Parts for Maytag PSD265LGES-PPSD265GS1: Controls Parts

The Water Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to filter and purify the water for your refrigerator, ensuring clean and fresh drinking water and ice.

A bad refrigerator water filter can be caused by regular use and the buildup of contaminants over time. It may also become less effective if not replaced according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule.

Symptoms of a bad refrigerator water filter include:

• A decrease in water flow or water pressure.
• An unpleasant taste or odor in the water.
• The presence of particles or sediment in the water.
• Cloudy or discolored ice cubes.

If you notice any of these signs or if it has been more than six months since your last filter replacement, it's time to replace the refrigerator water filter with this genuine OEM part. 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 adaptive defrost control board manages and adjusts refrigerator defrost cycles to help prevent excess frost buildup while keeping temperatures steady. Replaces a failed control board to restore automatic defrost timing and normal cooling performance. What it does

• Monitors evap-coil and compressor run patterns to trigger appropriate defrost cycles.
• Helps reduce excessive frost on the evaporator that can cause poor cooling or compressor overwork.
• Commonly replaced when the refrigerator fails to defrost, shows persistent frost/ice buildup, or runs unusually long cycles.
• Works as the control logic for defrost sequencing and related temperature/regulation signals.

• One adaptive defrost control board

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching electronics; discharge static first if possible.
• Inspect wiring harnesses and connectors for damage before reconnecting; secure the board with original mounting hardware.
• After installation, restore power and allow the appliance to run through one full cycle to verify normal operation.

This electronic control board manages the appliance's functions and user interface, restoring normal operation when the original board fails. It replaces a faulty control module to help re-enable cycles, settings, and display feedback. What it does:

• Receives input from the control panel and sensors to run timed cycles and selected options
• Controls power delivery, timers, and cycle sequencing for proper operation
• Can cause error codes, unresponsive buttons, or intermittent operation if damaged

• One electronic control board (main control board) as shown

• Disconnect power before removing or installing the control board to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the board carefully; avoid touching circuitry and use anti-static precautions when possible
• Verify the board mounting, wiring harness connections, and connectors seat fully during installation

This freezer temperature control regulates the freezer compartment temperature so frozen foods stay properly chilled. Replaces a failed control to restore consistent cooling and temperature adjustments. What it does:

• Senses and controls freezer temperature by cycling the compressor and/or evaporator components
• Helps correct symptoms like a freezer that runs constantly, won't reach set temperature, or cycles irregularly
• Works as the user-facing temperature adjustment mechanism for the freezer section
• Interfaces with the fridge's cooling system to maintain the selected temperature range

• One freezer temperature control

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access may require removing the control housing or console; keep track of fasteners and knob position
• Handle electrical connectors carefully and match wiring locations when reinstalling

This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, and components inside appliances. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a snug, rattle-free fit using the correct #8-18 thread and 5/8-inch length.

• Fastens covers, trims, brackets, and internal parts to the cabinet/frame
• Used wherever a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is specified
• Replace if the original is missing, corroded, stripped, or will not tighten
• Symptoms: loose or rattling panels, gaps, or hardware that backs out

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water before servicing
• Match thread and length; start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit and tighten snugly—do not overtighten
• Inspect and replace damaged clips or tabs before securing
