Parts for Whirlpool EV209NBTQ01: 02 - Liner Parts

This defrost thermostat is a bi-metal switch that senses evaporator temperature during defrost and opens to stop heater power once the coil warms. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrost, reducing ice buildup and airflow-related cooling problems.

• Monitors evaporator coil temperature during defrost
• Opens the heater circuit at a set temperature; recloses when cold for the next defrost
• Helps protect against overheating and ensures consistent defrost operation
• Common symptoms: heavy frost on the evaporator, weak airflow/warm fresh food section, repeated ice buildup after manual defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the thermostat at the evaporator behind the freezer's rear panel
• Move wires one-for-one from the old part; mount in firm contact with the coil/tubing and secure leads away from the fan
• After installation, the thermostat should show continuity when cold and open circuit when warm

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.

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 push-button door switch senses when your refrigerator door opens and closes to control the interior light. Replace a worn or stuck switch to restore reliable lighting and proper on/off operation when the door moves. What it does:

• Turns the interior light on when the door opens and off when it closes
• Common fix for a light that won't turn on with the door open
• Resolves lights that stay on continuously with the door closed
• Addresses intermittent lighting from a sticking or damaged plunger

• One door switch

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Carefully pry the old switch from the liner; protect the surface to avoid damage
• Transfer wires to the new switch one at a time to maintain correct connections
• Press the new switch fully into place and restore power to test operation

Original Whirlpool light bulb, 40 watt.

Symptoms of needing to replace the light bulb include:

• Dimming or flickering light
• Complete lack of illumination inside the appliance
• Visible signs of damage or burnout on the bulb itself

Causes of a faulty light bulb can include normal burnout over time, electrical issues, or physical damage due to impact or vibrations.

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

This upper shelf slide stabilizes and guides a refrigerator wire shelf, letting it slide smoothly and stay level for easier access to stored items. Ideal when a shelf feels loose, binds, or doesn't glide. What it does

• Supports and guides the wire shelf so it slides in and out smoothly.
• Restores proper shelf alignment and prevents tipping or sagging.
• Reduces shelf binding or catching when moving items on/off the shelf.
• Compatible with upper shelf locations that use a wire-slide mounting.

• Remove power or open doors per appliance manual before servicing to avoid injury.
• May require removal of the shelf and use of basic hand tools; follow OEM instructions.
• Inspect mating track and mounting clips for wear; replace damaged hardware as needed.

The Icemaker is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for producing ice in the freezer compartment. The icemaker automatically fills with water, freezes it into cubes, and then ejects the ice into the storage bin. This icemaker ensures a consistent supply of ice for your household.

Over time, icemakers can fail due to wear, malfunctioning components, or issues with the water supply. Common causes include a faulty water inlet valve, clogged water lines, or electrical malfunctions in the icemaker's internal mechanisms.

Symptoms of a bad icemaker include:

• No ice production
• Ice cubes that are too small or irregular in shape
• Ice not ejecting into the storage bin
• Leaks or ice buildup around the icemaker

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