Parts for Whirlpool 5VGI6FARAF01: 04 - Motor And Ice Container Parts

The Ice Container Assembly is an OEM component for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is the bin that collects and stores ice produced by the ice maker. With its precise design and durable construction, the ice container allows ice cubes to easily drop down through the chute from the ice maker.

Causes of a bad ice container assembly can include cracks or broken parts that prevent proper operation. Over many uses, normal wear and tear may compromise its ability to effectively store and retain ice.

Symptoms of a bad ice container assembly include:

• Ice cubes dropping outside of the container and accumulating elsewhere  
• Difficulty removing cubes from the container
• Cracks or openings that compromise insulation and cause premature melting

This replacement is also compatible with Kenmore, KitchenAid, and select Maytag models.

This fan scroll is the blower housing that directs airflow from the blower motor to the appliance's ducts, helping maintain proper circulation. It replaces a damaged or warped housing to restore efficient airflow and reduce noise. What it does:

• Channels air from the blower motor into the appliance air path for cooling or venting.
• Helps maintain consistent temperatures and airflow for proper operation.
• Can reduce vibration or rubbing noises caused by a cracked or deformed housing.
• Supports the blower motor assembly and seals the motor-to-duct interface.

• One fan scroll / blower housing.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Installation may require removal of the blower motor and nearby panels; handle motor and impeller carefully.
• Inspect and reuse or replace any required mounting hardware, gaskets, or seals as needed—only what explicitly ships is included.
• If you hear unusual noises after installation, recheck alignment and clearance between the impeller and the scroll.

The Motor-Evaporator is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It powers the cooling system responsible for maintaining proper internal temperatures. The evaporator motor functions by circulating refrigerant through coils located behind the refrigerator liner. 

Symptoms of a bad motor evaporator include:

• Fluctuating interior temperatures
• Inability to achieve desired cooling levels
• Ice buildup caused by inefficient airflow
• Unusual noises or vibrations from the cooling system

Causes of failure relate to wear and tear of internal motor components over time. Replacement ensures optimized temperature performance through consistent operation of refrigerant circulation.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some KitchenAid models.

This blower wheel moves air through the appliance's ventilation system so clothes dry evenly and components stay cool. It restores proper airflow to improve drying performance and reduce overheating risk. What it does:

• Spins to circulate air through the drum and exhaust vent for efficient drying
• Replaces a damaged or broken wheel that can cause reduced airflow and long dry times
• Stops abnormal noises from a cracked or out-of-balance impeller
• Helps prevent overheating caused by restricted or insufficient airflow

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Inspect the mounting shaft, housing, and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware
• Ensure correct wheel orientation and secure fit to avoid vibration or rubbing

A small rubber mounting grommet that cushions and protects components where they pass through or sit against a chassis or housing. Replaces worn or damaged grommets to reduce vibration and keep parts properly positioned. What it does:

• Provides a vibration-dampening cushion for mounted parts or wiring
• Protects wires, hoses, and metal edges from abrasion at pass-throughs
• Helps keep components aligned and secure during operation
• Worn or cracked grommets can cause rattling, rubbing noises, or movement of parts

• One replacement rubber grommet

• Disconnect power before starting any repair
• Access may require removing panels or trim—refer to your model's service manual or diagram
• Inspect surrounding parts and replace any additional worn fasteners or seals as needed
• Use appropriate tools and take care not to damage wiring or components when installing

This ice box divider fits inside the refrigerator's ice container to separate sections and guide ice to the dispenser. Replacing a cracked or missing divider helps prevent jams and keeps cubed or crushed ice dispensing the way it should.

• Separates the ice bin interior and channels ice toward the auger/dispenser path
• Helps maintain proper cubed/crushed ice selection and flow
• Reduces spillover and clumping that can block dispensing
• Common symptoms of failure: poor or no ice dispense, inconsistent cubed/crushed output, or ice overflowing inside the bin

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin, empty remaining ice, and locate the internal divider
• Transfer any reusable hardware/clips and install the new divider in the same orientation
• Reinstall the bin, restore power, and test both cubed and crushed dispense

This gasket for the damper assembly provides a replacement seal that helps keep compartments properly isolated and reduces air leakage. Replacing a worn gasket restores more consistent airflow and supports stable internal temperatures. What it does:

• Seals the damper opening to reduce unwanted air transfer between compartments.
• Helps the damper close and regulate airflow for more consistent temperature control.
• Common symptoms of a failing gasket: temperature swings, frost or moisture buildup, and noisy or improperly closing damper.
• Restoring a proper seal can improve cooling consistency and help avoid overworking the compressor.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service.
• Remove interior items and any trim panels needed for damper access; use gentle prying to avoid damage.
• Seat the new gasket fully into the damper groove and verify smooth damper movement before replacing panels and contents.

This replacement screw secures specified refrigerator components—such as covers, brackets, and internal panels—so they stay properly mounted. Replace a missing, stripped, or corroded fastener to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and reliable operation.

• Provides the correct fastener for locations identified in your model's parts diagram
• Helps prevent looseness, vibration, and rattling of panels or brackets
• Replace if the head is stripped, threads are worn, or the screw is missing
• Symptoms can include loose parts, gaps, or noises from movement

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water if working near the ice maker or dispenser
• Match length and type to the original; follow your model's parts diagram for placement
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing, especially into plastic
• Keep track of screw positions; do not mix different screw lengths or styles

This mounting bracket secures internal panels and components to restore proper alignment and support. It replaces a worn or broken bracket to reduce rattling and keep parts correctly positioned for safe operation. What it does:

• Provides a stable attachment point for panels or assemblies
• Stops movement that can cause rattling, noise, or misalignment
• Restores proper fit between connected parts after damage or wear
• Helps prevent strain on adjacent components that can lead to failure

• High-level replacement: remove nearby panels or fasteners to access and swap the bracket
• Use correct fasteners and torque; replace any damaged clips or screws
• Disconnect power before working on electrical appliances and follow safety procedures

The Spacer is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators. Located within refrigerator door walls, it maintains precise alignment between internal insulation and outer door panels.

Causes of a bad spacer include cracks or breaks developing from repeated door openings and closings. Prolonged very low temperatures can also make plastic prone to snapping.

Symptoms of a bad spacer include: 

• Misaligned or loose door walls and panels
• Cold air leakage around the door perimeter
• Difficulty closing doors completely flat
• Visible broken pieces inside door walls

This OEM Whirlpool replacement spacer restores critical door insulation integrity. Its durable construction supports tight door seals to maintain interior climate control.

Replace yours if any issues arise. This part is also compatible with some GE, Crosley, and select Kenmore side-by-side models. Reliable seal performance relies on an OEM spacer replacement when failing.
