• Restores proper tension and positioning when the original strap is cracked, stretched, or torn
• Helps prevent the bale or handle from detaching or sagging under normal use
• Reduces rattling or loose-handle symptoms caused by a compromised strap

• One replacement bale strap

• High-level replacement: remove access panel or trim as required, detach the old strap, and fasten the new strap in the same orientation
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts to prevent breakage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific safety procedures before servicing

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption
