This genuine replacement part is an evaporator used in refrigerators. The evaporator is the part that exchanges heat to cool the refrigerator. It is the component of the refrigerator that absorbs the heat from the air inside, turning it cool through absorption. If the refrigerator is no longer cooling properly, this could mean it's time for a new evaporator. This is a genuine replacement evaporator compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Sears, and Kenmore brand refrigerators.

• Helps correct symptoms such as inability to change heat level, intermittent temperature changes, or a slider that feels loose or won't stay in position
• Works as the mechanical interface between the console knob/lever and the dryer's control assembly

• One slide temperature control (single slider assembly)

• High-level replacement for users comfortable removing control consoles; disconnect power before service
• Handle control panel clips and trim carefully to avoid cracking plastic bezels
• Verify proper seating and alignment of the slider on the control shaft before reassembly

This O-ring seal provides a watertight seal for the appliance's water path, helping prevent leaks and maintain proper operation. Use this exact replacement when the original ring is cracked, flattened, or worn. What it does:

• Creates a pressure-tight seal at a water connection to stop drips and leaks
• Keeps water contained inside hoses, valves or pump fittings
• Restores proper sealing when the original O-ring becomes brittle or deformed
• Helps prevent water damage to cabinetry and flooring from appliance leaks

• One O-ring seal

• Turn off power and water supply before beginning any repair
• Remove the old O-ring and clean mating surfaces of debris and buildup
• Inspect the groove or fitting for damage; replace the part if the mating surface is scored
• If needed, use a small amount of manufacturer-recommended lubricant to ease installation and protect the O-ring

This wire harness connects the freezer/fresh-food control assembly to the refrigerator's wiring, restoring proper signal and power routing so controls and sensors communicate reliably. Designed to replace a damaged or worn control harness. What it does:

• Routes power and signal between the freezer/fresh-food control board and connected components
• Restores communication to sensors, switches, and control circuits
• Common symptom: control errors, intermittent cooling, or non-responsive controls when harness is damaged
• Prevents intermittent connections caused by frayed wires, broken terminals, or loose plugs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair
• Handle connectors and terminals carefully to avoid bending pins or causing additional damage
• Route harness along original wire paths and secure with existing clips or ties; avoid sharp edges and heat sources
