This fixed-value resistor is an electrical component used in select dryers to limit current in a specific control circuit. It helps the timer or electronic control operate correctly by dropping voltage to safe, design-intended levels.

• Provides precise resistance to reduce voltage/current in the designated dryer circuit
• Supports proper operation of the timer, control board, or end-of-cycle signal (varies by model)
• Failure may present as a timer that won't advance, an inoperative signal/buzzer, or irregular cycle behavior
• Replace if visibly burned/damaged or if testing shows an open or shorted condition

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the console/wiring harness and note original wire routing
• Make secure, insulated connections and route the resistor/leads exactly as original to avoid heat or chafing
• After installation, run a test cycle to ensure proper operation of the affected function

This water-level pressure switch monitors tub fill and signals the control to shut off the inlet valves and advance the cycle. Replacing a failed switch restores accurate filling and helps prevent overfilling or cycle stalls. What it does:

• Senses air pressure from the tub via the pressure hose to determine water level
• Signals the timer/control to stop filling when the set level is reached
• Enables the transition from fill to wash and subsequent cycles
• Common failure symptoms include continuous filling or overfilling, no fill, failure to advance from fill to wash, or water-level/pressure switch error codes

• 1 pressure switch

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Note wire locations and transfer connectors one at a time to the new switch
• Move the existing pressure hose to the new switch; ensure an airtight, kink-free connection and inspect the hose for cracks or blockages
• Mount securely and run a test fill to ensure proper shutoff before normal use

The Starter is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component is crucial for initiating the compressor, which is responsible for cooling the refrigerator. The starter works by providing the necessary electrical power to get the compressor running, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains the correct temperature.

Causes of a bad starter can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or damage from power surges. A faulty starter can prevent the compressor from starting, leading to cooling issues.

Symptoms of a bad Starter include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not running or frequently cycling on and off
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises from the compressor area
• The refrigerator being warmer than usual or food spoiling quickly

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This dryer temperature selector switch lets you choose between four heat settings for proper fabric care. Replacing a worn switch restores accurate temperature selection so loads dry evenly without overdrying delicate items.

• Restores reliable temperature selection and consistent drying results

• Unplug dryer before servicing; shut off gas if applicable
• Pull control knob straight off to access the switch
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch to maintain correct positions
• Ensure switch shaft and flat align with the knob during reassembly

This washer water level pressure switch senses air pressure from the tub and signals the control to stop the fill at the correct point, helping prevent overfilling and ensuring each cycle uses the right amount of water. What it does:

• Monitors tub water level via the air dome hose and internal diaphragm
• Sends signals to the control to open/close the inlet valves during fill
• Helps match water level to the selected or programmed setting
• Failure symptoms include overfilling/overflow, continuous filling, low or no fill, or cycles not advancing from the fill stage

• One pressure switch

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Access the console/control area; note wire and hose positions before removal
• Transfer the air tube and wiring to the new switch; seat the tube fully and ensure it isn't kinked, cracked, or clogged
• Reassemble and run a quick fill test to ensure the valve shuts off at the proper level

This washer lid switch signals that the lid is closed so the cycle can run. A failed switch can keep the washer from starting or spinning. Replacing it restores safe operation and consistent cycle performance.

• Senses lid position and enables operation only when the lid is closed
• Interrupts spin when the lid opens to meet safety interlock requirements
• Typical symptoms: washer won't start, won't spin, or stops when the lid is bumped
• Intermittent operation that improves when pressing or holding the lid closed

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow moving parts to stop completely
• Access the switch from the top/console area as directed for your model; note wire-harness orientation
• Secure the switch and ensure the lid strike aligns properly with the actuator
• After reassembly, run a spin test with the lid closed to verify operation

This replacement door switch restores proper door sensing in your refrigerator. It detects when the fresh food or freezer door opens and closes, turning interior lights on/off and signaling the control so door-ajar alerts and related features work correctly. What it does:

• Senses door position to control interior lighting
• Sends door status to the control in many models for features like door-ajar alerts or fan pause
• Helps prevent overheating near the light by ensuring it turns off when the door is closed
• Common symptoms of failure: no interior light, light stays on, flickering light, or persistent door-ajar alarm

• 1 door switch

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Carefully release the old switch from the cabinet opening and unplug the wire harness
• Connect the harness to the new switch, orient correctly, and snap or seat it fully in the opening
• Restore power and verify proper light operation and door-ajar indication
