Parts for Maytag MBF2256HEW: 02 - Compressor (Series 10) Parts

Refrigerator runs warm or freezer not cooling properly? The condenser fan motor circulates air over the coils. DIY repair takes 15-60 minutes with basic tools.

Cushions refrigerator components at mounting points to reduce vibration and rattling. Replace if worn, cracked, or missing to restore quiet operation.

Fix a refrigerator that's not cooling properly with a new condenser fan blade. Restores airflow across condenser coils for consistent temperatures.

Refrigerator not cooling or humming without starting? The compressor pumps refrigerant to cool your fridge. Requires EPA certification for install.

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component helps to kickstart the compressor, facilitating the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge. 

Such issues can stem from electrical failures within the relay, physical damage, or wear and tear from regular use. When the relay does not function correctly, it can lead to inconsistent cooling and, in severe cases, cause the compressor to overheat and fail prematurely.

Symptoms of a failing Compressor Start Relay include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
• A noticeable clicking sound emanating from the back of the refrigerator, indicating the relay is trying to start the compressor but failing
• The refrigerator starts and stops frequently, unable to maintain a constant temperature

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Rubber grommet that cushions and secures the refrigerator condenser assembly. Replace if cracked, worn, or missing to reduce vibration and noise.

This replacement screw secures specified refrigerator components—such as covers, brackets, and internal panels—so they stay properly mounted. Replace a missing, stripped, or corroded fastener to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and reliable operation.

• Provides the correct fastener for locations identified in your model's parts diagram
• Helps prevent looseness, vibration, and rattling of panels or brackets
• Replace if the head is stripped, threads are worn, or the screw is missing
• Symptoms can include loose parts, gaps, or noises from movement

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water if working near the ice maker or dispenser
• Match length and type to the original; follow your model's parts diagram for placement
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing, especially into plastic
• Keep track of screw positions; do not mix different screw lengths or styles

This seal strip replaces a worn or damaged door gasket edge to restore a proper seal and help the appliance maintain temperature and operate quietly. It's a direct-fit service part used where a continuous seal is required. What it does:

• Provides a flexible barrier along the door/frame to reduce air leaks and heat/cold loss
• Helps prevent moisture buildup and improves energy efficiency when sealing is restored
• Reduces rattling and vibration caused by a compressed or torn seal edge
• Commonly replaced when the strip is torn, missing, or no longer adheres properly

• One seal strip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical or burn hazards
• Clean and dry the mounting surface; remove old adhesive or residue for best adhesion
• Align the strip carefully and press firmly; allow any adhesive to cure per manufacturer instructions

Fix a refrigerator that's not cooling properly or running constantly. This condenser coil dissipates heat to keep your fridge at the right temperature.

Protective seal grommet for hoses, tubes, or wires passing through refrigerator cabinet. Replaces cracked, worn, or missing grommets to prevent leaks.
