Parts for Maytag JUW248RBRS00: 04 - Unit Parts

This Defrost Timer cycles the unit between cooling and automatic defrost. Replace it if your appliance won't defrost or stays stuck in defrost, causing frost buildup, warm temperatures, or intermittent/no cooling.

• Controls automatic defrost intervals by switching from cooling to defrost and back
• Supplies power to the defrost circuit/heater during the defrost portion of the cycle
• Common failure symptoms: heavy frost on the evaporator/back wall, warm fresh-food section, runs constantly with no defrost, or no cooling if stuck in defrost
• Stop advancing through cycles or advance intermittently

• Disconnect power before servicing; electrical components can hold live voltage
• Location varies by model: typically in the control housing inside the refrigerator or behind a rear/service panel
• Photograph/label wire positions and transfer connectors one at a time to the new timer
• Mount securely, restore power, and verify normal cooling/defrost operation

This condenser fan motor drives the fan that moves air across the condenser coils and around the compressor. Replacing a weak or seized motor restores airflow for efficient heat removal and more stable temperatures. What it does:

• Spins the condenser fan to exhaust heat from the coils and compressor
• Supports proper cooling performance and helps prevent compressor overheating
• Common failure signs: rear fan not running or intermittent, loud grinding/squealing, hot cabinet back, long run times, warmer-than-normal temperatures
• Often resolves buzzing or cycling from the compressor area due to inadequate airflow

• 1 condenser fan motor

• Disconnect power before servicing; remove the rear access panel to reach the condenser area
• Note wire positions; transfer the existing fan blade and mounting to the new motor
• Ensure the blade spins freely and wiring is routed clear of the fan
• Clean condenser coils while access is open to improve performance

This 6 MFD start/run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly, restoring proper motor performance and reliable operation. Use when the motor struggles to start or run consistently. What it does:

• Provides the brief voltage boost motors need to start and maintain run speed
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as motor hums, slow or no start, or intermittent running
• Replaces a failed or weak capacitor to improve motor reliability and reduce strain on components
• Matches the specified capacitance required for proper motor timing and operation

• Always disconnect power before inspecting or replacing electrical parts
• Discharge the capacitor before handling to avoid electric shock
• Replace with identical capacitance and mounting style; verify orientation and wire connections

Electronic air damper control assembly for the refrigerator. It regulates the flow of cold air from the freezer into the fresh food compartment to keep temperatures consistent, helping prevent warm spots or over-cooling that can freeze items.

• Opens and closes a damper door to meter airflow from the freezer into the refrigerator
• Helps maintain set temperatures and balanced airflow between compartments
• Resolves symptoms such as a warm fresh-food section, items freezing in the refrigerator, temperature swings, weak/no airflow from the diffuser, or clicking/buzzing noises from the damper area

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing; use gloves to protect from sharp edges
• Remove shelves and the air duct/cover to access the damper; keep fasteners for reuse
• Unplug the wiring connector, release locking tabs, and install the new assembly fully seated and aligned
• Restore power and verify damper operation and airflow before reloading the compartment

This auger motor drives the ice-auger in the dispenser, turning the spiral to deliver ice from the bin to the door dispenser. Replacing a failed motor restores reliable ice delivery and stops auger-stall symptoms. What it does:

• Rotates the auger shaft so ice is moved from the bin to the dispenser chute
• Engages when the dispenser actuator or control calls for ice
• Common symptoms: ice won't dispense, auger won't turn, grinding or humming from the ice bin area
• Works with the auger drive assembly to meter ice flow without affecting the ice maker itself

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove ice and clear the bin to access the auger and motor assembly
• Align the motor coupling and auger shaft; secure mounting fasteners per OEM guidance
• Test dispenser operation and check for leaks or binding after reinstall

The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is responsible for securing various parts of the microwave together. This screw ensures a tight and secure fit for parts and helps maintain the structural integrity of the microwave, preventing any loose or rattling parts.

A bad microwave screw can occur due to wear and tear, accidental damage, or misplacement during maintenance or repairs. If you notice symptoms such as loose or wobbly components, difficulty in opening or closing the microwave door, or abnormal noises while the microwave is in use, it may be time to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad microwave screw include:

• Loose or wobbly components
• Difficulty in opening or closing the microwave door
• Abnormal noises during operation

Restore your Whirlpool microwave by replacing the faulty or missing microwave screw with this genuine OEM part.

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

Note: The original compressor service kit 8201787, which was used as the service replacement for compressor 4344775, is no longer available. Whirlpool has a service bulletin to help determine if there is a service replacement for your model. Contact us for more information.

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.

This replacement transformer supplies the correct low-voltage power to the appliance's control and ignition circuits, restoring reliable operation of the control board and related systems. It's a direct-fit electrical component used in select Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Steps down household voltage to the low-voltage level used by the control board and ignition/system sensors
• Helps restore control panel function when the board is not receiving proper voltage
• Can allow the ignition/relief system to operate when a failed transformer caused no spark or no heat
• Prevents intermittent resets or erratic control behavior caused by voltage faults

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the transformer
• Handle electrical components carefully and avoid contact with terminals; use insulated tools
• Verify electrical compatibility and connector orientation with your appliance before installation

This mechanical temperature control thermostat regulates refrigerator cooling by sensing cabinet temperature and switching the compressor on and off to maintain set temperature. It restores stable cooling when the thermostat is the failed component. What it does:

• Senses interior temperature and opens/closes the circuit to the compressor to control cooling cycles
• Stops continuous compressor run when the thermostat is operating correctly
• Can cause the refrigerator to run constantly, not reach set temperature, or short-cycle when faulty
• Works with the control housing and capillary tube to monitor cabinet temperature

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the capillary tube gently; do not kink or damage it during removal or installation
• Access usually requires removing the control housing or back panel; keep fasteners for reassembly
