Parts for Ikea ISC21CNEDS00: Air Flow Parts

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 Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for monitoring the temperature of the evaporator coils. When the coils reach a certain temperature, the thermostat signals the defrost heater to turn on and melt any ice or frost buildup. This ensures proper airflow and prevents excessive ice formation.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can be attributed to normal wear and tear over time or electrical malfunctions.  

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive ice buildup in the freezer section.
• Inadequate cooling in the refrigerator compartment.
• Frost or ice accumulating on the evaporator coils.

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

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

This evaporator fan motor circulates cold air over the evaporator coil to help maintain even refrigerator/freezer temperatures and proper defrost performance. Replaces a failed or noisy evaporator blower motor to restore airflow. What it does:

• Spins the evaporator fan blade to move cold air through the evaporator and fresh food/freezer compartments.
• Helps maintain consistent internal temperatures for proper cooling and food preservation.
• Commonly associated with symptoms such as loud or grinding noises, no airflow in the cabinet, or uneven cooling between compartments.
• Works with the evaporator assembly and fan blade to support normal defrost operation.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Access typically requires removing interior panels or the evaporator cover; keep track of fasteners and gaskets.
• Inspect the fan blade, mounting bracket, and wiring harness for damage when replacing the motor.

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 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
