Parts for Maytag SK535-2-PSK535062W: 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 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

This thermistor is the refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature and helps the control board regulate cooling for safe food storage. It replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature readings and normal cycling. What it does:

• Senses refrigerator/freezer air temperature so the control board can adjust compressor and fan operation
• Can cause improper cooling or erratic cycling when faulty (too warm, too cold, or constant running)
• Helps the appliance respond correctly to user temperature settings and defrost cycles
• Works as part of the temperature control system; not a standalone control module

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the sensor tip and wiring gently; avoid kinking or damaging the harness.
• Verify correct connector alignment and secure fit to the harness; test operation after installation.
