This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

This insul-sound deadening pad reduces vibration and noise by dampening panels and components in laundry and kitchen appliances. It's a small adhesive-backed sound/isolation pad used where noise or rattles transfer through metal surfaces. What it does

• Dampens rattles and reduces structure-borne noise from panels, cabinets and housings.
• Helps isolate vibrating components from appliance chassis to lower perceived sound.
• Commonly applied behind control panels, cabinet walls or on motor mounts to cut vibration transmission.
• Useful when worn, detached or hardened factory pads allow increased noise.

• One insul-sound deadening pad

• Disconnect power before servicing an appliance to avoid shock or injury.
• Clean and dry mounting surface; press pad firmly to ensure adhesive contact.
• Replace only in the original location; do not cover vents or moving parts.
• If adhesive is weak, use OEM-approved adhesive; avoid solvents that may damage finishes.

A replacement dryer heater assembly that restores heat generation so your electric dryer can warm and dry loads efficiently. Installs inside the dryer cabinet and delivers the heat source required for normal drying cycles. What it does:

• Produces the hot air needed to dry clothes during the dryer's heating cycle
• Commonly used when the dryer runs but there is no or little heat
• Helps address long dry times caused by a failed or open heating element
• Works with the dryer's blower and thermostat systems to maintain airflow and temperature

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Inspect and test thermal fuses, thermostats and wiring; replace any faulty components
• Handle terminals and the element carefully to avoid damage; ensure correct orientation and secure connections
• Follow the dryer model's service manual for step-by-step removal and reinstallation

This rubber grommet cushions and seals a wiring, hose, or shaft opening to help prevent abrasion, reduce vibration, and maintain a snug fit for quieter, safer appliance operation. What it does:

• Protects wiring, hoses, or moving shafts from chafing and wear
• Helps seal openings to limit water, air, or lint intrusion
• Dampens vibration and reduces noise where panels or components meet
• Worn or damaged grommets can cause rubbing sounds, visible wear, loose hoses, or leaks

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Push-fit replacement in most applications; a small screwdriver or needle-nose pliers can help with removal or alignment
• Inspect surrounding seals, hoses, and mounting surfaces and replace damaged parts as needed

The Motor-Evap DC is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. As the evaporator fan motor, it is responsible for circulating air within the refrigerator compartment.

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include normal wear and tear over time, overheating due to inadequate ventilation or dust buildup restricting airflow, or failure due to power surges or spikes.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor include:

• Inadequate or inconsistent air circulation and cooling within the refrigerator
• Frost or ice buildup due to stagnant air
• Unpleasant odors from lack of air movement
• Abnormally high energy usage
• Strange noises emanating from the cooling system

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

The Evaporator Fan Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to circulate air over the evaporator coils, ensuring efficient cooling throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan blade helps maintain an even temperature, contributing to the appliance's overall performance.

Causes of a bad fan blade can include wear and tear over time, ice buildup interfering with the blade, or physical damage from accidental impact or obstruction by debris.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan blade include:

• Unusual noises such as rattling or scraping
• Inconsistent or insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer
• The refrigerator running longer than usual
• Visible damage or warping of the fan blade

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

This bracket provides a secure mounting point for internal appliance components, restoring proper alignment and reducing vibration for smooth operation. Use it to replace a worn, bent or missing support bracket. What it does:

• Secures panels, assemblies or components to the appliance frame to prevent movement
• Restores proper alignment and fit where a bracket has failed or been removed
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration or misaligned parts caused by a damaged bracket
• Simple, passive component—no electrical function

• Bracket

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Inspect mounting holes and mating surfaces for damage before installing
• Reuse or replace original fasteners as appropriate; tighten securely but avoid over-torquing

This wire jumper connects two terminals to complete an electrical path, restoring power between components. It's a straightforward replacement that helps fix interrupted circuits so the appliance can operate normally. What it does:

• Bridges terminals to complete a circuit between controls or components
• Restores power flow when an internal jumper is damaged or corroded
• Commonly used where a short fixed connection is required

• One wire jumper

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service to avoid shock or damage
• Use proper crimps/connectors and secure routing to keep the wire clear of moving or hot parts

This rubber grommet provides a tidy, protective seal where hoses, wires, or shafts pass through the appliance cabinet—helping prevent chafing, reduce vibration noise, and maintain proper sealing around openings. What it does:

• Cushions and protects wiring or hoses from rubbing against metal edges
• Helps maintain a seal to reduce water or air bypass where fitted
• Dampens vibration and reduces related noise at the penetration point
• Keeps openings finished and helps prevent further component wear

• Disconnect power (and water for washers) before starting any repair
• Inspect the mounting area for sharp edges or damage; replace if surrounding parts are compromised
• Push the grommet into the opening and seat evenly; do not stretch excessively
