The ice maker bracket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This bracket is a structural component that holds and supports the icemaker assembly within the refrigerator. It allows for secure mounting and installation of the icemaker while also maintaining proper alignment.

Causes of a bad bracket can include wear and tear over time, cracks or breaks due to impact or stress, or corrosion issues that compromise the integrity of the mounting structure.

Symptoms of a bad bracket include:

• Loose or unstable icemaker installation
• Improper ice production or dispensing
• Noise or vibrations emanating from the icemaker area
• Moisture leaks or water damage near the bracket mounting points

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

This replacement ice cube pan holds and organizes ice in your refrigerator's freezer. Replacing a cracked or warped pan restores clean, contained ice storage and smoother access or dispensing, depending on your model's design. What it does:

• Collects and stores ice produced by the icemaker or manual trays
• Keeps cubes contained and easy to access; fits designated guides in the freezer
• Helps ensure proper ice access or dispensing on applicable models
• Typical symptoms: cracked bin, broken tabs, bin won't seat, ice spilling or clumping

• 1 ice cube pan/bin

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator and turn off the icemaker before starting
• Remove the old pan and empty any remaining ice
• If your model reuses a drive/crusher or other hardware, transfer those parts from the original pan as directed for your unit
• Seat the new pan fully in its tracks/coupler, restore power, and allow normal ice production

Size: 8-32 x 1/2 inch.

This is a 8-15 x 2.00 in. hex washer head, self-locking screw used to secure appliance panels and components. It provides a durable, vibration-resistant fastener that helps keep parts aligned and stable. What it does:

• Fastens and secures panels, brackets, or assemblies to the appliance frame
• Self-locking design helps resist loosening from vibration or thermal cycling
• Hex washer head gives a larger bearing surface to prevent pull-through on thin materials
• Commonly replaced when screws are missing, stripped, or causing loose/rattling parts

• Use the correct driver/socket to avoid rounding the hex head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or damage components
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before working inside the unit
• Replace any stripped or damaged mating hardware for secure fastening

The center hinge pin is the pivot for the refrigerator door at the middle hinge. Replacing a worn or broken pin restores smooth door swing and proper alignment so the door closes and seals as designed. What it does:

• Acts as the pivot point for the door on the center hinge
• Helps maintain correct door alignment for consistent gasket contact
• Common symptoms: door sags or drags, uneven gaps, popping open, or squeaking/grinding at the hinge

• 1 center hinge pin

• Disconnect power; remove items from the door and support the door before starting
• Remove the center hinge cover and fasteners, then lift the door off the hinge
• Transfer any spacers/washers in their original order and install the new pin on the hinge bracket
• Reinstall and align the door; tighten fasteners and verify gasket seal

This evaporator fan blade mounts on the freezer's fan motor and circulates cold air through the cabinet. Replacing a cracked, loose, or warped blade restores proper airflow for even cooling and reliable refrigerator performance.

• Circulates air across the evaporator coils to push chilled air throughout the compartments
• Helps maintain consistent temperatures and overall cooling efficiency
• Supports frost control by keeping air moving over the coils
• Typical failure signs: rattling/scraping noises, weak airflow, uneven cooling, or frost buildup

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator fan (commonly behind the rear freezer panel)
• Pull the old blade straight off the motor shaft; align and press the new blade on, matching the original orientation/position
• Hand-spin to confirm clearance; reassemble and restore power to test airflow

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 machine screw secures appliance panels and components for reliable operation and alignment. A simple replacement that restores proper fit and prevents rattles or loose parts. What it does

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components to restore secure attachment
• Stops squeaks, rattles, or vibration caused by loose fasteners
• Replaces worn, stripped, or missing screws to maintain safety and function
• Matches OEM threading and head style for correct fit when specified

• One machine screw

• Use the correct driver size to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten; stop when snug to prevent damage to threads or parts
• Disconnect power and move the appliance to a safe, stable position before working near electrical components
• Ensure proper torque and consider thread engagement length
