Size; 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

This pressure regulator controls and stabilizes incoming water pressure to the appliance, helping maintain consistent operation and protect internal valves and seals. Fits systems that use a 3/4 inch inlet regulator. What it does:

• Reduces high incoming water pressure to a safe, steady level for the appliance
• Prevents pressure-related leaks, valve chatter, and premature wear on seals
• Helps maintain consistent water flow for reliable cycles and operation
• Commonly replaced when irregular pressure, humming valves, or water leaks occur

• One pressure regulator (3/4 in.)

• Turn off water supply and power to the appliance before starting; relieve system pressure first
• Inspect connection fittings and seals; use appropriate thread sealant if required by the OEM
• Tighten to manufacturer torque recommendations and check for leaks after restoring water

This replacement bracket secures the refrigerator ice maker assembly so it stays properly positioned for reliable ice production. It restores stable mounting and helps prevent the ice maker from shifting or coming loose. What it does:

• Holds the ice maker assembly in place on the freezer liner or mounting frame
• Keeps the ice maker aligned for proper operation and water fill
• Helps stop vibration or movement that can cause noisy operation or misfeeds
• Useful when the original bracket is bent, broken, or missing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before starting
• Remove the ice maker to access the bracket mounting screws
• Reuse existing screws if undamaged; tighten to secure but avoid overtightening
• If mounting points or surrounding plastic are damaged, replace or repair before reinstalling

Electrode that produces the ignition spark for gas ovens and ranges, restoring reliable burner lighting. Replace a damaged or worn electrode to stop repeated clicking, weak sparks, or burners that fail to light. What it does:

• Delivers the spark at the burner to ignite gas during startup.
• Common symptom fix: oven/range burners that won't light or that click continuously without producing a flame.
• Use when the electrode is cracked, corroded, or the ceramic insulator is damaged.
• Works as part of the appliance's ignition system alongside the spark module/igniter wiring.

• Turn off power and gas supply before beginning any service.
• Avoid touching or chipping the ceramic insulator; handle the tip carefully.
• Reconnect wiring exactly as removed and secure the electrode in the original orientation.

Icemaker water inlet valve adapter kit, hose thread to 1/4" copper tubing

This dampener cushions and stabilizes the washer tub during spin cycles to reduce vibration and noise for smoother operation. It replaces worn or damaged suspension dampeners to help restore proper tub balance and quieter performance. What it does:

• Absorbs and dampens tub movement during agitation and spin to reduce vibration and noise.
• Helps maintain proper tub alignment for more even spinning and less wobble.
• Commonly replaced when the washer rocks, thumps, or makes excessive noise during spin.
• Works with the washer's suspension system to protect other components from shock and wear.

• 1 dampener

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the washer cabinet or front panel; follow OEM service instructions.
• Inspect mounting studs and clips for wear; replace as needed to ensure a secure fit.

A replacement machine screw with 8-32 threads used to secure panels and components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. Installs quickly to restore proper fit and stop rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, brackets or components that use 8-32 machine-thread fasteners
• Restores proper alignment and prevents vibration-related noise
• Replaces missing, stripped, or damaged screws that allow parts to come loose
• Works where a standard 8-32 machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power and/or gas before servicing the appliance to reduce shock or injury risk
• Use the proper screwdriver or nut driver for the screw head to avoid stripping
• Thread gently and stop when snug; do not overtighten to prevent stripping or damage
• If threads are damaged, replace with the correct-size screw rather than forcing it

This spring-style tube clamp secures flexible tubing to fittings, helping prevent leaks and maintain proper flow. It's a simple replacement that restores a firm seal on water or drain lines. What it does:

• Keeps flexible tubing firmly clamped to barbed or nipple fittings
• Helps stop or reduce leaks from loose or corroded connections
• Prevents tubing from slipping off under pressure or vibration
• Useful where a compact, spring-action clamp is required

• Disconnect power and shut off water to the appliance before replacing parts
• Use pliers to expand the clamp, position it over the tube/fitting, then release to secure
• Inspect connected tubing and fittings for damage; replace if cracked or severely corroded

This hose clamp secures a rubber or plastic hose to its fitting on your appliance, maintaining a tight, leak-resistant seal under vibration and pressure. Replace when the old clamp is rusted, bent, or no longer holds tension. What it does:

• Clamps around a hose to grip the fitting and seal the joint
• Helps prevent drips, leaks, and hose blow-off at the connection
• Restores secure clamping force when the original is worn or damaged
• Common symptoms: water at the connection, hose slipping off, visible corrosion or distortion

• 1 hose clamp

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Slide clamp onto hose, seat hose fully on the fitting, then position clamp just behind the bead/raised lip
• Tighten or compress evenly with the appropriate tool; avoid overtightening that could damage the hose
• After reassembly, run a short test and inspect for leaks

• Collects and stores ice produced by the icemaker or manual trays
• Keeps cubes contained and easy to access; fits designated guides in the freezer
• Helps ensure proper ice access or dispensing on applicable models
• Typical symptoms: cracked bin, broken tabs, bin won't seat, ice spilling or clumping

• 1 ice cube pan/bin

Size: 1/4 inch. Nut for plastic water line.

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It supplies water from the household plumbing to the ice maker, ensuring a consistent and reliable production of ice cubes. This kit includes a 1/4-inch plastic water line that is approximately 72 inches long. The tubing will need to be cut to match the desired length.

Causes of a bad water line can include wear and tear from prolonged use, kinks or bends restricting water flow, or leaks due to punctures or cracks. A compromised water line can result in inadequate ice production or water leaks.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Reduced or no ice production
• Leaking water from the refrigerator
• Visible cracks or damage to the water line
• Ice cubes that are smaller than usual

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