This genuine replacement part is an evaporator used in refrigerators. The evaporator is the part that exchanges heat to cool the refrigerator. It is the component of the refrigerator that absorbs the heat from the air inside, turning it cool through absorption. If the refrigerator is no longer cooling properly, this could mean it's time for a new evaporator. This is a genuine replacement evaporator compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Sears, and Kenmore brand refrigerators.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It removes accumulated frost and ice from evaporator coils to maintain efficient cooling performance. 

Symptoms of a faulty heater include:

• Ineffective or failed automatic defrost cycles  
• Accumulation of excess frost over time
• Loose or improper placement of coils/connectors

Causes can be wear from repetitive defrost cycles. Environmental factors like humidity fluctuations may also degrade insulation.

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

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

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for circulating air over the evaporator coils, which helps to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. It operates at a power requirement of 115V, 60Hz, and 0.14A, featuring a shaft that measures 1/8" in diameter and 5/8" in length. 

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include electrical failures, wear and tear from continuous use, or obstruction from debris that hinders the fan's movement. A malfunctioning fan motor can lead to uneven cooling and compromised performance of the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• Inconsistent temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
