Made to fit perfectly with specific Whirlpool models, this part ensures durability and reliability, upholding Whirlpool's standards for quality.

Causes of a bad Door Shelf Bar can range from normal wear and tear to accidental damage. Overloading the door shelves with heavy items can also lead to stress and eventual breakage of the shelf bar.

Symptoms of a failing Door Shelf Bar include:

• Difficulty keeping items secure on the door shelves
• Items falling from the door when it is opened
• Visible cracks or wear on the bar, indicating physical damage

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

This humidity control slide mounts on the crisper cover and moves the vent door that regulates moisture in the produce bin. Replacing a broken slider restores smooth adjustment so you can fine-tune humidity for better food freshness.

• Moves the crisper vent door between high and low humidity settings to control airflow
• Restores smooth, positive slider action and clear setting selection
• Common symptoms: slider cracked, missing, or stuck; humidity setting won't hold; crisper too wet or too dry; condensation in the drawer
• Direct-fit replacement for the original crisper humidity vent slider

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove the crisper drawer(s) for access
• Lift out or access the crisper cover where the slider seats
• Align the new slide with the vent/damper lever and snap or slide it into place
• Confirm smooth travel through the full range before reinstalling the drawer(s)

This compressor mounting grommet kit replaces worn or damaged rubber mounts that secure the compressor and reduce vibration. Restoring proper mounts helps cut down on compressor noise and prevents movement-related wear. What it does:

• Cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and rattling noise
• Keeps the compressor secured to its mounting bracket during operation
• Helps prevent stress and wear on mounting hardware and tubing
• Addresses symptoms like excessive vibration, banging, or unusual compressor noise

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Support the compressor while removing and installing mounts to prevent strain or shifting
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid over-tightening fasteners that can compress or damage grommets

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 hole cover seals an access/opening in the refrigerator evaporator housing to help maintain proper airflow and prevent moisture or frost from entering the cabinet. A simple replacement that restores the evaporator enclosure's intended seal. What it does:

• Seals an opening in the evaporator housing to reduce air leaks and unwanted moisture entry
• Helps prevent excessive frost or ice buildup near the evaporator area
• Supports consistent cooling by keeping the evaporator cover intact
• Can stop interior water or debris from entering the evaporator cavity

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove the evaporator cover or access panel as required to reach the opening
• Press or snap the cover into place until it seats securely; no special tools typically required
• If the cover is brittle or damaged, inspect surrounding mounting surfaces and replace as needed

This rear thermostat seal is a small rubber gasket that protects the thermostat opening and helps keep appliance compartments sealed for proper temperature control. Replacing a damaged seal helps maintain safe, consistent operation. What it does:

• Seals the thermostat mounting area to prevent air leaks that can affect temperature regulation
• Helps protect the thermostat from dust, lint, and moisture
• Can reduce intermittent heating or cooling caused by air loss around the thermostat
• Fits at the rear thermostat location to ensure the sensor reads accurate cabinet temperatures

• One rear thermostat seal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before replacing the seal to avoid shock or injury
• Replacement typically requires access to the thermostat at the rear panel—follow appliance-specific disassembly steps
• Inspect the thermostat and surrounding area for damage or contamination while replacing the seal
• Use proper hand tools and avoid over-stretching the gasket during installation

This replacement thermostat knob lets you set and adjust oven or range temperatures with a secure grip and clear pointer for accurate selection. It restores control when the original knob is cracked, stripped, or missing. What it does:

• Fits onto the thermostat shaft to select and hold the desired temperature setting
• Provides a clear pointer for accurate temperature selection
• Replaces cracked, worn, loose, or missing knobs that prevent temperature changes
• Helps restore safe, predictable appliance operation when the original control is damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical hazard
• Remove the old knob by pulling straight off the control shaft; align and press the new knob onto the shaft until fully seated

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

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