This is a grommet and it is intended for use on refrigerators and freezers. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. A new grommet might be needed if the current one is visibly worn out or damaged in any way. If there are noises from vibration coming from the lower back area of the fridge there might be need for a new grommet. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. It is compatible with refrigerators and freezers, or units with a compressor and is made by General Electric.

This SCR 8-18 silicon-controlled rectifier replaces the control semiconductor that switches and regulates power to heating or motor circuits in compatible appliances, restoring proper power delivery and control. It's a direct-fit electrical replacement part. What it does

• Acts as a switching device on control boards to allow or block current flow when signaled.
• Regulates power delivered to heating elements or motor circuits to enable proper operation.
• Commonly linked to symptoms like no heat or intermittent heating, motors that won't start, or erratic control-board behavior.
• Helps restore reliable on/off control when a failed SCR is causing open or shorted conditions.

• One SCR 8-18 silicon-controlled rectifier (WD02X10160).

• Always disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid shock.
• Handle the part carefully; avoid touching leads and use anti-static precautions if available.
• Inspect surrounding connectors and wiring for damage; replace any corroded terminals.

The Wire Tie is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is used to secure and organize internal wiring, ensuring that wires remain properly positioned and do not interfere with the operation of the dryer. This part plays an important role in preventing wires from becoming tangled, pinched, or damaged during the dryer’s cycles.

Over time, the wire tie can become worn out, broken, or damaged due to prolonged exposure to heat, vibrations, or wear from normal use. A compromised wire tie can lead to loose or unsecured wiring, which may impact the performance of the dryer or cause electrical issues.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Wire Tie include:

• Loose or unsecured internal wiring
• Interference with dryer components during operation
• Electrical malfunctions or short circuits
• Wires appearing frayed or damaged due to improper support

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This 10-32 hex washer screw secures panels and components in appliances, providing a reliable fastener that helps keep parts aligned and vibration-free during operation. Designed for a snug fit in threaded appliance mounting holes. What it does:

• Fastens control panels, brackets, and assemblies to appliance frames
• Holds components tight to prevent rattling or movement during use
• Replaces stripped, missing, or corroded mounting screws
• Works where a 10-32 threaded connection and washer-style head are required

• One 10-32 hex washer screw

• Use the correctly sized 10-32 driver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten; snug until secure to prevent thread damage
• Replace with the exact screw type to maintain proper fit and grounding where applicable
• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing panels or working near electrical components

This 1/4-20 locking hex nut secures threaded fasteners and resists loosening from vibration, keeping appliance panels and components firmly in place. It's a simple, durable fastener used where a reliable hold is needed. What it does:

• Threads onto 1/4-20 bolts or studs to hold parts together
• Locking feature helps prevent nuts from backing off under vibration
• Commonly used to secure panels, brackets, and internal components
• Symptoms of failure: loose panels, rattling, or parts that shift or separate

• Use the correct 1/4-20 bolt or stud and matching thread engagement
• Tighten with the appropriate wrench; avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage
• Inspect mating threads for wear or damage before reuse
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety guidelines when accessing fasteners

This is a replacement 10-32 x 3/8" pan-head screw for fasteners used in appliances. It restores secure fastening for panels, brackets, and trim where the original screw has stripped or gone missing. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or components where a 10-32 thread is required
• Restores proper fit when original screw is worn, damaged, or missing
• Helps eliminate rattles or movement from loose fasteners
• Small fastening solution for repairs on appliance interiors and exterior trim

• One 10-32 x 3/8" pan-head screw

• Use the correct size screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten; torque gently until snug to prevent thread or component damage
• Replace like-for-like with the same thread size and length for proper fit
• Wear safety glasses when working near sharp sheet metal or springs

A small machine screw used to fasten appliance panels and components. This 10-32 x 7/16 screw secures assemblies and replacement parts so panels and brackets stay properly mounted during normal operation. What it does:

• Fastens small panels, brackets, and assemblies that use a 10-32 thread
• Replaces missing or stripped mounting screws to stop rattling and loose parts
• Helps maintain proper alignment of fitted components
• Used where a short 7/16" length is required for a flush fit

• Unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct sized screwdriver or nut driver for 10-32 threads
• Hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading, then snug—do not overtighten
• If threads are damaged, replace with correct fastener; avoid forcing the screw

This clip spring secures the thermal cutoff (TCO) or thermal fuse in place to help maintain proper contact and reliable temperature sensing. It's a simple replacement that restores secure mounting for safe heater operation. What it does:

• Holds the TCO/thermal fuse firmly against the heater assembly or mounting bracket to ensure accurate temperature sensing
• Prevents the TCO from shifting or losing contact during normal operation
• Can resolve intermittent heating or safety trips caused by a loose or missing clip
• Small, durable metal clip designed for direct OEM fit and placement

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Install using appropriate small pliers; avoid overstressing the clip or surrounding components
• If the TCO or thermal fuse shows damage or has opened, replace the TCO/fuse rather than relying on the clip alone

This mastic thermal sensor detects oven temperature and helps the control board monitor and regulate heat for safe, consistent cooking. It's a direct-replacement temperature sensing element used where a mastic-mounted sensor is required. What it does:

• Senses appliance temperature and sends a signal to the control module for temperature regulation
• Helps prevent overheating by allowing the control to reduce heat when temperatures exceed set points
• Commonly replaced when an oven runs too hot, won't reach set temperature, or shows temperature-related errors
• Designed for mastic- or adhesive-style mounting to maintain stable thermal contact

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the sensor and lead wires carefully; avoid kinking or stressing the sensing element
• Install in the same orientation and mounting location as the original to ensure proper temperature readings

This tube insulation sleeve protects appliance tubing from condensation, freezing, and heat transfer to keep systems running efficiently. It's a simple replacement that helps stop drips, freezing, and excess moisture on exposed pipes. What it does:

• Provides thermal insulation to reduce heat gain or loss through tubing
• Helps prevent condensation and water pooling on exterior pipe surfaces
• Reduces risk of freezing on cold lines in low-temperature areas
• Lowers vibration/noise where tubing rubs against panels or brackets
• Recommended when existing insulation is cracked, torn, or missing

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before working on the appliance
• Slide the sleeve over the tube; trim to length with scissors if needed
• Ensure a snug fit and avoid compressing the material tightly over the tubing
• Secure with zip ties or approved tape only if specified by the manufacturer
