The condenser fan motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It plays a vital role in circulating refrigerant through the condenser coils, facilitating heat exchange and maintaining the refrigerator's cooling efficiency.

Over time, the motor-condenser can wear out or fail due to electrical issues, mechanical wear, or blockages in the condenser system. A malfunctioning motor can compromise the refrigerator's cooling performance, leading to temperature fluctuations and increased energy consumption.

Symptoms of a bad Motor-Condenser include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Unusual noises coming from the back of the refrigerator
• The compressor running continuously
• Increased energy bills due to inefficient operation
• Overheating of the refrigerator

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

This wire harness connects the ice maker's cutter grid to the appliance's electrical system, supplying power so the heated grid can slice the ice slab into cubes. Replacing a damaged harness helps restore consistent cube separation and production.

• Routes electrical power to the cutter grid/heating wires
• A failed, loose, or heat-damaged harness may prevent the grid from warming
• Common symptoms may include whole sheets or large chunks in the bin, cubes not separating, or intermittent/slow ice production
• Visual signs can include melted/discolored grid connectors or broken/brittle conductors

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow the cutter grid to cool completely
• Note wiring/connector orientation; transfer one connection at a time to match original routing
• Seat connectors fully and secure the harness in original clips/standoffs away from sharp edges
• After reassembly, restore power and verify the cutter grid warms during a cycle

This front-and-rear mounting bracket secures the appliance's front and rear assemblies to the cabinet, restoring proper alignment and support. Replacing a worn or damaged bracket helps reduce panel movement, rattling and improper fit. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for the appliance's front and rear assemblies to maintain alignment and cabinet integrity.
• Stops or reduces rattling, vibration and shifting caused by loose or broken mounting hardware.
• Prevents gaps and misalignment that can affect doors, panels or controls.
• Fits original mounting locations to restore factory support.

• Bracket (front and rear)

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Use the original fasteners or manufacturer-recommended hardware; do not force or bend the bracket.
• Inspect adjacent mounting points and fasteners for wear; replace any damaged parts.

This hole plug covers an unused opening in the appliance cabinet. It restores a clean, finished look and helps keep spills, dust, and moisture out of internal components.

• Seals an unused hole in the cabinet for a tidy, finished appearance
• Helps protect internal parts from liquids, dust, and humidity
• Covers sharp or unfinished edges around open holes
• Common signs it's needed: missing/broken cap, exposed hole, or a plug that won't stay seated

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas/water before starting.
• Remove the old plug; access from the front or from behind the panel as needed.
• Align and press the new plug firmly into the opening until fully seated and flush.
• If panel removal is required for access, handle sheet metal carefully and reinstall all fasteners.
