The Adhesive is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, designed for securing and sealing various components within the appliances. This adhesive is ideal for use in situations where a durable and heat-resistant bond is necessary.Size: 2 oz. tube. This silicone rubber adhesive can be used on door gaskets, felt seals, and much more.

Over time, seals and insulation can become loose or detached due to wear, heat, or mechanical action, potentially compromising the appliance's functionality, efficiency, or safety.

The need for this adhesive may become apparent through symptoms such as:

• Loose seals or gaskets that result in heat loss, inefficiency, or the escape of moisture.
• Detached insulation leading to increased noise, heat transfer, or loss of energy efficiency.
• Components that have become unattached, affecting the appliance's performance or structural integrity.

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

The Cutting Grid Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ice machines. It cuts sheets of frozen ice into individual cubes, ensuring ice is available in uniform sizes. Each kit contains 8 screws and approximately 10 feet of wire. Two kits are required to replace both directions of the cutting grid to ensure comprehensive restoration of the ice maker’s functionality.

Causes of a bad Cutting Grid Kit can be attributed to mineral deposits buildup, which can obstruct the cutting process, electrical malfunctions affecting the heating element, or physical damage to the grid wires. 

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Cutting Grid Kit are:

• Ice sheets not being cut into cubes
• Accumulation of uncut ice in the bin
• The heating element fails to warm up
• Inconsistent ice cube sizes

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

A threaded screw used to secure appliance components where an 8-16 thread is specified. Provides a straightforward replacement fastener to restore original fit and keep panels, brackets, and internal parts held securely. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, trim, and small assemblies that use an 8-16 threaded fastener.
• Replaces missing, corroded, stripped, or damaged screws to stop rattling, gaps, or loose parts.
• Restores reliable mechanical connection after service or part replacement.
• Compatible where the OEM specifies an 8-16 screw for mounting or securing components.

• Use the correct driver to avoid stripping the head; start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading.
• Tighten until secure but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to mounting holes or plastic parts.
• If working near electrical components, disconnect power and follow all safety precautions.
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged before installing this screw.

This terminal block cover protects the appliance's electrical connection area from accidental contact and debris, helping reduce the risk of shorts and corrosion while keeping wiring secure and contained. What it does:

• Covers and shields the power terminal/block where the power cord connects
• Helps prevent accidental contact with live terminals and reduces short risk
• Keeps out dust, lint and debris that can cause corrosion or arcing
• Useful when the original cover is cracked, missing or showing burn marks

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing electrical components
• Typically installs over the terminal block and secures with the existing fastener(s); inspect mounting hardware for wear
• Replace if cracked, melted or if terminals are exposed; ensure cover seats fully before restoring power

This refrigerator compressor circulates refrigerant to cool the appliance and restore proper temperatures. Replaces a failed compressor to help the refrigerator maintain set temperatures when the cooling system is compromised. What it does:

• Pumps refrigerant through the sealed cooling system to enable heat exchange and cooling.
• Runs the refrigeration cycle so the refrigerator and freezer can reach and hold target temperatures.
• Common symptom linkage: fridge not cooling, compressor humming or not running, or frequent cycling.
• Can cause system pressure issues if damaged or leaking.

• One compressor (single sealed unit)

• Power should be disconnected before beginning work and the refrigerant must be recovered per regulations.
• System evacuation, leak testing, and proper recharge with the correct refrigerant are necessary after replacement.
• May require replacement of mounting hardware, start device, or filter-drier—verify system condition during service.

Sealer for refrigerant line insulation.
