Jenn-Air Refrigerator Shaft Or Pin

The Drawer Gear Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This kit is designed to repair or replace the gear system that operates the sliding or rolling mechanism of a refrigerator drawer. It includes all necessary gears and components to ensure smooth operation of the drawer, allowing for easy access to fruits, vegetables, meats, or other items stored inside. 

Causes for replacement can vary, including wear and tear from regular use, damage from overloading the drawer, or accidental breakage. Over time, the gears can wear down, lose teeth, or become misaligned, leading to poor drawer performance.

Symptoms of a bad Drawer Gear Kit include:

• The drawer is difficult to open or close
• A grinding or clicking noise when the drawer is moved
• The drawer sticks or jams during operation

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

This replacement shaft is the mechanical link that transmits rotation and keeps aligned parts moving together inside your appliance. Replacing a worn or stripped shaft restores smooth, reliable operation of the connected mechanism. What it does:

• Transfers motor or gear torque to the mated component
• Maintains alignment and support within the assembly
• Helps ensure smooth engagement of gears, levers, or augers
• Common symptoms of a failed shaft: connected part won't turn or slips, intermittent operation, grinding/clicking noises, or visible wobble/play at the interface

• 1 shaft

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water supply if applicable
• Note the original orientation and take photos to aid reassembly
• Inspect mating gears/bushings for wear and replace if needed to prevent rapid re-failure
• Align any flats/splines and seat the shaft without forcing; tighten fasteners to manufacturer guidance

A roll pin (spring pin) that secures rotating or sliding components by fitting into matched holes to hold shafts, levers, or brackets in place. Replaces a worn or damaged pin to restore proper mechanical engagement. What it does:

• Holds shafts, levers or hinges in position by expanding into drilled holes for a snug, vibration-resistant fit
• Keeps pulleys, rollers, or linkages from moving out of alignment or sliding off their shafts
• Common symptom: loose or wobbling pulley, lever, or shaft where the retaining pin is worn or broken
• Common symptom: noisy or intermittent operation caused by a pin that no longer secures moving parts

• Inspect mating holes and shaft for wear; replace pin with correct size to ensure secure fit
• Use appropriate pliers or a pin punch and hammer to drive the pin in or out; support the assembly to avoid damage
• Wear eye protection when installing or removing roll pins—pins can snap or fly out under force
• If pin is difficult to remove or install, consider using penetrating oil or heating only per OEM guidance
