Parts for Kitchenaid KUWL204EPA02: Cabinet Parts

This evaporator fan motor drives the freezer fan that circulates cold air across the evaporator coils and through the ducts. Replacing a weak or noisy motor restores proper airflow for consistent cooling and defrost performance.

• Circulates cold air from the evaporator through the freezer and fresh food compartments
• Helps maintain even temperatures and quicker recovery after door openings
• Common failure symptoms: warm refrigerator section, little/no airflow from vents, loud humming/squealing or intermittent fan operation, and frost/ice buildup on the freezer's rear panel
• Also known as the freezer fan motor or "Motor-Evap"

• Disconnect power; remove shelves/drawers and the rear interior freezer panel to access the fan
• Note wiring and mounting orientation; unplug connectors and remove the old motor
• Transfer the fan blade and any rubber isolators/mounting hardware from the original motor if needed
• Ensure blade orientation and wire routing clear the blades; test operation before reassembly

A single replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and components for a stable fit and quiet operation. Use this screw to replace missing or damaged fasteners and restore proper panel alignment and function. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, and internal brackets to prevent movement and rattling
• Restores proper alignment where a lost or stripped screw allowed gaps
• Helps maintain electrical and mechanical component positioning for safe operation
• Suitable as a direct replacement when the original screw is damaged or missing

• One replacement mounting screw

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug—do not overtighten to prevent thread or part damage
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating captive nut or insert as needed

This grille is the exterior vent trim that covers the oven's vent opening and keeps the cooktop or range looking finished while allowing airflow. It restores a clean appearance and protects internal vent components. What it does:

• Covers and protects the oven vent opening from debris and direct contact
• Maintains proper airflow path for cooling and venting near the cooktop/range
• Restores finished appearance when the original grille is cracked, dented, or missing
• Helps prevent small items from falling into the vent area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work to avoid electrical hazards.
• Handle edges carefully; metal trim pieces may have sharp edges.
• Typically secures with a few screws or clips—keep hardware from the original part or use exact replacements.

This Leveler is the adjustable foot that supports and levels your appliance. Replacing a worn, cracked, or missing leg helps stop rocking and vibration, improving stability and ensuring smooth, quiet operation.

• Screws into the base to set height and keep the appliance level and secure
• Helps reduce rocking, vibration, and rattling that can cause excess noise
• Supports proper alignment and smooth door/closure operation when level
• Common symptoms: appliance wobbles, leg is stripped or broken, difficult to keep unit level

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water if applicable before servicing
• With help, tip or lift the appliance slightly and protect the floor
• Thread the new leveler into the mounting boss and adjust height with a level
• Verify the unit is stable by gently rocking and recheck level after initial use

This thermistor is the refrigerator/freezer temperature sensor that reads internal air temperature and sends that signal to the control board so the appliance maintains correct cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature control. What it does:

• Senses cabinet or evaporator temperature and relays the reading to the control board
• Helps the control system cycle the compressor, fans, and defrost as needed
• Commonly fails when the fridge runs too long, runs constantly, or shows incorrect temperatures
• Can cause improper cooling or defrost control when damaged or disconnected

• One thermistor temperature sensor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing components
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on wires or kinking the probe
• Reinstall in the same location and routing as the original to ensure accurate readings

This is the appliance control box — the electrical assembly that manages cycle selection, timing and power distribution so your appliance responds correctly to user commands. Replacing a faulty control box restores normal control and cycle operation. What it does:

• Receives inputs from the user interface and controls cycle timing and sequences
• Switches power to motors, valves, heaters or other components as directed
• Sends/receives signals to control indicators and status displays
• Can cause no-start, unresponsive controls, error codes, or incorrect cycles when faulty

• Disconnect all power before attempting replacement to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the board carefully and avoid static discharge; use ESD protection if available
• Reinstall all covers and wire connectors securely; test appliance functions after power is restored

This door-position switch detects whether the appliance door is closed and tells the control when it's safe to run, restoring normal safety interlock function. It replaces a worn or failed switch to help appliances start only with the door securely closed. What it does

• Senses door open/closed position so the appliance will operate only when the door is shut
• Restores safety interlock that prevents motor/startup with the door open
• Common symptom fix: appliance won't start or stops immediately when the door is closed/open
• Resolves intermittent start issues or machines that only run with the door held shut

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools typically required; access panels or door trim may need removal
• Handle the switch and terminals gently to avoid damage; wiring matches original
• After installation, restore power and test door operation and normal cycle start

This electronic control board manages the appliance's cycles and user commands to restore normal operation and display functions. Replaces a faulty or unresponsive main control to help the unit run selected settings correctly. What it does:

• Receives input from the console and sends signals to motors, valves, heaters, and lights
• Controls cycle timing, program selection, and display/readout behavior
• Common symptom: appliance won't start, displays error codes, or cycles stop unexpectedly
• Common symptom: touchpad or display is unresponsive or shows blank/garbled information

• One electronic control board assembly

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off circuit breaker) before servicing
• Replace the board as an assembly; handle with care to avoid static damage
• Verify connector orientation and secure all plugs; do not force connectors

This defrost sensor monitors evaporator temperature so the fridge's defrost system runs when needed, helping prevent excessive frost and maintain efficient cooling. It replaces a faulty thermistor to restore proper defrost cycles and temperature sensing. What it does:

• Senses evaporator coil temperature and sends readings to the control board or defrost timer.
• Triggers defrost cycles when the evaporator reaches temperatures that indicate ice buildup.
• Commonly used when frost accumulates on the evaporator or the freezer runs too cold/too warm between cycles.
• Works with compatible refrigerator control systems that rely on a thermistor-style defrost sensor.

• One defrost sensor (thermistor) assembly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid pulling on wires or bending the sensor probe sharply.
• Follow OEM routing and connector orientation; secure the sensor to the evaporator per the original mounting.
