This rubber grommet cushions and seals a wiring, hose, or shaft opening to help prevent abrasion, reduce vibration, and maintain a snug fit for quieter, safer appliance operation. What it does:

• Protects wiring, hoses, or moving shafts from chafing and wear
• Helps seal openings to limit water, air, or lint intrusion
• Dampens vibration and reduces noise where panels or components meet
• Worn or damaged grommets can cause rubbing sounds, visible wear, loose hoses, or leaks

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Push-fit replacement in most applications; a small screwdriver or needle-nose pliers can help with removal or alignment
• Inspect surrounding seals, hoses, and mounting surfaces and replace damaged parts as needed

This door hinge secures and guides the appliance door so it opens and closes smoothly and stays aligned. It replaces a worn or damaged hinge to restore proper door operation and prevent sagging or gaps. What it does:

• Provides pivot support so the door swings smoothly and stays in position
• Keeps the door aligned to form a proper seal when closed
• Prevents sagging, dragging, or uneven closing caused by a broken hinge
• Works as the mechanical connection between the door and cabinet/frame

• One door hinge

• Disconnect power (or unplug the appliance) before starting any repair
• Support the door while removing hinge fasteners to avoid injury or damage
• Use proper tools and tighten fasteners securely; avoid over-tightening

Top hinge assembly secures the top of the refrigerator door to the cabinet and restores proper pivoting for smooth opening and correct alignment, helping maintain the door seal and prevent sagging. What it does:

• Supports and pivots the top of the door for stable, even movement.
• Keeps the door aligned so the gasket seals evenly across the cabinet.
• Helps prevent door sagging, rubbing, or uneven gaps that can affect cooling.
• Resolves symptoms like difficulty closing or a door that sits crooked.

• Disconnect power and empty the door before starting the repair.
• Have a second person or a support to hold the door while removing/installing the hinge.
• Use basic hand tools and follow the manufacturer's service instructions; avoid forcing parts.
• After installation, check door alignment and operation to ensure a proper seal.

The Spacer is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators. Located within refrigerator door walls, it maintains precise alignment between internal insulation and outer door panels.

Causes of a bad spacer include cracks or breaks developing from repeated door openings and closings. Prolonged very low temperatures can also make plastic prone to snapping.

Symptoms of a bad spacer include: 

• Misaligned or loose door walls and panels
• Cold air leakage around the door perimeter
• Difficulty closing doors completely flat
• Visible broken pieces inside door walls

This OEM Whirlpool replacement spacer restores critical door insulation integrity. Its durable construction supports tight door seals to maintain interior climate control.

Replace yours if any issues arise. This part is also compatible with some GE, Crosley, and select Kenmore side-by-side models. Reliable seal performance relies on an OEM spacer replacement when failing.

This genuine replacement door gasket creates an airtight seal around the refrigerator door to help maintain proper temperature and efficiency. It restores sealing performance to reduce frost buildup and stabilize internal cooling. What it does:

• Seals the refrigerator door edge to keep cold air in and warm air out
• Helps prevent frost and ice buildup in the freezer/refrigerator compartment
• Reduces compressor run time caused by a leaking door seal
• Improves temperature consistency for food preservation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Clean and dry the door flange thoroughly before installing the new gasket
• Press the gasket into the channel evenly, working around the door to align the magnetic lip
• Inspect the seal after installation and allow normal operation to seat the gasket; check for gaps and re-seat if needed

This compressor grommet is the rubber isolator that cushions the refrigerator's compressor at its mounting points. Replacing a worn grommet helps quiet vibration and rattling and reduces stress on refrigerant tubing for smoother, safer operation.

• Isolates the compressor from the base to damp vibration and humming
• Helps prevent metal-to-metal contact and rattling at the mounts
• Supports proper compressor alignment to reduce stress on tubing
• Helps with symptoms like loud buzzing/rattling or cracked/flattened rubber at the compressor feet

• Unplug the appliance and remove the rear access cover to reach the compressor area
• Support the compressor while removing hardware; replace the grommet in the same orientation
• Avoid kinking or stressing refrigerant lines; no sealed-system opening is required
• Tighten mount fasteners evenly and ensure the compressor sits level and isolated

Replacement drip tray that collects defrost and condensation water and channels it to the drain path, helping prevent leaks and water damage in the refrigerator cabinet. What it does

• Captures defrost and condensation water from the evaporator area and routes it to the drain pan.
• Prevents water pooling inside the cabinet or onto the floor when functioning properly.
• Common symptoms of a failing tray: visible water under the fridge, leaks from the base, or damp/musty odors.
• Designed for select Whirlpool refrigerators.

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Access and remove the old tray by removing the lower access panel or toe grille; replace with the new tray and secure panels.
• Ensure the tray and drain path are aligned and clear of debris so water can flow to the drain pan.
