This drain pan heater keeps the refrigerator's drain area warm to prevent ice buildup and help melt frost so condensate can flow to the drain pan. It helps reduce standing water and drainage blockages caused by frozen drains. What it does:

• Warms the drain pan/drain path to help melt ice and allow condensate to flow
• Helps prevent water from pooling under or inside the cabinet due to frozen drains
• Can reduce recurring thaw/freeze cycles that lead to clogs and overflow
• Common part to check when water leaks or persistent ice formation occur near the evaporator or drain

• One drain pan heater assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work
• Typically accessed from the back or bottom; may require removing a service panel
• Handle wiring and mounting hardware carefully; match connector orientation when reattaching

This is a Whirlpool refrigerator evaporator. The evaporator is the large, winding piece on the rear of a refrigerator. When touched, these components are extremely hot. Refrigerant is propelled through these by the compressor. The extremely cold refrigerant, coupled with the high temperature of the evaporator tubes, cause a reaction that produces cold air when the refrigerant reaches the freezer or refrigerator area. If the evaporator is faulty, the refrigerator area may continue to remain at temperature, but the freezer portion will stop freezing. Cool temperatures may be maintained, but freezing levels will no longer be met. In some cases, the entire until may cease to produce low temperatures at all. This is an indicator of a completely broken component. This product is intended for use in Whirlpool and Kenmore appliances. It is a genuine OEM product and is sourced exclusively from the manufacturer. This part is only available as an individual component.

Defrost heater that melts frost and ice from the freezer evaporator to help maintain proper cooling and airflow. Replacing a failed heater restores normal defrost cycles and reduces recurring frost buildup. What it does:

• Warms the evaporator during defrost cycles to remove accumulated frost and ice.
• Helps prevent blocked airflow that can cause uneven cooling or temperature fluctuations.
• Common symptoms of a failing heater: excessive frost/ice on the evaporator, reduced cooling performance, or persistent icing in the freezer compartment.
• Verify electrical continuity of the heater before replacing.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover and thawing heavy ice first.
• Handle evaporator fins and refrigeration components carefully to avoid damage.
• Refer to your model's service manual for removal, wiring, and mounting details.

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

A replacement drain pan that captures defrost and condensation water to keep it contained and away from the cabinet and floor. Restores the appliance's normal water-collection path and helps reduce leaks. What it does:

• Collects melting ice and condensation from the evaporator to prevent water from pooling under the appliance.
• Channels collected water toward the drain system so it evaporates or exits as designed.
• Stops common symptoms like puddles or moisture under the unit and musty odors caused by standing water.
• Fits under the evaporator/coil area to restore proper water management.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service to avoid electrical hazards.
• Remove the required access panels or move the appliance per the manufacturer's guidance to reach the pan.
• Lift out the old pan carefully—it may contain standing water—and position the replacement so the drain outlet and routing match the OEM layout.
• After installation, restore power and check for proper water flow during a defrost cycle; inspect surrounding seals and tubing for proper seating.

This dampener cushions and stabilizes the washer tub during spin cycles to reduce vibration and noise for smoother operation. It replaces worn or damaged suspension dampeners to help restore proper tub balance and quieter performance. What it does:

• Absorbs and dampens tub movement during agitation and spin to reduce vibration and noise.
• Helps maintain proper tub alignment for more even spinning and less wobble.
• Commonly replaced when the washer rocks, thumps, or makes excessive noise during spin.
• Works with the washer's suspension system to protect other components from shock and wear.

• 1 dampener

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the washer cabinet or front panel; follow OEM service instructions.
• Inspect mounting studs and clips for wear; replace as needed to ensure a secure fit.
