This thermistor is the refrigerator's temperature sensor. It sends resistance readings to the control board so it can regulate the compressor, fans, and defrost cycle, helping maintain stable, consistent temperatures in normal operation.

• Monitors internal temperature and reports to the electronic control
• Helps manage compressor and fan run time for proper cooling
• Informs defrost timing to reduce frost/ice buildup
• Failure may present as temperature swings, food too warm or freezing, long run times, or temperature-related error codes/alarms

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the sensor location; note original wire routing and placement
• Move any existing clip/insulation to the new sensor and connect securely; mount in the same position for accurate readings
• Restore power and allow time for temperatures to stabilize

This screw support secures the dryer drum ladder assembly, helping maintain proper alignment and stable rotation for reliable drying performance. It replaces a worn or broken support to reduce noise and rattling during operation. What it does:

• Holds the ladder/support bracket in place so the drum rotates smoothly.
• Prevents excessive movement that can cause scraping, knocking, or rubbing noises.
• Restores correct positioning to reduce wear on adjacent components.
• Suitable when the original support is cracked, bent, or missing fastener points.

• One screw support (ladder) as shown.

• Intended for experienced DIYers; confirm compatibility with your model before installing.
• Disconnect power (unplug electric or shut off gas and unplug) before beginning work.
• Handle small parts carefully and keep track of fasteners; use appropriate hand tools.

This replacement screw secures appliance panels and components to restore proper fit and stop loose or rattling parts. A simple, OEM-compatible fastener that helps maintain safe, stable operation and original assembly alignment. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, brackets or components to prevent movement and vibration
• Restores proper fit when a screw is missing or stripped
• Helps eliminate rattling, gaps, or misaligned parts
• Fits the OEM threaded holes and fastening points

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before accessing internal components
• Use the correct driver to avoid stripping the head; hand-start threads before final tightening
• Do not overtighten—stop when snug to avoid damaging threads or plastic parts
• Keep removed hardware organized to ensure correct reassembly

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

This thermistor is the refrigerator's temperature sensor. It continuously measures compartment temperature and sends resistance signals to the control, helping the system regulate cooling for steady performance and consistent food preservation.

• Senses compartment air temperature through resistance changes
• Reports to the electronic control to regulate cooling components
• Failure can cause temperatures that are too warm or too cold
• May lead to extended run times, short cycling, or erratic temperature swings
• Some models display a sensor/thermistor error code

• Disconnect power before servicing and wear appropriate PPE.
• Match the original sensor location and wire routing; secure any clips or retainers.
• Ensure the connector is fully seated and wires are not pinched.
• Restore power and allow the refrigerator time to stabilize before evaluating temperatures.

This baffle assembly directs flow inside the appliance to help ensure proper operation of the control area and internal airflow/water routing. Replaces a worn or damaged diffuser to restore intended flow behavior. What it does

• Guides and diffuses flow within the control/chamber area to maintain correct circulation patterns.
• Helps prevent misdirected flow that can cause noisy operation or inconsistent performance.
• Commonly replaced if cracked, broken, or deformed from impact or wear.
• Compatible with the factory mounting and fit where the OEM diffuser is specified.

• One baffle assembly as shown.

• High-level replacement: remove access panels per your model's service instructions to reach the old baffle; swap with the new piece and reassemble.
• Use appropriate tools and keep fasteners organized; do not force parts into position.
• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before accessing electrical components.

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

This air baffle assembly regulates and directs cold airflow inside the refrigerator, typically between the freezer and fresh food sections. Replacing a damaged baffle helps restore balanced air distribution for more even cooling and stable temperatures throughout. What it does:

• Controls the amount and direction of airflow to maintain set temperatures
• Helps reduce warm spots or over-cooling in the fresh food compartment
• A cracked, missing, or misaligned baffle may lead to a warm refrigerator while the freezer stays cold
• Air leaks or obstruction at the baffle can cause frost or unusual air noise near the vent

• 1 air baffle assembly

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove shelves and the interior vent/diffuser cover to access the baffle
• Retain and transfer any screws, clips, or seals from the original part as required
• Seat the new baffle fully so the seal engages evenly; reassemble and verify airflow

This diffuser assembly directs and evens airflow inside the appliance to help maintain consistent circulation and performance. It replaces a damaged or worn diffuser to restore proper air distribution and reduce airflow issues. What it does:

• Guides and evens airflow through the appliance to promote uniform circulation
• Helps prevent hotspots or poor air movement caused by cracked or broken diffusers
• Can reduce rattling or vibration when the original diffuser is loose or damaged
• Works as part of the airflow path to support the appliance's normal operating performance

• One diffuser assembly (air), as shown

• High-level replacement: remove access panels and fasteners securing the old diffuser before installing the new part
• Keep parts and fasteners organized; verify correct orientation so airflow is not obstructed
• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid shock or injury

A thermistor assembly that measures refrigerator temperature and sends that data to the control board so the appliance can regulate cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature control. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and converts it to a signal the control board uses to adjust cooling.
• Helps regulate compressor, evaporator, and defrost cycles when operating correctly.
• Common symptom: erratic or incorrect refrigerator/freezer temperatures.
• Common symptom: cooling failure, long run times, or temperature-related error codes.

• Disconnect power before accessing or replacing the thermistor to avoid shock.
• Handle the sensor element and wiring gently; avoid pinching or crimping the leads.
• Install in the same location and orientation shown in the OEM diagram for reliable readings.

The Thermistor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This temperature-sensitive sensor monitors conditions inside refrigerator and freezer compartments. It provides critical feedback to the electronic control module, regulating cool air temperature in both sections.

Symptoms of a faulty thermistor include:

• Fluctuating temperatures where sections become too warm or cold  
• Frequent cycling of evaporator fans and cooling components
• Defrost issues or Er/Ed error codes shown on displays

Causes can involve regular exposure to changing interior environments over many years. Mineral deposits accumulating may lead to sensor surfaces becoming insulated. Physical stress from overloading could potentially crack the thermistor over time as well. 

This OEM replacement part is compatible with some Kenmore Elite models too.
