Parts for Magic Chef RB194RV / DG68A: 08 - Unit Compartment & System Parts

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

This PTC start relay plugs onto the compressor to momentarily power the start winding and help the compressor spin up smoothly. Replacing a failed relay can stop repetitive clicking and help restore stable cooling performance. What it does:

• Momentarily energizes the compressor's start winding at startup; the PTC element then increases resistance to take the start winding out of the circuit.
• Helps protect against repeated hard-start attempts that cause clicking and no-cool conditions.
• Common failure signs include repeated clicking, the compressor not starting, warm temperatures, burn marks/melted housing, or a relay that rattles when shaken.
• Mounts directly on the compressor terminals and interfaces with the model-specific overload and cover.

• 1 PTC start relay

• Disconnect power and allow components to cool before servicing.
• Access the compressor compartment; remove any cover/retainer to reach the start device.
• Note wiring and orientation; pull the old relay straight off the compressor pins and push the new relay fully onto the pins. Reconnect wires and reinstall the cover.
• Use only the start device specified for your exact model/compressor. If the old relay shows heat damage, inspect the matching overload and wiring for issues.

This motor overload protector helps prevent the dryer motor from overheating by cutting power when excessive current or heat is detected. It restores normal operation when the motor cools or the overload is replaced. What it does:

• Protects the dryer motor from damage by interrupting power during overheating or overcurrent conditions
• Commonly used when the dryer motor won't start, hums but doesn't run, or the motor trips repeatedly
• Works with the motor start system to reduce the risk of burned windings and costly motor failure
• Resets or is replaced to restore normal motor operation after an overload event

• Always unplug the appliance before checking or replacing this part
• Inspect wiring and motor for underlying issues that can cause repeated overloads

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.

This condenser fan blade is the rotating plastic blade that moves air across the condenser coils to help remove heat from the refrigerator. Replacing a damaged blade restores proper airflow for more consistent cooling. What it does:

• 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

The Nut is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This small yet essential component is used to secure various parts of the refrigerator, such as shelves, panels, or brackets, ensuring stability and proper alignment. Its durable design ensures reliable performance in the demanding environment of a refrigerator.

Causes of a bad or missing Nut can include wear over time, accidental stripping of threads, or loss during maintenance or repairs. A damaged or missing nut can lead to loose components and reduced functionality.

Symptoms of a bad or missing Nut include:

• Loose or wobbly shelves, brackets, or panels
• Difficulty keeping refrigerator components securely in place
• Rattling or unusual noises during operation

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

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

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator

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

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

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

The defrost timer controls your refrigerator's automatic defrost cycle, periodically pausing cooling to power the defrost heater. Replacing a faulty timer restores proper defrosting to help prevent frost buildup, temperature swings, and excessive run time.

• Advances the system between cooling and defrost at set intervals
• Sends power to the defrost heater, then returns the unit to cooling
• Failure may cause heavy frost on evaporator coils and weak airflow
• Fresh food section may run warm while the freezer ices over
• Unit may run constantly, never defrost, or get stuck in defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Location varies by model; access the timer (often in the control housing or rear compartment), note wire positions, and transfer one at a time
• Mount and secure the timer as originally installed; reuse existing bracket/fasteners
• After reassembly, restore power and verify the unit advances through cooling and defrost

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

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

A single pop rivet used to secure sheet-metal parts and small brackets on appliances for a permanent, vibration-resistant hold. Replaces missing or damaged rivets to restore proper attachment without welding. What it does:

• Provides a permanent blind-rivet fastening point for panels, brackets and trim.
• Replaces rivets that are sheared, loose or missing and prevents rattling or misalignment.
• Ideal where a solid, tamper-resistant join is required and screws aren't suitable.
• Works with a compatible pop-rivet tool for quick installation.

• Drill out the old rivet carefully; use the proper size hole for the replacement rivet.
• Use a dedicated pop-rivet tool and wear eye protection during installation.
