This evaporator fan shroud directs airflow from the evaporator fan to the refrigerator's cooling coils, improving cold-air circulation and helping maintain even temperatures in the fresh and freezer compartments. What it does:

• Channels airflow from the evaporator fan to the evaporator coils for efficient heat exchange
• Protects the fan motor and blades from contact with ice and debris
• Helps reduce uneven cooling or warm spots caused by disrupted airflow
• Fits into the evaporator compartment and mates with the fan assembly

• Intended for use in the evaporator compartment;
• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal components to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the shroud gently to avoid damaging tabs or mounting points during removal/installation
• Reassemble panels and test cooling operation after installation

A small replacement clip that secures the evaporator/fan motor to the freezer evaporator housing, keeping the motor aligned and the fan blade stable for proper airflow. Simple, low-cost fix to restore correct motor mounting. What it does:

• Secures the evaporator/fan motor to the housing to maintain proper alignment and reduce wobble
• Helps prevent noisy operation caused by a loose motor or fan blade
• Keeps the fan blade positioned for consistent airflow across the evaporator
• Compatible with standard evaporator motor mounting applications where this retainer is specified

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover or rear panel inside the freezer compartment
• Handle evaporator and nearby evaporator fins carefully to avoid damage; work in a frost-free environment if possible

This grommet isolates the refrigerator's fan motor from its mounting bracket to reduce vibration and noise while keeping the motor secure. Replacing worn or missing grommets helps stop rattles and prevents the fan blade from rubbing.

• Cushions the fan motor to maintain proper alignment and clearance
• Absorbs vibration to help reduce humming, buzzing, or rattling sounds
• Helps keep the motor stable so the blade doesn't contact the shroud
• Common signs of failure include excess vibration, noise, or a loose fan motor

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the fan motor area (rear of unit or inside the freezer, depending on model) and support the motor
• Remove mounting hardware and seat the new grommet fully in the bracket/mount
• The fan blade spins freely with even clearance before reassembling and restoring power

The Evaporator Fan Motor Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a crucial component of the refrigerator's cooling system, attached to the evaporator fan motor to circulate air over the evaporator coils. This circulation helps distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient operation.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Blade include:

• Unusual noise coming from the fan area, indicating the blade may be hitting another component or is unbalanced,
• Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments,
• The refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain the desired temperature.

Causes of evaporator fan motor blade failure typically include physical damage from interference with other components, wear from continuous use, or buildup of ice or debris that unbalances the blade.

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

This gasket forms a tight seal between mating surfaces inside your appliance to help contain air or water and maintain proper performance. Replacing a worn or damaged gasket restores reliable sealing and helps prevent leaks or escapes. What it does:

• Maintains an airtight/watertight seal between components
• Helps prevent leaks, drips, and moisture or air escaping
• Supports correct temperatures and operating efficiency
• Common signs of failure: visible cracks or flattening, leaking, moisture around the joint, or poor sealing

• 1 gasket

• Disconnect power; shut off water supply if applicable
• Note gasket orientation before removal and clean mating surfaces
• Seat the gasket evenly without stretching or kinking
• Reassemble and test for proper seal and any leaks

This replacement screw fastens internal components and panels so parts stay secure and quiet. It's a direct-fit fastener used where the original mounting screw is missing or damaged to restore proper assembly. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets or components to prevent movement and vibration
• Restores proper alignment for covers and access panels
• Stops rattling or loose-fitting parts caused by a missing or stripped screw
• Works as the factory-specified fastener for the original mounting point

• The screw location and type before installing; use the original hole and thread
• Power off and disconnect the appliance before accessing internal components
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading, then snug with the appropriate screwdriver
• Do not overtighten — stop once the part is secure to avoid stripping or cracking

The Thermistor Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators and freezers. This component plays a role in monitoring and controlling the temperature within your appliance. A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance changes with temperature changes, allowing the refrigerator's control system to accurately maintain the desired cooling levels based on the readings it provides. 

Causes of a bad thermistor can include wear and tear from constant use, exposure to extreme temperatures that can damage the component, or electrical issues such as short circuits.

Symptoms of a bad Thermistor Kit include:

• The refrigerator or freezer is too cold or not cold enough
• The appliance cycles on and off more frequently or for longer periods than normal
• Unexplained changes in temperature settings

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 Defrost Thermostat Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It regulates the temperature in the freezer during the defrost cycle, ensuring that the defrost heater activates to melt any frost buildup and then turns off to maintain the proper freezer temperature. This thermostat opens at 42°F and closes at 30°F. This mechanism allows for short, controlled heating periods to melt frost without affecting the contents of the appliance.

You should replace this defrost thermostat kit if it becomes defective. Common causes of a bad defrost thermostat include electrical failures, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, or wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
• The freezer not maintaining the correct temperature
• Water leaks from the freezer during the defrost cycle

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