The Thermistor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This temperature-sensitive sensor monitors conditions inside refrigerator and freezer compartments. It provides critical feedback to the electronic control module, regulating cool air temperature in both sections.

Symptoms of a faulty thermistor include:

• Fluctuating temperatures where sections become too warm or cold  
• Frequent cycling of evaporator fans and cooling components
• Defrost issues or Er/Ed error codes shown on displays

Causes can involve regular exposure to changing interior environments over many years. Mineral deposits accumulating may lead to sensor surfaces becoming insulated. Physical stress from overloading could potentially crack the thermistor over time as well. 

This OEM replacement part is compatible with some Kenmore Elite models too.

This defrost heater melts frost and ice buildup on the evaporator so a frost-free refrigerator can complete its automatic defrost cycle and maintain normal cooling. Designed to replace a failed evaporator heater and restore proper defrost operation. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator during the defrost cycle to remove frost and ice buildup.
• Helps restore normal cooling when frost accumulation prevents efficient airflow.
• Common symptoms: visible frost/ice on evaporator, freezer running longer than normal, or heat element showing open continuity.
• Works with the refrigerator's defrost control and thermostat to run only during defrost cycles.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock risk.
• Access may require removing the evaporator cover; follow the manufacturer's service instructions.
• Handle the element and evaporator fins carefully to avoid damage; secure heater with original clips or fasteners.
• Test for continuity before and after installation and confirm proper defrost cycle operation once reassembled.

This heater clamp secures a heating element in the correct position within the appliance. Proper support keeps the element stable so it operates quietly and melts frost as designed for consistent, reliable performance.

• Holds the heater firmly in place to maintain correct alignment
• Reduces movement and vibration that can cause noise or wear
• Helps promote even frost melt during defrost for steady cooling
• Symptoms of a damaged or missing clamp can include recurring frost/ice buildup, a heater out of position, or rattling from the freezer area

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the heater/evaporator by removing the freezer panel as applicable
• Note the original clamp orientation and routing before removal
• Use needle-nose pliers to install; avoid damaging evaporator fins and do not deform the heater—position it exactly as originally placed

This is a replacement door seal that forms a secure, flexible barrier around the appliance door to help prevent leaks and maintain proper temperature and operation. It restores the seal between the door and cabinet for reliable performance. What it does:

• Creates a watertight/airtight barrier at the door to prevent leaks and spills
• Helps maintain correct internal temperature or pressure during operation
• Reduces vibration and rattling by cushioning the door edge
• Worn or damaged seals can cause visible leaks, poor cycle performance, or unusual noises

• One replacement door seal

• For safety, disconnect power and water before starting
• Inspect mounting channel and door edge for debris or damage; clean before installing
• Seat the seal evenly around the full door per OEM alignment and trim instructions if required

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

A small metal retaining clip that secures a bi-metal thermostat or temperature sensor in place, helping maintain proper contact and accurate temperature sensing for reliable appliance operation. Simple, durable replacement part. What it does

• Holds a bi-metal thermostat or temperature sensor firmly against its mounting point or probe.
• Maintains consistent contact to support accurate temperature sensing and control.
• Can help stop intermittent temperature-related issues caused by a loose or damaged clip.
• Designed for direct replacement where a spring-style or formed metal retainer is required.

• One bi-metal retaining clip (single clip).

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair.
• Removal/installation typically requires small pliers or a flat screwdriver; avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
• Verify clip orientation and that the sensor/thermostat is seated fully before securing.
