Ev160ztq02 Parts

This is a replacement compressor for refrigerators manufactured by Whirlpool. The compressor plays a critical role in the refrigerator's ability to properly cool and preserve food. It adds heat and pressure to the system, as well as circulating refrigerant through the system. As the heart of the refrigerator, when the compressor fails, the appliance will no longer cool properly. Refrigerator compressors are subject to a great deal of wear and tear, voltage surges, heat, and other factors. Air, moisture, or dust entering the compressor can also cause damage. Signs the compressor may need to be replaced include frequent cycling, infrequent cycling, and failure to cool.This is a genuine OEM replacement part, and it is sold individually. It is compatible with Whirlpool, Amana, Admiral, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, Roper, and Kenmore branded refrigerators.

This evaporator block is a molded insulation piece that helps direct airflow and limit frost build-up around the evaporator in refrigerator freezers. Replacing a damaged or missing block restores proper airflow paths and helps maintain consistent cooling. What it does:

• Fits around the evaporator to insulate and channel cold air through the correct passages.
• Limits excessive frost accumulation on the evaporator coil by closing unwanted gaps.
• Helps maintain even temperatures in the freezer compartment for reliable cooling.
• Can reduce cycling issues and improve overall fridge performance when original insulation is compromised.

• One evaporator insulation block

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock.
• Defrost and remove accumulated ice from the evaporator area before installing the new block.
• Remove evaporator cover/panels as needed; handle the block gently to avoid tearing molded foam.
• Reassemble panels and restore power; check for proper airflow and ice/frost levels after a full defrost cycle.

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption

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

The Door Handle Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It contains both door handles, linkage, fasteners, and installation instructions needed to operate the refrigerator doors. Please note: Handle may be longer, this is a "cut to fit" design. For white order WP2162555. No longer made in almond. Includes both refrigerator and freezer door handles.

Symptoms of a bad door handle kit include:

• Difficulty opening the refrigerator door(s)
• Handles no longer latches the doors securely closed
• Loose, wobbly, or sagging door handles
• Damaged finishes on the plastic handle components

Causes can be normal wear and tear over years of use, brute force twisting of the handles, or issues related to over-tightened door gaskets putting pressure on the linkage.

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

This gate support is the structural bracket that stabilizes the gate or flap inside your appliance, keeping it aligned and moving freely. Replacing a worn support restores smooth operation and helps eliminate noise from loose or misaligned parts.

• Provides stable support for the gate/flap within the assembly
• Maintains correct alignment and clearance for smooth opening/closing
• Reduces excess movement that can cause rattling or rubbing
• Replace if the gate feels loose, binds, won't stay closed, or the support is cracked/broken

What's included: 1 gate support Install notes:

• Disconnect power; also turn off gas or water supply
• Allow the unit to cool and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the gate assembly and note fastener locations/orientation before removal
• Transfer existing hardware, secure the new support, and verify smooth gate movement before reassembly

Relay and overload kit for a compressor.

This door stop replaces the worn or broken stop that limits door travel and keeps the door aligned for smooth opening and closing. Restores proper door positioning to prevent over-travel and edge wear. What it does:

• Acts as the mechanical stop that limits the door's range of motion
• Helps keep the door aligned and prevents the door from swinging past the designed stop
• Reduces stress on hinges and adjacent trim from over-travel
• Commonly replaced when the door binds, catches, or does not sit flush

What's included:

• One door stop (stop-door) as shown

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and follow the appliance manufacturer's safety instructions before servicing
• Removal typically requires basic hand tools; keep fasteners for reassembly
• Inspect surrounding hinge and trim for wear; replace as needed
