Parts for Whirlpool EV120NXRQ03: 02 - Liner Parts

This control housing cover protects the appliance's control components and wiring while providing a finished look. Replacing a damaged cover helps prevent dirt, moisture, and accidental contact with controls and wiring. What it does:

• Shields control board, switches, and wiring from dust, spills, and debris
• Prevents accidental contact with electrical components for safer operation
• Restores a secure, finished appearance to the control area
• Helps keep buttons and knobs aligned and functioning properly

• One control housing cover

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Remove any knobs or trim necessary to access mounting fasteners
• Handle gently to avoid cracking plastic; replace any broken clips or screws

A replacement temperature control thermostat that restores reliable temperature regulation in the appliance. Helps maintain consistent cooling by signaling the system to cycle compressor and fans as needed. What it does:

• Senses compartment temperature and signals the cooling system to turn on or off
• Prevents overcooling or undercooling when operating correctly
• Commonly replaced when the unit runs constantly, won't cool, or cycles irregularly
• Works as the direct mechanical/electrical control for normal temperature cycling

• One thermostat temperature control

• Disconnect power before attempting any service to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the capillary tube/sensor carefully — avoid kinks or sharp bends
• Basic hand tools are usually required; refer to the appliance service manual for exact steps

This defrost timer controls when your refrigerator or freezer enters and exits the automatic defrost cycle to clear frost from the evaporator coils. Replacing a failed timer restores reliable defrosting to help maintain airflow, cooling performance, and stable temperatures.

• Advances on a timed schedule to initiate and end the defrost cycle
• Sends power to the defrost heater during defrost, then returns the system to cooling
• Helps prevent heavy frost buildup that restricts airflow and cooling
• Common symptoms of a bad timer: unit not defrosting or warming over time, heavy ice on the evaporator/cover, stuck running or stuck in defrost, or a timer that won't advance

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the timer (commonly in the control housing or machine compartment)
• Note/photograph wire positions and move leads one at a time to the new timer; mount securely
• Restore power and monitor for proper cycling; some models allow using the timer's advance slot to start a test defrost

This gate support is the structural bracket that stabilizes the gate or flap inside your appliance, keeping it aligned and moving freely. Replacing a worn support restores smooth operation and helps eliminate noise from loose or misaligned parts.

• Provides stable support for the gate/flap within the assembly
• Maintains correct alignment and clearance for smooth opening/closing
• Reduces excess movement that can cause rattling or rubbing
• Replace if the gate feels loose, binds, won't stay closed, or the support is cracked/broken

What's included: 1 gate support Install notes:

• Disconnect power; also turn off gas or water supply
• Allow the unit to cool and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the gate assembly and note fastener locations/orientation before removal
• Transfer existing hardware, secure the new support, and verify smooth gate movement before reassembly

Air duct baffle that seals and directs airflow between freezer and fresh-food compartments, helping maintain even temperatures and reduce temperature fluctuations. Replaces a worn or broken vent plug to restore proper airflow. What it does:

• Directs cold air through the refrigerator air duct to help balance temperatures between compartments.
• Seals the duct opening to limit warm air intrusion and reduce uneven cooling.
• Common symptom: refrigerator or fresh-food compartment feels warmer than expected or shows inconsistent cooling.
• Plastic replacement part; use when the existing vent plug is cracked, warped, or missing.

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid electrical shock.
• Access typically requires opening the refrigerator interior; remove shelves or bins as needed for clearance.
• Part generally snaps or slides into the duct opening—minimal tools may be required; handle clips and plastic gently to avoid breakage.

The Thermostat Tube Shield is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It functions as a barrier that covers and insulates the temperature control thermostat capillary tube. This shield ensures accurate temperature sensing and regulation by protecting the capillary tube from physical damage and external temperature influences.

Over time, the thermostat tube shield can become worn out or damaged due to factors like regular wear and tear, accidental impact, or environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature fluctuations. 

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.
