The Whirlpool EveryDrop Ice and Water Refrigerator Filter 2 is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This advanced water filter is designed to provide superior filtration for both the ice maker and water dispenser. This water filter effectively reduces numerous contaminants, including lead, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, ensuring that your drinking water and ice are not only clean but also taste great.  

Regular replacement of the EveryDrop Filter is recommended to maintain optimal performance and water quality. Over time, filters can become clogged with particles and contaminants, leading to reduced water flow and a decline in the effectiveness of filtration.

Symptoms of a filter that needs to be replaced include:

• Noticeable decrease in water flow rate from the dispenser
• Unpleasant taste or odor in the water and ice
• The filter indicator light on the refrigerator turns on

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The FreshFlow Refrigerator Air Filter is an OEM component for Whirlpool and Maytag refrigerators. Located inside the ventilation system, this filter purifies circulated air. This air filter is 3" wide by 2" high and white in color. It should be replaced every 6 months to ensure the best performance.

Causes of failure relate to clogging from trapped dust, dander and other allergens despite regular replacement intervals. Performance decreases as filter media becomes saturated over months of use.  

Symptoms of a dirty or blocked refrigerator air filter include:

• Reduced airflow causes higher compressor runtime hours  
• Odors being pulled into the fridge from unfiltered vents  
• Shortening of food storage life due to unpurified air exposure
• Reduced fan speeds or strange noises originating from the vents

This genuine Whirlpool filter is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Amana models as well.

The Heater is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool bottom-mount refrigerators. Located within the fresh food compartment walls, it prevents condensation by maintaining warm air circulation along interior surfaces. 

Causes of a bad heater include deterioration of heating coils or electronic boards over many years, loose connections disrupting power delivery, or damage from moisture exposure.

Symptoms include:

• Foggy or frosted exterior walls need frequent drying  
• Puddles of water collecting beneath vegetable drawers
• Musty odors developing within refrigerator shelves

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Kenmore, KitchenAid, and some GE models.

Evaporator fan that circulates cold air through the refrigerator to help maintain even temperatures and reduce frost build-up. Replacing a failed fan restores airflow so the appliance cools more consistently. What it does:

• Circulates cold air across evaporator coils and interior compartments to help maintain set temperatures.
• Helps prevent localized frost buildup by keeping air moving over the evaporator.
• A worn or failed fan may make whining or rattling noises or run intermittently.
• Loss of fan operation can cause warm spots or reduced cooling performance.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Access may require removing interior panels or evaporator cover—keep fasteners in a safe place.
• Handle sharp sheet-metal edges carefully and support the fan assembly to avoid dropping it.

This fan gasket seals the fan housing to help direct airflow and maintain proper cooling performance. It replaces a worn or damaged seal to reduce air bypass and improve temperature consistency in the appliance. What it does:

• Seals the fan housing to keep airflow directed through the evaporator/condenser as designed
• Helps prevent air leaks that can cause uneven cooling or longer run cycles
• Reduces the chance of frost buildup or moisture intrusion around the fan area
• Can minimize wind noise from air escaping gaps at the fan assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove access panels and the fan housing to reach and replace the gasket
• Ensure the gasket seats evenly around the fan housing; trim none unless specified by the OEM
• Inspect surrounding components (fan blade, housing) for damage and replace if needed

This heating element assembly produces the hot air needed for effective drying so clothes come out warm and dry. It replaces a failed or damaged element to restore normal drying performance. What it does

• Generates heat for the dryer's air stream so cycles produce warm, dry clothes
• Common symptom: no heat or very low heat during drying cycles
• Common symptom: unusually long drying times or damp clothes at cycle end
• Works with the dryer's blower and thermostats to maintain proper temperature

• One heating element assembly

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting
• Access usually requires removing the dryer's rear or front access panel; follow your model's service instructions
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging the coil
• If the dryer still won't heat after replacement, test thermostats, thermal fuses, and the power supply

The Refrigerator Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This switch monitors the opening and closing of the refrigerator door, activating lights and functions as needed while also keeping track of door activity for diagnostics purposes. 

Causes of failure may be from normal wear and tear over time, moisture damage, or impact if the door is accidentally slammed.

Symptoms of a bad door switch include:

• Lights not turning on/off with door movement  
• Dispensers or ice/water not working properly
• Cooling and freezing performance affected
• Error codes related to door operation

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

This rear icebox gasket seals the freezer/icebox compartment to help maintain proper temperature and reduce frost buildup. It restores the door seal so the appliance runs more efficiently and prevents moisture intrusion. What it does:

• Seals the icebox/freezer compartment to keep cold air in and warm, humid air out
• Helps prevent frost and ice buildup inside the icebox
• Reduces temperature fluctuations that can cause food spoilage
• Can stop condensation or water pooling caused by a failing door seal

• Unplug the appliance before attempting replacement
• Remove the old gasket fully and clean the mounting channel before installing the new seal
• Press the new gasket into the channel evenly; allow time for the gasket to form to the door

This adapter is a replacement connection fitting designed to restore a secure, leak-resistant connection between appliance components. It provides a straightforward way to repair a worn or damaged connection and get the appliance back to normal operation. What it does:

• Re-establishes a proper mechanical connection between mating parts to prevent leaks and poor fit
• Replaces a cracked, worn, or missing fitting that can cause loose hoses or connections
• Helps maintain flow and sealing where two parts interface
• Commonly used when a connection becomes loose, warped, or damaged

• One adapter connection fitting

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas supply before beginning any repair
• Use appropriate hand tools; protect surrounding components from damage
• After installation, restore supplies/power and check the connection for leaks or movement

When the damper control assembly fails, you'll know it. It will be stuck in one of two positions - closed or open. If it's stuck closed, your refrigerator compartment won't cool down at all and things will start to warm up. But if it's stuck open, too much cold air will rush in and your food will start freezing over. The damper control cannot be fixed and will need to be replaced.

A replacement icebox rear gasket that seals the freezer compartment to help keep cold air in and reduce moisture intrusion. Restores the door seal to help maintain proper temperature and reduce frost buildup. What it does

• Seals the icebox/freezer door edge to maintain cold compartment temperature.
• Helps prevent warm air and moisture from entering, reducing frost and ice buildup.
• Can improve cooling consistency and help reduce excessive run time caused by a poor seal.
• Common symptom fix: visible gaps, torn or deformed seal, or recurring frost around the door.

• One icebox rear gasket.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before replacing the gasket.
• Remove the old gasket, clean the door/frame sealing surface, and align the new gasket evenly.
• Press the gasket into the channel firmly; some models may require gentle warming or minor adjustment for a snug fit.
