• Disconnect power; clear and support the door to prevent strain
• Remove hinge cover and fasteners; lift the door off the hinge pin as needed
• Remove the old bushing from the hinge area and press the new bushing fully into place, matching original orientation
• Reinstall hardware; adjust hinges/level as needed

This factory screw secures appliance components. It restores a tight, reliable hold when the original hardware is stripped, missing, or corroded—helping prevent vibration and keeping panels and brackets properly aligned.

• Provides threaded fastening for panels, brackets, covers, or internal components
• Replaces worn, rusted, stripped, or missing hardware
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose parts
• Restores proper alignment and a secure fit of attached parts

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply before service

The Gasket-FIP  is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators, ensures an airtight seal around the door, preventing cold air from escaping and warm air from entering. This component contributes to the refrigerator's energy efficiency and cooling effectiveness, maintaining the optimal internal temperature to keep your food fresh longer. 

Causes of a bad Gasket-FIP can range from normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or deformation due to improper cleaning methods or exposure to extreme temperatures.  

Symptoms of a bad Gasket-FIP include:

• Noticeable gaps between the gasket and the refrigerator door or frame
• Condensation or frost buildup near the door edges
• The refrigerator working harder to maintain its internal temperature, potentially leading to increased energy bills
• The door not closing as smoothly or firmly as it should

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

This door stop replaces the small bumper that cushions and limits the door's travel so the door closes smoothly and avoids hard impacts. It restores normal door movement and reduces noise from slamming or catching. What it does

• Acts as a bumper/stop to limit how far the door opens or closes
• Cushions the door to prevent hard impacts and reduce noise
• Helps keep the door aligned and prevents catching or uneven closing
• Commonly replaced when the stop is worn, cracked, missing, or deformed

• One door stop

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair
• Removal/installation typically requires basic hand tools and access to the door hinge/stop area
• Align the new stop in the same position as the old one and secure per the appliance's hinge/trim layout
• Reuse the original fasteners unless replacements are specified

This nonmetal shim acts as a precise spacer/isolator within an appliance assembly to set correct clearance and alignment between parts. Replacing a worn or missing shim can reduce vibration, prevent rubbing, and help maintain smooth operation.

• Maintains proper spacing between mating parts to ensure correct alignment
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, and premature wear from parts contacting
• Nonmetal construction provides electrical isolation and resists corrosion
• Common signs of a bad/missing shim: scraping noises, visible misalignment, or excess play at the joint

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas supplies as applicable before servicing
• Match the new shim to the original thickness/position; some assemblies use multiple shims—reinstall in the same locations and order
• Clean mating surfaces and inspect related fasteners/brackets; replace any distorted hardware
• Tighten fasteners evenly to manufacturer specifications and verify smooth, interference-free movement after reassembly
