• Reassemble, restore power, and operate the defrost system properly

This small bushing fits over the hinge cam to guide the door's swing. Replacing a worn thimble restores smooth movement and alignment so the door opens and closes consistently and helps maintain a proper seal. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction bearing surface between the hinge pin and cam
• Helps control door swing and detent/self-close action
• Supports proper door alignment to reduce rubbing or sagging
• Symptoms may include popping/clicking, grinding, binding, uneven closing, or a door that doesn't fully close

• 1 door hinge cam thimble

• Disconnect power and remove items from the door before servicing
• Support the door; remove hinge cover/fasteners and lift the door off the hinge
• Replace the thimble on the hinge/cam, matching the original orientation and fully seating it
• Inspect the mating cam and hinge surfaces; replace worn parts as needed and verify gasket seal after reassembly

This axle roller is the replacement support shaft that lets the appliance's rotating assembly turn smoothly and quietly. Installing a new axle roller corrects wobble and reduces grinding or squealing caused by a worn shaft. What it does:

• Supports the rotating drum or rack so it spins freely and stays aligned
• Helps prevent metal-to-metal contact that causes loud noise or scraping
• Stops uneven rotation and vibration that can lead to further wear
• Restores smooth operation when an original axle is bent, worn, or broken

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Access location and removal steps vary by model; follow the OEM service manual or diagram
• Inspect related parts (pulleys, idler, glides, bearings) and replace if they show wear
• Use basic hand tools; keep fingers and loose clothing clear of moving parts during testing

The cover-unit protects the appliance's control console and provides a finished appearance. It shields buttons, knobs and internal control components from dust, moisture and incidental damage so controls stay usable and the cabinet looks complete. What it does:

• Covers and protects the control console and the underlying control assembly
• Helps prevent debris and moisture from reaching buttons, switches and electronic components
• Restores the appliance's finished look when the original cover is cracked, broken or missing
• Keeps controls stable and reduces the chance of accidental contact or damage

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove any trim or console fasteners before replacing the cover
• Handle carefully to avoid scratching the finish; use proper fasteners and align tabs during reassembly
• If controls or wiring are exposed or damaged, inspect wiring and control components.

This coupling is the small connector that links a drive motor to its mating component, transferring rotation so the appliance operates smoothly. Replacing a cracked or stripped coupling restores reliable drive and helps prevent further wear.

• Connects the motor shaft to the driven part to transmit torque
• Maintains alignment to reduce wobble and slippage
• Failure signs can include no movement, intermittent operation, clicking/grinding, or visible cracks/rounding
• Restores consistent motion of the connected part once replaced

• Disconnect power (and shut off water/gas if applicable) before servicing
• Access the drive area and remove any covers/tray/drive components as needed
• Pull the old coupling straight off the keyed or D-shaped shaft; clean and inspect the shaft
• Align and press the new coupling fully onto the shaft, reassemble, and test
