Door gasket seals your refrigerator to maintain temperature and efficiency. Replace if torn, cracked, or not sealing properly. Confirm fit with model.

This oven door gasket creates a tight seal between the oven cavity and door to help maintain consistent cooking temperatures and improve energy efficiency. It replaces a worn or torn seal to reduce heat loss and prevent smoke or odors from escaping. What it does

• Seals the oven door to help keep heat inside the oven cavity during cooking
• Helps maintain even cooking temperatures and improves energy efficiency
• Reduces heat, smoke and odors escaping into the kitchen when the oven is in use
• Restores a close-fitting door closure if the old gasket is cracked, flattened or missing

• One oven door gasket as shown

• High-level replacement: usually stretches into a channel or secures with clips; follow your model's service instructions
• Ensure the oven is completely cool and disconnected from power before attempting replacement
• Inspect the door and channel for debris or damage and clean prior to installing the new gasket

Excessive frost buildup in your freezer? This bimetal defrost thermostat monitors evaporator coil temperature to control defrost cycles. Easy DIY fix.

Secures panels, trim, and wire harnesses in your refrigerator to reduce vibration and rattling. Replace when clips break or parts become loose. Confirm fit with your model number before ordering.

Replace a cracked or damaged evaporator cover causing frost buildup or temperature issues in your freezer. Simple DIY fix for many models.

This terminal cover protects the appliance's power connection area, keeping wiring and terminals enclosed to reduce shock and short risks. It's a direct-replacement trim piece that restores the factory protective barrier around the terminal block. What it does:

• Covers and shields the terminal block where the power cord connects, helping prevent accidental contact.
• Helps reduce the risk of shorting or arcing at exposed power connections.
• Addresses symptoms like visible exposed terminals, loose or unprotected wiring at the power entry area, or a missing/broken cover.
• Restores the appliance's intended safety enclosure after repair or shipping damage.

• One terminal cover

• Always disconnect all power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing the terminal block.
• Remove the old cover and position the replacement over the terminal area so mounting holes align; secure with the original screw(s).
• Inspect terminal screws and wiring for tightness and damage while cover is off; do not attempt electrical repairs.
• If terminals or wiring are damaged, replace or repair those components before reinstalling the cover.

Compressor won't start or stops running? This thermal overload protector prevents motor overheating by cutting power when temperatures exceed safe limits.

Fix a warm freezer or ice buildup with this condenser coil. Essential cooling component for restoring proper temperature. Moderate DIY repair.

Replacement mounting screw for freezers and refrigerators. Secures internal components and panels. Order a new screw if original is stripped or missing.

This evaporator block is a molded insulation piece that helps direct airflow and limit frost build-up around the evaporator in refrigerator freezers. Replacing a damaged or missing block restores proper airflow paths and helps maintain consistent cooling. What it does:

• Fits around the evaporator to insulate and channel cold air through the correct passages.
• Limits excessive frost accumulation on the evaporator coil by closing unwanted gaps.
• Helps maintain even temperatures in the freezer compartment for reliable cooling.
• Can reduce cycling issues and improve overall fridge performance when original insulation is compromised.

• One evaporator insulation block

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock.
• Defrost and remove accumulated ice from the evaporator area before installing the new block.
• Remove evaporator cover/panels as needed; handle the block gently to avoid tearing molded foam.
• Reassemble panels and restore power; check for proper airflow and ice/frost levels after a full defrost cycle.
