Parts for Whirlpool ISC23CDEXY02: 11 - Air Flow Parts

The Whirlpool EveryDrop Ice and Refrigerator Water Filter 1 is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This filter works to remove small particles from water to ensure clean, great-tasting ice and drinking water directly from the refrigerator door.  Measuring approximately 2.50 x 2.50 x 8.69 inches, this filter is easy to install. 

For optimal performance, we recommend replacing the filter every six months. The filter material is made from coconut carbon block, which has a micron rating of 0.5 and a flow rate of 0.5 gpm. The filter is designed to operate at a maximum pressure of 125 psi and an operating temperature of 38-100°.

Symptoms of a filter needing replacement include:

• Gradual decline in water/ice quality over time exhibiting muddy appearance or odd tastes
• Filter life indicator appears showing it is time for a new one 

Causes stem from normal usage over the stated capacity of the original filter. Allowing one to expire could produce unhealthy water.

This OEM replacement part is compatible with select Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Amana models as well.

This retainer secures the dryer fan motor to its housing so the blower assembly stays aligned and runs quietly. Replacing a worn retainer restores proper motor mounting and reduces vibration or rubbing noise. What it does:

• Holds the fan motor in place to maintain correct blower alignment
• Prevents the motor or fan from shifting, which can cause noise or rubbing
• Helps avoid airflow loss that can lead to poor drying performance
• Reduces vibration that can stress mounts and fasteners

• One fan motor retainer

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Basic hand tools are usually required; retain original fasteners unless replacements are provided
• Inspect surrounding mounts and the blower wheel for damage while accessing the motor

The Evaporator Fan Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It serves a pivotal role in circulating air over the refrigerator's evaporator coils, helping to maintain the cool temperatures throughout the unit. This circulation is crucial for the efficiency and effectiveness of your refrigerator's cooling process.

Causes of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor can include wear and tear over time, motor burnout due to electrical issues, or obstruction that prevents the fan from spinning.
 
Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor include:

• Unusual noises coming from the refrigerator, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling.
• The refrigerator or freezer section is not cooling adequately.
• A noticeable difference in temperature between the top and bottom of the refrigerator or freezer.
• Ice build-up on the evaporator coils due to inadequate air circulation.

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

The Evaporator Fan Motor Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a crucial component of the refrigerator's cooling system, attached to the evaporator fan motor to circulate air over the evaporator coils. This circulation helps distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient operation.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Blade include:

• Unusual noise coming from the fan area, indicating the blade may be hitting another component or is unbalanced,
• Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments,
• The refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain the desired temperature.

Causes of evaporator fan motor blade failure typically include physical damage from interference with other components, wear from continuous use, or buildup of ice or debris that unbalances the blade.

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

The Evaporator Fan Motor Grommet is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to provide a secure and vibration-free mounting for the evaporator fan motor, ensuring proper operation and reducing noise.

Causes of a faulty evaporator fan motor grommet can include wear and tear over time, damage from excessive vibrations or impact, or deterioration due to temperature changes.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor grommet may include:

• Excessive noise or rattling coming from the refrigerator
• Poor cooling performance or uneven temperatures inside the refrigerator
• Fan motor instability or misalignment

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This small retainer clip secures components in place to prevent shifting, vibration, or wire movement during appliance operation. Replacing a fatigued or missing clip restores a firm hold and helps eliminate rattles or intermittent connections.

• Holds parts, panels, or wiring securely to their mounting points
• Helps reduce vibration, noise, and wear from loose components
• Common fix when a panel, trim, or harness won't stay attached
• Symptoms can include rattling, loose wiring, or parts popping free

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; shut off water or gas if applicable
• Note original clip orientation and location before removal
• Use needle-nose pliers if needed to compress/position the clip
• Do not overtension; seat fully without deforming mating parts

This multi-connector wire harness routes power and signals between appliance components to restore reliable electrical connections. Replace a damaged harness to fix intermittent operation or loss of function caused by broken wires, melted insulation, or loose plugs. What it does:

• Carries power and control signals between the control board and connected components
• Re-establishes electrical continuity when wires are frayed, broken, or connectors are corroded
• Helps stop intermittent operation, component failures, or no-power symptoms tied to wiring faults
• Prevents arcing or shorts caused by damaged insulation or loose connections

• One complete wire harness assembly as shown

• Disconnect all power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair
• Compare the new harness to the old one; route and secure wires the same way to avoid pinching
• Use care with connectors—align and seat plugs fully until they click
• If you see damage to surrounding components, inspect and replace those parts as needed

This 8-18 x 5/8-inch screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and covers. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a tight fit and helps prevent vibration or loosening where this exact size is specified.

• Fastens sheet-metal or plastic components where a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is called for
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce rattling or vibration
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws of the same size
• Common symptoms: loose panels, gaps/poor fit, rattling noises, or visible missing hardware

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water (as applicable) before service
• Match thread and length to the original; replace screws one at a time to keep parts aligned
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• If the receiving threads are damaged, additional repair (clip, insert, or new nut) may be needed
