This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

This air baffle assembly regulates and directs cold airflow inside the refrigerator, typically between the freezer and fresh food sections. Replacing a damaged baffle helps restore balanced air distribution for more even cooling and stable temperatures throughout. What it does:

• Controls the amount and direction of airflow to maintain set temperatures
• Helps reduce warm spots or over-cooling in the fresh food compartment
• A cracked, missing, or misaligned baffle may lead to a warm refrigerator while the freezer stays cold
• Air leaks or obstruction at the baffle can cause frost or unusual air noise near the vent

• 1 air baffle assembly

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove shelves and the interior vent/diffuser cover to access the baffle
• Retain and transfer any screws, clips, or seals from the original part as required
• Seat the new baffle fully so the seal engages evenly; reassemble and verify airflow

This diffuser assembly directs and evens airflow inside the appliance to help maintain consistent circulation and performance. It replaces a damaged or worn diffuser to restore proper air distribution and reduce airflow issues. What it does:

• Guides and evens airflow through the appliance to promote uniform circulation
• Helps prevent hotspots or poor air movement caused by cracked or broken diffusers
• Can reduce rattling or vibration when the original diffuser is loose or damaged
• Works as part of the airflow path to support the appliance's normal operating performance

• One diffuser assembly (air), as shown

• High-level replacement: remove access panels and fasteners securing the old diffuser before installing the new part
• Keep parts and fasteners organized; verify correct orientation so airflow is not obstructed
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid shock or injury

A thermistor assembly that measures refrigerator temperature and sends that data to the control board so the appliance can regulate cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature control. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and converts it to a signal the control board uses to adjust cooling.
• Helps regulate compressor, evaporator, and defrost cycles when operating correctly.
• Common symptom: erratic or incorrect refrigerator/freezer temperatures.
• Common symptom: cooling failure, long run times, or temperature-related error codes.

• Disconnect power before accessing or replacing the thermistor to avoid shock.
• Handle the sensor element and wiring gently; avoid pinching or crimping the leads.
• Install in the same location and orientation shown in the OEM diagram for reliable readings.

The Thermistor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This temperature-sensitive sensor monitors conditions inside refrigerator and freezer compartments. It provides critical feedback to the electronic control module, regulating cool air temperature in both sections.

Symptoms of a faulty thermistor include:

• Fluctuating temperatures where sections become too warm or cold  
• Frequent cycling of evaporator fans and cooling components
• Defrost issues or Er/Ed error codes shown on displays

Causes can involve regular exposure to changing interior environments over many years. Mineral deposits accumulating may lead to sensor surfaces becoming insulated. Physical stress from overloading could potentially crack the thermistor over time as well. 

This OEM replacement part is compatible with some Kenmore Elite models too.
