The Timer is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is essential for controlling the defrost cycle of the refrigerator, ensuring that the appliance operates efficiently by periodically melting any frost buildup on the evaporator coils. By regulating the defrosting process, the timer helps maintain the optimal temperature and energy efficiency of the refrigerator.

Causes of a bad timer can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or exposure to power surges. When the timer fails, the defrost cycle may not run correctly, leading to issues with frost buildup and inefficient cooling.

Symptoms of a bad timer include:

• The refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator being too warm or too cold
• The defrost cycle not initiating or running too frequently

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

This is a 8-15 x 2.00 in. hex washer head, self-locking screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It provides a durable, vibration-resistant fastener that helps keep parts aligned and stable. What it does:

• Fastens and secures panels, brackets, or assemblies to the appliance frame
• Self-locking design helps resist loosening from vibration or thermal cycling
• Hex washer head gives a larger bearing surface to prevent pull-through on thin materials
• Commonly replaced when screws are missing, stripped, or causing loose/rattling parts

• Use the correct driver/socket to avoid rounding the hex head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or damage components
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working inside the unit
• Replace any stripped or damaged mating hardware for secure fastening

This mechanical thermostat monitors temperature and opens or closes the circuit at a fixed set point to control heat and prevent overheating. Replacing a failed thermostat restores safe operation and consistent performance. What it does:

• Senses surface or component temperature and switches the circuit at a calibrated threshold
• Helps protect heaters, motors, and controls from thermal damage due to over-temperature
• Common symptoms of failure: no heat, shuts off mid-cycle, won't start until cooled, or intermittent operation
• Restores proper temperature control after a thermostat sticks open/closed or drifts out of spec

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power at the breaker (and shut off gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Note wire positions and transfer leads one-for-one to the new thermostat
• Mount flush against the sensing surface with original screws/clips; reinstall any insulation or thermal interface material as found
• Correct the root cause (blocked vents, failed fan, restricted airflow, or buildup) before returning the appliance to service

Size: 8 x 1-1/4 inch.

Size: 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

This light lens is the replacement dome cover that protects and diffuses the refrigerator interior light, restoring even illumination and preventing direct bulb contact. It replaces cracked, yellowed or missing lenses. What it does

• Protects the interior light bulb from spills and contact
• Diffuses and softens the light for even illumination inside the compartment
• Stops rattling or loose cover noise when the original lens is broken or warped
• Helps prevent food or debris from hitting the bulb and causing premature failure

• One light lens (dome cover)

Symptoms of a bad thermostat tube shield include:

• Inconsistent or inaccurate refrigerator temperatures
• The refrigerator running continuously or cycling on and off frequently
• Visible damage or wear to the shield
• Difficulty in maintaining the desired temperature settings

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