Parts for Kitchenaid KURL314KSS00: Cabinet Parts

This thermistor is the refrigerator temperature sensor that measures internal air temperature so the control board can maintain proper cooling. It helps the refrigerator cycle correctly and keeps food at safe temperatures. What it does:

• Detects temperature changes in the fridge/freezer and sends signals to the control board
• Helps control compressor and fan run cycles for stable cooling
• Commonly linked to symptoms like incorrect temperatures, frequent cycling, or no cooling
• Often used when temperature readouts are erratic or defrost cycles behave abnormally

• One thermistor (temperature sensor)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Handle sensor and wiring gently; avoid sharp bends or pulling on the leads
• Ensure the sensor is seated in the correct location and connector is fully engaged

This bimetal defrost thermostat senses evaporator temperature and controls the defrost cycle so frost is removed reliably. It replaces a failed thermostat to help restore normal cooling performance and consistent defrost operation. What it does:

• Closes and opens with evaporator temperature to allow the defrost heater to run at the correct time
• Helps prevent excessive frost buildup on the evaporator
• A faulty unit can lead to long frost accumulation, reduced cooling, or inconsistent temperatures
• Works with the defrost heater and control to maintain proper defrost cycles

• Always unplug the appliance before attempting any repairs
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover; protect evaporator fins and wiring during replacement
• Verify electrical continuity of the old thermostat and replace with identical part number

This clear replacement light lens covers and protects an appliance light bulb while softening and directing the light for improved visibility. It restores a clean, finished appearance when the original lens is cracked, cloudy, or missing. What it does:

• Protects the light bulb from grease, moisture and debris
• Diffuses and directs interior light for better visibility
• Replaces cracked, chipped, cloudy or discolored lenses that reduce illumination
• Helps stop rattling or vibration caused by a loose or broken lens

• Disconnect power (or shut off gas) before servicing the appliance
• Allow the bulb to cool before removing the old lens
• Use proper tools to remove retaining screws or clips; handle the lens carefully to avoid cracking

This support mounting bracket secures internal components to restore proper alignment and reduce movement. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original support is broken, bent, or worn and causing instability. What it does:

• Stabilizes and secures the appliance assembly or panel to prevent sagging and misalignment
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by a damaged or missing support
• Restores proper part alignment so attached components operate smoothly
• Common symptom: visible sag, looseness, unusual noise, or parts that shift during use

• Recommended for users comfortable with basic appliance disassembly; disconnect power before starting
• Keep track of fasteners and orientation during removal to ensure correct reinstallation
• Inspect adjacent parts for damage when replacing the support
• Use appropriate hand tools

A replacement mounting support that secures and stabilizes the appliance component assembly to restore proper alignment and reduce unwanted movement. Replaces a worn or damaged support to help reduce noise and intermittent misalignment. What it does

• Holds and positions a component or assembly in place to maintain correct alignment
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by a loose or damaged support
• Helps prevent premature wear of adjacent parts by keeping components stable
• Common symptoms this part can help address: banging or rattling noises, parts that shift or sag during operation

• One support mounting bracket

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Remove outer panels or access covers to reach the old support; keep fasteners for re-use
• Note orientation and mounting screw locations before removing the old part to ensure correct reinstallation
• Tighten fasteners securely but avoid over-torquing; test appliance operation after reassembly
