Over time, the thermostat tube shield can become worn out or damaged due to factors like regular wear and tear, accidental impact, or environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature fluctuations. 

Symptoms of a bad thermostat tube shield include:

• Inconsistent or inaccurate refrigerator temperatures
• The refrigerator running continuously or cycling on and off frequently
• Visible damage or wear to the shield
• Difficulty in maintaining the desired temperature settings

Causes of a bad defrost timer can include mechanical wear over time, electrical failures, or internal component damage. Prolonged usage and voltage spikes can also affect the timer's functionality.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperatures
• Unusual noises coming from the appliance 
• The appliance running continuously without cycling off

This is a small replacement screw used to fasten appliance panels and internal components, restoring secure connections and reducing rattles or loose parts. Ideal when original screws are missing or damaged. What it does:

• Secures access panels, mounting brackets, or internal assemblies to prevent vibration and movement
• Helps maintain electrical and mechanical connections by keeping components properly aligned
• Common fix for loose control panels, trim pieces, or internal module attachments

• One replacement screw as shown

• Use the matching driver (Phillips, hex, or Torx) and hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten until snug; do not over-torque to prevent stripping or cracking surrounding material
• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal parts to avoid injury
• If the original screw is corroded or broken, replace with the same type and length for best fit

The Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is crucial for regulating the internal temperature of the refrigerator, ensuring that food and beverages are stored at the correct temperature for optimal freshness and safety. The thermostat monitors the temperature inside the refrigerator and signals the cooling system to turn on or off to maintain the desired temperature.

You should replace the thermostat if it becomes faulty or unresponsive. Causes of a bad thermostat can include regular wear and tear from frequent use, electrical issues, or exposure to extreme temperatures. Over time, these factors can lead to the thermostat failing to accurately monitor or control the refrigerator's temperature.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• Food items freezing or spoiling faster than usual
• The refrigerator running constantly or not running at all
• Inconsistent temperature readings or fluctuations inside the refrigerator

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