This baffle sits in the ice bin and supports the auger so ice feeds smoothly to the dispenser. Replace a cracked or worn baffle to restore reliable dispensing and reduce jams or grinding from the ice bucket.

• Supports and aligns the ice auger inside the bin
• Guides cubes/crushed ice toward the crusher/dispenser
• Helps prevent auger wobble, binding, or excessive noise
• Failure can show as weak/no ice dispensing or intermittent jams

• Disconnect power; remove the ice bin from the freezer/door
• Empty the bin and remove any screws/clips securing the baffle
• Transfer any reusable hardware; orient the baffle correctly around the auger
• Tighten fasteners without overtightening; reinstall bin and test dispense

This dual water inlet valve controls water flow to a refrigerator's ice maker and dispenser. Replacing a sticking or leaking valve restores proper filling and reliable dispensing while helping prevent drips, slow flow, or no ice.

• Directs household water to the ice maker and door dispenser through two independent outlets
• Opens and closes electronically via two solenoids when the control calls for water
• Common failure symptoms: no water from the dispenser, ice maker not filling, slow/weak flow, or leaks/drips at the valve
• Mineral buildup, cracks, or failed solenoids can prevent sealing or operation and warrant replacement

• Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Relieve line pressure and keep a towel or container ready for residual water
• Label and transfer tubing and wire connectors to the new valve one at a time to maintain orientation
• Restore water, check carefully for leaks, and purge air by running the dispenser

• Common symptoms: no water from dispenser, no ice production, slow/weak dispenser flow
• May also present as continuous dripping into the ice maker/dispenser or leaks around the valve body
• If water lines and filter are clear but filling is inconsistent or absent, the valve may be at fault

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel or shallow pan to catch residual water; note line and wire locations for reassembly
• Ensure tubing is fully seated in fittings; avoid overtightening plastic connections
• Restore water and power, then check all joints for leaks and run the dispenser to purge air/debris

This freezer door gasket creates an airtight seal between the door and cabinet to keep cold air in and humidity out. A tight seal helps maintain proper temperatures and reduces frost buildup and energy loss.

• Seals the freezer door perimeter to prevent warm, moist air from entering
• Helps reduce frost/ice buildup and temperature swings
• Common failure signs: torn or warped gasket, gaps around the door, frost forming quickly, door not sealing unless pushed
• Restores proper door closure and sealing performance

• Unplug the appliance before service
• Soften the gasket in warm water or with a low-heat hair dryer to ease installation and improve fit
• Remove and reinstall retainer screws or press-in tabs as applicable; work evenly around the door
• Check door alignment and perform a dollar-bill test around the perimeter to confirm a uniform seal

This refrigerator compartment wire harness restores reliable electrical connections to components in the fresh-food section. Replacing a damaged or heat-stressed harness helps resolve intermittent outages and ensures power and signals reach RC components as designed. What it does:

• Distributes power and control signals between the main wiring and refrigerator-compartment components
• Helps address issues like RC lights not working or intermittent/no power to fresh-food section components
• Replaces harnesses with broken conductors, overheated/browned insulation, corroded, or loose connectors
• Maintains correct routing to prevent pinched, shorted, or chafed wires

• 1 refrigerator compartment wire harness assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; do not work on live circuits
• Note the original routing and take photos to match clip locations and connector paths
• Seat keyed connectors fully; do not force—verify pin alignment and locking tabs
• Avoid pinching the harness when reinstalling panels and covers; restore power and test operation

This electronic control board is the brain of the appliance, directing power and timing to components so cycles run as designed. Replacing a failed board restores proper operation and consistent, reliable performance. What it does:

• Controls cycle timing and sends power to motors, valves, heaters, and other loads
• Processes inputs from sensors and switches to start and advance cycles
• Resolve a unit that won't start or appears dead/unresponsive
• Correct erratic operation, stuck cycles, or recurring error codes

• 1 electronic control board

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water or gas if applicable
• Use ESD precautions and handle the board by its edges only
• Document wire locations or take photos; move connectors one at a time and reuse mounting hardware
• Some models require calibration or programming after installation—follow the tech sheet/service manual

This is an ice maker assembly that is made to be installed on refrigerator and freezer units. This part includes both the ice maker and the housing. The purpose of this part is to make ice that can then be dispensed. In the event that the ice maker is no longer making ice cubes, the ice maker assembly will need to be replaced. Over time, this component could become cracked or broken due to exposure to cold temperatures. Be sure to unplug the refrigerator from the power source before replacing this part. Store any food that could perish in a temperature safe location so that it doesn't go bad during the replacement process.The ice maker is sold individually and sourced straight from the manufacturer. This specific part is compatible with refrigerator and freezer units that are manufactured by the KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Kenmore Elite, Amana, Crosley, Maytag, and Inglis brands.
