Ed5rhextl66 - Whirlpool Parts

A replacement machine screw with 8-32 threads used to secure panels and components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. Installs quickly to restore proper fit and stop rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim, brackets or components that use 8-32 machine-thread fasteners
• Restores proper alignment and prevents vibration-related noise
• Replaces missing, stripped, or damaged screws that allow parts to come loose
• Works where a standard 8-32 machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power and/or gas before servicing the appliance to reduce shock or injury risk
• Use the proper screwdriver or nut driver for the screw head to avoid stripping
• Thread gently and stop when snug; do not overtighten to prevent stripping or damage
• If threads are damaged, replace with the correct-size screw rather than forcing it

This track is the replacement rack guide that supports and guides a dishwasher or oven rack so it slides smoothly in and out. It restores proper rack alignment and prevents the rack from sticking or tipping. What it does:

• Provides a smooth sliding surface for a rack to roll or glide along
• Restores proper rack alignment to prevent tipping and rubbing
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken guides that cause sticking or noisy operation
• Compatible with factory mounting points to maintain original movement

• Disconnect power and water (if applicable) before servicing the appliance
• Remove the affected rack and any retaining clips or screws to replace the track
• Tighten fasteners securely and test rack movement after installation

This air baffle directs and controls cold airflow inside the refrigerator compartment to help maintain even temperatures and proper circulation. Replaces a cracked, warped, or missing baffle to restore intended airflow paths. What it does

• Directs cold air from the evaporator into the refrigerator compartment for balanced cooling.
• Helps prevent uneven temperatures and localized warm or cold spots.
• Reduces excessive airflow directly onto stored items that can cause freezing or drying.
• Can rattle or obstruct airflow when cracked or loose, causing noise or reduced performance.

• One air baffle

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work.
• Installation typically requires removing shelves or drawers for access; handle plastic parts gently to avoid damage.
• Align tabs or tracks and snap the baffle into place; do not force or bend beyond natural fit.

Includes both right and left hand sides.

This insul-sound deadening pad reduces vibration and noise by dampening panels and components in laundry and kitchen appliances. It's a small adhesive-backed sound/isolation pad used where noise or rattles transfer through metal surfaces. What it does

• Dampens rattles and reduces structure-borne noise from panels, cabinets and housings.
• Helps isolate vibrating components from appliance chassis to lower perceived sound.
• Commonly applied behind control panels, cabinet walls or on motor mounts to cut vibration transmission.
• Useful when worn, detached or hardened factory pads allow increased noise.

• One insul-sound deadening pad

• Disconnect power before servicing an appliance to avoid shock or injury.
• Clean and dry mounting surface; press pad firmly to ensure adhesive contact.
• Replace only in the original location; do not cover vents or moving parts.
• If adhesive is weak, use OEM-approved adhesive; avoid solvents that may damage finishes.

This hinge shim installs at the bottom refrigerator door hinge to fine-tune door height and alignment. Replacing a missing or damaged shim helps the door close smoothly and seal evenly for reliable performance.

• Positions the door by spacing the bottom hinge for correct height and alignment
• Helps restore smooth closing and consistent gasket contact
• Useful after hinge or gasket service to set the door-to-cabinet gap

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Support the door; remove bottom hinge fasteners and lift the door off per your manual
• Add or replace shim(s) on the bottom hinge, then reinstall and tighten hardware
• Check level and uniform gasket contact around the door

Rod retainer clip secures a support rod or shaft to keep moving parts aligned and stable during operation. Replacing a worn or broken clip prevents rattling, binding, or components falling out and helps restore proper mechanical function. What it does:

• Holds a support rod or shaft in place to maintain alignment of moving components.
• Prevents rods from sliding out or shifting, which can cause rattling, binding, or misalignment.
• Replace if the clip is bent, cracked, corroded, or no longer grips the rod securely.
• Common symptom: loose or misaligned parts, unusual noises, or components that detach during use.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing the appliance.
• Access may require removing panels, covers, or nearby components—follow the OEM service manual.
• Remove the old clip and carefully press or snap the replacement into place; avoid over-bending the clip.

This replacement screw secures panels, trim pieces and small assemblies so covers and components stay aligned and rattle-free. It's a simple, direct fastening part used when an original screw is missing or damaged. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, control housings and other small components to the appliance chassis
• Replaces missing, worn or stripped screws that cause loose panels or rattling noises
• Restores correct alignment of covers and trims after service or disassembly
• Provides a direct, hardware-level repair instead of temporary fixes

• Disconnect power (and gas, where applicable) and ensure the appliance is cool before starting.
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and turn until snug; do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts.
• Keep removed hardware for reference; replace like-for-like if threads or inserts are damaged.
• Wear eye protection and gloves when working on appliances.
