• Receives input from buttons/knobs and runs the appliance's selected cycles
• Controls timing, relays, and status signals for proper operation
• Can resolve symptoms like unresponsive controls, incorrect cycle behavior, or error codes tied to the control board
• Works as the central logic board that communicates with displays and other components

• One electronic control board

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before beginning any service
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid static discharge—use anti-static precautions if available
• Installation typically requires removing the control panel or console and reconnecting harnesses exactly as found

This electronic control board replaces the main console control that manages cycles, display, and user inputs so your appliance responds correctly to settings and starts/stops as commanded. It restores proper control when the original board fails. What it does:

• Receives input from buttons/knobs and runs the appliance's programmed cycles
• Controls the display and indicator lights for status and error codes
• Starts, stops, and sequences functions such as timers, heaters, and motors
• Common symptoms: unresponsive controls, blank or erratic display, cycles won't start or complete

• One electronic control board as shown

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing to avoid shock
• Handle the board by edges and avoid electrostatic discharge; use an ESD strap if available
• Verify connector locations and orientation before removing the old board; replace all screws/clips
• After installation, restore power and run a test cycle to normal operation

This shield is a protective trim piece that helps guard internal components from debris, heat, and wear, keeping the appliance running quietly and extending component life. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original shield is damaged or missing. What it does:

• Protects nearby wiring, hoses, and components from heat and abrasion
• Reduces rattles or vibration caused by loose or damaged shielding
• Helps prevent debris build-up in sensitive areas
• Restores the intended clearance and component alignment

• One replacement shield

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Remove exterior panels as needed to access the damaged shield; keep fasteners organized
• Inspect surrounding components for damage while replacing the shield
• Use proper hand tools; avoid overtightening fasteners to prevent cracking

The Dispenser Actuator is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for controlling and actuating the dispensing of water and ice from the refrigerator door. The dispenser actuator contains electronic components that sense when a cup is placed in the dispenser area and signal the water and ice systems to operate. 

Symptoms of a bad dispenser actuator include:

• Failure to dispense water or ice
• Water or ice dispensing continuously without a cup present  
• Delayed or inconsistent response time when dispensing
• Electronic control issues such as blinking lights or error codes

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

This spigot body assembly routes water from the refrigerator supply to the dispenser and replaces a worn, cracked, or leaking dispenser spigot. It restores proper water flow and helps stop drips or visible leaks at the dispenser. What it does:

• Channels water from the supply line through the dispenser area for normal dispense operation.
• Provides the structural mounting for the dispenser valve and actuator components.
• Common symptoms it can address: leaking or dripping at the dispenser, visible cracks or broken spigot housing, or intermittent water flow from the dispenser.
• Works with existing dispenser valve and seals when those components are undamaged.

• Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off the water supply before starting work.
• Access may require removing the refrigerator door panel or inner dispenser bezel.
• Inspect and replace any worn O-rings or seals during reassembly to prevent leaks; tighten fasteners only to specified torque if provided by the manufacturer.

This ice door seals the dispenser chute between uses, keeping warm air and moisture out of the ice compartment. Replacing a worn flapper restores a tight seal, reduces frost and clumping, and improves dispenser performance.

• Opens for ice dispensing and closes to seal the chute between uses
• Helps maintain a barrier against warm air and humidity entering the ice compartment
• Reduces frost/condensation at the dispenser outlet
• Typical failure signs: frost or dripping at the dispenser, clumped or melting ice, or a flapper that won't close/seal

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing
• Access is typically through the dispenser area; remove trim/control panel as directed for your model
• Note orientation; transfer any springs/pivots as designed and ensure the seal sits flat
• After installation, test dispense and confirm smooth motion and a snug seal

This refrigerator ice guide channels cubes and crushed ice along the intended path so they land in your bin or glass. When the guide is damaged or missing, ice can scatter, jam, or miss the dispenser opening. What it does

• Guides ice from the ice maker/bucket into the bin and through the dispenser chute
• Helps keep ice flowing smoothly and reduces spills at the opening
• Restores proper aim for cubed and crushed ice
• Typical symptoms: ice spraying or missing the glass, frequent jams, or visible damage to the guide

• 1 ice guide

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the ice bin and access the guide per your model's design
• Transfer and reuse existing mounting screws or clips, if applicable
• Verify alignment, then test both cubed and crushed dispensing

This drip tray sits beneath the grate area to catch grease and boil-overs, helping keep the cooktop cleaner and protecting components below. Replacing a bent, corroded, or missing tray restores proper fit and appearance. What it does:

• Collects drips, grease, and spills under the grate area
• Helps prevent liquids from reaching the burner box or wiring
• Supports correct placement of the grate/grill assembly
• Common symptoms: missing tray, heavy rust, warping, leaks or messes under the top

• 1 drip tray

• Disconnect power and shut off gas; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Remove the cooking grates/grill section to access the tray
• Lift out the old tray and position the new one with correct orientation
• Reinstall grates and verify proper seating and clearances before use

This dispenser light replaces the small lamp that illuminates the refrigerator's ice/water dispenser alcove. It restores clear visibility of the dispenser area in low light so you can see fill levels and selections while dispensing.

• Provides illumination for the dispenser alcove when the control turns the light on
• Common symptoms: no dispenser light, dim or flickering light, or intermittent illumination
• Helps with accurate filling and improves visibility when dispensing ice or water

• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before servicing
• Access the dispenser housing; remove any trim or lens as needed to reach the light
• Release locking tabs or screws and unplug the wire connector from the old light
• Connect and seat the new light, reassemble, restore power, and test operation
