Color: Grey

The Flapper Door with Mullion Heater is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part helps seal the gap between the refrigerator and freezer doors, preventing warm air from entering and cold air from escaping.  

Causes of a bad flapper door with mullion heater can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues affecting the heater, physical damage from repeated opening and closing of the doors, or warping due to temperature fluctuations.

Symptoms of a bad flapper door with mullion heater include:

• Condensation or frost buildup around the door seal
• Increased energy consumption due to temperature inefficiency
• The refrigerator door not closing properly
• Visible damage or wear to the flapper door or heater

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

Ice maker not filling properly or water leaking in freezer? A cracked fill cup causes inconsistent fills and leaks. Simple DIY fix guides water correctly.

Replacement door handle for your refrigerator. Restores secure grip when original is cracked, broken, or worn. Mounts directly to door for safe opening.

Ice stripper removes ice cubes from the ice maker mold so the dispenser or storage bin fills properly. Replacing a worn or broken stripper helps the ice maker eject cubes cleanly and reduces ice jams or stuck cubes. What it does:

• Pushes or guides harvested cubes out of the ice mold into the bin during the ice maker's harvest cycle.
• Prevents cubes from sticking in the mold; a damaged stripper can cause incomplete ejection or leftover ice in the mold.
• Works with the ice maker's ejector mechanism to maintain consistent cube release and storage.
• A faulty or broken stripper may lead to noisy operation, partial fills, or visible ice build-up in the mold.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock.
• Remove the ice maker or access panel per the manufacturer's instructions to reach the stripper; keep small parts and screws organized.
• Inspect the ice mold and surrounding components for damage or ice build-up; clear ice before installing the new stripper.
• After installation, restore power and run a test harvest cycle to ensure proper cube ejection.

Water pooling in freezer or fridge? A clogged or cracked defrost drain funnel causes leaks. DIY fix in 30-45 minutes by accessing the rear freezer panel.

Replaces a cracked, warped, or missing cover on your refrigerator. Protects internal components and restores proper fit so parts stay secured.

This thermostat retainer clip secures the defrost thermostat to the evaporator tubing in your refrigerator or freezer, maintaining firm contact for accurate temperature sensing and dependable defrost operation.

• Holds the thermostat firmly against the evaporator line for proper temperature feedback
• Helps prevent a loose or dangling thermostat that contribute to frost buildup and poor defrost performance
• Restores correct mounting when the original clip is cracked, bent, or missing
• Common signs include a broken clip or a thermostat not attached to the coil

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove accumulated frost/ice as needed without prying on coil fins
• Position the thermostat body flat against the tubing and snap the retainer over it, avoiding pinched wires or damaged fins
• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power

• Transfers user temperature adjustments to the control mechanism so the appliance reaches the set temperature
• Restores correct temperature changes when the control knob or selector fails to respond
• Helps address symptoms like incorrect temperature readings, temperature not changing, or unstable cooling behavior
• Works with the existing control housing and selector components to re-establish normal operation

• One temperature control bar

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electric shock
