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 metal bottom hinge shim helps level and align the appliance door by providing a thin, durable spacer under the bottom hinge. Proper shimming restores correct door fit and reduces rubbing or uneven gaps for reliable sealing. What it does:

• Adds precise spacing under the bottom hinge to correct door height and tilt
• Helps stop door rubbing, binding, or uneven gaps that can affect sealing
• Restores proper door alignment so the latch and seals engage correctly
• Durable metal construction resists compression for long-lasting support

• Disconnect power and empty or support the door before working on hinges to avoid injury or damage.
• Support the door while removing hinge fasteners; small shims are installed under the hinge plate.
• Use the correct size fasteners and torque per the manufacturer; replace damaged hardware as needed.

Includes both shims as seen in the photo

This rubber grommet cushions and secures a refrigerator fan motor, isolating vibration to help reduce noise and keep the fan properly aligned in its mount.

• Provides a snug, vibration-dampening seat for the fan motor shaft or mounting stud
• Helps prevent rattling, buzzing, or humming sounds from a loose fan mount
• Maintains proper fan alignment to avoid blade contact with shrouds or brackets
• Replaces aged, cracked, or compressed rubber that can lead to increased vibration

• Disconnect power before service; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan assembly (rear or evaporator section), support the motor, and remove the old grommet
• Press the new grommet fully into the bracket or housing; transfer any spacers as originally configured
• Reinstall the motor and verify the fan blade spins freely with no contact before restoring power

This evaporator fan blade is the rotating plastic impeller that moves cold air from the evaporator across the freezer and refrigerator compartments, restoring proper airflow for even cooling. What it does:

• Circulates air over the evaporator coil so cooled air is distributed through the appliance
• Helps maintain even temperatures throughout the fridge and freezer sections
• Worn or damaged blades can cause reduced airflow, weak cooling, or abnormal fan noise
• Replacing the blade can restore normal airflow when the motor and housing are otherwise functional

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover in the freezer compartment
• Inspect the motor shaft and blade hub for damage and ensure the blade seats securely on the motor
• If fan noise or continued airflow problems persist after installation, verify the evaporator fan motor and mounting components

This evaporator fan motor spins the freezer fan to move air across the evaporator coils and circulate it through both compartments. Replacing a weak or failed motor restores proper airflow for consistent temperatures and reliable cooling performance.

• Circulates cold air from the evaporator throughout the freezer and fresh-food sections
• Helps maintain even temperatures and stable cabinet conditions
• Common symptoms: no fan sound or airflow in the freezer, refrigerator warming while freezer may stay colder, intermittent starting/stalling, or squealing/grinding from the fan area
• Supports temperature recovery after door openings by maintaining airflow

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Access from the freezer: remove shelves/ice bin and the rear panel to reach the motor
• Transfer the fan blade and mounting hardware in the same orientation; avoid damaging evaporator fins or wiring
• When testing, hold the freezer door switch closed—the fan runs only with the switch engaged

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This thermostat regulates the temperature within the defrost cycle, ensuring that the defrost heater activates and deactivates at the appropriate times to prevent frost buildup on the evaporator coils.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include electrical failures, wear and tear over time, or damage from temperature fluctuations. 

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not maintaining proper temperature
• The defrost heater not turning on
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator

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

This defrost heater warms the evaporator coil during the automatic defrost cycle to melt frost and clear airflow. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent ice buildup and restores more consistent cooling performance throughout the refrigerator. What it does

• Heats the evaporator during defrost cycles to melt accumulated frost
• Keeps airflow paths clear so temperatures stay stable
• Helps prevent frost-clogged coils that reduce cooling
• Common signs of failure: heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator cover, weak cooling, evaporator fan hitting ice, or ice returning soon after a manual defrost

• One defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access is behind the freezer's rear evaporator cover; remove shelves/bins and the panel
• Defrost heavy ice before removal to avoid damaging the coil or insulation
• Transfer any original mounting clips/insulators and route wires exactly like the original; avoid bending the heating element
