The Water Reservoir Tubing is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a flexible plastic tubing that replaces the water reservoir and holds the water for the ice maker and dispenser.

Causes can include cracks from heat or cold exposure over time, punctures from sharp edges during installation, or deterioration of plastic tubing that impacts integrity.

Symptoms of bad water reservoir tubing include:

• Inaccurate or inconsistent ice production
• Leaks or water spills near the reservoir or ice maker
• Kinks or ruptures in the tubing that obstruct water flow
• Mineral buildup that clogs or restricts the line

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

Note: As per manufacture this is no longer a tank. The tank style has been updated with coiled tubing.

This fan motor retainer secures the refrigerator's fan motor to its mounting bracket or shroud, reducing vibration and keeping the fan aligned so air circulates properly for consistent cooling.

• Secures the fan motor to its bracket or shroud
• Maintains proper fan alignment and clearance for consistent airflow
• Helps reduce vibration, buzzing, or rattling from a loose motor
• A worn or missing retainer may present as scraping fan noises or uneven airflow

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing; allow moving parts to stop and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the fan area per your model
• Transfer the motor into the new retainer and reinstall using existing hardware as required
• Ensure the fan blade spins freely and clears the shroud before restoring power

Rod retainer clip secures a support rod or shaft to keep moving parts aligned and stable during operation. Replacing a worn or broken clip prevents rattling, binding, or components falling out and helps restore proper mechanical function. What it does:

• Holds a support rod or shaft in place to maintain alignment of moving components.
• Prevents rods from sliding out or shifting, which can cause rattling, binding, or misalignment.
• Replace if the clip is bent, cracked, corroded, or no longer grips the rod securely.
• Common symptom: loose or misaligned parts, unusual noises, or components that detach during use.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing the appliance.
• Access may require removing panels, covers, or nearby components—follow the OEM service manual.
• Remove the old clip and carefully press or snap the replacement into place; avoid over-bending the clip.

This replacement screw secures panels, trim pieces and small assemblies so covers and components stay aligned and rattle-free. It's a simple, direct fastening part used when an original screw is missing or damaged. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, control housings and other small components to the appliance chassis
• Replaces missing, worn or stripped screws that cause loose panels or rattling noises
• Restores correct alignment of covers and trims after service or disassembly
• Provides a direct, hardware-level repair instead of temporary fixes

• Disconnect power (and gas, where applicable) and ensure the appliance is cool before starting.
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and turn until snug; do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts.
• Keep removed hardware for reference; replace like-for-like if threads or inserts are damaged.
• Wear eye protection and gloves when working on appliances.

This is a flat plain washer used to distribute load and space hardware on appliance assemblies. It helps keep bolts and screws seated and reduces wear on mating surfaces for more secure fastener connections. What it does:

• Provides a flat bearing surface to spread clamp load and protect parts from fastener damage
• Maintains proper spacing and alignment for mounted components
• Helps prevent fastener loosening from vibration when used with the correct bolt or screw
• Commonly used on chassis, suspension, and bracket connections

• One plain flat washer

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing the appliance
• Replace only with the same washer size and thickness as the original for proper fit
• Tighten fasteners to secure but avoid over-torquing which can deform the washer
