The Whirlpool screw is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing various components or parts on different types of Whirlpool appliances. The screw is designed to provide a secure and reliable fastening connection, ensuring that different parts of the appliance stay in place. It is commonly used in different locations within the appliance, such as the cabinet, panels, or other structural elements.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Loose or wobbly components within the appliance
• Panels or parts that are not securely attached
• Rattling or unusual noises due to loose parts
• Damaged or missing screw

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

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils and triggers the defrost cycle when the coils get too cold, preventing frost buildup and ensuring efficient cooling.  It operates by closing the heater circuit to initiate the defrost cycle. It opens the circuit when the temperature rises above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. It then resumes operation when the temperature drops to 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include regular wear and tear, exposure to moisture, or electrical issues. Over time, the thermostat may lose accuracy or stop working altogether, leading to frost accumulation or inefficient cooling.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator running continuously or not cooling properly
• The defrost heater not activating
• The refrigerator cycling on and off frequently

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

This evaporator defrost heater melts frost from the freezer coils during the automatic defrost cycle to keep airflow unobstructed and temperatures stable. Replace it if frost quickly returns after manual defrost or cooling performance declines. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator at set intervals to clear frost/ice
• Restores proper airflow to maintain consistent cooling
• Common signs of failure include heavy frost on the rear freezer panel, weak airflow or warmer fresh food temps, longer run times, or the evaporator fan striking ice
• An open reading on a continuity test indicates a failed heater

• 1 evaporator defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel; it mounts at/under the evaporator
• Note wire routing and clip locations; transfer any reusable hardware from the original part
• Avoid bending the element or damaging evaporator fins; fully defrost ice before reassembly

A replacement door gasket that restores a tight seal around the oven door to help maintain proper cooking temperature and improve efficiency. Fits Whirlpool ovens and ranges that use part A3189394. What it does

• Seals the oven cavity to reduce heat loss and help maintain consistent cooking temperatures.
• Helps prevent heat from escaping around the door, improving energy use and cook results.
• Worn, torn, or flattened gaskets can cause uneven baking or longer cook times.
• Replacing a damaged gasket can reduce hot spots on the exterior and nearby cabinetry.

• Disconnect power and ensure the oven is completely cool before starting.
• Remove the old gasket by pulling it out of the door channel; clean the channel before installing the new gasket.
• Press the new gasket into the channel around the full perimeter, working from one corner and ensuring an even fit.

• 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

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

This rubber grommet cushions and secures a refrigerator fan motor, isolating vibration to help reduce noise and keep the fan properly aligned in its mount.

• Provides a snug, vibration-dampening seat for the fan motor shaft or mounting stud
• Helps prevent rattling, buzzing, or humming sounds from a loose fan mount
• Maintains proper fan alignment to avoid blade contact with shrouds or brackets
• Replaces aged, cracked, or compressed rubber that can lead to increased vibration

• Disconnect power before service; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan assembly (rear or evaporator section), support the motor, and remove the old grommet
• Press the new grommet fully into the bracket or housing; transfer any spacers as originally configured
• Reinstall the motor and verify the fan blade spins freely with no contact before restoring power

This evaporator fan motor spins the freezer fan to move air across the evaporator coils and circulate it through both compartments. Replacing a weak or failed motor restores proper airflow for consistent temperatures and reliable cooling performance.

• Circulates cold air from the evaporator throughout the freezer and fresh-food sections
• Helps maintain even temperatures and stable cabinet conditions
• Common symptoms: no fan sound or airflow in the freezer, refrigerator warming while freezer may stay colder, intermittent starting/stalling, or squealing/grinding from the fan area
• Supports temperature recovery after door openings by maintaining airflow

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Access from the freezer: remove shelves/ice bin and the rear panel to reach the motor
• Transfer the fan blade and mounting hardware in the same orientation; avoid damaging evaporator fins or wiring
• When testing, hold the freezer door switch closed—the fan runs only with the switch engaged

This replacement fan blade mounts to the fan motor to move air through the system, restoring proper airflow and helping maintain stable temperatures while reducing unwanted noise and vibration. What it does:

• Attaches to the fan motor shaft to circulate air through the appliance
• Drives airflow across coils and compartments to support proper cooling
• Helps maintain even temperatures and stable performance
• Common symptoms include rattling/whirring noises, weak airflow, warm spots, or wobbling due to a cracked or warped blade

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the fan housing; remove any guards/shrouds as needed
• Transfer and reuse the existing retainer/clip or fastener and fully seat the blade on the motor shaft with correct orientation
• Spin by hand to ensure free clearance; reassemble and test for smooth, quiet operation

This evaporator clip secures the refrigerator evaporator assembly and related components so the cooling system stays aligned and vibration-free. It helps maintain proper airflow and prevents rubbing or loose parts. What it does:

• Holds the evaporator coil/assembly or associated covers in place
• Prevents vibration, noise, and contact between the coil and cabinet parts
• Helps maintain consistent airflow for reliable cooling performance
• Commonly linked to rattling, buzzing, or loose parts around the freezer evaporator

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Handle evaporator and surrounding fins carefully; they are sharp and fragile
• Verify clip orientation against the OEM diagram before fastening
