The speed nut (also referred to as a condenser motor fan nut), fits onto the condenser fan motor.

If the nut is damaged and refuses to tighten, you should replace the part immediately. Remember to unplug your refrigerator before starting this repair.

Ice machine grid cutter had failed. All necessary was to pull old one and replace with new one. Hardest part was to remove the cover face plate on the front of grid cutter. The rest was a piece of cake. Now my ice machine works perfect and produces a ton of ice quickly and nicely.
