The Refrigerator Door Gasket (Beige) is an OEM replacement part specifically designed for Whirlpool-brand refrigerators. The gasket is responsible for preventing warm air and moisture from entering the refrigerator when doors close. The gasket measures approximately 19 ¼” wide x 62" tall.

Causes of a gasket issue can include cracking and degradation due to repeated compression over many years of use. Sections may lose elasticity and no longer seal tightly. 

Symptoms of a bad gasket include:

• High energy costs as the system works to maintain proper cooling
• Warm, humid interior environment allowing food decay
• Visible air leaks around gasket edges when doors are shut

This part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and other brands.

The Freezer Door Gasket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It creates a tight insulating seal around the perimeter of the freezer door opening. 
The gasket helps maintain consistent sub-freezing temperatures inside by preventing cold air loss. 

Causes relate to natural compression fatigue over time, cracks developing with use, or accidental slicing/tears from sharp edges within the freezer.

Symptoms of a compromised gasket include:

• Frost or ice buildup near the door threshold from leaks
• Difficulty keeping foods frozen solid in compartments near the door
• The cold air felt escaping around door edges when closed

It is also compatible for use in Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

The Snack Pan is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a storage bin located in the refrigerator section.

Causes of a bad pan can include cracks, scratches, or clouding of the clear plastic that reduces visibility and effectiveness.

Symptoms of a bad snack pan include:

• Difficulty sliding or accessing the pan due to sticking or binding
• Leaks due to cracks in the plastic forming
• Cloudy or scratched plastic reduces visibility of stored items

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

The Emitter Cover is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to protect the ice maker's emitter sensor, which plays a crucial role in detecting the level of ice in the ice bin and controlling the ice production process. This cover ensures the sensor operates correctly by shielding it from debris and damage.

Common causes of a bad emitter cover include accidental impacts, wear and tear from regular use, or exposure to moisture.

Symptoms of a bad emitter cover include:

• Inconsistent ice production
• The ice maker not turning off when the bin is full
• Visible damage or cracks on the cover
• The ice maker failing to detect the ice level properly

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

The Water Filter Cap is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool and KitchenAid refrigerators. It seals the water filter housing assembly and provides the attachment point for filter cartridges.

Symptoms of a faulty cap include: 

• Loose, improper, or missing seal placement
• Water leaks from uncontained filtration area
• Inability to install or remove filters easily

Causes can involve wear to threaded plastic from normal filter changes. Prolonged exposure to water pressure may degrade sealing integrity over time.

This genuine Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper refrigerator models.

The Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It creates an airtight seal around the door, helping to maintain the internal temperature and prevent cold air from escaping.

Over time, gaskets can degrade due to regular use, exposure to fluctuating temperatures, or buildup of grime and debris. A compromised gasket can lead to energy inefficiency and poor cooling performance.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• Frost buildup inside the freezer or refrigerator
• The unit running more frequently or continuously
• Warm air entering the unit, causing temperature fluctuations
• Difficulty in closing the door securely

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

The Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a small but important internal part that applies pressure to dispense cubed or crushed ice from the refrigerator door. The spring is located within the ice dispenser mechanism and works with a lever to push ice out through the dispenser chute upon activation. 

Causes of a bad spring can include wear and tear over time, putting undue pressure on the dispenser by jamming items into the chute, or damage from excessive force applied during dispensing. 

Symptoms of a bad spring include:

• Ice cubes or crushed ice becoming jammed or failing to dispense properly  
• The ice dispenser failing to push ice fully through the chute
• Excessive pressure needs to be applied to activate the dispenser
• Ice cubes are dispensed in irregular sizes or clumps rather than individual pieces

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

The Evaporator Fan Motor Grommet is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to provide a secure and vibration-free mounting for the evaporator fan motor, ensuring proper operation and reducing noise.

Causes of a faulty evaporator fan motor grommet can include wear and tear over time, damage from excessive vibrations or impact, or deterioration due to temperature changes.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator fan motor grommet may include:

• Excessive noise or rattling coming from the refrigerator
• Poor cooling performance or uneven temperatures inside the refrigerator

The Coupling is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool French door bottom-mount refrigerators equipped with an interior automatic icemaker. As an internal part, this coupling connects the auger motor to the ice mold assembly, allowing the motor to transmit rotational force during the ice harvest cycle.

Causes of a damaged coupling can include regular wear from years of exposure to changing temperatures inside the refrigerator. Mineral deposits accumulating on surfaces over many harvest seasons have the potential to deteriorate plastic material. Physical obstructions lodged in the icemaker mechanism could potentially bend or crack the coupling.  

Symptoms of a failing coupling involve:

• Inability of the auger motor to engage fully and eject frozen cubes
• Grinding or knocking sounds emitting from the icemaker
• Restricted or incomplete ice harvest that leaves cubes in molds

This OEM replacement is compatible with some Kenmore Elite French door models.
