• Spins on the condenser fan motor to circulate air over condenser coils
• Helps dissipate heat so the compressor and fridge run efficiently
• Can cause reduced cooling or higher temperatures if broken or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Inspect the fan motor shaft and mounting for wear; replace motor if shaft is damaged
• Handle the blade carefully to avoid cracking; ensure blade is seated and secured before testing

This bracket grommet cushions a component where it mounts to a bracket in your refrigerator. It isolates metal-to-metal contact to reduce vibration and rattling and helps keep parts aligned for quieter, reliable operation.

• Fits into a mounting bracket to provide a cushioned seat for a component
• Isolates vibration and reduces noise by preventing metal-to-metal contact
• Helps maintain secure mounting and proper alignment
• Common signs of wear: cracking, flattening, missing grommet, increased vibration or rattling

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water supply if working near water lines
• Access the bracket and support the mounted component to relieve weight
• Remove the worn grommet and press the new grommet fully into the bracket opening
• Reassemble and snug fasteners—do not overtighten, so the grommet can isolate vibration

The Radiant Heater is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is the defrost heater that provides a gentle warmth to prevent freezing and freezing within selected drawers and compartments.  Radiant Glass (Quartz), Length (Approx) - 9-1/4, 500 watts

Causes of a faulty heater can include operational wear from prolonged power on cycles. Exposure to condensation or spills may also impact insulation over time.

Symptoms include:  

• Inadequate or ineffective temperature control in heater zones
• Short cycling or failure to maintain set temperatures  
• Loose connections or damage to heating coils

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

This OEM Replacement Part is a high-quality, 2-watt condenser fan motor for Whirlpool refrigerators.The motor is designed to optimize your refrigerator's cooling performance. This 115-volt motor operates with a clockwise rotation.  

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor kit include:

• Gradual rise in interior freezer temperatures
• Inability to maintain consistent cooling performance  
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises coming from inside
• Tripped breakers or failure to restart after service

Causes stem from normal wear of ball bearings as the high-efficiency motor operates continuously. Exposure to dust or debris introduced through openings accelerates wear over many years of use.

This OEM part is also compatible with brands including Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Danby.

Plastic defrost pan. Evaporator pan hangs from side rails and rests on compressor.

This is a replacement mounting screw for securing appliance components and panels. It restores proper fastening where a missing or stripped screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or small components to restore secure attachment
• Prevents vibration and rattling caused by loose or missing fasteners
• Replaces stripped or lost factory screws to maintain original fit
• Matches OEM fit for the specific mounting location when the part number is specified

• Use the matching screw location and size specified by the parts diagram
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten securely but do not overtighten
• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing panels or components
• If threads are damaged, replace with correct OEM screw—do not force a mismatched fastener
