• Symptoms can include condensation or moisture around the door, warm spots, frost near the door edge, or the door not closing fully

• Disconnect power; allow the door area and new gasket to warm to room temperature
• Soften the new gasket in warm water to relax bends before installation
• Remove the old gasket; seat the new one fully into the channel, starting at the corners—do not stretch
• Use gentle, low heat (hair dryer) to smooth waves; perform a "paper test" around the perimeter and adjust hinges if needed

• Provides the connection point for easy filter installation and removal
• Typical symptoms: leaks around the filter area, low/no water flow, or a filter that won't seat or eject properly

• Disconnect power and shut off the household water supply
• Dispense water to relieve pressure; place a towel to catch residual water
• Note tube routing; release tubing from quick-connect fittings and remove mounting screws to swap the housing; transfer any brackets or screws as needed
• Restore water and power, then check all connections for leaks and flush to clear air from the lines

• Interfaces with the dispenser drive to move ice through the chute
• Supports cubed/crushed dispensing when equipped
• Common symptoms of failure: no ice dispensing, ice only crushes or won't crush, visible cracks or broken/stripped drive engagement

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the existing bin; empty any remaining ice and clear the chute
• Align the new container with the drive coupler and rails; slide in until fully seated
• Restore power and test ice dispensing (cubed/crushed if equipped)

The Water Filter Cap is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is a decorative cover that fits over the water filter, providing a neat and finished appearance to the filter housing area.

This evaporator defrost heater melts frost from the freezer's evaporator coil during the automatic defrost cycle, restoring proper airflow and cooling. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent recurring ice buildup and temperature swings.

• Heats the evaporator coil at set intervals to clear ice
• Maintains airflow so the fresh food section and freezer cool consistently
• Common signs of failure: heavy frost on the back freezer panel or evaporator
• Other symptoms may include warm refrigerator temperatures, reduced airflow, or fan noise from ice contact

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate PPE
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel; defrost ice with warm air/steam—avoid sharp tools
• Reinstall in the original position; keep wiring clear of the fan and moving/hot parts; ensure secure harness connections
• After reassembly, verify the defrost cycle per service instructions; if frost returns, also check the defrost thermostat/bi-metal and control

When the damper control assembly fails, you'll know it. It will be stuck in one of two positions - closed or open. If it's stuck closed, your refrigerator compartment won't cool down at all and things will start to warm up. But if it's stuck open, too much cold air will rush in and your food will start freezing over. The damper control cannot be fixed and will need to be replaced.
