Parts for Kitchenaid KRSF505EBL01: Air Flow Parts

The FreshFlow Refrigerator Air Filter is an OEM component for Whirlpool and Maytag refrigerators. Located inside the ventilation system, this filter purifies circulated air. This air filter is 3" wide by 2" high and white in color. It should be replaced every 6 months to ensure the best performance.

Causes of failure relate to clogging from trapped dust, dander and other allergens despite regular replacement intervals. Performance decreases as filter media becomes saturated over months of use.  

Symptoms of a dirty or blocked refrigerator air filter include:

• Reduced airflow causes higher compressor runtime hours  
• Odors being pulled into the fridge from unfiltered vents  
• Shortening of food storage life due to unpurified air exposure
• Reduced fan speeds or strange noises originating from the vents

This genuine Whirlpool filter is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Amana models as well.

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.

Instruction sheet included.

This air duct routes heated air from the dryer drum to the exhaust path, restoring proper airflow for efficient drying and venting. Designed to match the OEM shape for a secure fit and reliable operation. What it does:

• Channels heated air from the dryer drum to the vent system for normal drying performance
• Helps maintain proper airflow to prevent extended dry times and overheating
• Replaces cracked, crushed, or blocked ducts that cause reduced airflow or hot spots
• Restores sealed air path to reduce lint buildup in adjacent areas

• Recommended for technicians or experienced DIYers; disconnect power before service
• Inspect adjoining seals and clamps and replace if damaged to ensure an airtight connection
• Handle carefully to avoid bending or creasing the duct; secure per OEM mounting points

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

The Motor-Evap DC is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. As the evaporator fan motor, it is responsible for circulating air within the refrigerator compartment.

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include normal wear and tear over time, overheating due to inadequate ventilation or dust buildup restricting airflow, or failure due to power surges or spikes.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• Inadequate or inconsistent air circulation and cooling within the refrigerator
• Frost or ice buildup due to stagnant air
• Unpleasant odors from lack of air movement
• Abnormally high energy usage
• Strange noises emanating from the cooling system

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

This motor grommet cushions and secures the appliance motor to the cabinet, helping reduce vibration and noise for smoother operation. It's a direct-fit rubber mounting grommet used where the motor meets the frame. What it does:

• Absorbs motor vibration to reduce noise and movement
• Protects the motor mounting studs and surrounding sheet metal from wear
• Helps maintain proper motor alignment for reliable operation
• Commonly replaced when rubber is cracked, torn, or deteriorated

• Disconnect power before beginning any service.
• Access and remove the motor mounting hardware or panel to reach the old grommet.
• Replace with the new grommet, ensuring it is fully seated on the motor stud and in the mounting hole.
• Reinstall hardware, restore panels, and test the appliance for secure, quiet operation.

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

The Wire Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is made up of bundled electrical wires that connect and transmit signals between different refrigerator components like lights, temperature controls, fans, and more.

Causes of a bad wire harness include short circuits due to damaged insulation, loose or disconnected wires, or wires breaking due to normal wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad wire harness include:

• Lights or temperature displays not working properly
• Fans or other mechanical parts failing to run 
• Strange electrical smells or sounds coming from the refrigerator
• Components like icemakers or water dispensers malfunctioning

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

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
