This axle roller is the replacement support shaft that lets the appliance's rotating assembly turn smoothly and quietly. Installing a new axle roller corrects wobble and reduces grinding or squealing caused by a worn shaft. What it does:

• Supports the rotating drum or rack so it spins freely and stays aligned
• Helps prevent metal-to-metal contact that causes loud noise or scraping
• Stops uneven rotation and vibration that can lead to further wear
• Restores smooth operation when an original axle is bent, worn, or broken

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Access location and removal steps vary by model; follow the OEM service manual or diagram
• Inspect related parts (pulleys, idler, glides, bearings) and replace if they show wear
• Use basic hand tools; keep fingers and loose clothing clear of moving parts during testing

This bimetal defrost thermostat controls power to the evaporator defrost heater. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrost cycling, helping prevent ice buildup on the coils and safeguarding the unit from overheating during defrost.

• Senses evaporator coil temperature and opens/closes the defrost heater circuit
• Protects against overheating by cutting heater power when the coil warms
• Works with the control/timer to complete the defrost cycle
• Common symptoms: heavy frost on the freezer back panel/evaporator, warming temperatures after several days, or a defrost heater that won't energize

• Disconnect power; remove freezer shelves and the rear panel to access the evaporator
• The thermostat is typically clipped to the evaporator tubing—note placement/orientation before removal
• Make secure electrical connections and route wires away from sharp edges and the fan
• Reassemble, restore power, and operate the defrost system properly

This small bushing fits over the hinge cam to guide the door's swing. Replacing a worn thimble restores smooth movement and alignment so the door opens and closes consistently and helps maintain a proper seal. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction bearing surface between the hinge pin and cam
• Helps control door swing and detent/self-close action
• Supports proper door alignment to reduce rubbing or sagging
• Symptoms may include popping/clicking, grinding, binding, uneven closing, or a door that doesn't fully close

• 1 door hinge cam thimble

• Disconnect power and remove items from the door before servicing
• Support the door; remove hinge cover/fasteners and lift the door off the hinge
• Replace the thimble on the hinge/cam, matching the original orientation and fully seating it
• Inspect the mating cam and hinge surfaces; replace worn parts as needed and verify gasket seal after reassembly

The cover-unit protects the appliance's control console and provides a finished appearance. It shields buttons, knobs and internal control components from dust, moisture and incidental damage so controls stay usable and the cabinet looks complete. What it does:

• Covers and protects the control console and the underlying control assembly
• Helps prevent debris and moisture from reaching buttons, switches and electronic components
• Restores the appliance's finished look when the original cover is cracked, broken or missing
• Keeps controls stable and reduces the chance of accidental contact or damage

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove any trim or console fasteners before replacing the cover
• Handle carefully to avoid scratching the finish; use proper fasteners and align tabs during reassembly
• If controls or wiring are exposed or damaged, inspect wiring and control components.

This replacement cabinet screw secures panels, brackets, and ducts in Whirlpool-built appliances so components stay aligned and secure. Replacing missing or stripped hardware helps reduce vibration, rattling, and gaps that can affect performance.

• Fastens panels, brackets, and internal components in the appliance cabinet
• Helps maintain proper alignment and reduce vibration or rattling noises
• Restores a tight fit where original hardware is missing, damaged, or stripped
• Typical symptoms: loose paneling, buzzing/rattling sounds, or parts that won't stay fastened

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Replace one fastener at a time to preserve alignment and match to the original hardware
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Do not overtighten into sheet metal

This plain washer is a small hardware spacer used in appliance assemblies. It spreads the load under a fastener to secure parts, maintain alignment, and reduce wear—helping keep brackets, hinges, and mounts tight and operating correctly. What it does

• Distributes clamping force under screws/bolts to protect surfaces
• Maintains spacing for proper alignment of assembled components
• Helps reduce metal-to-metal wear and friction at mounting points
• Replace if missing, bent, worn, or if you notice looseness or rattling around a fastened area

• 1 plain washer

This is the refrigerator's sealed-system compressor. It pressurizes and moves refrigerant through the system to remove heat from the cabinet, restoring consistent cooling performance when the original compressor has failed or lost capacity. What it does and common symptoms:

• Pumps and circulates refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat
• Maintains target temperatures in both fresh food and freezer sections
• Symptoms of failure can include: no cool/poor cooling, unit warms up after short operation, humming then clicking from the compressor area, or repeated thermal overload trips
• Runs but not cool effectively when the compressor is weak or internally damaged (after ruling out start components and charge issues)

• 1 compressor

• Disconnect power before servicing; sealed-system work involves high pressure and high temperatures
• Sealed-system repairs require EPA Section 608 certification and specialized tools (gauges, vacuum pump, brazing equipment)
• Replace the filter-drier, braze connections properly, evacuate to deep vacuum, and charge to the model's specification
• Related components (start device/overload, run capacitor, controls) are tested before condemning the compressor

This ice door motor drives the dispenser's ice chute door, opening to let ice out and closing to seal the chute. Replacing a worn motor restores proper door movement and helps reduce warm-air leaks and frost around the dispenser.

• Opens and closes the dispenser ice door (flapper) during use
• Helps keep the ice chute sealed between dispenses to limit frost and moisture
• Failure symptoms can include the ice door not opening/closing, frost or condensation in the chute, air leakage at the dispenser, or clicking from the dispenser area

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the dispenser front panel/trim and control to access the ice door mechanism
• Note wire positions; install the new motor, transferring any levers/arms as configured on your model
• Restore power and test ice door operation before reassembly
