This escutcheon is the outer trim piece that finishes the appliance control area, restoring a clean look and protecting internal controls from spills and damage. It's a simple cosmetic and protective replacement. What it does:

• Covers and protects the control panel opening and switch hardware from moisture and debris
• Restores a finished appearance when the original trim is cracked, warped, or discolored
• Helps hold control switches and buttons in proper alignment
• Reduces drafts and prevents loose edges that can catch on clothing or cookware

• One escutcheon (control panel trim) as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid shock or injury
• Removal/installation typically requires removing a few screws or clips from the control panel—keep hardware for reuse unless new fasteners are provided
• Handle the new escutcheon carefully to avoid scratching the finish during installation

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This thermostat regulates the temperature within the defrost cycle, ensuring that the defrost heater activates and deactivates at the appropriate times to prevent frost buildup on the evaporator coils.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include electrical failures, wear and tear over time, or damage from temperature fluctuations. 

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not maintaining proper temperature
• The defrost heater not turning on
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator

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

This overload is a thermal protection device that mounts on the motor/compressor and opens the circuit when excessive heat or current is detected. Replacing a weak or failed overload helps restore safe startup and protects the windings from damage. What it does:

• Monitors motor/compressor temperature and current draw
• Interrupts power on overheat/overload to prevent damage
• Aids troubleshooting of start/run issues when paired with the start device
• Common symptoms: hums then clicks off, won't start, intermittent shutdown, frequent tripping

• 1 thermal overload protector

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow components to cool
• Access the terminal area on the motor/compressor; remove any cover
• Note/photograph wire positions; transfer wires and fully seat the new overload on the correct terminal
• Inspect the start relay, capacitor, and terminals for heat damage; replace any compromised parts

• Restores the original drainage path so trays and drains perform as intended
• Helps stop water from contacting sensitive components under the appliance

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before accessing the appliance base or removing panels
• Remove the lower access panel/kickplate to access the sump; note orientation before removal
• Seat the new sump into the locating tabs/slots; ensure a snug, gap-free fit
