Ice maker not filling or water dispenser not working? This water inlet valve controls flow to your refrigerator's ice and water system. DIY repair.

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

Ice maker shifting or loose? This mounting bracket secures your ice maker assembly in place to restore stable positioning and reliable ice production.

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.

This ice maker mold thermostat monitors the temperature of the ice-making chamber to control the harvest cycle. It signals when the ice is ready to be released from the mold and ensures proper ice formation. Replace this thermostat if your ice maker isn't producing ice, makes hollow or malformed cubes, or runs continuously without cycling.

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

Missing or cracked ice bin? This replacement ice cube pan restores contained ice storage in your refrigerator's freezer. Simple slide-in installation.

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

Water supply tube for ice makers. Connects water inlet valve to ice maker assembly. Replace if cracked, brittle, leaking, or damaged from heat exposure.

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 cable harness routes power and signals between appliance control and components to restore reliable electrical connections. It replaces a damaged or worn harness to help eliminate intermittent operation and connectivity issues. What it does:

• Replaces the main wiring harness that links controls, sensors, and motors for proper electrical communication
• Restores reliable power and signal paths to correct intermittent power, non-responsive controls, or components that won't run
• Ensures secure connector mating to prevent arcing and poor contact
• Matches OEM connector types and wire lengths to fit in the original routing

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing to avoid shock
• Compare the new harness to the old one for connector types and routing before installation
• Handle connectors by the housings; do not pull on wires. Ensure all plugs snap fully into place

Secures flexible tubing to fittings on water and drain lines. Replace when clamps lose tension or you find leaks. Confirm fit with your model number.

Secures water supply hoses to fittings, preventing leaks in ice makers and refrigerators. Replace when rusted, bent, or losing grip. Verify fit.

Seals refrigerator door to prevent air leaks and temperature loss. Replace when worn, cracked, or no longer forming a tight seal. Verify fit by model.

Replace cracked or missing compression fitting inserts for 1/4-inch water tubing in refrigerators and ice makers. Prevents leaks at connections.

Size: 1/4 inch hex head, 10-12 x 1/2 inch.

1/4 inch compression nut for securing plastic water lines in refrigerators and ice makers. Replace worn, cracked, or missing nuts to prevent leaks.

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.

The Icemaker Fill Tube Fitting is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part connects the water supply line to the icemaker, ensuring a seamless and leak-free delivery of water into the icemaker mold.  

Causes of a bad Icemaker Fill Tube Fitting can include wear and tear over time, mineral buildup from hard water, which can block the water flow or damage the fitting, and improper installation that may lead to leaks or restricted water flow.

Symptoms of a bad Icemaker Fill Tube Fitting include:

• Water leakage at the connection points, leading to potential water damage or ice buildup in the freezer
• Insufficient ice production if the fitting is partially blocked or not properly connected, restricting water flow to the icemaker
• Unusual noise during the icemaker fill cycle, indicating a potential issue with the fitting

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